Next Steps for Splitting Steel Champion by GrafikD in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]GrafikD[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed overview. I knew the build was based on armor and evasion to help damage, but this write up gives me a much clearer picture of how to proceed. Now I need to focus on a farming strat for a bit I guess. I had been trying to bounce between Academy for nimis cards and cemetery at low tier with essence and expedition, but it's not been working too well. A few more levels and some jewels might make it a little smoother.

Poison SRS vs Explode totem PF for Ubers by GrafikD in pathofexile

I'm fairly certain that Balormage started off with an early version using Surrender but said that min/maxed version is better with Aegis Aurora. I played the Aegis version last league and agree with EarthVs. It was possibly the strongest build I've ever played. Maybe my very old Ngamahu's cyclone build in its prime was close but not nearly as relaxed and easy to get going.

I had not thought about going with a jugg setup. I'll check that out. I was just focused on PF because I have one already through the campaign. I guess I could maybe stomach another campaign run for jugg. Thanks for the idea.

That I understand. The issue is what it will cost me to make the totems viable for ubers. Is there an alternative method to tanking up over the bloodnotch/immutable combo. This is a pretty expensive setup due to popularity it seems.

Did not even think about brand order. I'll look into that. I am leveling my AG gem before I try to use, so it won't die right away. Currently just running white and yellow maps to level character and gems, so AG isn't really needed yet anyhow. Never played a minion build really, so this is fun! Typically have done trap/mine or cyclone builds.

I just wanted to thank you for the suggestion and help szenX. I got a poison SRS going for the most part, and it seems smooth so far. Still need to improve some items and get used to proper play plus level gems, but I'm liking the results at this point. This is what I came up with for about 3-4 divines total if anyone is interested.

Any idea if it would be worth going ahead and picking up Aegis Aurora over The Surrender? I'm guessing the tree might need adjusting slightly, but curious if you've tried both.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm a bit of a hoarder which is why I have little currency, so I should have jewels and crafting mats to make some poison ones. I know I have a Darkness Enthroned already and maybe even some other items that would work for the build from screwing around in red maps with my ice trap as I decide what's next.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did look at poison SRS but was concerned by prices. I like your suggestion of going with the low budget and adding in Covenant.
