| Slayer Masterful Form Slam Build with 100% Fist of War uptime Posted: 01 Aug 2020 08:55 PM PDT PoB Link: https://pastebin.com/naKitauU Intro I've always wanted to build something around Slayer's Masterful Form node. I've had several ideas but they were all either very expensive (requiring badge of the brotherhood), or not very good. The 3.11 update removed all of the in-tree sources of 'reduced physical damage taken', but they have buffed Enduring Cry to have that effect that scales with endurance charges. Masterful Form lets us access high maximum endurance charge counts by investing into frenzy charges. They have also buffed the minimum charge nodes (Disciple of the Unyielding and Disciple of the Slaughter) to give 8% damage per endurance or frenzy charge respectively. This means with 7 frenzies and endurances, you get 112% increased damage! We get those nodes by using medium thread of hope near duelist. Pathing there manually is too expensive. The main idea for the build is to maintain 100% Fist of War. We are 'cheating' here, attacking every 1.8s is too slow. We can bypass that limitation by using two skills instead. This is the same trick that people used to use for Unleash support. The timeout is tied to the active skill and not Fist of War itself. In my build, I essentially have two 5 links instead of one 6 link. In the build above, you can see that in my 6-linked weapon, I have the following gems socketed.
With 0.9s attack time, you can alternate between the Earthquakes and every one of them will be ancestrally boosted. You can even swap the second earthquake for Earth Shatter if you want something different. Clear speed should essentially be the same. We are also utilizing impale for a huge damage boost. People say that impale is not as effective on slow attacking builds, but that is not true. It essentially doubles your damage. It also leads to some amusing moments. What often happens is your slam will leave the boss at low health, and your herald of purity minions will proc your impales to finish the boss off. The build linked above takes quite a lot of investment and is what I've ended up with after a lot of trial and error. I've used that build and killed Sirus 8 and Simulacrum 20 with ease. I'll list budget alternatives to those gears later, but first I'll explain the few sources of pain for the build. Issue 1: Frenzy Charge Generation There aren't many ways to generate frenzy charges as a Slayer. Here are ways to maintain frenzy charges.
For a long time I was just using Farrul's Fur, and yes that is pretty much the best unique chest you can get. However I am addicted to explody chest, and I've since changed to a self crafted body armour. Now I am using a combination of Blood Rage and Mob Mentality. Blood Rage is more than sufficient to maintain while mapping, and Mob Mentality is good enough for bossing. For bosses with phases like Sirus, you want a Redblade Banner shield on your weapon swap. During phase transitions, just weapon swap and spam warcries to maintain your charges. I hate that I have to do that, it is so annoying. If I ever get my hands on an explody weapon, I'll most likely revert to Farrul's. Issue 2 - Maximum Frenzy Charges Since this is still a slam build, you have to invest a lot of points in the marauder side of the tree. This makes it hard to get to the 3rd frenzy charge node near assassin. You will likely have to anoint it on your amulet. This is a shame because you will miss out on +1 curse or +1% maximum elemental resistance, but for DPS anointing the maximum frenzy charge is probably your best option. Still, after getting all in-tree frenzy charges, you will only have 6 maximum frenzy charges. Masterful Form will only give you 3 additional endurance charges. Is it even worth 2 ascendancy points? To make sure we get the most out of those ascendancy points, we will have to invest elsewhere. There are several options that you can go for.
Currently I am rolling 7 maximum frenzy charges. The only out of tree source of frenzy charge I have is the one from warlord's gloves. It rolled with culling strike, how can I not use those? It allowed me to unspec from bane of legends and get overwhelm to get some base critical strike chance. I wish masterful form came with an extra frenzy charge out of the bat, though. Issue 3 - Attack Speed With level 21 Fist of War, ideally you want to attack at most once every 0.88 seconds. Realistically though, your attack time can be as fast as 0.8 seconds. This is because you will not be attacking continuously, you will have to include your warcries in your rotation. This is my ideal rotation:
Most weapons are too fast for this, even with Pulverize you can easily breach 0.8s attack time. You have attack speed from frenzy charges after all. The best unique weapon for this build is indeed, Marohi Erqi. You get both slow attack speed (from local reduced attack speed), and a free Pulverize support. With all the charges, onslaught and blood rage, I have roughly 0.85 attack time. Minimum Requirements As stated, my build is not 'budget'. To do this style of build, you want to at least have these gears.
This is the bare minimum and you can clear sirus 8, the rest of your equipment should just be life, resistances and quality of life (avoid ailments, etc). When you accumulate currency, these should be your first upgrades.
Luxury upgrades like explody and +1 curse chest can come later. With additional curse, you can get a assassin's mark on hit ring. Budget Alternatives Marohi Erqi is too Expensive Go full elemental! I originally started this with a 6 link Debeon's Dirge, and it got me pretty far. The tree will look pretty much identical, without impale of course! I also tried brain rattler for a while, that is also a good option, but not as budget as debeon's. Panquetzalitzi seems like a good option too. If you go elemental, you can also use Surgebinders, corrupted with +1 frenzy. This shouldn't be too expensive. It was my what I used initially. I believe Kongor's Undying rage is a good alternative, but I've never tried it. It should be good for both physical and elemental (with ele overload). Farrul's Fur is too Expensive You can just use any other chest, but you will need a warcry cluster jewel with Mob Mentality. They aren't too expensive. They are not too hard to craft either. If you ever get a 'reforge with speed modifier' harvest craft, you are guaranteed either lead by example or mob mentality. Speed crafts are hard to come by though, and I'll just suggest you alteration spam for it. I hope you enjoy the build and give it a try!

| Sockets explained for the new person Posted: 01 Aug 2020 10:32 PM PDT So I have a quick question on gems/support gems and their sockets. Do they have to go in the same item?? I have seen you have to link them but don't no how to. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Looking to redo my Archer build. Posted: 01 Aug 2020 10:41 PM PDT Hey all. I've been out of the game for almost two years, but I started getting back into the game and am looking to redo my Archer build. My current level is 55 and I was going to focus on AoE and high evasion, but she is seriously underpowered even for enemies ten levels below mine. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations on what type of build I should pursue? Thanks. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Facetank Shaper Beam & 10m Sirus DPS on 100 ex, possible? Posted: 02 Aug 2020 03:46 AM PDT Hi guys, so I league started Scourge Arrow Pathfinder and completed 40 challenges with it. Decided to try fire BV assassin because everyone was gushing about how good it is. I've put the build together, and though the damage indeed is quite good, it's really not as tanky as I like. So, as per the title, can you recommend something tanky that can kill Sirus and Uber Elder under 2 mins with not horrible aoe? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Whats wrong with Poison Archer? Posted: 02 Aug 2020 03:31 AM PDT So I've started trying out something I've been wanting to do since like two years ago but never got around to it, a poison archer (haha I'll bet your surprised). But whenever I ask anyone if they have any suggestions, I am met with silence. Is there something I'm missing here? I'm just in act 6, still theorising and playing with gem combinations, but she seems to be going ok? Why is she not played very much? Also, if you have any suggestions, I'd be glad to hear =) Mainly living on Caustic arrow, and a combination of gems to give it more poison and either faster poison or more arrows depending on if its a fight against mobs or a boss [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Aug 2020 03:29 AM PDT Hi there. I'm a level 89 BV Chieftain but I seem to die a lot and can't get past 89. Could you please tell me what I need to improve on in my build? Thanks in advance. PoB is https://pastebin.com/e9jY9HTN [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 02 Aug 2020 02:50 AM PDT I have to finish crafting the belt and get a corrupted blood jewel. That aside, how do I make my build tankier? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Looking for a build against A8 Sirus oneshots Posted: 02 Aug 2020 02:42 AM PDT I'm tired of Sirus and his invisible Die Die beam from offscreen and my squishy necro with barely 5k hp just can't handle the fight so I decided to look for a tanky relatively budget build that can kill him but tank the laggy beams fairly easily. This league I already tried: - the aforementioned Necro build (Veritania spectres), basically all my currency is invested in this build - Path of Matth's Ball Lightning miner - Akane's Ball Lightning Ascendant I'm currently also farming for an Int stacker Assassin but I don't think that build will kill A8 Sirus [link] [comments]  | ||
| Soul Taker + Shroud of Lightness Posted: 01 Aug 2020 02:19 PM PDT Playing SSF and found these two. Is there any build you can think of to use both of these with? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Aug 2020 01:40 AM PDT I was looking at CI CoC Ice Nova builds on PoE Ninja and many people pick Mistwalker over Ambush and Assassinate. Since Elusive gives 15% increased attack speed, attack speed goes the over optimal attack speed cap which should result in a big dps loss. IIRC 14% cdr requires attack speed to be just below 7.57. Anyone know what's the deal here? Is Mistwalker picked solely for clear speed? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Ice Crash Two Handed axe/staff. Looking for tips and suggestion. TY! Posted: 02 Aug 2020 01:29 AM PDT Planning to either go Bersker, Inquisitor, or Jugg. Any personal recommendations folks? Thank yoU! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Hollow palm speed leveling - smite or consecrated path? Posted: 02 Aug 2020 01:20 AM PDT Tomorrow I'm speed leveling a character that will be an int stacker assassin wander. I already have hollow palm technique, all the leveling uniques, 7 league step, 2 great le heups, etc. I also happen to have two leveling large fire cluster jewels and four fire-BV assassin medium jewels (vast power/towering threat.) I already have all the int stacker gear available to me as well such as bottled faith, etc. I'm just trying to decide between smite and consecrated path. In delirium I leveled characters with smite. I haven't tried consecrated path. I'm leaning towards trying out consecrated path as my int stacking pathing takes me past avatar of fire so that'd help out consecrated path quite well. Although granted I wouldn't get a lot of dex that route and it may be better to just go down to the ranger side and grab a lot of dex & life nodes and just use regret orbs when it's time to transition to int stacking. The teleport consecrated path has also looks interesting. Is it good for leveling? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 12:40 PM PDT I really want to play a BV Chieftain. I am not really interested in the assassin version. Are there any good guides out there for this league? I feel like everyone is playing Assassin BV. Would love if someone can help me. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Slight Update on Channel Storm Build Posted: 01 Aug 2020 09:17 PM PDT So last month I made a post about my CwC Fire&Ice Storm build using cyclone. Well despite not being able to play much poe thanks dying computer I've managed to change a few things around so now the build works much better tho I've got more testing to do for later content. (Will add POB Link once comp is no longer dying lol) So I ended up swapping around the build to focus on buffing firestorm using a couple fire dmg buffing uniques and making a few shifts on the passive tree instead of trying to buff ice storm since it's main boost will come from INT which despite not getting a ton in this build puts it in a decent spot to proc freezing while doing decent dmg. Along with this switch I also put in vaal righteous fire to help with spell dmg output for bosses and so far the results have been incredibly strong. My main thing I'm left to figure out is what defensive and aura skills to run and what to cut out since I wont have any chest sockets to work with. Any advice you can offer would be helpful [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 03:18 PM PDT PoB: https://pastebin.com/1VGZxfUW So I like the idea of using mana to scale damage and I'm using Arc as a medium to do it. Currently, I'm doing 319k Shaper and I feel like I could be doing more. At level 80 I am not sure where I am going wrong, but I'm struggling at high tier yellows. I know my gear isn't 100% optimized and I am working on that, so I am mainly looking at the skill tree for assistance. I really like this character and wanna take it to the end. Because I am also using power charges to scale damage I felt like Void Battery was a great weapon. I could be wrong? Does multitotem do anything for Wave of Conviction? Is my gem selection optimized? Any input is valued. Thank you all for your help. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Need help with Animate Weapon Scion (Chains of Command) Posted: 01 Aug 2020 08:26 PM PDT I need suggestions on which ways to scale my damage and defenses. Mother's Embrace is probably the easiest item to swap out, but its really nice for just steamrolling through maps. I was looking at Elegant Hubris jewels for the minion damage, but I feel like that's more of a luxury item than a necessity. Also doing bosses like Sirus or Elder/Shaper are kind of difficult because I can't assemble my Army of Swords, so any suggestions to help out there would be nice as well. Running through T14-16 maps even without flask protection is pretty easy although Curses can be somewhat annoying. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Struggling real hard to enhance my TR build Posted: 01 Aug 2020 11:33 AM PDT Hi peeps, so I've been playing many builds since Blight, I love to discover but now I've defininetly found what I want to play and it's bow builds. Right now I'm still on my league starter Toxic Rain from Esoro's video and I'm having a real hard time to find what is my next move to enhance my char. Actually, it's something I've been struggling with forever. I never know where to invest even when I have a great bunch of money while trying to consider everything as I'm not an expert at late game content. If anyone could help it'd be greatly appreciated and I'm listening to every single feedback I can get from y'all. Here's my PoB : https://pastebin.com/ejNTRQ1m If you have any questions let me know.

| Can you help me make my Poison BV Assassin more tanky? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 05:33 PM PDT Hey all, So after trying like 7-8 builds this patch I finally found satisfaction with my BV Assassin. I just bought an explody chest and I feel the gear is in the right spot (need to fix the jewels actually), with 14M theoretical dps. I don't find myself dying too often but I feel like I have plateaued my progression at lvl 92, so I thought I would sacrifice some damage in order to get some defenses. However I suck at theorycrafting, and with what I had in mind I would lose 8M dps to gain 800life and Wind Dancer, which is a trade off I'm not sure is worthwhile. Here's the PoB, any ideas will be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Blade Builds and Ascendancies Inquiry Posted: 01 Aug 2020 02:40 PM PDT Hi all! Somewhat newer player here when it comes to further understanding builds and the choices that go into them, and I am looking to put together a blade skill char next (BV or bladefall plus blade blast). I have some questions going in: - Phys to X conversions - I see a lot of fire or cold conversions, and simply understand it to mainly be an increase in upgrade/budget options with higher defenses and damage. Is that accurate or are there other specific reasons to do so?
I have played a bunch of Sabo/Trickster builds that are LL or evasion based / high ES for defense, so I am thinking I may end up running a fire conversion, AoF / Glancing Blows chieftain to attempt to achieve max block and get a nice change of pace. I also run a bunch of different mine builds so self cast while feel fresh. BV vs Bladefall is kind of up in the air atm, might have to playtest each skill a bit and see what feels fun. Thanks for any input all! I'm away from my home and possibility to play any this weekend so I'm doing lots of browsing and questioning, haha. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Can you build anything with the Savior anymore? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 02:19 PM PDT Even though its pretty nerfed surely we can do something with this right? [link] [comments]  |
