    Path of Exile Builds Lacking identity for league starter [3.9] (SSF-SC)

    Path of Exile Builds Lacking identity for league starter [3.9] (SSF-SC)


    Lacking identity for league starter [3.9] (SSF-SC)

    Posted: 21 Dec 2019 02:33 AM PST

    TLDR is provided at the bottom. Really just looking for any of your guys' answers and/or opinions on my situation. I appreciate all of it!

    So I really want to do a bow build this league, seeing as they have gotten so much attention and I've always tried to make them work dating all the way back to the strongbox league/beta. Split arrow was always my guilty pleasure--call it bowazon D2 nostalgia or whatever--but it obviously just hasn't been good. It has worked in the past with WR builds, but I never found a satisfying way to also add a single target link, and I exclusively played HC until after the harbinger league...that meant a harder time really surviving and thriving until the key items.

    Now with SSF and working heavier hours as I changed (or honestly, gained) a career, I do SC. That combined with the huge bow buffs this league, and I want to give it a really hard try. I prefer to make my own builds, but outside of the old passive tree and playing HC (where you legit just take 70% of the same high value life nodes), I'm a bit lost. Tons of new changes in the tree are making it harder for me with little relevant experience to make a build.

    I am struggling with even the basics. Crit or non-crit? Probably crit, since that scales into the goal of an eventual SSF windripper build and is great for ailments from all the elemental damage I (presumably?) scale primarily off of from all the modifiers and conversions from my flat physical. But getting the accuracy and crit items has historically been more difficult or expensive (when I played non-SSF) .

    All of these damage over time on nodes are making things hard. I wanted to run ranger into likely deadeye, but with all the free DoT node bonuses, it seems like gladiator would be better for split arrow if I stack physical and scale through bleed. I don't necessarily prefer one way or the other to shatter everything on+off screen over DoTing things to death, but at least the DoTing variants or additions to a build would (presumably?) enhance single target without losing the clear ability, with the former being much more important in this boss-buff-tankiness league. I also imagine it would either allow me to forego a formal secondary link setup for single target, or at the very least make setting one up easier and with less links.

    But all of that being said: I am completely talking out of my ass. The root of my problem. I don't really know the metas over the past few years, or understand a lot of what's really going on with builds. Everyone tells me "lol just PoB it dude" but when I can't even figure out anything beyond wanting to make split arrow work in SSF-SC, how can I even plug things in to just theorycraft?

    TLDR: How do I make split arrow work as a league starter for SSF in 3.9?

    Found an Inpulsa's chest, what should I build?

    Posted: 20 Dec 2019 06:38 PM PST

    I've never had an Inpulsa to play with before so I'm thinking I should do something with it instead of flip it for sale.

    What's a fun build using it, that feels impactful? I get totally bored playing builds like ED Contagion where there's no feeling of impact or directed hitting things; I love D2 Bowazon style builds and leap-slam type builds. (Consecrated Path was a blast the league it came out for instance.)

    What would you play with an inpulsa? Or should I just flip it for cash and meme up my builds?

    3.9 Asenath's Chant CoC Dark Pact Assassin

    Posted: 21 Dec 2019 03:19 AM PST

    https://pastebin.com/mJgDDXqN

    Points about the PoB


    Chaining between autocast skeletons leads to 4 dark pact hits per cast, so average damage is *4

    I set the amount of poisons recently to 20 which is roughly how many hits you can get off in a single shot, so very conservative, and can get into some crazy numbers if you are ever able to unload for 4 seconds straight

    Wither stacks set to 6 from withering step but also can be assumed to be higher due to skeletons withering touch.

    Attack speed is pretty low but barrage hits so often it triggers 3 spells per cast

    Ticking frenzy charges isn't just a meme in this build as i can maintain them easily thorough quiver with the sheer frequency of crits

    Wanted to share my first build and see if anyone had any advise on refining it or sees any mistakes I've made.

    I have a Cast on crit bow i want to socket my stuff in once i link it up, then replaces body with Cherrubim's Maleficence

    Dream bow would have socketed gems supported by Cast on crit and chain an extra time.

    Help with CI Chaos Trickster

    Posted: 21 Dec 2019 03:49 AM PST

    So I have neither played low-life or CI before so I have no clue if I am missing something super important in my attempted build. The gear is within my budget range atm, but I am not sure if the build will be able to run t16s and also do the metamorphs/conquerors like this or if I need a lot of to do so. I have added a couple of potential upgrades with an alternative tree for these.
    You should also change the settings in configuration since I have a weird way of comparing builds.
    I have a couple of questions and I hope you can help me out:
    - Does the build lack damage and how would I improve this? - Is the build tanky enough and am I missing something important?
    - Could the tree be improved?
    - Would the build be better if I swapped to Soulrend with Bane and/or ED for single target?
    - What kind of flasks should I be running?
    Pob: https://pastebin.com/xX9ULiMy
    I would also aim to get a Clarity %mana as ES and/or Malevolence dot-multi Watcher's Eye, "supported by Arcane Surge"-mod on the chest and hopefully a -% chaos resistance helmet when I have the currency for this.

    Thank you in advance for any inputs!

    Trying to make a CI BV trickster with voltaxic.

    Posted: 20 Dec 2019 03:53 PM PST

    Idea is for a CI BV trickster using voltaxic rift can't converting Phys to lighting to cold and rift to chaos ? Does that even make sense ?

    How would I go about building something like that ? Has anyone tried ?

    How is bossing potential of a storm burst trickster?

    Posted: 20 Dec 2019 08:44 PM PST

    Trying to find a new build I haven't tried yet that can also take me through awakener/newly buffed shaper and elder. I've been interested in storm burst in the past but never got around to messing with it, I've run numbers in PoB and watched some guides and it seems pretty decent. Just wanted to get some input from people with personal experience bossing with it, how strong it is/how it feels, etc. Thanks!

    Need help with my zerker Ancestral Warchief build

    Posted: 21 Dec 2019 02:16 AM PST

    Hi there! Hope you are enjoying the league as much as I am, having a blast in this one. I decided i'd give the good OG totem build a try, and so far so good.

    I am starting to feel it wont be able to carry me into red maps. I am starting to feel incredibly squishy and that my damage isnt up to what it should be.

    https://pastebin.com/3rChykNN

    That's my bud right here. The only changes I can think about is finding jewels to fill my sockets (those cost like 50c ea so i've been delaying it for a bit now) and growing a pair and starting to use abyssus instead of my deidbellow. Also the obvious 6L but im opting for a 6L Belly which is again, a huge investment.

    Are there any smaller scale changes I can do/add in order to get some more damage and mitigation increases?

    Indecisive League Starter - Newish Player

    Posted: 21 Dec 2019 01:37 AM PST

    Hello All!

    I am relatively new to Path and have a horrible tendency to not be able to choose a build - I just sit here looking at all these different builds and never make a damn start - I have this issue with everything not just Path so I should work on that I guess.. But hey, self growth is hard ;)

    I am looking for a build that can league start and do pretty well through the acts and mapping/bossing, doesn't have to do red maps but running yellows would be good just so that I can farm currency.

    Builds I have played (probably not well or to their fullest as I am new):

    Summoner - Very much disliked the playstyle. I actually stopped playing the league on this one lol.

    Cyclone - This was fun (was the melee league so expensive, but fun!)

    Frost Blade Berserker - This was super fun but I did this with twink gear. The speed was pretty good leaping around really fast and destroying things. NFI if this can league start though.

    CoC Ice nova - This was the most enjoyable build I have played but with the price of Cospri's I don't want to league start with it.

    Storm Burst - Didn't like this playstyle as well, it just didn't feel.. Smooth I guess.

    Was hoping some of you may have some good ideas that fit this for me? I would prefer something with some form of guide as I do still struggle working some of the basic stuff out (:

    Sorry for the long and probably duplicatex1000 post <3 much love,

    Al

    Build ideas?

    Posted: 21 Dec 2019 12:54 AM PST

    So, i got lucky enough to get myself a headhunter, currently using it on my glad facebreaker cyclone, but i feel that is quite sub optimal. So i was wondering if anyone had any ideas for a build that has nice clear and also can do bosses, utilizing hh aswell.

    Help with a Deadeye Bleed Build

    Posted: 20 Dec 2019 11:43 PM PST

    I wanted to try a bow character since it's a bow league and thought it'd be cool to try bleed with ensnaring arrow ballista. Unfortunately, I've now learned that bleed is probably best left for Gladiator instead of Deadeye (Rupture isn't enough damage for bleed). Is there any way to salvage my character without spending a ton of regrets? Will getting better gear make it respectable or is Deadeye just not good for bleed?

    I figure once I get some currency, I'll invest in crit and then go for Perfect Agony to try to make better use of Rupture's crit.

    Question about DoT builds.

    Posted: 20 Dec 2019 12:51 PM PST

    Hello! I am been having some trouble picking a build this league. I love DoT based classes, and I find bossing easier when i can cast once a few times to stack a dot. What dot builds seem to be pulling ahead nowadays? I tried Vortex but I am not liking it all that much (I like more clear and am fine with longer boss fights).

    What do you all suggest?

    I am tyring my first SSF as 5 herald elementalist with cyclone CwC BV. How can I improve my build?

    Posted: 20 Dec 2019 10:41 AM PST

    I cannot generate pasebin for some reason. please check my char from my PoE profile.

    https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Aboly/characters

    I am thinking to drop staff nodes, but they generate both endurance and power charges for me. and I was lucky enough to find a 6 linked staff. If i drop the staff I have to go back to tabula. I started this as crit arc build. now switching it to cyclone CwC BV. It is more fun and I can keep moving around.

    Posted: 20 Dec 2019 03:39 PM PST

    i see many people are using 2 wands with 1+ lightning gem then run shroud of the lightless with call of the brotherhood, is this a better endgame setup than 6 linking tremor rod?

    not sure what to spend my currency on as i am currently using a 5 link if i should swap over to the other one or go for 6 link

    2 players builds ideas / 10 ex starting budget

    Posted: 20 Dec 2019 03:10 PM PST

    Hey guys, i'm looking for ideas of builds that can be played in 2 players. We would like to do juicy T16s. DPS/Support ofc.

    Do you think it is possible to get started on a 10 ex budget and scale from there ?

    Something like LA or TS or even KB / Power Siphon ? could they do metamorphs tho ?

    And what type of support should we run ?

    Thank you ! :)

    Anyone playing Voltaxic Rift?

    Hey,

    Is anyone playing a Voltaxic rift attack build? I'd love to do like a poison lightning arrow build, but I have no idea how to scale it. Ideally focused on boss killing, of course (given the league mechanic).

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
