    Mind of the Council, Manastorm and March of the Legion is an insane combo with CwC Ball Lightning on Mana Hierophant

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 03:39 PM PST

    I am playing one of the builds I found a couple of days ago and tweaked it a bit.

    It is a mana Hierophant using Manastorm, Ivory Tower, Mind of the Council, March of the Legion and CwC Ball Lightning.

    This is sort of my goal with the gear I have: https://pastebin.com/shaezxkz

    When using Manastorm you don't actually want auras to reserve your mana. But you can use March of the Legion to turn auras into buffs that last really long (~20 seconds with inc. duration).

    What I found is that you still need Vortex. Using the aura in March of the Legion sacrifices all the mana via Manastorm but you do not get the same damage buff as when spending all of the mana by just using Vortex. I guess that is because the reservation cost is factored in first.

    The damage is insane. You see 46,377 avg dmg per ball at level 96.

    That is not factoring in the shocked status, Wave of Conviction, Zealotry and Wrath.

    Not to mention without a single Awakened gem and no gem with quality or above 20.

    The real damage sort of looks like this:

    46,377 * 1.23 (aura) * 1.19 (aura) * 20 (ball ticks per second = 35 aoe radius) * 3 (number of balls per second) * 1.1 (10% shocked) -> That is easily over 4 million damage.

    I would not call the build hardcore viable with Ivory Tower. With Shavs it might be. There can be situations where you use Vortex and get hit by chaos damage right in that moment. It might kill you.

    Tankiest build for bad ping?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 09:46 PM PST

    I'm looking for a tanky build that can do maps and fight conquerors and Sirus. The catch is that I am on a very unstable connection and predictive mode, so ideally it could work without requiring fast reflexes or be too positioning dependant and be able to face tank the odd mechanic or two.

    What are the best choices? If I liquidate everything I have I have a budget of around 100 ex.

    Scourge Arrow Ballista

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 11:27 PM PST

    Been wanting to make a Scourge Arrow Ballista build since the start of league. Finally got around to making a character, playing as champion as im in SSFHC and the fortify would be really handy. Currently leveling as a generic melee cycloner.

    My issue is I dont know if ballistas would even work well with scourge arrow. Not sure what type of scourge arrow would be best for ballista use, either ele hit or a poison/chaos build.

    Anyone have any idea on if its even worth trying, should i self cast scourge arrow, or know any other ballista builds that work well?

    "Best" builds of, or like arc, FB, lacerate, FP, wild strike, ect.

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 11:26 AM PST

    I love the play styles of "go fast and obliterate packs instantly" but I'm not sure what the meta is for those kinds of builds.

    My preferences are tankiness, and trash clear. I'd like to facetank almost everything, but I know it's asking a lot to expect to tank uber izaro jumps or shaper beam while having the luxuries of these builds. Simplicity is huge, I'd like a simple play style of "leap slam, ability, repeat" but the occasional ancestral war chief is fine.

    My current budget is 5 ex, so I would like to at least be able to farm for more currency with that investment.

    I'd also like to take this into at least comfortably farming t16 maps without worrying about dying in outside of the arena.

    My question: What build(s) is the best fit for my preferences? I'm willing to make compromises as well, so feel free to give a suggestion even if it doesn't tick every box.

    EDIT: Thanks for your responses :P

    Poor lvl 90 assassin coming late to the league

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 02:44 AM PST

    So I started this league way late because of work and made a ssf cobra lash assassin for fun. I'm up to 90 now and really hitting my ceilling. I don't have much anything to upgrade my build (about 2ex). I am not feeling like rerolling and would rather respec this character. What could and should I do?

    Thanks!

    Black Cane build theorycrafting

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 02:09 AM PST

    I was thinking how to exploit the newest item, Black Cane.
    On paper it seems average; the mod doesn't stack over two canes and is an inherently hybrid skill.
    I believe I have at least part of the key to make it godly.

    Some considerations:
    1) The phantasmal might buff seems to scale with Summon Phantasm and has a small range; it's approximately 40 phys added per phantasm at max level. Therefore, That's a hefty 440 phys damage added to spells.
    As such I believe you ought to use it in combination with Soulwrest on a weapon swap, which would give you 10 additional phantasms for another temporary 400~ phys added to spells.
    2) An interesting tidbit is that Phantasmal Might gives 1 tick of Mantra of Flames each, which might be amazing for for a fire skill, but other than Incinerate I don't think anyone can pull it off.
    3) In combination with Araakali's Fang, which gives you 240% poison damage and another 20 ticks mantra of flame ticks, you get hefty 165sh fire damage to spells. Why Arakaali's Fang? The main opportunity cost of using Black Cane is making sure the phantasms stay up and are on your main link. Fang saves you from that - spiders are invincible so they would sustain phantasms as long as they are in effect and you can swap it in smoothly for melee splash.
    4) Since we receive a hefty 240% poison damage and have a source of withering touch from spiders, physical poison or Volkuur's gloves is a very valid consideration. Sadly there doesn't seem to be any physical to fire spell that's good for poison other than perhaps Holy Flame totem. As such, I believe you're better off either using a pure fire skill and just consider the phys added as cherry on top or just use a pure physical spell like Blade Vortex and disregard Volkuurs.
    5) With Mother's Embrace belt you could scale your own as well as your minions poison damage via flasks.

    Tl;dr Ultimately I believe as such as a Black Cane user would be an Arakaali's Fang offhand and Soulwrest weaponswap, Mother's Embrace belt Assassin that uses a physical or converted physical spell for poison. I get to like 10 mil shaper PoB Blade Vortex damage, but granted I take it with a grain of salt, it being an poison assassin.

    What do you think is the best use for this item? Feel free to elaborate on the above as well as I'm hoping to polish this concept.

    Help with CoC Ice Nova Assassin

    Posted: 17 Jan 2020 12:16 AM PST

    Hi guys,

    I rerolled from my ED / Contagion Trickster league starter to a CoC Ice Nova Assassin for some more action on the screen :)

    I do not have all the gear I need yet but I have two cospris, pandemonius with Heart of Ice and a five linked Carcass Jack. You can see my profile here:

    https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/_Dr_Med_Wurst/characters?characterName=DottyGriswold

    I am running t14 - t16 maps with awakener level 5.

    The damage seems alright, could be better, but currently my issue is that I die quite a lot.

    How can I change my build to prevent that from happening? What should I invest in first? Is there an issue with my tree?

    Any help appreciated and thanks already!

    Help with item upgrades on my poison build

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 06:48 PM PST

    This is my first league I've really gotten anywhere in (t6 maps so far). I started with a build I found but ended up making a new character because I find making my own to be more fun. My main skills are Viper Strike for single target and Cobra Lash for clear. I have near max elemental resists and 24% chaos but only 3k hp currently and sometimes get one shot in t6 maps. I do seem to have a lot of life leech with the Vaal Pact node.

    I'm looking for really any advice on my build and where I can make some gear improvements.

    Currently level 88 in-game and still trying to find my last lab trial so not as far into the tree as the build shows.

    CoC Ice Nova Assassin Min-Max

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 10:05 PM PST

    I'm looking for suggestions on how to further min-max my CoC Ice Nova build. I also have a few questions I'd like answered as well.

    Why is my attack speed ingame different from my attack speed in POB?

    Does using a Vortex Curse on Hit set up affect my overall DPS? I notice my Frostbolts proccing Vortex and I'm not sure if that is making it so Ice Nova cant proc as well.

    Are my Cospri's Malices set up correctly? Currently my main-hand is Hypothermia-Frostbolt-Frost Bomb and off-hand is Ice Nova-Hypothermia-Conc Effect in that order top to bottom.

    Here is the POB link - https://pastebin.com/AVWc4QY6

    The missing jewel socket is a Glorious Vanity jewel that gives me cold damage leech and a bit of life at Fire Walker and Arcanist 's Dominion.

    Lab farmer?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 05:56 AM PST

    Howdy exiles,

    Was looking for recommendations on lab farmers. I don't care much about full keys. I really just want an extremely fast runner for enchant farming.

    I'd prefer to stay at or under 5exalt budget. Is there anything out there like this atm?

    AstralProjector Shockwave Totems -> Need help designing that last big boost for late bosses

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 01:25 PM PST

    Survival sucks quite a bit (mostly my fault), Damage is ok but weak against such exciting attacks as: projectiles and drox's invincibility.

    Quirks of build: Staves, Astral Projector ring, Hierophant, TOTEMS

    Plz imbue your knowledge on my puny brain as such to improve my build.

    Looking for 2Fast2Exile build

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 09:22 AM PST

    Good day Exile,

    saw many post in the subreddit but still really not sure which are the fastest mapper.

    I'm playing Necromancer, phys skeleton and it can clear everything pretty easily with few investement balanced right?

    Was looking for a build to clear map fast and use the Necro to shut down big bosses likfe Sirus A8 and friend (for science let's say 30ex)

    Any suggestion?

    Saw many ppl suggesting:

    • CoC Cyclone/Whatever (vd,dd,ice nova) --> also Mjolner vs Ice Nova cospri which is the main reason to go for one over the other? (Volatile Dead Necro looks bonkers as well but didn't want to roll another Necro)
    • BV assassin or PF, in theory fast but looks cluncky and it seems that you need to stop a lot (or at least this is the feel i get, if I'm wrong this look really good)
    • Ice shot deadeye - is it good? seeing those tailwind post around
    • SA pathfinder - seems balanced, but is it one of the fastest clear?
    • Cyclone Berserker - been lurking on POE Ninja and seeing those insane DPS number
    • Miner (any from Fire based to Light) - are those one of the fastest?
    • Flicker strike variant - ofc looks fancy, but seems unreliable

    Any thoughts or suggesitons? What is your experience and what are you building for fast mapping so far?

    ^(\Reposting from main POE subreddit, think this is a better place to talk about builds.)*

    Failed Assassin Split shot build needs help badly

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 07:44 AM PST

    So i tried to make a split shot build on assassin and well it clears well sort of but soon as anything tanky comes along its useless, anything to buff the damage out would be great, first time making my own build and it failed as expected. i don't mind having low health n all as long as the damage is insane.

    Need help min maxing this molten strike build

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 05:07 PM PST

    Sitting at 1.3M DPS per ball on this Deadeye Molten Strike build.

    Also I think POB is not calculating DPS correctly with multistrike? My APS is faster with the melee hit than with the balls.

    I want some more DPS, but also so more defense, so I need help figuring out where to go from here.

    Skelemancer Build Progression?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 03:01 PM PST

    I'm not too sure where to go or what to aim for to improve my build other than scanning trade for items that are worth a decent number of ex. I've invested at least 7ex into my build so far and I'm not having any trouble with content (got stuck on the new atlas mechanics, but figured that out).

    What kind of gear should I be aiming for and any other optimisations I could make? Thanks

    POE Noob seeking advice. Chieftain/Ascendant Static Strike Build

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 08:44 AM PST

    Hello! I have been playing POE for a little while now but I'm a casual player and still learning. I'm trying to make my own sort of build by taking bits and pieces from other build guides.

    I was drawn to Chieftain because I like totems but I don't like ancestral bond because I also want to be attacking alongside the totems. I found some builds that use Ancestral Warchief as their secondary ability but most these builds use cyclone which is just boring as hell. Eventually I found Static Strike which is super fun and allows me to use Static Strike and Ancestral Warchief as 6 links. Here is my POB link of my current build: https://pastebin.com/7NEdiQYN

    This is where I am heading to for lvl 100: https://pastebin.com/p19SPp4k

    My questions are: Do I have any useless passives? Do I have a good balance of defensive and offensive nodes? What about my skills? Is it pointless to go for Rage as well as Frenzy Charges? Are there better skills out there to substitute? I have 29% unreserved mana so should I use another herald or mana reservation skill?

    I would really appreciate any help!

    Thanks!

    Assassin bow barrage coc nova / icenova build need advise

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 09:52 AM PST

    First of all character:

    https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/IGNITE_YOUR_BUTT/characters?characterName=Coc_Bownova

    Been working on a Bow coc icenova / shocknova with astral projector. Question is:
    1) does cooldown recovery speed needed is 14% only? anything above will not benefit because of the server tick of 0.33 ms?
    2) What attack speed i should be looking for, with Barrage 6 arrows (+1 from quiver, helm enchant too expensive)?
    3) right now it's 100% chance to hit / 99% chance to hit evade monsters, with 90% crit chance on attack / 100 on spells, will it benefit the build to drop some crit chance for attack speed (as related to question 2)?
    4) Is Coc with elemental equilibrium unreliable?

    Best Blade Vortex character (50ex budget)

    Posted: 16 Jan 2020 08:31 AM PST

    Hey guys, just wanted to get your opinions on what the best overall blade vortex character would be. Looking for good clear speed, high boss DPS, and at least decent survivability/tankiness. I'm currently considering Assassin (either pure phys or poison), Chieftain, or Elementalist, but if you have other viable choices I'm open to them.
