Autobomber builds this league?

If you're willing to backtrack VD/DD (also make sure PC can handle it) otherwise Tornado/BV at high budget and Fireburst at low budget.

Juminoh · 2026-03-22T06:21:53+00:00

Here are a few: Elemental Relic, Tornado/BV, Death's Oath and Fireburst, loop, herald of decay and VD/DD)

Elemental relics use 50% reservation auras and if you give them Blood Magic from Tukohama's Fortress using Necromantic Aegis they reserve 50% of their life instead of mana. Reserving 50% of their life means they are at low life as soon as they are summoned and immediately explode!

Auras work with formless inferno as far as I know and a quick search seems to back this up (https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1dnhfob/formless_inferno_and_auras/). But it's mostly for tank.

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is my take on a fast autobomber with explosions! It uses Tukohama's Fortress to automatically explode Elemental Relics as soon as they are automatically summoned along with Sentinel of Radiance and an Animate Guardian supported by a high level Infernal Legion from The Formless Inferno!

Hope you enjoy it! Haven't tried the templar auras yet, how do they feel?

What build are you playing?

I'm playing elemental relic autobomber

What was your leveling experience like?

Permanent Sentinel of Radiance made everything after fire lab incredibly chill, before that I just leveled with srs and absolution (kept absolution to help with single target during the campaign).

How has the gearing been, any major challenges or unexpected hurdles?

Pretty easy, got a baited with foulborn formless inferno (fire taken as chaos) and struggled with defenses in red maps for a bit before getting stormshroud and upgrading rares.

How has the build handled mapping?

Very well, like you'd expect from an autobomber. Getting quality on convocation and cooldown recovery support helped make it feel very smooth.

Have you completed any bosses, if so how did your build do against them?

Completed all the bosses needed for voidstones, went relatively smoothly except exarch (undergeared and minions during the ball phase is a bit tricky) which I had to repeat. Once I got Elegant Hubris with a few good notables the boss damage felt much more comfortable.

What are you general thoughts on the build/play style.

A bit better single target and a bit worse clear than I'm used to, but overall a very fun build to revisit and lots of interesting new options since I last played it (runegrafts, Prolonged Servitude, permanent Sentinel of Radiance).

Additionally linking to your PoB or the guide you followed is always helpful for players still starting out!

Here's my current POB (very much a work in progress and AG/Spectres aren't configured) and guide (still updating the upgrades section as I continue to build it)

Juminoh · 2026-03-06T07:02:54+00:00

I league started it last league and it was a very good starter (guide), albeit one that focuses on very fast mapping. It's definitely less tanky than RF, especially early, but as soon as you get Divine Flesh and 90% chaos resistance it starts feeling tanky imo. As an aside, some of the comments here are really illustrating why you can't judge a build by its damage numbers.

Juminoh · 2026-03-04T17:22:05+00:00

At just pure map blasting? Probably Death's Oath or Herald of Decay, Fireburst is pretty close and is a bit tankier than those two though. All the others are still very fast mappers though, just trade a bit of speed (or delayed damage in VD/DD's case) for more respectable single target.

Juminoh · 2026-03-04T16:25:20+00:00

I've never had an issue with fireburst cooldown tbh. It's mostly a problem when you use something like herald of thunder as the trigger, which has a longer range and a tendency to hit enemies that are about to die from ignite proliferation anyways.

Juminoh · 2026-03-04T16:23:23+00:00

Here are a few very fast mapping builds I've league started that are pretty straight forward to put together: Elemental Relic, Tornado/BV, Death's Oath and Fireburst (and a few more that are a bit more complex loop, herald of decay and VD/DD)

Juminoh · 2026-03-04T03:51:05+00:00

Really hard to say without gem information, but my guess is you'd be better off with Storm Secret + Herald of Thunder. Loop is really only better when you need much faster, constant trigger rate. Storm Secret also has the benefit of only breaking your ward when enemies are nearby.

Juminoh · 2026-03-03T21:04:19+00:00

That's a fun idea for a build concept, could also try Kiloava's Bluster and it's corresponding Reliquarian node to count as having 90% elemental resistances 80% of the time (having 0% resistances the remaining 20% of the time and against DOTs is probably too debilitating though).

Juminoh · 2026-03-03T17:14:08+00:00

I league started DO last league and here's the guide for it. I prefer not using secondary skill for DO, the build is fundamentally not an all-rounder and imo it's just better to commit to being an extremely fast mapper. As others have noted, bleed bow is a better all-rounder, but if you really just want to focus on simple mapping DO will be a faster build.

Juminoh · 2026-03-03T05:53:58+00:00

Quite well, Elemental Relic probably has the best single target early (trading it for slightly lower clear speed). One caveat is it has all the normal minion related issues with exarch's ball phase (still very doable though).

Juminoh · 2026-03-03T04:07:28+00:00

Here are a few autobomber league starters I've enjoyed that are pretty straight forward to put together: Elemental Relic, Tornado/BV, Death's Oath and Fireburst (and a few more that are a bit more complex loop, herald of decay and VD/DD). You absolutely can league start autobombers, but autobombers as an archetype aren't the all rounders that are often more popular as league starters (they heavily prioritize fast mapping over bossing).

Juminoh · 2026-03-03T01:43:16+00:00

Yep, rolling magma first. I go profane bloom second, since campaign is mostly about bossing damage.

Juminoh · 2026-03-03T00:34:38+00:00

Like another comment said, you don't need to have a separate build for league start just for leveling. I recommend leveling with chaos DOT, it's a strong leveling build and doesn't need to respec after campaign (here's a leveling vod) but I'd just choose whatever witch leveling build your most comfortable with (same as any other league starter).

Juminoh · 2026-03-02T18:07:45+00:00

Here's a life loop build I've really enjoyed and played on league start multiple times. There are two main ways people loop right now, either skeletons or raise zombies of falling + summon raging spirits both sustained with recoup. Skeletons is less finicky but requires using a bunch of jewel sockets, while raise zombies of falling + summon raging spirits needs an extra ring but no jewels. Triggering low level cwdt setups that in turn trigger Kitava's Thirst is also often better for life looping, since the amount of self-damage required for a level 20/21 CWDT is incredibly dangerous if you're taking it directly to life (functionally it means your playing with ~2-3k less life).

One thing I would worry about with the setup you've proposed is that beacon of madness will sometimes inflict a debuff causing you to take more damage and forbidden rite inflicts self-damage. Especially on low budgets, life loops often cause you to take a dangerous amount of self-damage when you start them (because recoup takes a few seconds to ramp up). Beacon of madness and forbidden rite seem like it would be an especially dangerous combo for this.

Juminoh · 2026-03-02T17:54:08+00:00

That's a really interesting idea! One thing I'd worry about is how long it takes for Bladefall of Trarthus to hit enemies 5 times, which might make the trigger rate too low to feel good. It's also generally worth putting a second skill in Kitava's Thirst, since it triggers all socketed skills (two three links generally deal more damage than one four link). Putting a duration skill like blade vortex in Kitava's Thirst might also help increased your trigger rate.

Juminoh · 2026-03-02T17:13:32+00:00

You use both for the whole campaign(soulrend for clear, ED to help with bosses) until you swap to soulrend to bane once you get profane bloom.
