    Was told to post here, my thoughts on 6 builds from this league

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 06:07 PM PST

    I have played 6 builds this league and wanted to quickly share my thoughts on them here. These won't be build guides but I will be happy to answer any questions in comments. PoB links may require localidentity's fork. Boss considers burst dps, tankiness (confidence against one-shots), and reliance on flasks.


    Cold Static Strike Gladiator

    Saviour + Paradoxica. Glorious vanity (doryani) + Soul tether. 240% ms, 70% block. Extremely fast and extremely tanky. Just need to swap out chain for hypothermia for bosses. Should have just stopped here and taken the build to level 100 but already did last league and wanted to try other builds. This was the delver for the league.

    Vaal Storm Call Pathfinder

    Tried this once before but boss damage was low, so this time used eternity shroud. No phys mitigation therefore glass cannon, however it can instakill AL8 conquerors. This was the conquerer spawner for the league.

    Soulrend Occultist

    9k ES, low life, capped chaos res. Absolutely steamrolls all content. Swapped out GMP with swift affliction for bosses. This was my sirus/elder/shaper killer for the league.

    Earthquake Juggernaut

    Crafted an insane fleshripper while I was bored mid league, decided to try out EQ for the first time. Slower than the previous builds but it was a welcome change of pace.

    Divine Ire Totem Heirophant

    Soul Mantle + Atziri's Reflection + Coward's Legacy. Devouring Diadem EB/MoM. Not a fan of the totem playstyle but I thought that was maybe because I never invested enough into totems. Also thought it would be fun to do a bunch of blighted maps with totems. It was.

    Cold Blade Flurry Elementalist

    Full cold conversion, explosion focused build I saw a couple players playing on poe.ninja. Wanted to try it all league but couldn't afford until Sirus finally dropped an awakened multistrike. Ended up being a better blighted map farmer than divine ire totems.

    Thought for next league

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 02:46 PM PST

    This league I played a Trickster Cyclone CwC Shock Nova that was tons of fun but is still a bit rough around the edges. DPS still needed a lot of work, Life and Energy Shield and Resistances aren't problematic. After I get home, I'll try to edit this with the POB of the current character.

    How would you build a Cyclone CwC Shock Nova character for next league? Would you focus on Shock? Or focus on straight DPS? Would you use Shock Nova at all?

    Edit: Here's the POB - https://pastebin.com/ZKrAEvNL

    Before you say anything, yes it's incomplete. Yes my gear probably sucks. I am open to any and all suggestions.

    Looking for league starter: Poison BV vs ED Contagion

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 06:22 PM PST

    What are the pros an cons of each of these as a league start? I like the potential of BV more, but it might be harder to league start? I also want to tackle delve early down to ~200 depth ASAP.

    Any suggestions? I have never played either one.

    Max block pure physical cyclone gladiator. Need some help or tips

    Storm Brand in 3.10

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 04:43 PM PST

    Yes, I know, we should wait until further teasers or the patchnotes. But that doesn't mean we can't discuss some builds.

    Next league I want to play storm brand. I looked up some builds on poe.ninja and read a few build-guides as well, because I've never played it. It seems, it lacks either damage or life. I want to have an effective hp-ppol of at least 5.5k (or around ~200% inc life on the tree) and also do a reasonable amount of damage. Awakener should be doably (yes I saw the unarmed kill, but I want to do it a bit faster then that ;) ).

    I put together this tree based on builds I saw: https://pastebin.com/TLK9syWq

    Also I'm unsure about the ascendencies. Inq, Hierophant, Ele, Assassin? Any uniques I should/could build around? I'm not afraid of spending some currency on it during the league (about 15-25ex is what I make on average per league).

    What are your thought on this?

    Lacerate Gladiator -Bleed DPS Question

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 02:55 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    Did some tweaking on my glad after doing awakener 5 Sirius to add in max block for high tier map farming and it's been going great, pushing into level 94 but I'm noticing I run out of time on syndicate research labs. Imported my profile into POB and found my bleed dps was around 40k ☹️. Changed up some things this morning and got it up to around 75k sheet DPS in POB, but I see others rocking 100k+ sheet DPS before the crimson dance multiplier. I'm not the best at builds but I was curious if there were some simple things to change /add to get better quality of life out of it. Or am I not checking something correctly in POB?

    Thanks!

    Hi guys..its the end of the league and am wondering if I am able to push one of these 2 toons to absolute perfection. Have about 50ex left to upgrade. It would be even more a fantastic thing if you are able to combine these 2 into 1 uber toon. lol!

    Anyone wanna try dominating blow guardian + semi aura bot minion necromancer for next league starter for fun

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 08:43 PM PST

    I'll probably be making some kind of low life srs or skeleton(perhaps mage) 8 aura necromancer with commander of darkness and I thought it would be funny to try stacking it with guardian ascendency and dominating blow minion. I want to see an army of super fast minion flying through the map while one shooting enemy left and right(unless there's something that makes the combo impossible or not viable).

    3.9 Champion split arrow/ puncture league start

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 07:32 PM PST

    Did anyone league start champion puncture split arrow? I'm interested to know how leveling/ mid game was with it. It seems really tanky and pretty good on dps and I'm considering league starting it for 3.10. Did you follow a guide? Thanks in advance.

    Fireborn Jewel Question

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 03:30 PM PST

    Would this jewel apply to bleeding damage over time modifiers?

    The text says it modifies physical damage, and bleeding is technically that, but maybe I'm making a stretch on the jewels effect.

    My thinking would be to use the jewel in the bottom left bleed nodes, similar to how the Lioneye jewel is used, except for a ignite/burning build.

    Yet Another Hollow Palm Build, lv 95 Glad.

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 03:04 PM PST

    https://pastebin.com/mua4UpeP

    My take on the new jewel:

    • Max block (76% with Rumi's)
    • 5,232 life with 2,406 leech (Vaal Pact)
    • ~5.0 mil Shaper DPS with Cyclone Imaple (conc path as movement skill). Vaal Warchief ups it to ~5.5 mil.
    • Non-crit.
    • Pride, Blood Rage, Dread Banner, and Blood and Sand as "auras."
    • Swapping in a high-end Dex amulet gets to ~5.8 mil/~6.5 mil.

    Resists are a bit scuffed and can be toned down. This also has to much dex in it to really be efficient so most of the dex on the rings can be sacrificed to bring the cost down. As others have noted, defense/life is the hardest part of being on this side of the tree. I think going block + leech may be doable, but definitely still prone to one-shots.

    Edit: Updated with better weapons, no base damage or crit now.

    Any ways to incorporate shatter into a totem build?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 06:22 PM PST

    Pretty new to the game, having fun with an ice spear spell totems heirophant. Damage is certainly fine but the one thing that I've recently noticed when looking into my spell links is that I can't trigger HoI explosions through the totems, which is a shame since I was intending to get onslaught and frenzy charges from it via onslaught supp and ice bite. Is there a convenient way to shatter enemies myself without having to do too much self casting?

    PoB: https://pastebin.com/tDbBw98M

    (I know there are a few other problems rn namely defensive layers and dealing with soul mantle curses, which I only currently alleviate through my flask setup. Just finished leveling the character and spent around 50c replacing my uniques with some rares so it could be functional for testing). If I ever get enough currency I intend to go atziri's reflection with self-flagellation + the low life belt + pain attunement and swap the mana flask for a cinderswallow

    Basically: Any convenient ways to proc HoI shatter for onslaught and Ice bite supp or should I abandon the idea and find some other way to get frenzy charges + onslaught? I'm not familiar with other sources of the buffs, and I'm not sure if respecing ancestral bond is necessary, or worth it. (would mines work?) or maybe there's just enough damage as is?

    Is Righteous Fire still viable?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 10:43 AM PST

    Is RF still viable as a build after all the monster life buffs? If so does anyone have a POB or guide they can link? I've never played an RF build but was always interested so any insight or tips are appreciated! Thinking about playing one for next league.

    Flicker+Frenzy Claw Raider - I love this build and don't want to abandon it (help?)

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 09:30 AM PST

    Flicker+Frenzy Claw Raider - I love this build and don't want to abandon it (help?)

    Hey all. I got back in the game for metamorph and had a lot of fun trying out new builds. This is the one that got the farthest and that I enjoy playing the most... but -

    I'll be short and sweet: I love this build. My favorite to play - but I stalled in the game and I am not confident that I will make it past level 10 maps. I don't like my survivability to heavy one shots and my DPS is not great either.

    That said the build is so fun to play that I'm accepting any ideas! Please :)

    • Level 86
    • HP - around 4600
    • DPS - around 50k on single targets with Frenzy

    POB pastebin: https://pastebin.com/CaH598jB

    My main problems:

    • I get one shot by some spells around maps tier 9 and onwards. Sometimes flicker strike puts me in a bad place and it's almost unavoidable. Every other type of damage I mitigate with leech. I'm learning to avoid spells but it also seems I hit a ceiling with my HP and it's hard to keep all resists and a high hp on my rare gear.
    • My single target DPS is pretty garbage. I have to hold my right mouse button (frenzy) for several minutes on some 5* metamorphs and it hurts. I tried several other attack gems in place of Frenzy but with this setup Frenzy still gave me better DPS - I must be missing something :)
    • My mana sometimes starts clipping into zero and I don't know how to fix that without giving up one of the auras. I don't know how that affects my DPS when I'm attacking so fast and the mana is just blinking up and down.
    • I have no idea how, or whether I even should try to to DoT in this build.

    Useful info:

    • I'm always at 7 frenzy charges, always on Onslaught, always on Fortify
    • I pop my flasks as much as I can (Cinderswallow Urn, Surgeon's Sulphur of Reflexes, Stibnite of Reflexes)
    • With all buffs and Iron Reflexes, my armour fluctuates between 30k and 50k
    • Resists are at 80% each, Chaos at 3%
    • I'm considering getting the phasing nodes so that I can get some phasing bonuses too.

    Passive skill tree (at level 86)

    https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/3.9.3/AAAABAIBAAAGAF4DhwUtBWYFtQguDHMNjQ-rEvETUBX2Fr8XJhmOGbQbrSFgI9Mj9iaVKaUqOCyFLU0uCC9yMHwyATY9Ps8_VUCgQzFEnkd-SQ9KfUsKTP9Nkk4qUUdTu1VLVYVaGluvXY9eRWHiYetieWKsZU1noGqTa5BsjG1sdO108Xeid9d6U3qEeu99dYTZh3aK8I19jb-PYJAKkoCTkJP8lWaaF5pqmyabjZ2qo4qly6k0rWWxs7IZt9m9Nr3mvqe_1cSCypDPCs96z-nTftZY2GDgaeOf5inndOjW6Ubtg-4O-uv8xf66

    • Main skills:
      • AOE: Flicker Strike -> Frenzy -> Pulverize -> Fortify -> Melee Splash -> Ancestral Call
        • (yeah - I use both flicker strike and frenzy together and it feels so good)
      • Single target: Frenzy -> Brutality -> Damage of Full Life -> Melee Physical Damage
        • (I switch to this when the packs have cleared and on bosses)
      • Cast when Damage Taken -> Ice Golem -> Vaal Molten Shell -> Increased Duration
        • Molten shell syncs well with the very high armor, Ice Golem is because my accuracy is kinda low
      • Riposte -> Ice Bite -> Maim
        • I used to have Endurance on Melee Stun on Riposte but it stopped stunning at higher levels so I just put in Maim as a useful-ish replacement.
      • Vaal Double Strike -> Increased Duration Support
      • Vaal Ancestral Warchief
        • I pop these two Vaals on bosses when I have all my buffs / flasks up. Helps a lot with DPS. I don't use regular Dual Strike.
      • Blasphemy -> Poacher's Mark
        • Helps me keep my flasks up at all times, and my mana up.
      • Whirling Blades or Dash
        • I'm trying to figure out which one I like best.

    • Gear
      • dual wield Bloodseekers
      • Bronn's Lithe body amour (I like it and I have it at 6 link so unlikely to change)
      • Three step assault boots (I was using Darkray Vectors too which was fun)
      • (every other slot is a useful rare with some life - see POB for all gear)

    Animate weapon ideas.

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 11:39 AM PST

    Thinking of trying an animate weapon build (non chains of command) now that you can animate off blade skills. Never done one before, but am comfortable crafting a necro/guardian minion build. Thinking of ways to sustain max animates in mapping and boss encounters. Anyone who's done one before I would welcome some input ideas like using the Nuls bow or something to trigger, maybe using toxic rain and culling strike to guarantee kills for mapping, not sure about bossing. Could use a blade fall totem but keeping that up and constant animate to get up to 50 is something I'm unsure of.

    Very Strong Magic Finder

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 12:55 PM PST

    Anyone know of a build guide or video of a VERY strong Magic Finder, I suspect MFing will be quite strong in 3.10 because of this new "loot streak" we have implemented. Most MF characters i know of are quite weak as they only really farm white to yellow maps. I plan on farming T16 Promanade in 3.10

    dual cold points, cyclone, hop/relic

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 04:22 PM PST

    Hello,

    What are your thoughts on this idea: dual cold point daggers, cyclone with life gain on hit, herald of purity and summon holy relic.

    What would be best ascendancies, any issues, weaknesses, etc that need to be considered ?

    I tried to do some searches on poe ninja and it looks like everyone who's trying this sort of thing is going necro - and most people are going herald of agony. I have played a HOA mana guardian this entire league so I am looking to play something that's not HOAG. I think I saw some streamers playing SSFHC with a similar build to this one but I was not able to find any official guides on this sort of build so any build guides you could link would be greatly appreciated as I am not a skilled builder myself.

    Thank you for your time

    Looking for (meme) builds that's first of all fun to play!

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 03:10 PM PST

    In the league before meta I played a cylone CwC SRS minions instability build that I thought was really fun but kinda lacked later in the game and I only got to tier 15 maps. Then I tried a CwC volatile dead with scolds bridle in metamorph and this build was the most fun I've ever had in a league. For the first time I did Shaper and tier 16 Elder and I played the league 4 times longer than usual, partly because I loved the atlas changes but mostly because the build kept scaling well and was super fun to play. Problem with the build was that it melted my pc and I couldn't see much on the screen because of all the skills being cast because of the cwdt loops. So I would love to hear if there are any build out there that are as fun as that one!!

    Bloody Sweep Jugg - Suggestions Appreciated

    Posted: 27 Feb 2020 11:12 AM PST

    My friend wants to play a sweep bleed build for the 3.10 league start, so I put this together. If anyone has ideas on how to improve it, we'd greatly appreciate it.

    https://pastebin.com/HqJ6YLBG

    Important to note: we're playing "SSF." There's going to be three of us in trade league, and we aren't going to trade with anyone other than each other. Basically a private league but we're too poor to pay for a private league.

    Thanks exiles!
