    [WIP] An Int Stacking Wander guide. Zoom Zoom with 14K ES and 15million shaper dps. (Clusters, non-herald)

    Posted: 04 May 2020 09:34 PM PDT

    I have started the league with an int stacking ES wander and toying with it ever since. Recently i hit 100, and about to hit 40/40.

    It has been a joy to play with and frankly the only build i played/saw that can compete with a herald stacker. Finally i decided i tried everything and felt confident to make a guide about it: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2854585

    Basically this is our zoom zoom KB wander used for fast mapping, but also has 14K ES and 15 million shaper dps. All content is done, including all the achieves.

    i still occasionally die in a8 sirus (i kinda noob out when he teleports away and cant find him) or wave 20 simu boss with nasty mods but most content is trivial.

    quick pob link for the interested: https://pastebin.com/721cdhNd (meant to be used with PoB community fork).

    My default setup is 6L KB and 4L PS for bosses (it does 6M dps in 4L anyways). i swap gems for 6L PS for shaper, uber elder, sirus etc where aoe clear is irrelevant

    Gear might look intimidating, but i just wanted to see where it can go. also still room to upgrade

    I hope you like it, or at least enjoy looking at something fresh between the herald-stacking guides :)

    Help... I keep dying, and want Sirus AW8 + Simulacrum 20

    Posted: 04 May 2020 12:49 PM PDT

    I'm a bad player, and old (44 yo). I have died probably 500 times across all my builds this league (so far). I am unable to complete Simulacrum 20, or Sirus above AW0.

    My goals for the remainder of the league are to to complete Sirus AW8 and Simulacrum 20. Below are my builds. Any suggestions on how to improve one of these to reach my goals?

    I die mostly to boss mechanics I'm not familiar with, as this is the first league I have reached end game. I have 8ex in the bank right now. Could probably cannibalize some of the builds to get another 10ex if needed. I'm willing to go with a complete character reset also, and don't mind harsh criticism.

    What are the dumbest/most unorthodox builds you guys can come up with?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 09:33 PM PDT

    I'm pretty new to PoE, just started about two weeks ago with a couple buddies and we just got to Act 6. I'm really enjoying this game so far- I've been playing a Totem-spamming Hierophant and just started a Scion claw character the other night.

    Theorycrafting builds is one of my favorite things to do in these kinds of games, so I wanna know: what are the memiest builds out there? I don't care about meta or effectiveness, I just want something dumb and fun :D

    When is my Herald Stacker supposed to feel "broken"?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 04:45 PM PDT

    Hello all,

    I gave into the hype and made an Arc herald stacking guardian (pastebin or char name = snowcorona). But the build feels a bit lack luster. I currently have:

    • 8 purposeful harbingers
    • 1 replenishing presence
    • 4 heraldry
    • 2 endbringers
    • 5 heralds + 3 purities + haste + wrath + hatred + discipline + vitality + clarity + precision, (cannot fit zealotry yet)

    For reference, with my stone golem build (char name = stonebear) I can do A8 Sirus (usually) deathless and can comfortably do (2-5 deaths, depending on how lazy I get) Uber Elder. The golems just melt all the bosses. While the H stacker is a bit tankier than the golemancer, the build does not feel OP or broken. I still occasionally get one-shot by T14-16 alch+3 sacrifice bosses. E.g. Erythrophagia has an attack where it lobs red spheres that always 1-shot me. Also, I must be missing something because the Arc boss dps feels low.

    1. How would you recommend that I improve my build? Especially DPS.
    2. Am I at the point where the build cost will increase ~exponentially?
    3. How do I get POB to show my arc DPS? I downloaded Fork but pob shows my resistances below 90%, so thus I am assuming the arc dps value is wrong too.

    Thank you!

    Tanky Max Block/Resist/Phys/Fortify HoA/HoP Glad with 16.7mm Shaper DPS [Cluster Jewels]

    Posted: 04 May 2020 01:34 PM PDT

    I've seen a number of HoP builds, but only one other guide with a HoA variant (Jorgen has done some YouTube Videos). PoeNinja has zero HoP Gladiator builds currently. So here it is. (Bear with me, my first build post.)

    POB: https://pastebin.com/KyMh7EXw

    Highlights:

    -Herald of Purity is the 6-link using stacking of Discipline/Agony cluster jewels; each Herald does 1.54MM DPS. We can summon 10 Heralds of Purity total.

    -HoA in the helm pseudo 5-link is used primarily for help with clear; it does 1.15MM DPS on its own.

    -Max Resists except for chaos (-24).

    -5461 HP at Lvl 97.

    -Bleed and Poison immunity (through boots and pantheon).

    -90% Phys resist.

    -78% attack and spell block.

    -250 Life on block

    -54 Life on hit (using cyclone for attack)

    -6k Vaal Molten Shell shield.

    -Build is extraordinarily tanky; I had never previously gone past lvl 93, but now have a lvl 97.

    -We are using the HoA because HoP only procs on either a self-made-kill or an attack on a rare/unique. for this reason, I found HoP-only builds to be extraordinarily clunky with clear. The HoA solves this. [ I almost always get 10 HoP out on boss fights, but average maybe 2-6 for clear.]

    -I have tried Guardian and Necro variants, but I'm addicted to the max spell block, primarily for Sirus beams reasons. DPS would be double if you went Guardian, but you don't have 100% uptime on block. And Necro can't max spell block easily.

    Anyway, any comments would be appreciated.

    Would anyone please recommend me a pathfinder build?

    Posted: 05 May 2020 04:08 AM PDT

    Hello! I like pathfinder in general due to passive potion regeneration and tankiness coming from them. I've been looking around but can't seem to find a decent build to do end game content with. I tried pestilent strike, while the proliferation is fun, i found myself getting one shoted often.

    Would anyone please recommend me a PF build? Either just a skill to use and i'll work from there or a pob. Thank you!

    Hi everyone,

    It's my first league and I decided to start as a chieftain. This is a budget build that I'm running with my friend, but I am currently stuck and have little to no idea on how to increase my DPS in the most budget-friendly way. I would very much appreciate any and all advice, thank you in advnace.

    How do I beat Hall of Grandmasters?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 10:32 PM PDT

    I'm playing a herald stacker. I've never beaten hall of grand masters before; I've never really gotten to endgame before this league, to be honest. My first Sirus kills and everything.

    I'd like to beat Hall of Grandmasters myself. I'm playing Bladevortex. I just died 6 times; really unclear what's killing me. I only reserved 50% life because I hear culling strike is an issue, but still wiped 6 portals.

    What do I need to do to adjust my build? I can beat all the other content relatively easily; Juiced T16; 20/20 Simulacrum (I die once sometimes near the end to Kosis), Uber Elder, Shaper, the Delve bosses, Synthesis Bosses (I die once or twice there too). I'd like to get this down with this build; so would love advice. I can't really tell what's going on with this map.

    Is there any actually viable Viper Strike + Growing Agony build?

    Posted: 05 May 2020 01:49 AM PDT

    This is a mechanic that is probably quite terrible in practice but I've been fascinated by for a few leagues. Just asking if anyone can think of a way to make it work or has experimented with it before.

    So the basic idea is that unlike other ailments, there is no limit to the number of poison stacks that can be applied to an enemy.

    The Growing Agony threshold jewel offers 2% increased damage to Viper Strike on hits and poison per poison on the enemy. So, in theory, our increased damage is only limited by how many applications of poison we can inflict before the first runs out. Noxious strike then scales the poison applications by offering 5% increased Poison Duration for each poison inflicted recently.

    So you've got in theory a self scaling loop of increased damage. Except obviously you have no clear speed, no AOE, and no defenses, so it's basically useless. I tried dumping all my currency at the end of Legion to make this meme build work but my knowledge of POE mechanics is too mediocre to make it even passable.

    Best league start/SSF builds?

    Posted: 05 May 2020 12:58 AM PDT

    So, I've played 6 builds this league. Just looking for what I like in preparation for the next league, really. I've found quite a few fun builds. Arc mines saboteur, Facebreaker chieftain, Spectre/Armageddon Brand EE witch, ED/Contagion trickster.

    The best I can do is t5 yellow maps, some not even that far. I don't know if the RNG hates me, or if that isn't far enough for Chaos to drop regularly. Regardless, I have about 20 chaos for gear, and I'm not seeing what is going to help with any of the squisiness (and yes, resistances are capped).

    So, what I would like to find is a build that can get up to around t10 maps (or higher) on the strength of the build, not the gear. I'm guessing a super tanky juggernaut is in my future. What do I try? An Uber Lab farmer? Earthquake build? Tectonic slam? Ground slam (maybe with ancestral call)? Something else entirely?

    Help with a build

    Posted: 05 May 2020 12:06 AM PDT

    So first off I just want to kind of put across that I followed this guide so you guys have a general idea of the build direction I was taking including flasks, points, gear etc:

    https://www.poebuilds.net/blood-flicker

    I am more or less exactly there except I have hit a brick wall at level 90 so my passive points have completely stopped in their tracks and I have been reliant on gear changes to help survive. I can clear T16 maps either ridiculously fast OR I use up every single portal dying and barely scratching through it wiping out my XP bar in the process, the build itself can either be amazing or the bane of my existence due to that squishy factor it's just painful, I've bumped my resistances up considerably but it's made minimal difference due to the unpredictability of the build it's either all in for a few maps and then completely out for a few.

    I haven't got a POB link but my character is public:

    (Underscore)SoulReaver(underscore)

    I'm missing UberLab, the self bleed factor cripples you and you end up clipping something and committing suicide, I can't progress past 90 the furthest I can get is about half way and then end up getting one shot and I don't want to have to grind tier 12/13 for safety because the XP trade off is just not worth it.

    It's my second league I've ever thrown myself into and I can honestly say POE has gripped me but I don't want to be stuck at this point anymore. I've been here for roughly 12 days.

    I will switch out whatever points suggested, respec altogether if needs be I just need recommendations for what to do at this point.

    So at this point, think of my Slayer/Duelist bleeding flicker strike as a canvas for all of you in this community to come up with something for me please, I'm open to ridiculous as long as it works, I progressed as sunder and then cyclone then bleeding flicker, I enjoyed cyclone and then flicker was amazing up until nearly two weeks ago when I started dying more than I was levelling but I just need to feel like I'm actually moving forward rather than get somewhere and have it ripped away from me again.

    Please and thank you to all of you that help a fellow exile losing his sanity.

    Wanting a fun build I can farm simulacrum with, what can I run with a 20-ish exalt budget?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 07:12 PM PDT

    So basically title. I've farmed up a few builds and all of them just didn't have the tankiness for something such as simulacrums or some of the other end game content like Sirus.

    A few things I don't want to run for various reasons, mostly that I've had my fill of them or don't like the playstyle:

    1) Summoner
    2) Totem
    3) Cyclone
    4) Brands

    I'd really appreciate a build with good defenses, so I was looking at either Glad or Champion as potential options. Is glad/champ wander a build that people do? Thanks in advance y'all.

    Finally settled on a build that will bring me my first level 100. Ice Nova CoC.. What I am failing at, is minmaxing it.

    Posted: 04 May 2020 06:46 PM PDT

    So obviously, my tree is an absolute garbage mess, and I don't quite remember where I was going with it.

    Every ounce of currency I get, will be going straight into this build, Currently I have roughly 10 ex, and 15 if I can sell stuff.

    https://pastebin.com/pgzWCU5E

    My issue is obviously basically everything, items, tree and links (there seems to be so many different types of links)

    Ideally, while this will be my level 100 character, i'd prefer if it can do all content at a non sluggish pace, So using that 10 ex, what would be most most beneficial first upgrades? and beyond that, what are my link options.

    I do also have this. https://i.gyazo.com/a3f88f669128d7bbe44411199a0420cc.png

    Not sure if it's better than the mark of shaper I currently have.

    Also, giving my current gear and budget, would I just be better getting 100 using any other build? It's either this, golems or zombies

    Hello guys,

    I'm currently playing a low life guardian ethereal knives herald abuser. Now I want to switch to CI just to get that extra tankyness by avoiding chaos damage.
    Now my question: How many "reduced mana reserved" jewels do i need, if i have a shield with RMR and the chest? (lets assume i have 3 small clusters with the less reservation on purities)

    Would really appriciate the help!

    Lone Messenger HoT ignite autobomber Scion

    Posted: 04 May 2020 10:07 PM PDT

    https://pastebin.com/2TWwK6FS

    Note: use the community fork of PoB

    Inspired by this post a few weeks ago using Stormfire to ignite with HoT, Storm's Gift to always shock enemies on death to autobomb, Lone Messenger + Arcane Cloak with minor mana stacking to pump up the damage: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/fymbc1/lone_messenger_ignite_autobomber/

    My changes are:

    • Pathfinder for Writhing Jar sustain for phased bosses, long fights, etc.
    • Necro + Rumi's + minor tree investment for high attack block and ok spell block
    • Add with above a sprinkle of evasion from gear and an admittedly sketchy source of blind from Disorienting Display for pretty high attack avoidance
    • MoM for more eHP, but more importantly replace Perfect Agony with The Agnostic for sweet life recovery
    • Stack a few Lasting Impressions clusters, Crown of the Inward Eye, Circle of Regret for more damage
    • Supercharge cluster for what seems to be ~20% more damage for this HoT that cannot crit! Even for non-Herald builds this seems like a sleeper node for any non-crit Archmage builds.
    • Add a magic Amethyst (no Atziri's Promise for a useless free skin transfer for me) and +2 min endurance charge shield for some level of chaos and phys mitigation

    What do you think? I don't expect to be breezing through juiced delirious T16s or anything, but I'd hope to run standard T15/16s comfortably. Never fought Sirus, but I can swap to a HoP + spider Guardian if I get to that point.

    Help for Puncture Bow Gladiator

    Posted: 04 May 2020 05:58 AM PDT

    Hello Guys,

    First post on reddit so please be gentle ;)

    I'm seeking some help for my Gladiator Puncture Bow Build.

    I've used as a base ZiggyD's build. But I'm currently stuck at lvl 90, and dying a lot in t15/16 maps. Tried to get some pieces here and there, and helped me reach A4 and my first Sirus attempt (which I failed miserably).

    I have some equipments that I know need replacement (like my amulet) but don't have the budget to find a suitable one yet.

    I'm mostly questioning the usage of Frenzy on this build and seeking something to replace that, but nothing has come into my mind so far.

    Here is my pastbin :

    Herald Stacking Help

    Posted: 04 May 2020 08:03 PM PDT

    So I caved and decided to try this 'herald stacking' thing everyone was talking about. It's pretty insane. I haven't spent an insane amount but idk I feel like I spent enough to do simulacrums.

    I can't kill Kosis though. He consistently one shots me.

    To be perfectly honesty I really don't know what I'm doing. This is my second league but it's so fucking annoying because I made this build to kill him. It was literally the main reason I made it. And I still can't do it lmao, someone help me please. I'd really appreciate it.

    Next steps for herald stacking?

    Posted: 04 May 2020 03:39 PM PDT

    New to PoE this season, and just started on my herald stacking build after making a decent amount of ex with some other builds. Hit 90 with it yesterday and the build is starting to come up to par with my other builds damage wise. Was wondering what my next steps are with my build to hit the super late game fights without any issues.

    My current plan is to temporarily unallocate my ES notables on my large thread of hope so I can fit in another Endbringer + Purposeful jewel, and allocate them back as I hit up to lvl 94. Will also be replacing my gems with higher lvl ones, and the melee physical with an elemental damage one (PoB shows that would give me a good dps boost)

    Is there anything else I'm missing besides better %1 reserved jewels and lower passive voices?

    (Herald Stacker Guardian) Got Awakened Fork drop, switch from Arc to Spark? (and advice on transition)

    Posted: 04 May 2020 07:07 PM PDT

    Current POB

    As per title I got an awakened fork drop and have been playing around with it and the clear speed is just insane while only changing two gems and one jewel from Arc. Normally with Arc it takes so long to clear the screen and so I get huge FPS drops on my high-end rig in Sim and juiced maps. Spark also has the huge QoL of killing all stragglers which greatly increases clear speed/monsters killed.

    I've played a lot of Arc in the past and know it quite well, but not so much spark and was hoping to get some guidance. I've referred to poe.ninja/builds but there seem to be a lot of differences which I am not familiar with.

    • What are generally the best gem setups, including gem swaps for single target situations (as this is the place arc is definitely superior)?
    • As per my PoB, would now even be a good time to switch to Spark or do I require better gear/is it better on an ascendant?
    • As majority of herald stackers on poe.ninja are going Arc, is it superior and there are some investments I can make to Arc to reach a similar result? (and on a side note, what about EK?)

    My character is probably close to 100ex in value and I have another 40ex to spend, as my end of league-goal is to get a HH for the first time and with some investment spark may help me get there faster

    Any other input from any herald stackers out there in regards to any other beneficial changes is much appreciated, as well as any literature on this!
