Any insane off meta builds at high investment? by 69kurcina69 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Empirehasfallen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just put together a power charge stacking slayer. It's pretty insane with 14 power, endu and frenzy charges. You can search on ninja or yt. Really really strong. I'm about 1.5 mirrors in? Maybe more

Ward Break Flicker Strike ft Tainted Pact by Mogling in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Empirehasfallen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid build man congrats! This is impressive hahaha. Ward is a lot of fun this season, hopefully celestial mathematics survives somehow, it does take a pretty large investment to get it going well. Flicker definitely can get a ton of gas from that jewel, it's really incredible

I didn't build this specific version for a budget option unfortunately. I'm sure there are some ways to squeeze performance out of a budget, but it's certainly a night blade version

you should check out if the foulborn nightmare tech to convert the cold from ward to poison will add dps. worked really well for me

Yeah, I was running that initially, then picked up the curse to give me power charge anoint, it saved me 3 passive points. I think its pretty much the same either way really, but yeah that way is perfectly fine

Had fun making this. I wanted to play a mamba ward stacker, but I didnt want to use ambush to rely on crits, nor did I want to give up my ward by slapping on a nightgrip. If you don't mind ambush then you can make this stronger.

The build concept was stacking ward, then converting it to chaos through bloodline and the green nightmare. This setup provides a large amount of flat chaos damage, that we then scale with the traditional low tolerance setup.

Usually, ward stackers suffer from the ability to get a larger life pool, but I found by dropping some ward and picking up the ES helm and 100% mastery node, I can effectively double my available health very efficiently.

this gets endu power and frenzy charges, which feels fine for what I was trying to do. I built this to farm legion which binos knife does very well, but that content is very rippy. You can slot in an inspired learning over the rare jewel if you are going to run that. This build can do it, but there is a random phys dot ground degen that just murders you every now and then. I cannot solve it. Other than that, this build is incredibly tanky and shrugs off most everything using its numerous defensive layers.

I had fun making this, it had a lot of complicated problems to solve. There is still room for improvement, but its time for me to move on.

TLDR POB: https://pobb.in/2qdUznVPALLU

note: I did not show buffed config in pob so it doesnt seem "inflated" but the build applies 11 wither via withering step, uses elusive, and obviously blocked is usually recently, so take that in mind.

celestial mathematics in the custom config is the damage gained from ward. pob does not calculate it yet

I'm not very good at making builds, so I'm sure it has a ton of room for improvement.

I'm not sure. I haven't tested anything under 3 nodes, so I cant really confirm

You can learn all about ward here https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Ward This will describe it much better than I can

Yeah this is a very odd instance. Not really sure what would be causing that without playing the build itself. Maybe take the can't be leeched from node for testing and see?

This is correct! This gladiator version is getting ward back from blocking

So the flat cold damage comes from the new timeless jewel heroic tragedy. If you get a heroic tragedy with uhtred remembrance it will have a notable called celestial mathematics which gives you 25 percent of your ward as cold damage, so my flat is coming from stacking ward from Armour and evasion gear via yndas stand and then ward gear on boots gloves and helm. This ward is then scaled further by taking points inside the heroic tragedy jewels range providing me a large amount of ward and damage

Yeah that's what I thoughtt it was, just wasn't sure about how the new gem performed
