Path of Exile Builds Bottle your Fortify and cruise thru all end-game contents | Pathfinder Scourge Arrow ft. Blast Rain (no totem)

I saw Mathil's post for his 3.10 league starts and loved his format. He was looking at how effective a build was, how much he enjoyed playing it, and how economical it is. These 3 qualitative responses on a scale of 1 to 10, he totaled. But 1 to 10 is a little ambiguous so let's look at 1 to 5, and if you change the wording you get a nice acronym, so this post is my take on it.

So I wanted to ask you all, as some may start burning out or some may start hunkering down on one build to complete the challenges....What was your favorite? Your fuckup build? Your big brain build thats a work in progress? Your most fun?

Effectiveness (how well it worked):

Enjoyment (did you like the mechanics? Enjoy playing it?)

Economical (does it perform well with no budget?)

Ultimately, would you recommend it?

Will you league start with it, assuming nothing gets nerfed?

I'll list a couple that I feel like I have a baseline understanding of.

Cold Conversion Animate Weapons Necro - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2780128

Effectiveness: 4? (cleared all but major bosses like sirus (any A), shaper, uber elder, but never tried / knew how it worked.)

Enjoyment: 2 (imagine having poor mana regen, and needing to resummon your weapons every 100 seconds, that process takes 10-15s). It is clunky as hell.

Economical: 4 (ended up taking like 5 seconds to kill a lvl 83 conqueror on maybe 300c worth of gear?)

I would recommend this as a means to gear up. And as soon as you can afford your new build, ditch it. The needing to resummon every 100 seconds meant you had to sit down and hope nobody was on your face 2-3 times a map.

HoP Guardian Templar - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2672562

Effectiveness: 5 - clear and bossing was phenomenal. Conquerors could be nuked.

Enjoyment: 1 - You are a glass cannon and you will die. You summon with BV, but you are focusing on HoP and not BV, so your BV is really lacking. You need to kill with BV to summon a sentinel, which means it can get really awkward. A unique flask takes care of this, but its still awkward and clunky.

Economical: 3 - maybe a decent starter, but it really shines 2/3 herald cluster jewels tho not the unethical ones.

While this build enabled me to farm for the next build ($$$), and push new records, it felt awful and triggering dying so much. If you are okay with it, I'd recommend it. If you aren't ok with being a glass cannon, I'd consider this my failed build. There's also probably better glass cannon builds that dont rely on clunky mechanics and needing to get into melee range to summon sentinels . . . . . . .

Archmage Stormbrand Trickster - (no guide, just follow a poe ninja w/ voidbringer, ivory tower, crown of inward eye, and a solid rare 1h/shield). See: https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/jerlcregnors/NovelToyotaYaris?i=1&search=class%3DTrickster%26item%3DVoidbringer%2CCrown-of-the-Inward-Eye%2CFevered-Mind%2CThe-Ivory-Tower%2C!Prism-Guardian%26skill%3DStorm-Brand%26weapon%3DWand-%2F-Shield

Effectiveness - 5. You clear off screen. Bosses die fast.

Enjoyment - 5. This ruined the game for me. No other build has been as fun as this, and I've tried a few more that im not super comfortable talking about here.

Budget - 2. This build probably can be done with 5 ex but probably feels really good with 20ex.

I dont know if this would be a good league start but I really recommend it right now. I cant say enough that nothing felt as good as this, every other build I sunk 10-20ex in to try has not felt as good as this, plain and simple. It had the clear of the HoP guardian build (if not better), high block due to glancing blows, insane regen w/ Arcane Cloak and Patient Reaper (need to add fire dmg to spells somehow), and rarely got 1 shotted. I died, dont get me wrong, but it wasnt like my HoP build.

Need some guidance with this lvl 96 Slayer

Posted: 03 May 2020 04:05 PM PDT

Here's my PoB

This is my first league, though I've played a lot of other aarpgs in the past. I'm playing cyclone/impale slayer and I've hit a bit of a wall at 96... I know that is generally at or slightly past a place where most people consider a build finished anyway, and while I haven't cleared all the content just yet (uber elder, uber atziri), I have beaten Sirus a8.

Basically I'd like to know where I can improve my min/max, either with items or tree rearrange. I feel like my damage output vs bosses isn't as good as it could be, and I feel a little squishy sometimes. This is my first char and I'd like to hit 100 so I won't have to do it again :)

Currently it clears chiseled corrupted t16 maps pretty easily, although I naturally have to be careful on -max res maps. I will get inexplicably one shot here and there. I have fully cleared 100% delirum maps but it's not a sure thing.

Budget for improving this is pretty open. Like I said it's my first char, I'm on corona time and I'm just putting everything into it. I've got about 15x liquid at the moment but I can pretty easily make more cause I'm an eve player at heart and pretty good with the market :)

Thanks for reading!

Edit: Are there any particular influence mods I should add in here? I was thinking maybe the +1 to physical gems on amulet? It's getting pretty tough to make changes now without breaking everything else though... got that house of cards going on. Also thinking about maybe trying to replace my drive the destruction/deep cuts with a bloodscent/deep cuts/2 socket. Is bloodscent as good as it seems or will I miss the extra leech?

Any ideas on how to re-roll this to a molten strike?

Posted: 03 May 2020 08:29 PM PDT

Hello guys! So Molten strike is my favorite skill of the game, and i would like to do something with my zerker to re-roll it. Right now i have an impale warcry zerker. I know MS and impale doesn't come together, but is there a way i could use maybe use those swords and the chest piece to make a MS char? I have the items on POE below + 30ex to spend. This char would be more to fast clear maps.

Any ideas? Thank you!

Lightning Tendrils Elementalist - Need help understanding how to improve gear

3.11 Starter??

Posted: 04 May 2020 02:53 AM PDT

Hi all,

3.10 Delirium was my first league and I was having a blast. And with the lockdowns enforced in my area I had plenty of time to burn. However, I am completely burnt out for this league. I've started doing research on potential builds that I could start next league with. This league I made 5 characters and tried around 12-13 builds (although most weren't anywhere min maxed). In future, I would like to find a build that I like and won't need to restart so many times.

I enjoy delving and mapping, with a side of blighted maps.

Some checkpoints in my ideal build would be (in no particular order):

Good scaling (Easy upgrade path, could be item transition or even a build transition)
Good wave clear
Able to delve to ~200 (going into the dark to collect stuff)
Able to delve to ~600-700 (only following path)
Somewhat smooth levelling process (Maybe I'm bad, but I don't want to be yeeted by bosses left and right when I'm doing the story)

I understand patch notes are not out yet, so I'm researching a variety of builds in cased any of them get nerfed or buffed.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Edit:

Some builds I've tried that I would consider playing again are:

Flicker strike assassin, archmage storm brand heirophant, ice shot deadeye, darkness runner pathfinder, summoner (zombie, spectre), toxic rain trickster, herald stacker (ek,di and arc), max block cyclone gladiator, CoC cyclone assasin

Some builds I've tried and probably won't give another shot are:

Animate guardian, cold wild strike assassin, ngamahu flame cyclone

From this list, only the block cyclone would handle delve at 200, and even then, damage falls off even though I was close to min-maxing this build.

Spark build, non-herald stacking, non-templar

Posted: 04 May 2020 01:21 AM PDT

Hi, I'm wracking my head trying to get something working for spark that isn't herald-stacking, nor inquisitor/hierophant, but I'm completely unsure of which direction to go.

The main thing I want to do and build around is unleash spark with seal mender. I got a cool idea to do chain explosions comboing Occultist, Inpulsa, and Voltaxic, has anyone tried it? would it be feasible?

Otherwise I'm open to other suggestions and pointers, I'm just really unsure of the best way to start building i.e. crit or non-crit, CI LL or life, MoM, or even the ascendancy...

Running an animate guardian on a herald stacking build

Posted: 03 May 2020 03:36 PM PDT

Hi I just wanted to get some feedback on running an animate guardian while playing the fotm herald stacking guardian in this current league, Preferably without any links because we are already socket starved as it is. Last time I checked, the animate guardian auras from items were being affected by aura effect, so the guardian actually can offer ALOT of increased damage /movement speed etc, so I wanted to explore whether it is worth trying to run one.

(They haven't patched this right? increased aura effect still extends onto the animate guardian's auras and effects?) Leer cast and dying breath and so on items.

Obviously the main problem is it dying and losing the items I have on it. While I'm not putting uber expensive gear on it yet adn the items are only a few chaos each to replace, I would like to get it to a point where it does not die anymore. I noticed on the wiki page there is a "Animate guardian drops equipped item upon death" which can be crafted onto some gear (while not the uniques) and I heard the animate guardian has an innate large health pool? I can't find the numbers on this anywhere.

But perhaps if I crafted a % life regen/ sec mod onto a rare chest with that mod on it etc. Is there a way to run the animate guardian and keep it alive? I don't see anyone else really running these on poe.ninja.

Edit: I assume the guardian gets all the full benefits of our auras including 90 all resistances, but the problem is the guardian walks through delirium explosions and stands in degen etc.

Need help with KB build that has failed

Posted: 03 May 2020 09:50 PM PDT

Pastebin for my current character: https://pastebin.com/XaiD8BSp

I have been following Furty's build guide ( found here ) using kinetic blast for fast clear speed and power siphon to take down bosses. I love the play style of this build so far, I am just frustrated because my progression has come to a halt.

Here's my problem:

I'm dying 3 times a map anytime I try to push above a tier 10
I cant kill any map boss above an 8 (or any conqueror)
I am stuck at level 88 and I can not progress because of how many deaths I am getting

I have followed the build pretty closely and I am now stumped. This is the farthest I have gotten in the game and I don't know where to go next. I am not sure if it is the build I am using that is halting my progressing or if I am doing something wrong. Any information or tips are appreciated!

PS: If this build isn't capable of playing through endgame I would rather change to a different build that can. This league i just want to play through the endgame and complete the atlas as much as I can.

SSF Cospri build

Posted: 03 May 2020 05:42 PM PDT

I started PoE this league. I'm playing SSF because finding your own gear is (for me) the fun part of an ARPG, but I'm getting pretty stuck. I'm loosely following this build guide, but my char isn't really working. Large packs are fine but I particularly have trouble with single enemies. I die again and again and again on bosses.

Key stats are 92% hit chance, 79% crit chance (with lucky when flask is up), 7.32 attacks per second, Ice Nova 19k DPS, 5k effective life, 40% Dodge, 30% Spell Dodge.

I'd really really appreciate any advice on what kind of gear I should be looking for. (Crit chance? Accuracy? +Cold? More life?)

(Here is a PoB pastebin if anyone has time to look in more detail.)

Just reached endgame for the first time! Got facerolled on my first map, upped my resistances/life and found a Brutus'. Viable for Molten Strike? Build inside

Posted: 03 May 2020 09:36 AM PDT

Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/NExV2Dda

The Brutus' seemed awesome so I bought a cheap second one (corrupted, obv) but Path of Building says it's the same effective DPS as when I was running dual Nycta's lanterns. I'm kind of surprised that's the case, though it does feel a bit stronger.

Besides refunding a couple of my one-handed passives, where should I be heading on the tree? Should I just be focusing on strength over non-fire damage at this point?

Chest piece has MS - Combustion - Multistrike - Ancestral Call - Elemental Damage with Attacks.

Weapon has Molten Shell - Ignite Proliferation - Inspiration

Leap Slam - Faster Attacks - Blood Magic - Fortify

Ancestral Protector - Combustion - Culling Strike

Fairly standard?

(Passive tree / etc. should be included above, bandit passives, have a large cluster jewel with Fuel the Fight and Smite the Weak)

Feeling stuck as a level 84 Pathfinder (Ice Shot)

Posted: 03 May 2020 02:32 PM PDT

POB: https://pastebin.com/An1j7p9t

I started playing about a week and a half ago. I've been having a blast! I'm starting to feel a bit stuck though. I'm currently trying to push maps but

I feel too squishy and keep losing XP to deaths
I don't know how to get maps of a higher tier / with higher level monsters (I have the first four watchstones distributed around the map, but I don't get consistent drops of T5+ maps)
I'm not sure what stats I need. I struggle to look at an item and tell if it's good

POB: https://pastebin.com/An1j7p9t

I've played Diablo 3 a bunch (and a little D2 as a child), so I have some background with ARPGs, but I am very much a POE noob. Any glaring omissions in my build? Anything that I'm using that isn't as good as it sounds on paper? All suggestions are appreciated :)

P.S. To determine upgrades, I check the tooltip DPS for Ice Arrow and then swap the gear. Is that figure accurate or is there another way I should be calculating DPS?

Realized I don't like my build. Is it salvageable?

Posted: 03 May 2020 10:08 AM PDT

First time playing the game with a couple of friends. I decided to go Templar, and I liked the gameplay... until I got (later than I should) the main key gem of the Build... Storm Brand.
I honestly don't like it that much, Im not that keen on that "plant bombs" kind of gameplay, i realize now. I'm only level 30 so I'm wondering if my Passive Tree could be salvaged into something else? Any tips?

Which to choose? 36 Ex Budget

Hello all,

I have two classes that I really enjoy playing, my Glad FB Impale Cyclone, and my Hiero Storm Brand. They are both decently strong but I am trying to figure out which one could put me in a better position with 36ex to spend. Any suggestions on which one I should focus on? Thank you.
