Wintertide Trickster – My Self-Imposed Challenge –League Start to A8 Sirus Journey Posted: 05 Jul 2020 06:17 PM PDT My first build guide by a noob, for noobs…I'll call it Tingstodo's Tings Not to Do: TLDR at the bottom Character Sheet and Inventory, Sirus: https://imgur.com/a/rqVbTE7 POB: https://pastebin.com/kh37L7ri Context: I am a relatively new player, really making my first attempt to play PoE near the tail end of Metamorph. I played a ton in delirium thanks to Covid, and learned a ton. It took me like 8 characters total to get to A8 Sirus. I hit a wall, scrapped my build or char and sold everything, and then….hit another wall, repeat. After doing so many failed builds that got stuck in random places because I didn't know how to grow them, I decided NO MORE. I decided to challenge myself. Challenge: I am to get A8 Sirus with my league starter. It's that simple. I didn't want to get to maps and restart. I didn't want to get to my atlas and restart. On top of that, I didn't want to do any tried and true builds. Max block gladiator, spectres would have taken me to the same place with less struggle, but I wanted to be a shitty Mathil and follow my own path. I wanted to use a new skill and build around it. Why Wintertide Brand Trickster?: I loved my archmage storm brand trickster in 3.10. A lowlife build, like myself, worked very well and I did pretty much all content outside of delve (no interest), betrayal (didn't know how to work it), and 100% Delirium T16s. Brands, to me, felt like minions with smarter AI. I also love the idea of a mega tanky caster/wizard, and that's what I thought Trickster would give me with the new glancing blows keystone. Trickster I think is a fantastic caster ascendency with a ton of quality of life thanks to Patient Reaper and easy access to elusive. Fantastic sustain on paper, good defenses, mobile ascendency. What's not to like? I also followed RaizQTs build on paper, that pathed from the top right of the skill tree all the way to glancing blows. He ended up not doing wintertide for his league start, but I was determined. The Leveling Process: Get wintertide on completion of A1. That's it. Build around it as you would with any DoT be it vortex or cold snap, bane, etc. Controlled destruction, efficacy, swift afflication all very solid. The Growing Pains: Around A8-A10 the damage falls off. I realized Wintertide alone would not sustain me well, and I'd have to incorporate other skills. As I invested heavily into cold already, it makes sense to use other cold spells. While it is not as meta as occultist, cold dot trickster with cold snap / vortex is most definitely a thing, and one of RaizQTs builds in the Delirium China race for HCSSF. Incorporating vortex is easy as you can place it on your left mouse button…when you move, you cast it. Cold snap is great for bossing and big packs, as you can cast the vaal alternative. A Ton of Pain: Around yellow / red maps I prematurely transitioned into CI around 4k ES. With glancing blows I was tanky, but I died a ton. I was awkwardly re-figuring out how to not only progress my atlas and do the watchstone dance, but also how to progress my character as I felt damage was severely lacking…using three skills. I was still on a 5L on my wintertide, my ES was far too low, baited myself into using Wicked Ward, it was a nightmare. I invested a ton into defenses rather than offenses, to die a little bit slower and to do far less damage. I got to t15/16s incrementally upgrading my gear, using probably no more than a 40c wand or shield or something like that. It was 100% budget. At this point, wintertide brand didn't feel good and I was already a little burned out of it. I rerolled into SSF doing spectres but I wasn't feeling it…I knew I needed to go back to my challenge. Guardians took 3-5 minutes. Conquerors went down a tad bit faster. It was not good. Max Pain: I started selling off "for sure" items for currency. I played around with my build, bought a ton of regret orbs and completely went away from glancing blows. I was around level 90 at the time, and invested a ton of points into damage rather than defenses. I was dying a ton anyways, I figured why not? Well, it worked. I started to buy better wands. I got my supports all to 20/20. My character was dying a ton, but felt more like a character as boss kills felt like a matter of when and not what if. My ES was around 6k or so, which isn't bad for CI but its not great by any means. I was permanently level 90. Hardstuck, honestly. Yesterday I tuned into TarkeCat's stream and he mentioned that he wanted to maybe do wintertide, had a pathing tree in mind, etc. I showed him my PoB, and…he didn't like it. He showed me his, and sent it to me. WOW. A world of difference. Being a dirty threads of hope abuser (yes multiple), my damage stayed the same, cast speed went up (huge for wintertide), and my ES shot to 7.4k! Thank you, /u/TarkeCat. You allowed me to progress to level 91, level 92, and finally 93. The End: My two A8 Sirus attempts have not been good…one at 50% (after he regens health), and one at <1% health. I got robbed. While I killed A7 Sirus, A8 barely escaped. I am near my goal, but my build, pob, level will all remain similar likely. Where can I take this build, now?:To the grave. At this point I could transition into lowlife, readjusting my tree to give me reduced mana reservation to allow me to socket malevolence, haste, and hatred (iirc) into a prism guardian, equip Shavs, presence of chayula and go Lowlife. That would be an insane damage boost at a cost of around 10ex at this point in the league. I'd lose chaos damage immunity and my ES would drop by about 1 – 1.5k, at something like the boost of 2x damage. But I'll be honest, I stopped enjoying the build and the challenge around the time it took me 3-5 minutes to kill an elder guardian :) TLDR – Overall Thoughts: My take on the new and underused wintertide brand was not ideal. It can be a league start where you can get your footing, get an exalt or two and hop over to a better build. I had fun learning how to build around a new and definitely off meta skill. I had fun league starting with something far from ideal, and learning how to get to a point where my dps is on the borderline of being acceptable, and knowing that I can likely take down Shaper, Elder, maybe even Uber Elder with gear that is no more than 10ex at the league start. Knowing I got to t15/16 maps on a total cost of like 100c at the expense of my sanity is nice to know. After 849 deaths, multiple Sirus attempts, and a lot of exalts wasted on trying to craft a gg wand from a one affix wand…Wintertide Trickster is more than likely officially retired. What's next? DI Totem Trickster? Tectonic Slam Juggernaut with Generals Cry? Find out next time on Tingstodo's Tings Not To Do. At the end of the day while Im not happy with the league start and I learned my lesson and wont ever repeat this challenge again, its nice to know that I can see a build through to the end. Well, to the <1% :) [link] [comments] | ||

Posted: 05 Jul 2020 12:25 PM PDT Hi! Im kinda new to the game and my favorite build so far has been cyclone slayer which i played back in metamorph. Is cyclone slayer still strong or is there any similar builds that are similar? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 05 Jul 2020 10:39 PM PDT I'm currently playing a EQ gladiator and level 92 have completed most of the game, barely killing A5 sirus and currently working towards getting all the watchstones. I find myself being deleted or being set to less then 1000 hp by a lot of boss mechanics and even bosses regular attacks. I think my gear is pretty good setting me at 2mil bleed dps and capped resists but I die every other map or so and makes it hard to level at this point farming T14-16. I've tried molten shell and steel skin but now using enduring cry, fortify on leap slam, and immortal call. I'm not sure if I am just bad at the game or something is missing in my gear.

Posted: 05 Jul 2020 09:56 PM PDT Hey, I'm playing in GeforceNow so sometimes there is a latency problem. That why I'm looking for a tanky build. This my second build so, some guide will be really helpful. Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 05 Jul 2020 10:06 AM PDT Can someone help me figure out how to make one easily with harvest? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||

Posted: 06 Jul 2020 12:13 AM PDT So far this league ive played toxic rain trickster and BL miner saboteur. I'm probably playing the BL wrong, or have the wrong gear, but im ready for something different. They were fun for a bit but it got old getting randomly one shotting, or going into an incursion and getting blasted by the little tail guys from off screen at once as soon as i move, or decimated by quill beast packs. I'm looking for something thats all around good. decent clear, decent boss killing, and decent tankiness ( a smidge more emphasis on the tanky ). I wanted to try a slam build, but to me they just feel clunky and depend too heavily on crys, which just make it feel even more clunky to me. my budget is kinda meh, i got 2ex and ~1ex worth of chaos.

Posted: 06 Jul 2020 12:01 AM PDT Can someone take a look at my POB and give me any suggestion on the build? This is the first time I'm trying to make my own build using some POBs on poe.ninja as inspiration. I haven't put any equipment yet though, only the axe I'm working on and a Cluster Jewel I've made. So basically right now I'm looking for suggestions on the passive tree and some nodes/cluster/etc. :) Currently the POB is level 89. I'm not sure if I just should get more Life nodes or maybe change a bit the POB to get those Life nodes AND more bleed damage/duration on more cluster jewels. Also, considering that I'll probably be using at least 2 War Cries (Siesmic and Enduring). Is it worth it get the Warcry nodes I've selected and Call to Arms? I can finish the POB tomorrow after a bit more research on cluster jewels and war cry. [link] [comments] | ||
PSA: Vigilant strike + general's cry + the vigil works Posted: 05 Jul 2020 03:53 PM PDT It gives you 30 second fortify. Kind of a lot of gem sockets though. Good if you're using dash and don't want to use fortify in your links or if you're a caster with a "melee" weapon like a sceptre or a staff [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 05 Jul 2020 11:03 PM PDT I've been on the look out for a good self cast spell boss killer with decent-good clear for mapping. I've been lucky and have about 10ex or so to drop on it all in. I prefer self-cast since I've been doing minions and cold/chaos dot builds for leagues, and I want to do something more fun. Arc-Archmage-Unleash or Arc-Ignite seemed like it could be fun, but there's so many different variations on it over at poe.ninja that I don't know where to even start, so I thought I'd ask you knowledgeable folks here. Does anyone have any good recommendations? [link] [comments] | ||
Dying often T15+ BallLight Crit Posted: 05 Jul 2020 03:23 PM PDT I could use some help in defenses with this character. I'm finding that I die quite often in T15 and 16 maps, which wasn't something I had to deal with lastleague as a MoM BV character. I'm stuck at 91 when the last character was at 94 without any real effort. Any help on how to be tankier? I have some un-utilized sockets. I especially found that Baran mobs were straight-up deleting me off the map. [link] [comments] | ||
Question - Poison stacking from diff sources Posted: 05 Jul 2020 10:27 PM PDT Okay so heres the lack of understanding/question Im using blast rain to apply my wither stacks, when using blast rain since im applying poison on hit as well on top of my scourge arrow is the poison damage from blast rain being ADDED to my scourge arrow or is the SA poison damage essentially overwriting it? Im trying to look for an answer for this question because when I eventually 6L this thing I've debated on throwing deadly ailments on blast rain for even more poison dmg from it but if its being negated by SA I wont bother and just throw in something like faster attacks to apply wither faster. Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
Help preparing Sirus as chaos spellslinger Posted: 05 Jul 2020 10:25 PM PDT My current pob: pob : ED slinger + soulrend as brand + wither totem + contagion + discipline You can find TLDR down below Hi guys, so this is my 2nd league, last league I aslo got stucked by PF toxic rain under Sirus a4 and a5. This league I play shadow and intended to go toxic rain again, but somehow ended up with chaoslinger because it soo fun to run map. Anyway, I going to fight sirus a4 soon and I'm really worried that I gonna failed him again... Because as fighting boss spellslinger seem worse than toxic rain last league (where I also failed). TLDR: So I'm looking for a set up to kill him with my current char, or maybe you tell me Its time to switch toxic rain/ed self cast. I have 1 ex and few chaos left I also curious if I should
Thanks guys! [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 05 Jul 2020 02:52 PM PDT Looking to make a boss killer to go along with my clear speed build and wanted to re use my necro league starter, so what build is the best? [link] [comments] | ||

Help with spectre build survivability Posted: 05 Jul 2020 03:47 PM PDT Hello guys, I'm playing a spectre build following both Kay'sand Ghazzy's spectre guide. I'm having trouble with surviving in tier 14+ maps where I'm getting two shotted by monster packs while having many defense layers like high block chances, 5k+ hp, immortal call + CWDT, and steelskin. I know I'm missing two additional spectres from gear/gem, but there isn't a problem with clearing or killing bosses with 3 spectres right now. Please give me some tips/suggestions to improve my build's survivability. [link] [comments] |
