    Storm Burst Inquisitor: Surprisingly good

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 07:00 AM PDT

    I hate channeling skills, but I thought I'd give Storm Burst a try since GGG pushed it so hard in the league trailer. As it turns out, it's not half bad. With a realistic configuration, I'm doing 3.5m DPS at full channel (takes maybe 2s to get going, unfortunately) and 4.9m with Righteous Fire up, and it's surprisingly easy to maintain channeling while Frostblinking around during boss fights. It's still a fairly halting play style, so those of you used to zooming through maps will probably not enjoy it. For someone like me who sort of slowly moseys anyway, it's not *that* big of an adjustment, but it's definitely still noticeable. Fortunately, I can take a Shaper slam to the face (as evidenced in the vid) and keep on ticking, so if you need to just sit and soak damage to clear a screen and/or a boss, you easily can. I put the character together on a budget of roughly 8 ex (not 6 as stated, on further review), so you can get good end-game performance on a relatively slim budget.

    Potential improvements or alternatives I can think of off the top of my head:

    Go staff block for more durability.

    Change rings and gems for a conversion set-up (originally my plan but lightning is just way more straightforward and can abuse Algor Mortis)

    Attach Vitality to Arrogance and add in Herald of Purity

    Divine Ire instead?

    Anyway, let me know what you think of the video and/or build! https://youtu.be/jojNHvuzxjk

    Straight Zombies in SSFHC (Non-Baron) (PoB inside)

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 02:18 AM PDT

    This is my backup plan for league start next league, if nothing new/buffed piques my interest, and if armour and evasion both somehow avoid the nerf hammer again.

    Zombies seem to have a very low representation on the SSFHC ladders, but it's pretty easy to get 1M+ damage on them with a ton of budget left over for tankiness.

    https://pobb.in/cvc3_fII0qxn

    1.2M DPS with the Determination/Grace/Defiance Banner trinity, 100% spell suppression, and 62/37 block.

    Any suggestions for improvements would be welcome!

    3.17 Glacial Hammer Concept and Assessment

    Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:40 PM PDT

    I was planning to league start Glacial Hammer, but after the threshold jewel nerf, I canned the idea. After completing 40/40 on my Hiltless Viper Strike and saving up some currency, I decided to revisit Glacial Hammer as a sort of late-league project. Here is my assessment for those with ideas of their own:

    Concept:

    Can I create a well rounded Glacial Hammer build without dedicating Melee Splash or Ancestral Call in the 6L setup?

    The build:

    https://pastebin.com/W1GCq2Bh

    Video Clips:

    Sirus (Last Phase)

    City Square Alch N' Go

    Frozen Cabins Alch N' Go

    Maven Invitation: The Atlas

    Core Features:

    1. Slayer with Frostbreath / Shield for a balance of damage and survivability.
    2. 4L Herald of Ice setup for AoE
      1. Herald of Ice, Increased Critical Strikes, Bonechill, Ice Bite
      2. I needed Circle of Fear for the reservation efficiency
    3. Hatred, Tempest Shield, Summon Skitterbots, Precision, Defiance Banner
    4. +2 Strike Gloves
    5. About 1.5M Shaper Guardian dps

    Pros:

    1. Able to clear basic endgame content with average speed
    2. Capable of doing most map mods
      1. Cannot do "no leech" map mod and "ailment reflect" altar mod (permanent freeze lol)
    3. Average survivability

    Cons:

    1. Setup not sufficient for full Autobomber awesomeness
    2. Needs tons of investment before it doesn't feel like complete shit
    3. Too squishy for Aspirational Content
    4. Could not fit in Determination

    Assessment:

    I would not recommend this build. For the investment, there are much better builds out there offering much smoother gameplay.

    While the 4L HoI setup didn't provide full pack clear with HoI explosions, it did sufficiently augment the total 3 Glacial Hammer strikes with enough explosions to provide decent clear. However, even the 4L setup required fairly significant investment which I'm not so sure was worth it in the end.

    I'm fairly happy with the attempt though. If anyone has thoughts or suggestions, I'm all ears.

    Edit: Future tests: 1. Swap Headsman out for Endless Hunger (and spec out of Stun Immunity and into corrupted blood immunity). 2. Get new boots

    Occultist Blade Vortex help

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 02:35 AM PDT

    Hi,

    Here's my Occ BV explodey HH thing : https://pastebin.com/PjivG0hQ (Zealotry is OFF, Determination is ON. Waiting for Enlighten 4)

    My damage is really good but I'm dying too much and I'm reallyyyyy slow. Anyone could give me some tips to get better survivability ? I can ditch some dps. My goal is to zoom zoom maps with a bit of juice (scarab, sextant, and deli 40%)

    Thanks :)

    Tanky all-content/bossing builds?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 08:50 AM PDT

    I'm currently still playing LS Raider: https://poe.ninja/pob/4r0

    But its obviously squishy as fuck and while migrating to block might actually help, I doubt it'll be cheaper than rerolling. Anyway since last thread I've managed to accumulate my 50ex. Right now I'm considering few builds:

    • Spark Inquisitor - not sure how good is it actually, I did some testing in STD with shit-gear etc and it didn't feel tanky actually, probably because no CI.
    • Gryph's Phan Cremation Necro - I'm pretty sure its supposed to be more expensive than 50ex and its many buttons apparently and me small brain, many buttons - bad.
    • Detonate Dead something? Last league there have been some DD builds that used Corpse Walk iirc, which made them mostly 1-button.
    • Fire Trap Inq - saw this just recently, but not sure how tanky is it really.
    • HOWA Flicker/LS - I have a feeling these builds are expensive as fuck
    • Ward CWDT something? I'm not sure how feasible it is to roll something like that on just 50ex, but its definitely something I want to play actually.
    • Farm up another 50ex

    Am I missing some builds in this list actually? Frankly I'd very much like to play Ward CWDT, but I'm pretty sure its like 300ex or something to build.

    Self-Cast Purifying Flame [Inquisitor - tanky, great clear, good dps]

    Posted: 01 Apr 2022 02:39 PM PDT

    Hi fellow Exiles,

    my goal for this League was to play at least real selfcast build. Tried Glaciel Cascade and Crackling Lance at first but wasnt happy with the tankyness (GC) or the clearspeed (CL). As my third attempt i tried Purifying Flame and fell in love with it.

    pros:

    - great clear, even without big investment into AoE

    - good scaling (through circle of anguish, crit, etc)

    - pretty consistent dps, no ramp up mechanics, ignores many map-mods

    - pretty tanky (in my case: 26k armour unbuffed - up to 55k with flasks + molten shell, 88 all ele res, 1.6k life & es regeneration, 6.5k life & 2.5 es; did feared without problem deathless at > 70 quantity)

    - can do all content with the gear i got (feared, simulacrum wave 30 etc)

    - my mates love the consecrated ground i spread with PF

    cons:

    - as zoomy as RF (but more dps & clearspeed)

    - spell echo felt bad until i reached 5 cast per sec

    - need to cast Zealotry every 20sec (but its the only thing you need to take care of)

    https://pastebin.com/bABH0usT (my current pob, tanky 20 mio dps with flasks up, 13.5 mio without flasks)

    https://pastebin.com/ZjpgX1p7 (more damage oriented, 43 mio with flasks, 24 mio without)

    https://pastebin.com/1U3HG2aC (a "budget" version, 4 mio without flasks, costs around 14 ex)

    Im happy to answer any questions you have got about the build. i do not claim to have the best attempt to PF and i still need to upgrade some thing ( like my boots, need onslaugh on boots etc). i crafted all rares myself so i can try to answer any question about crafting too ;)

    CoC FR upgrade path help

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 07:38 AM PDT

    As title suggests im looking for help on an upgrade path for my CoC FR as im quite stumped on what to do to improve it, wether thats tankiness or damage. I'd love to get a mageblood but i play on Standard and it's 1 Mirror and im currently at 115 ex.

    Managed to almost do Sim 30, but was left with 1 portal and failed at wave 30.

    Which class and build for wardloop

    Posted: 02 Apr 2022 07:32 AM PDT

    I want to play wardloop but am a bit overhelmed with the class and build option. Is there a build which is seen as a go to?

    I have a skele mage necromancer and 20-30 ex to work with. If necessary I could level a new char, but would prefer not to.

    Posted: 01 Apr 2022 10:42 PM PDT

    I've got max resists (and 59% chaos resist) as a cyclone build with solid armor and block plus a small bit of evasion, yet I still get one-shot relatively randomly - any idea what I might be doing wrong? I can send a link to the build I'm following if needed.

    Fastest cheapest to get started mapping build that can survive some hits in T16?

    Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:01 PM PDT

    So far this league I made a 20ex Skelly Mage that I'm bored with but did Sirus with one death and easily killed Shaper 7 times, RF Inquisitor that I didn't like/didn't feel good to me after 8-9ex investment so I sold most of the gear except for 3.8ex chest which I can sell for my next build, and currently playing Icestorm Scion from Kelvynn with one set of large cluster jewel but it feels slow at mapping. Hopefully I can find a build that I like and is zoom zoom enough for me with around 6-8ex to start.

    I saw Palsteron teleport like only 10 times to clear a map with his Lightning Warp Assassin build and it made me really want to make a true fast mapper. Now I realize that type of zoom zoom build would cost a left leg and right nut so I am not expecting low budget fast mapping build to go that fast but it would be nice to feel way faster at mapping than my builds I tried this league. I don't care if it can't do bosses at the guardian level or higher as long as it can kill any map bosses

    Help with Vortex Occultist

    Posted: 01 Apr 2022 02:42 PM PDT

    I need some help with my Vortex occultist. This was supposed to be my league starter but I don't have the time/effort/currency to switch into an endgame build yet so I'm trying to get this to it's best while saving up for maybe winter orb. I don't know what else to do right now.

    Ideas:

    1. Still need watcher's eye
    2. I should switch purity of elements for Zealotry, but I will need to change all my gear for more resists, and lose ailment immunity (ignites destroy me)
    3. Could use better boots
    4. Second medium cluster if I can get level 99.

    The build is pretty balanced right now in terms of DPS and tankiness, but I think if it was like 10% better I could do all the content I want. I feel like I've almost pushed its limits (far from perfect) in it's current form, but I'm sure there's some tweaks and functionality changes that can be made that I can't think of myself. Hopefully someone sees a clear issue or upgrade I could do to improve it a little. If it can be done for under 15ex even better. Thanks for the help in advance.

    edit: would switching to creeping frost be better?

    Looking for easy to access defense ideas for Divine Ire Occultist

    Posted: 01 Apr 2022 09:39 AM PDT

    Sup, been doing really well with my divine ire occultist this league. There is quite literally only one glaring issue I can feel while playing, which is my survivability. This mostly comes from how little life I have on gear, I think, but what gear I have seems pretty nice besides that. Any methods to manage to get life on my existing gear easily(been thinking of splitting gloves), or any such defensive ideas so I'm not so squishy?

    Looking for a goofy build made viable with headhunter to finish off the league

    Posted: 01 Apr 2022 10:24 AM PDT

    Ideally can comfortably do red maps and boss with a little effort. I'm not a fan of mines/traps and would rather not do another cyclone build (my previous build to farm the HH was gc/bf cyclone).

    Late to the league & need a build

    Posted: 01 Apr 2022 12:06 PM PDT

    I'm very late to the league this time around but only have time for one build on SC trade. I'm not looking for anything super crazy, just something that maps decently and can clear end-game bosses. Ideally something that maps faster than it clears bosses but I'm not expecting anything too insane on either. I've got 4ex to spend on things given to me from friends. My potential thoughts were:
    Corrupting Blood Champion
    Lightning strike pathfinder/beserker
    Spark Inquis
    RF Inquis
    EA ballista Elementalist(other ascendancies maybe?)

    If anyone could recommend which of those, or any other builds, would get the most out of a fresh start at this point in the league I would be very grateful.
