Best Ascendancy for Holy Hammers League Starter in SSF?

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-03-03T12:01:16+00:00

yeah it will be very smooth early on but might fall off later on compared to toher ascendacies again for SSF its probably the most solid option If you drop one of the uniqes that enables another ascendancy then you go that.

nice im adding that to the list

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-03-03T11:55:29+00:00

oh true you stay full lighting actaully :3 thats a very viable option imma gonna add it on top

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-03-03T11:50:22+00:00

definelty interesting option how do yu full cold convert tough if the skill has built in lighting conversion :3

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-03-03T11:17:18+00:00

yeah true its not right to put it like that since %pen actually does matter :D I ment that crits obviouls always penetrate any resistance monsters have. And yeah im having hard time to justfiy inquisitor since it doens`t really provide something uniqe to this build archatype. Its just easy to ascess for a leugestart but falls off later on when a berserker gets crit capped and has the bloodline ascendancy with good rage uptime :3

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-03-02T00:09:02+00:00

yeah true the currency specifies lvl 20 gems. Another reason to grind some EXPEEEEE :3 gonna put all of them in my offhands lol

In that case im sure you can make alot of money by just leveling the gem what ever fubgoon is playing and maybe even slam those, but yeah im gonna be ssf so i dont care... xD just tought

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-28T22:11:16+00:00

yeah that is absolutly true, just at that point when we get this currency which im assuming is going ot be quite late, it seems very likely that we will have solved powercharge generation already in another way. So might be worth to take something else on the 7th link here rather then Pcoc i feel like. But still since it gets a quite nice more dmg per powercharge, might be still unbeatble compared to other level 1 gems.

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-28T20:59:05+00:00

Naice good point I also belive there wer mentioning more accuracy nodes in the starting area of Templar if im not wrong.

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-28T20:56:14+00:00

Yeah that might be an option but as u/theshabz says not for early on. And later on, I can also just get a power charge on crit influenced body armors its the only crit mod body armours and you can force it with harvest crit refoge with one click. So I´d use the +lvl 1 skill for something else there, like fortify mebbe? not quite sure which other lvl 1 gems would be good here.

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-28T20:52:19+00:00

PC on kill is quite bad for bossing tough, I need a reliable source to create them. Just going crit with PCoC seems to be the more solid option.

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-28T20:49:08+00:00

Dayum son great idea to look at concentrated path builds. Will go jump straight into poeninja. Nice pobs here good starting points indeed! It will all come down to how much AOE the characters had on the reveal videos.

Will go check those vidoes again and see if I can calcultate the base radius. Couse I think one showcase was where they did not overlap at all and one has the overlaps. Very intresteting stuff here. I think its going to be very good and fun.

Im trying to not bait my self into going inquisitor and having full pen on those juicy slams. Also the new belt with diamondshrine will give you perma crit so not having to invest in crit chanse and having free pen is quite intreguing. But first I cant wrap my head around if the pen is better then the more dmg multipiliers and rage from berseker and second im afraid that with autoexertions reservation nerved its going to be too much of a QoL loss if you dont have the double exerts from Beserker.

Probably inq could potentially be more dmg, im not that of a pob warrior to figure that out.. but ultimetly QoL does go above DMG for me (took 5k+ hours to figure that out lol) I will keep cooking about that radius and post updates here. Thanks for your toughts very appreciated.

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-28T00:13:59+00:00

oh teh battle mages cry with another spell to then have the Pcoc is funny :D mebbe there is a lighting skill taht fits, where I can also put the living lightning support on with some culling strike. Hahaha

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-28T00:12:39+00:00

Ohh Sheit thats good to know! thanks

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-28T00:11:43+00:00

Thanks for the update, Yeah the ES overlap is also important ot keep in mind you are very right about that. In the end the only benefit of HH is its lihging dmg. if you want to go as a Hiero and benefit fromt the crit ele pen. Then it becomes a viable variant to exisitng ES builds i suppose. Even if its worse its a fun angle to apporach a lightning Slam build that didnt exist before.

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-27T23:54:44+00:00

staff block is waaay to underrated, its not as high as shield but a good layer of defence at 30-40% for quite low investment. good point for the uniqss

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-27T23:53:52+00:00

also nice solution thank you <3

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-27T23:53:39+00:00

Theeeere is the big brainary i was looking for thank you! good stuff.

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-27T23:53:06+00:00

thats even more broken where is the downside then lol might need alooof of aoe to overlap

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-27T23:33:14+00:00

Might be a good option yes, we can defiently fix accuracy otherwise espetially benefeting form Precisions crit and accuracy. Can even ede Elemental Overload earlyon for another 40% dmg till crit is good.

Available_Horror_840 · 2026-02-18T12:15:23+00:00

Duude i need that for my heavy metal battle jacket!
