    Path of Exile Builds My 4 Delirium Characters (non-meta, lvl95+, rated, with PoBs)


    My 4 Delirium Characters (non-meta, lvl95+, rated, with PoBs)

    Posted: 20 May 2020 11:20 AM PDT

    These have been my Delirium characters and now let me share with you what I think of them, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and rate them on account of clearspeed, single target dps, tankiness, bossing and fun.

    Self Cast Shock Nova Assassin

    PoB: https://pastebin.com/HWAije5p

    This was my league starter. Normally it would probably be pretty good at that, but - as it turned out - standing in the middle of packs being your clearing method wasn't gonna work out so well this league. Things improved a lot once I got the Astral Projector, though.

    Stuff I like about this build... It has the tightest tree I think I have ever made (the Crackling Speed cluster that would normally be a no-brainer to take for a lightning caster that's pathing right next to it is just not good enough to bother with in this case). It doesn't use any cluster jewels. For self-cast they really don't offer that much and we need to take several Keystones that cluster jewels don't offer (Acro, Phase Acro, Pain Attunement and MoM) and we also need to get all 3 power charges. It uses forgotten things like Militant Faith Timeless Jewel granting us Inner Conviction and it makes full use of the, frankly, overpowered power charge cluster. It also uses in my opinion the most underrated unique item in the entire league - the Algor Mortis gloves. Which are especially excellent because we combine them with Astral Projector for targeted Vortex (which is instacast).

    Overall, the character ended up being a very good all-rounder. Good at clear, great at bossing. Did all the endgame bosses with him - Sirus, Uber Elder, Uber Atziri, Mastermind, Delve bosses, Double Boss wave Simulacrum, etc. With 7.3-8k HP and up to 60/64 Dodge/Spell Dodge, it's a fairly tanky character allowing for a lot of mistakes - which I do make often. It's not a T1 build by any means, though. Standing still while doing delirium, even with a lot of range and aoe is not the greatest and Archmage builds will do everything this does, but much better. However, using Shock Nova with Astral Projector is pretty fun - feels like doing something that clearly shouldn't be possible.

    Rating:

    • Clearspeed: 4/5
    • DPS: 4/5
    • Tankiness: 4/5
    • Bossing: 5/5
    • Fun: 4/5

    Frosty Cyclone Raider

    PoB: https://pastebin.com/40TtmhCP

    Last 3 waves of Simulacrum

    This was actually the first Raider I made from scratch (previously only converted some old Ranger characters into Raiders on standard). So you could say that my plan was to try out a Raider. My plan was also to use Lightning only Wild Strike, but I abandoned that idea pretty quickly after I found out that name-locking melee skills still feel absolutely terrible to play. Converted the build into 100% Cold Conversion Cyclone.

    The main idea of this build was to use the Bloodseeker for instant leech and combine it with loads of dodge and evasion - making for one impressively tanky character. And that has worked. It's a tough cookie that one. Overall, however, I would do my best to avoid this kind of build. While the tankiness is excellent, everything else is pretty underwhelming. Clear is bad. Single target DPS is bad. And that's AFTER I spent about 70-80ex on gear. Before that the character was pitiful. Still fairly tanky but struggling to kill rares in Delve. This character has probably the best gear of all my characters but funnily enough it's also the one I care about the least.

    If you want to play something that's very tanky, but has mediocre clear speed and small AoE cyclone, play the Facebreaker Block Glad. It has way more damage and it's way cheaper.

    Rating:

    • Clearspeed: 2/5
    • DPS: 3/5
    • Tankiness: 5/5
    • Bossing: 4/5 (might be higher, but haven't really done that many bosses with her - on some of them being no-range melee might fuck you)
    • Fun: 2/5

    Power Siphon Assassin

    PoB: https://pastebin.com/sswUgxe0

    T14 Tropical Island medium juice run + Single Target DPS Showcase

    And now for something completely different. While I was lvling the Raider I was using Poet Pens and Power Siphon. And it impressed me enough to make a character centered completely around that. Enter the Power Siphon Spellslinger Assassin. This build has had the most playtime of all the characters (by far) and it has made me the most money (by far). And it's also the most fun I've had in PoE since I can remember.

    The character was from the start designed to be a very fast mapper that was gonna farm Simulacrum splinters... and it was gonna be a complete glass cannon. To give you a bit of context, all my characters since Incursion had 7k+ HP and while that was working great I wanted something different. I entered maps with something like 2k life and 3M dps (when using the Barrage support) at lvl 65 and never looked back. Had a blast and the build showered you with money. You rely completely on your mobility and damage to deal with any threats. Of course, this being the Delirium league and on death effects being aplenty, this doesn't completely work and I settled down on using a Cast on Death Portal to not lose out on the fog. That notwithstanding, the character is great at farming Splinters... and while single target DPS never even entered my mind, by the virtue of trying to get as much damage as possible to deal with any threats as quickly as possible (because you die as soon as something touches you) I also accidentally made the highest single target DPS character I ever had.

    As for the build itself, there is nothing terribly special going on. I again make use of the overpowered Power Charge nodes and this time combine them with Badge of the Brotherhood for also getting 8 Frenzy charges on top. Auxium is excellent for us as well (even though we are not an ES character) and gives us some 240% increased damage. I am again using Algor Mortis for 35% more dmg, as well as boots with 80% stun avoidance enchant (which are a MUST). One other thing that's worth mentioning is that the cluster jewels are providing us with the majority of our stats (dex, str) and we are using Medium Warcry Jewels - as you should on almost any attack build.

    Rating:

    • Clearspeed: 5/5
    • DPS: 5/5
    • Tankiness: 1/5
    • Bossing: 4/5 (5/5 if you don't mind dying once or twice)
    • Fun: 5/5

    Self Sufficient Curse Bot Occultist

    PoB: https://pastebin.com/mFnPjNwT

    Videos of: 100% Delirium T16 clear and AFK Facetanking in corrupted T16 map

    I have always wanted to make a support character (at least once), but me being in a guild that's not very active and not having any friends that play the game consistently enough, it would have to be a support build that could also clear maps on its own if necessary. However, in the past that mostly meant that you would gimp your support ability and your clear would still be bad. The Delirium league offered a solution to that. In fact, it offered several solutions - with one of those being the most overpowered build of all time, and Warcries probably being better too. But whatever. Stacking Curse Effect cluster jewels - how good is it?

    Well, let me tell you. It's pretty broken. As you have probably discovered if you watched the AFK facetanking video. You are not even playing a PvE game anymore. It's PvT - Player vs Themselves. Mobs become basically irrelevant spectators that you can dispose of at your leisure and even map bosses - which still get their damage and action speed lowered by 40% - are a bit of a laughing stock. Granted, your single target DPS is very poor, but otherwise you can clear maps no problem, even at 100% delirium, and even in 6 man parties (probably not both at the same time, though).

    Of course, it's not all great. There are many things in the game that don't get affected by curses. The ever present Delirium on death effects - which are the main cause of death and mayhem don't get their damage reduced, the Delirium specters can't be cursed and Endgame bosses like Shaper, Sirus or Guardians only get their damage and action speed reduced by 20%. Which is nice, but it doesn't quite guarantee that you (or your party members) get to live 100% of the time.

    Overall, though, this build is something else. I lvled from 79 to 100 by playing in groups only (well 95% of the time). Oh yeah, did I mention that this was my first lvl100? Which happened completely as a courtesy of playing a support build that people wanted in their groups - and so invited you for high xp events like Simulacrums, juiced T16 maps, Breach runs, etc. I have a feeling that out of the 4, this one is the one people might want to try out the most, so I am not gonna go into detail about how I made it (it's pretty obvious if you look at the PoB, though) and save it for a dedicated post. The only thing I am gonna mention is that I can't believe how nobody is using The Sorrow of the Divine. If I go to poe.ninja and look for Bane Occultists using the flask, it only returns two results. One of them is me and the other guy using a wrong life flask :p.

    Rating:

    • Clearspeed: 3/5
    • DPS: 1/5
    • Tankiness: 5/5
    • Bossing: 3/5 (easy, but takes too long)
    • Fun: 5/5

    That's it from me. Those have been my 4 builds. Hope you either learned something or got some sort of inspiration for your own project out of this. If you have any questions about any of the builds, feel free to ask them in the comments.

    Looking for fun SSF build to kill time til next league

    Posted: 20 May 2020 10:00 PM PDT

    I'm looking to play some SSF to kill time til next league as I really don't have any other goals for this season. Not planning on playing HC but dying so tankiness gets bonus points but not required. I want to be able to annihilate stuff without any crazy gear requirements. Just looking for something fun and something I haven't played before. Thanks for any suggestions!

    Some advice for my Viper Strike Pathfinder

    Posted: 21 May 2020 03:28 AM PDT

    Hey all, this is my second league playing POE, and only my first playing from the start so I'm still working a lot of things out. That being said, I'm really chuffed with my Viper Strike Pathfinder this league and I've managed to get down Awakening Lvl 8 Sirus.

    Delirium however is kicking my ass. I just seem to die all the time. I've tried a bunch of different defensive auras, CWDT setups, and I try to keep moving and skirt the edges of mobs to avoid getting hit but I still get nobbed on.

    I'd be grateful for any advice to try and get it all sorted out before I start a new Pathfinder next league!

    https://pastebin.com/VMwvJkbm this is my build so far, I've kind of worked it out from guides and videos.

    Would any of my builds work?

    Posted: 21 May 2020 02:50 AM PDT

    Hi, not a super new but no pro PoE player here. I've always had this urge to create my own build for every character, having never killed anything bigger than Catarina (which I did using my Scion Stormfire DI this league).

    I've recently placed my trust in starting the next league with one of these 2 builds:

    Shimmeron Elementalist Arc: https://pastebin.com/uuVKhF00

    - I'm afraid that my golems won't survive red map, and so many CWDT for Stone golem so that I can survive. I'd really wanna play CI next league though

    Shimmeron Elementalist Arc (CI version): https://pastebin.com/qiS9QB55

    Shimmeron Occultist Arc (CI): https://pastebin.com/1NYV89bK

    Idk what to do, I'd really like to play Arc but afraid that I will mess it up just like the other leagues. Anyone here has any ideas I can utilize for these builds?

    Hi everyone, i have recently upgraded my build. But seems like i have sacrificed a bit more defense for DPS. Is there anything i can do to increase my defense while having DPS maintained? Or, i can go for more DPS? Also, can i play high tier maps without worries with this build? I never try yet.

    Assassin Fire BV Build

    I've been running a Herald of Fire BV build for Assassin and I was wondering where I should go from here: https://pastebin.com/GLhSvWtH. I have about 30 exalts in my stash right now. Any suggestions on upgrades to gear? Should I try and save straight up for HH?

    Looking for recommendations for a Delve exclusive build. Especially for going beyond 600.

    Posted: 20 May 2020 08:07 AM PDT

    The title pretty much says it all I am looking to have a character that I use exclusively for delving and would like some recommendations from veteran players on a good build for this. Thank you for your time.

    Strongest lacerate build?

    Posted: 20 May 2020 06:44 AM PDT

    Lacerate is a beast! The damage is so strong even with my current set up-dual wield ichimonji, but was wondering how to make it stronger? Paradoxica? Saviour?

    Pure soulwrest Leaguestart idea / improve

    Posted: 20 May 2020 01:56 PM PDT

    Greetings,

    Fooling around with a soulwrest build looking for more ideas and improvements. I make my own builds, but summoner builds are not really my strong side.

    PoB: https://pastebin.com/W3zkrwLi

    - Aiming for realistic Leaguestart budget-ish

    - Life is kinda low but using diadem/MoM, high block, decent phys reduction

    - Cyclone triggers offering and phantasms (sup by fortify from elder boots)

    - Spectre setup with chieftans for power/frenzy charges

    Build is still only roughly put together. Can this be viable for leaguestart and endgame. or maybe for red maps before switching to spectre focused setup?

    If this build goes somewhere I can make it ingame and test some bosses etc :)

    CURRENCY PROBLEM

    Greetings, everyone. I am new to this game ( MY VERY FIRST LEAGUE ). As i always don't have enough currency to improve my build, i wish i can get some advice on how to currency making from this very powerful platform. Are there any efficient methods?

    in case anyone needs my build to help analysis a suitable technique, here's my PoB: https://pastebin.com/sEvupEjr

    winter orb + medium cluster jewel

    Posted: 20 May 2020 07:03 AM PDT

    Hello guys,

    i'm doubting about my 3rd Voice set up. I'm used to play with x6 medium that gives Pressure Point + Quick Getaway. I'm close to 100% critical rate with a good multiplier, plus 44% double damage.

    I've got a 3rd Voice to use, and i was wondering if i shall increase that Pressure Point x3 (to have 59% double damage) + any other passive (like..?) or get projectile damage and speed like Streamlined + Eye to Eye

    thanks in advance

    Can you help me clear 20 wave Sims? LL Heiro

    Posted: 20 May 2020 11:25 AM PDT

    Hello. I currently have a lvl 92 LL Heiro. I have done A8 and mapping is pretty smooth. I tried a sim and I got crushed on wave 15-16. Can anyone give me suggestions to upgrade my character to be able to fully clear sims?

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

    Char name - suhna_meta_slave

    The build guide I followed was Datmodz guide.

    Here is my profile. I have 18 raw ex, and I can probably put together 5-10 ex if i sell a bunch of elder/shaper frags/maps/etc, so maybe 25 total budget. I don't know if it shows but I do have a watchers with 18% mana as es as well.

    Another option I've been contemplating doing Eroro's max block cyclone that hit the front page a few weeks ago to do sims easier.

    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance
