    My Character - Lightning Tendrils Occultist, Level 95

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 11:23 AM PDT

    hi

    path of exile is a fun game, isn't it

    ultimatum is my first real league (i've played some poe before, but never got as far as finishing the campaign until ultimatum).

    for this league, i wanted to play some kind of lightning-spell-based character. and i wanted to be a witch again, because the witch is my favorite.

    skip ahead 2 months later, with 1270 deaths across a playtime of 13 days, 22 hours, 37 minutes, 12 seconds.

    i am now a level 95 Occultist and i am still using the same main skill gem that i was using at level 2 - Lightning Tendrils.

    i chose this skill partly because it's the skill that makes POB give the biggest number and partly because someone made a youtube video "Zapping with Palpatine's Tendrils ( Not Hentai )" that made it look cool.

    i don't really have much else to compare it to, so i can't really say too much about how it plays in comparison with whatever the "meta" is. i will at least state my priorities in as far as how i was deciding between different build options. 1. big AoE (currently 185%). 2. zoom zoom. 3. not getting one shot. 4. damage. in that order.

    i mostly want to just share what i've created with everyone. it's nowhere near perfect, but i've come a long way from the poor sap who was confused how elemental overload could possibly be more damage than divine judgment when divine judgment is 50% elemental damage and elemental overload is only 40% elemental damage.

    i would also appreciate any build advice.

    finally, some open questions: how can i get 10 times my current damage output, on a budget, without sacrificing any survivability? are the expensive crit multi jewels worth the exalts? more broadly, what "big money" items should I aim to acquire towards the end-end-endgame (e.g. watcher's eye, unnatural instinct, bottled faith)? right now i'm using just rares (not counting unique jewels); are there any uniques worth considering? will anyone even read this? how can i improve my flask set-up? why do ele reflect map mods exist? at what point do i "win"?

    League Start/SSF Boss Killers?

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 01:19 AM PDT

    I'm looking for a solid build I can use at the start of every (or most) leagues that has consistency in getting to the end game. Something that can kill Conquerors, Shaper/Elder Guardians, scaling to kill most (or all?) of the end game, but not needing any rare or expensive uniques to get started. Preferably on the tanky side, I'm okay sacrificing clear speed for survivability on bosses, as long as it doesn't feel like a chore to level to 90~. No particular preference in life or ES, spells or attacks, I just want something with consistency and some safety :)

    Brand Ambassador.

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 03:41 AM PDT

    My second league so far.

    Wanted to build my own char to challenge a friend who's heavily into guides. Spent quite some time in POB instead (and dying) to help and find out what items were needed to outlevel him.

    Last challenges are Elder and Sirus at awakening lvl8 and Hall of legends (die at 75%). Basic ultimatums are quite a pain because of the lack of manouvreing space before the brand damage kicks in. Random deaths are caused by T16 +x00 critical/damage maps, likely due to lack of life/energy so I still need to find a solution for that.

    Curious to know if I did good or could have done this faster/easier? All gear (6L incl) was looted/crafted/cheap so it would be possible to redo in SSF (with a lot less deaths).

    Basic stats T15 Beachhead clearing

    Currently, I've got around 60ex. I've got a near perfect bottled faith. And a 40ex coc indigon pathfinder. I'm bored. What should i build with my current budget? Could i go for an aura stacker?

    Ascendancies for BF/BB

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 02:21 AM PDT

    As a person who have exclusively played melee in the past but wants to try out some casters I have some questions. What makes Raider so great? Wouldn't Hierophant be more well rounded? Also what are the pros and cons of Elementalist/Inquisitor/Chieftain?

    Any budget VLS Hateforge setup?

    Posted: 21 Jun 2021 02:13 AM PDT

    I just want to overkill everything with skeleton of that build like it suppposed to, not overkill everything 10 times over like people who invest into that build try to achieve. I don't have resources for 80+ Exalts gear in every piece of equipment like insane ammy, claw, etc. etc.

    Anyone have PoB with bare minimum I need? I got gloves, have about 50 more EX to spare.

    Other Guy's Request was made for a necromancer assassin. Here is the imgur link for those with only web browsers and here is the PoB for those interested https://pastebin.com/jY57YxTs

    It's about 3 million damage per second if the stars align but I thought it would be a good start for folks who weren't too familiar with Path of Exile and wanted to experiment with an easy to manage summoner build without the hassle of any minions dying.

    Looking for a 10-15ex

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 07:01 PM PDT

    Took break mid league and just rolling back around to playing for end of league.

    Can anyone recommend a minion build for 10-15 ex that can do T16's? Or is that not possible with that kind of budget?

    I've only ever played golems in the past, so not sure how other minions play (if they are similar?)

    Even with cluster jewels, ED/C damage still sucks ass?

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 10:05 PM PDT

    I'm looking for a build to make one last time before the league ends and I might do Zizran's ED/C trickster build but I heard damage sucks a lot of ass especially vs bosses. Even with cluster jewels is sucks? The reason why I want to make an ed/c build is cause I want to be super tanky plus I want to do all map mods instead of rolling the maps then seeing mods I might not be able to do like reflect. I don't want to do TR Raider cause I heard it's fake tanky (people say its tanky but it's not).

    How can I improve my Ice Nova CoC Elementalist?

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 10:34 AM PDT

    Hi, its my first time creating a cold coc build and I followed bozlak's guide to do it. I mainly run maps or heists with a bit of bossing (shaper farming mainly).

    ES
    My survival is a bit of an issue - with 5330 ES I end up dying to one-shots every few maps. Sometimes I notice my ES dropping to 10% and then I regen back up. Is there any way to improve this?

    DPS
    My damage seems cool, like I can run headfirst into a multiple harbinger pack and kill them all instantly. Ultimatums are easy but if some weird mods stack up then I get one-shot. I have dual curses (frostbite and assassin's mark) and I have double curse enchant on my amulet. Noticed a huge jump in DPS the moment I added assmark.

    Stuns
    Stuns are a major issue so in thy pantheon I ended up going with Brine King. I don't have a corrupted blood jewel (is it needed?) so I used Ralakesh for bleed reduction. I have staunching on my flask. I use hotkeys to keep all flasks up all the time during combat.

    Attack rate
    Someone told me to fix my attack speed so now counting my gloves and cinder flask I have a total of 7.53 attack rate along with 20% CDR on my belt, apparently that matches one of the breakpoints so I hope I'm good.

    My POB is at https://pastebin.com/tNTHcuT9 and my toon is level 91. I know I have crappy gear but I'm willing to save up to buy better stuff.

    Any help is appreciated, either for defense or offence. Normally I don't ask for help but since this is an advanced build I figured you guys may know it much better than me and give me some good pointers. Thanks!

    Edit: My toon is ChillzCutie. I have 75% attack block and 58% spell block. The guide author has more spell block but idk how he managed to get it.

    Looking for Build Guides for LeagueStart Builds(Forum or Video) and recommendations ^^

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 10:39 AM PDT

    In the coming weeks I want to try out some league starters. I play SC Trade.

    I would like to hear recommendations of builds for "concepts" I list below and guides for more specific builds.

    The first few builds I had in mind were:

    Saboteur (or other?) Miner

    I thought about Glacial Cascade, but I am open for others ^^ This was mainly for trying out bossing, but with a skill that still has good clear (e.g. AoE of GC). I've also seen a freezing Arc-Mines Elementalist, but I'm not sure about that.

    Looking for Guides AND Skill recommendations

    Cold DoT Occultist

    This one is pretty much open... I know there is Cold Slinger, Vortex, Cold Snap and also Creeping Frost. I have not seen much of this, but I heard it's a very solid LS, being not the fastest bosskiller but tanky af. Also thought Occ explosions are nice for clear, tho I don't know if you take it with cold dot as they deal chaos damage....

    I would love to hear which variant of this can do what/ pros cons of those. I just thought this would be a nice build to do all content. (being mapping and bossing, even if not excelling at either)

    Looking for Guides AND Skill recommendations

    Bane Occultist

    I just recently saw a video for this one with voidsphere and looked pretty interesting. I dont really like the playstyle of ED/C, so this seems like a good alternative. I mean Chaos damage with explosions? I'm in xD
    I heard that, like most chaos dots, this scales very well into red maps, but endgame damage is lacking without goooood investment. I was planning on keeping the first character to do all content, so not switching to a new build at day 3-5 xD

    Looking for Guides (if there are skill alternatives, they are also welcome)

    BV or other Occultist

    I've seen Occultists everywhere in Ritual, running self curse with HH, mostly BV. As self curse is pretty much dead and I have not had a HH before, are there any other viable builds? It's all about those explosions xD How does Deaths Oath feel?

    Looking for recommendations

    Stormbrand Assassin (or Inq?)

    I would take Fyregrass' guide for this, tho I would like to hear what investment it takes to do T16 Mapping and Bossing (pretty much the guardian invitations). If I remember correctly, for mappin you should get an Inpulsa. I just dont know if it is "viable" for me, as you need clusters, inpulsa etc. to comfortably swap to Storm Brand and I don't know how long it would take me to have that budget on LS. For reference, I had 10ex on day 7, with a 3ex lucky drop this league...

    Just looking for tips or info on this one.

    Freezing Puls / Ice Spear Totems

    If I don't like mines, this would probably be the go to for bossing. I haven't played totems before, but it seems very interesting. Guess mapping is good if you have enough placement speed.

    Looking for Guides AND tips

    Elementalist builds

    I have no idea what there is here, but I'd love to try some elementalist builds. I'm not a fan on minions tho, so no Golementalists. Golems for utility or sustain etc are okay, but I wont play a Minioin build. The go to in Ultimatum was (I think) Burning Arrow, but we all know how that went in terms of gear-cost xD Id like to hear ideas for builds which are good mappers but dont suck at bossing xD Conquerors have to be doable in max. 3 portals.

    Looking for Guides AND Skill recommendations

    Corrupting Fever Spellslinging Gladiator

    Saw this on Zizarans channel and mapping with the bleed pops looked really fun, tho he mentioned it sucked at bossing. The bossing part bothers me, as I would love to to conqs and guardians early...

    If you have any guide or at least LS viable PoB that does not suck that much at bosses, pls share ^^

    Looking for Guide or PoBs

    Leaguestarting a wander?

    Wanders always look insane for mapping, tho they really suck at bosses without huge investment. Is it possible to leaguestart a wander? I'm not talking about Int stacking tho... I wont have the currency to get it to endgame xD

    ​

    ​

    Other Builds I have guides/PoBs for and have tried / will try:

    Poison BF BB Spellslinger Assassin -- tried it, Poison is easy LS and spellslinger makes BFBB insanely comfortable for me

    Poison BV -- LSed it in Harvest and Heist

    Lancing/Shattering Steel Champion -- tried it only to ~lvl70, It's strong, especially with just a terminus est, but I dont know if I like the early mapping... Acts are insane tho

    Toxic Rain -- LSed it this league as Raider, insanely fun, but wont do it again for the coming leagues, played it a bit too much

    ​

    Other Builds/recommendations are also welcome ^^

    ​

    Attention: I know it is dumb to look for LS now, as we dont have any clue about the next league and patch notes. This all goes with the assumption that these builds dont get nerfed/dumped.

    Ranger / Raider leveling into flicker

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 01:43 PM PDT

    Hello

    ​

    I think I figured out my leveling strat into maps after i finish malachai..that being terminus + 4link flicker with multistrike.

    What is most seamless leveling before lvl 50? I know that CA/TR is reliable effortless leveling, but never tried it with zero investment from tree into DoTs..

    My tree will be pushed towards swords, crit, phys dmg..

    I am not sure what is better..some frostblades, molten strike, doublestrike? or CA/TR with no increases from tree?

    EQ with only 1 warcry, Spectral Shield Throw, Bladestorm or Lacerate? Best league starter to push red maps and be able to handle conquerors ? Any other max block builds are appreciated

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 11:02 AM PDT

    First things first: You can do EQ bleed with a staff and that should net you around 50-60 attack block (and thus spell block because of the ascendancy) depending on how much you want to invest and then have rumi's. The thing is that I hate spamming warcries so often and i would only use one (dunno which tbh) on left click.

    Lacerate i know is viable, so i'm more interested in spectral shield throw and the newly buffed bladestorm. I can't really wrap my head around them because of crimson dance although i understand why it is taken with these 2 builds.

    Now my question is, can bladestorm or sst handle the transition from yellow to red maps with let's say about 1-3 ex investment ?

    Also, i'd give a try to other builds which can reach over 50% block but with better damage. In ultimatum i did a max block crimson dance bleed cyclone glad with corrupting fever and a cane of kulemak with about 500 pdps and a 80-85% to phys over time modifier and it was so underwhelming... Yeah, i made it nearly immortal (ailment and stun immune) but the damage was so bad.. No issues in ultimatums due to bleedsplosions helping but a huge ramp time on bosses and overall lackluster damage but i guess that's to be expected (no crit, not much added phys but i had vulnerability and poacher's mark on rings).

    The gauntlet proved to me that EQ bleed is ok damage. Guess i should take a look at reap or exsanguinate.

    Build Suggestions for 100ex in standard?

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 02:22 PM PDT

    TLDR: Done with Ult, switching back to standard and have approx. 100 exalts to play with (and possibly more if some things sell). Looking for build suggestions to (finally!) climb to 100.

    Hey again everybody. Second post in two days (and second ever, for that matter). But, after somewhat bricking my gloves in Ult (see here—I tried suffix cannot be changed and annul, and of course, knocked off the T1 ES but left minion damage), I decided I was ready to be done with Ult. Accomplished most of what I wanted this league (Maven, A8 Sirus, UE, and all bosses required for the Feared—although I screwed up the actual feared fight), so happy to be stopping there.

    Anyway, decided to switch back to Standard for a bit. I've currently got around raw 100ex to play with, plus quite of bit of stuff that could sell. I've got lvl 97 Assassin and Templar characters, plus lvl 94 Raider and Champion characters from previous leagues (just to maps Scion and Witch also). What would be a fun and powerful build that I could afford for around 100ex in the absurd Standard market? Looking for something reasonably fast and tanky to finally take a character to lvl 100.

    I like CoC cyclone builds for their mobility, but obviously melee has drawbacks when it comes to some boss fights and most of them aren't the tankiest. With my Templar, I've done ball lightning and frost nova Hieros. Considering going back with the ball lightning Hiero because it can swap between a relatively fast mapper (sire of shards) and super bosser (pledge of hands) with one click. But wanted to see what other options might be out there. Any suggestions?

    Thinking of switching to facebreaker Cyclone from bladestorm bleed

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 07:38 AM PDT

    so right now I am currently a blade bladestorm gladiatorhttps://pastebin.com/AsvMQE4Y

    and I am thinking about switching to Facebreaker Cyclone.. I made a half assed POB with just the 6 link and not the full proper setup https://pastebin.com/HdW6UXM3

    but..from, what I can glean I gain alot more DPS and cut my effective hp of 270K down to 120K while still have 5.3k hp

    I just want any thoughts or tips or piece of advice..or slight adjustments I can make to my cyclone setup to get alot more juice out of it.

    Bladestorm feels kind of clunky and its a pain to constantly have to hit corrupted blood and reposition and I know I would enjoy something more mindlessly easy like cyclone

    Also what range of killcount do I need on lethal pride for the crit multi in nearby notables?

    How to finish this league

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 07:30 AM PDT

    This league was really weird for me and I could not focus on any character so I made a lot of them:

    BL Hiero: https://pastebin.com/U4pbqLtx

    FB Ele: https://pastebin.com/PsifSmdR

    Necro: https://pastebin.com/FqmhDZAP

    Raider: https://pastebin.com/YXLnbqks

    I have few more but these seems to be the best developed ones. I was wondering how can I improve any of them to do content like feared and maven. I think BL hiero has the best potential but somehow I miss damage on him, tankynes is almost there as I can do Sirus A8 without much of the problem but it takes some time. I also like the speed of raider but his dps is quite bad for normal t16s.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Looking to improve max-block facebreaker cyclone damage

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 12:27 PM PDT

    Hi all, looking for some advice :)

    ​

    Followed Esoro's guide and I feel I hit a "wall".

    Degens are deadly, but as I understood that's to be expected. What bothers me mostly is my damage, having issues doing A8 Sirus.

    My PoB: https://pastebin.com/3dTFjT4Y (not really sure about Configuration)

    ​

    Got around 25ex to spend for the moment and this will be most probably my sink for the league.

    ​

    Was thinking of getting a Ryslatha's, awakened gems, getting additional curse on chest with assassins on ring.

    I'm looking for suggestions regarding upgrade order, maybe different gem setups, alternate quality gems?

    I'd be interested in 2 things: increasing my damage and if possible getting better vs degen.
