FYI this is not my build, just something I came across while browsing ninja

This guy has a max of 7 brands, triggering his Spark of the Nova about 4 times per second, for about 28 triggers per second when all brands are active (most of the time). His triggerbots double that, making it 56 triggers per second. Then, his brand recall is automated so that it is casted every second, which triggers his brands, which will be again doubled by his trigger bots.

I lost count eventually, but he is getting somewhere between 70 triggers per second, and even more because he has a SECOND brand recall on his wand, that is TRIGGERED when he casts skills, although at an 8 second cooldown (which will be reduced by all his modifiers to cooldown recovery rate). Since it is TRIGGERED, his triggerbots will double it as well, so what would be one trigger, will be double by his triggerbots, which will trigger all his 7 brands (two times).

This is insane, and I doubt I will ever have the currency and game knowledge to assemble a build of this level, but it would probably be one of my endgoals with PoE.

Edit: I only talked about the mechanics of his triggers, but if you decide to check his gear you will be just as impressed

Here's a very very basic TL;DW. Vid is only like 9 minutes for crafting section and has full details with timestamps for steps.

1. Make Elder influence base and alteration spam.
2. Isolate Flaring and Elder mod with 50/50 annul.
3. Isolate Hybrid phys, and % phys prefixes with Kishara's Ducat.
4. Essence Craft attack speed suffix and isolate with annul or Kishara. Or alter the Regex and put aside T1 attack speed bases if you want to save a few divines.
5. Craft Brinehook on Prefix bases and recombine with suffix bases to get Flaring + attack speed on one axe and Hybrid + Elder Mod on another. Or the other way around, doesn't matter, just make sure both suffixes are present.
6. Craft Brinehook on both axes and Recombine, pray for Flaring + Hybrid to recombine. Suffixes are just about guaranteed to recombo. If you hit it, you can bench craft % phys for 1200-1300 pdps axe with culling and it only will have cost 10-20div.
7. If you want god tier axe, repeat steps 5 and 6, but instead of Hybrid Phys, use % phys (Merciless, Tyrannical).
8. Now you have two axes
   1. Axe 1 - Flaring, Hybrid, Attack Speed, Elder Mod.
   2. Axe 2 - Flaring, % phys, Attack Speed, Elder mod.
9. Craft brinehook on both again to preserve suffixes and recombine. Pray you get the triple prefix recombo.
10. Final axe will have 1600+ pDPS and culling.

Wanted to try this build on elementalist: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1vy1yfj/329_coc_bodyswap_of_sacrifice_assassin_build_guide/ . Point is to explode herald of purity minions with bodyswap of sacrifice, since they are easier to keep up than zombies. For clearing: bodyswap kills a mob -> DD of chain reaction starts chaining from that corspe, so desecrate is not needed.

https://pobb.in/9vN-AB7tG77Z I spent <150d for everything but the flask. Added fire damage on sword is useful for mana leech. Cyclone also works but lancing steel is more consistent for single target damage. Mageblood version would use rhex talisman, ruby flask, arctic armor and probably swap tigers for the chill ascendancy for more tankiness if crit is capped.

A few days ago a user posted about how the new Craicic Talisman could be used to give a permanent 48% additional physical damage reduction. Since then I have made a couple improvements to this setup which allows you to increase this benefit to a permanent 56% instead of 48%.

Previous Post
https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1w1126q/craicic_talisman_slept_on/

Recap of previous post:

• Craicic Talisman gives 100% buff effect, meaning each crab barrier grants 4% add phys reduction
• Crab helmet/Vestigial implicit prevents you losing barriers if you have been hit recently
• Crab boots/Vestigial implicit limits the barrier loss to 5 per hit
• Crab body armour gives +5 maximum barriers
• In summary, 17 barriers with level 30 aspect, when hit you lose 5 bringing you to 12, you cannot lose more barriers for 4 seconds and by then you are back to 17 barriers. 12*4=48% add phys reduction

Tech improvements:

By using the "Runegraft of the Bound", we decrease the boots effect by 20%, which is actually a boost in power since it reduces the crab barrier loss from 5 to 4 (proven in game). Then, a volatile vaal orb can be used on the boots to decrease the barrier loss from 5 to 4, the runegraft then decreases this from 4 to 3.

(17-3)*4%=56% add phy reduction.

The volatile orb variant has not been tested (the cost to test is very high) however it is highly likely to work in practice.

The vestigial implicit on the boots DOES also decrease when using the runegraft (tested in game), so you can gain a permanent 52% reduction and then obtain a different pair of unique boots using the crab vestigial.

Overall, the cost remains high to use this tech in the core game. Hopefully there will be some additional enhancements to further improve the crab barrier aspect. It is close to being a good solid option.

EDIT: As a user points out, if you put the +5 max barriers vestigial implicit on stasis prism, then you can increase this to +10. This increases our total benefit to 76% permanent add phys reduction (with volatile boots) or 72% with just the runegraft.

Heyy,

i'm looking for a good to try out some conflict legion farming, as i've already done most farms and i also wanna test that one out.

I know that mamba is good, but i think other than legion only it's not that great, especially since dot cap can't melt ubers.
I'm also currently having a EK Ignite Explode Build, but that doesn't melt legion in a big enough area. Gotta run to the edge which slows down the use of conflict quite hard.
I've also seen a fireball build doing it, probably with pact of beidat, but i have 0 experience with that. So i don't know how good it really is.

So the requirements are basically: Must perform incredibly good on conflict legion and be able to kill ubers. (Not 1 shot, but i also don't want to fight 1-2 minute for each boss cause of the lack of single target dps.) Somewhat tanky at least, no glascanon.
Budget is between 1-2 mirrors. Have about 1,5mirror right now, but i could sell my old build for like 400-500d more.

(No minions or luminary. I hate minion playstyle and just being the "support" in poe)

Thanks!

I don't have a lot of time to play games, so I just sort of want to play through the story and enjoy some combat. I'll see how my playthrough goes, maybe I'll try some endgame stuff.

I tried looking up builds on YouTube but they all look like Vampire Survivors with extra steps. You run around the map with sunglasses on to reduce the likelihood of seizure. I'm cool with some AOE, but I would like to sleep sometime this week.

To compare to Diablo 2, a game I knew too much about 20+ years ago... I really enjoyed playing Berserker, Zealot Paladin, Bowzon, Martial Arts Assassin, and Bone Necro.

Does anyone have any resources for something like this? Even just some ideas and direction would be super helpful. Like key passives to unlock and I can fill in the gaps.

ETA: I'm new to PoE so I won't understand your mumbo jumbo terminology lol. I do have hundreds of hours into other ARPG's though like Diablo.

ETA 2: Slam it is! I appreciate everyone's input. Cheers!

With a friend we are doing a new character run using the POE Random Build Generator, and i have to work with a pathfinder using ice spear as main DPS skill. I know it will probably be shit overall, but i want to marry at best the strengths of the pathfinder and ice spear. Maybe some poison shenaningans?

I have some ideas, but i'd be glad to hear more propositions of combos and items !

TYSM.

Farmed my first mageblood ever, not sure how to identify the key upgrades I need to make to improve my build. Most improvements seem pretty expensive and I am not sure which ones to target first as I continue to farm. My ES in particular seems pretty low, but the items that seem to provide the most ES in the build examples don't even seem to exist in the league.
Mostly just looking for advice on what order to improve things and with what, I have about 10 divines now but am also looking at what to farm for.

Warning: Not a build guide. Build is cooked. (Literally - around 18 meters, the banners started breaking and Bannerman notable doesn't work half the time now)

Hello all, I just wanted to share my final PoB for 3.29. I've been playing bannerman and absolutely loving it. I played corrupting cry a few leagues ago and been looking for something to scratch that corrupted blood AoE itch.

This build started out as a regular Bloodsoaked banner build but I kinda wanted to see just how far I could push it. I've never reached level 100 or gotten even a third of this dps so this was an incredible league for me. I'm extremely happy with it.

In the attached screenshot you can see the border of my banner. The center is on Johan offscreen.

Anywho I hope you guys enjoy. Just wanted to share since it's my first 100.

P.s. for reference I believe the screen is about 8 meters so we're pretty deep past that.

I am dying 3-4 times on maps while farming strongboxes on city square in t16.5, i have recoup, regen and on block life, if i am not dead then am always full hp.

ninja: Builds - Beyzabir - Path of Exile 1 - poe.ninja

pobbin: Level 97 Animate Guardian of Smiting Luminary [3.29]

mercenary link: https://pobb.in/al7QHwSsf_Bs

not running: -max res, less recovery, no regen, flask effect

the things that usually kills me: map bosses, volatile cores, some rare and unique monsters from boxes, mercenary's, and ice nova(just chunks like 13k hp)

looking for ways to solve the issue, and also any other tips for build and merc also appreciated

SOLVED: i changed to a more tanky animated guardian and not dying anymore, thank you everyone it is really nice getting this much help.

Well, I played PoE2 as soon as the beta opened, but due to life circumstances, I no longer have my PC. However, I do have a PS5 and want to get the Platinum trophy for PoE1 before playing PoE2 in December when the 1.0 version launches.

Since the experience will be different—playing with a controller instead of mouse and keyboard—I’d like to know if you have any recommendations for strong builds that are viable for the endgame, handle well on a controller, and are fun to play.

I mostly just see recommendations for RF Juggernaut, but that didn't look all that fun to me, so I'm looking for other options.

Looking for some advice on when/how to transition to a str stacker version using replica alberon's?

https://pobb.in/pRuWdiRyy6E7

What is a good bossing merc for health stack / flame link merc that is not 100div combatant. My luminary is pretty good, and my manyshot can clear everything but it's not deleting bosses in 5 seconds and I just want to murder Velka for the stupid challenge.

https://pobb.in/s83V_wMuals2

Quickly to explain what is going on in this build:

Replica Badge of the Brotherhood provides Max Fortification equal to current Endurance Charges, but at the cost of losing Endurance Charges when you gain Fortification. Also it makes your max End. Charges equal to your max Frenzy Charges

The downside of Replica BotB can be counteracted with Champions Ascendancy notable "Fortitude", because it just treats us as being always at max fortification, which completely bypasses the entire fortification gain process.

This means if we can manage to be at max endurance charges (in our case 13), which we gain off Replica Farruls Fur, we gain 13 max Fortify.

In 3.29, we also got the ability to sacrifice unique armour to transfer a key stat to a random pair of uniques. Darkray Vectors in particular as a sacrifice will give the newly created vestigial unique the Implicit "+1 to maximum Frenzy Charges". This means we can stack an additional Frenzy (and endurance) Charge while wearing something else than Darkray Vectors...

Cue our second Build-around: Beacon of Madness (the Armour/Evasion version)

While wearing this variant of Beacon of Madness, whenever we Embrace Madness (therefore gain Glorious Madness), we gain:
- 20% Chance to deal Double Damage
- +15 to max Fortification

However, while we are affected by Glorious Madness, we will gain one of four random "Touched" debuffs (which you might know from doing Simulacrum) every 2 seconds. These debuffs stack up to 10 each, and reset their duration each time they gain a stack. The Touched Debuffs are as follows:

- Eroding Touch: 6% inc damage taken per stack
- Paralyzing Touch: 6% reduced action speed per stack
- Diluting Touch: 9% reduced Flask Effect and Flask Charges gained per stack
- Wasting Touch: 9% reduced Life & ES recovery per stack

These debuffs are extremely severe and must be mitigated. While Paralyzing Touch can be counteracted with an Animate Guardian which wears Garb of the Ephemeral (which we make as tanky as possible), the other debuffs can only be reasonably mitigated with Debuff Expiration Rate

There is a post regarding breakpoints for expiration rate here on reddit, but cut it short, since we are locked into Replica BotB & Replica Farrul's Fur, we cannot use Stasis Prison/Warped Timepiece to reach the expiration rate breakpoints.

So we settle on breaking the 150% breakpoint as follows:

73% - 20/23 Temporal Rift supported by a LEVEL 6 Enhance (or Level 4 Enhance + Level 3 Eclipse)
(this is why we need a +1 to socketed Gems corruption on either gloves or body)
20% - Arakaali Pantheon
30% - Runegraft of the Warp
15% - Small Ascendancy Notable on Delirium Bloodline
15% - Window of Opportunity

= 153% Debuff Expiration Rate

Now for our damage, we use a Squire + 11l Sword (since I do not want to deal with Mana costs and did not want to recombine double influenced bases, I went for Shaper only)

Since we are already stacking Frenzy Charges, Ice bite and the Horror Essence mod on rings give us the flat damage we scale off of. In our case, we picked up a sexy precursor's emblem (which also gives us 26% Block Chance with Kalandra's Touch)

For gloves, we abuse Hands of the High Templar Vestigial crafting to get giga 5 Implicit +2 Frenzy 2x Elevated Gloves. (man those were FUN to craft, literally my magnum opus), however if you want to recreate this build, you can also go for Celestial Brace (with +1 frenzy, that would be 69 Fortify XD)

Other sources of frenzy charges we got:
- Grace Sublime Vision
- Masterful Form Forbidden Flesh/Flame
- 3x Notables off Passive Tree

Another option, if you manage to have infinite time and currency is somehow managing to get 6 Redeemer Items onto the build (Redeemer Mageblood/Belt + Squire, 2x +1 Frenzy Redeemer Rings, Shaper+Redeemer Sword, Redeemer Warlord Blizzard Crown) to enable a 6 mod Bound by Destiny but at that point, you could just go for +2 Precursors instead... but one can dream...

I am doing a poe roulette build challenge and got Scion/Reliquarian holy flame totem of ire with challenge to beat uber elder.

Right now I'm dying a fair amount in T14 maps, so I don't think I'm even close to being able to take on that challenge.

Looking for suggestions to improve damage and greatly improve defense.

Current character pob.in link:

https://pobb.in/SNblhZs0Trlr

my kineticist is around 200 fire res with max chaos res should I drop chaos res to push fire res higher never try with low chaos res will it often die

I started my league with a KF Totems build (great clear) and then moved on to a PB Herald Stacker (great clear), but both builds fall short in killing tough bosses in Deli runs or in Simulacrum. I can only get to about level 12 in Simulacrum with either build. Just can't kill the bosses fast enough.

I have about 1000 Divs to play with, and for my last build of this league I would like something that's a much better bosser, but doesn't involve piano keys. I'm cool with a one or two button build.

Not a minion enjoyer either. Basically something "not" similar to Pohx RF build (which I actually enjoy for clearing as well). I also tried Luminary/Merc but didn't enjoy having to gear two characters at once.

Also, I'm still kind of a noob, so I would need a full guide off Moba or Maxx. I can also use POBs, but would need some hand holding through the campaign.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

I wanted to allocate divine shield for my BV assassin. However, problem is that my armour comes from flasks (13k armour) and apparently divine shield activates on every new instance before mageblood flask effect takes place. Therefore, I start every new map with ~1.3k ES. Additionally, since I use Shavronne's revelation, I cannot regen or recharge the the ES so only way of gaining full ES is then to leech or block to gain it back. Practically, I would have to take shavronnes revelation off in beginning of every map to allow ES to recharge. Is there something what can be done or should I just play withous divine shield?

Character: Builds - Keskiolut - Path of Exile 1 - poe.ninja

What should I play?

Over the few leagues I've played my favorite became FROSS. I love the cats, feeling, Ci, and eventually tankiness.

Witch is my favorite. Ive Played penance, DO, EdC, HROC, RF.

Ive also played slams, RF and, CWS on Cheif.

I have 20 divs, but I could still use my DO occultist to farm more.

Edit- Luminary or str stacker looks fun.

I'd never played CWS builds before so I looked into them this league. I get the best is Emiracles CWS Chieftan - everything on that build makes sense. Glad is the second choice because of the lucky block.

But looking back I found an old 3.23 CWS necro with cremation of exhuming using black zenith and was wondering if anyone has any wacky/meme ideas for the CWS concept. I'm in the meme building phase now so it can be a flawed idea as long as it sounds fun.

My own thoughts was using tainted pact and divine flesh so you're immune to elemental/chaos dot while leeching, but generating leech instances long enough is the first problem I came across.

Anyone got any off-meta interactions that could work with CWS?
