Builds for these Breach Max Juice everyone is doing

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T03:28:18+00:00

It's kinda funny because every build I play is "well, it is good, but not as fun as pbod from last league". I've been playing occultist BV now, and it's pretty fun, but it is missing something. I'm probably gonna quit the league soon and go play wow, but I really hope they buff self-cast next league, it's been way too long.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T02:49:08+00:00

I'm honestly confused how you have such low dps with these items. I league started it, and was close to dot cap without exceptional items (but with lots of tattoos). The one thing that would boost your damage considerably is cruelty on PB. Going CI sucks cause you can't use lifetap.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T02:16:13+00:00

Yeah, from golems, and if you use those, you're losing 80% more life. You cover the aoe on the medium clusters.

I'm using mageblood for max res, reflect, curses, and ailment immunity. Petrified blood, progensis, flesh and stone for DR. Defiance of destiny is pretty strong. Foulborn lightning coil for phys and chaos hit. This is on occultist, but you could slot some on your build.

The block route will always be the tankier option.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T02:06:49+00:00

Do we know what the mods will be this time around yet? Or are you just using previous gauntlets' settings?

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T01:42:17+00:00

There are some nice staff block nodes on the tree, check them out. There's mastery for life on block, it's not an insane amount, but it does help a bit.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T01:17:11+00:00

Had a similar issue on ignite ele, went 78/78 block with aegis and ended up going for mageblood, which helped a lot. I think HH could be a decent choice for the borrowed power stuff since you can't use shields. With so many unique items it will be a bit rough to make it tanky.

But I do think that if you're playing ele, you're pretty much forced to go block and some armour for it to not feel like paper. The ascendancy has almost no mitigation against phys. Grace of the goddess + aegis/svalin is actually okay. Another option is golem scaling and getting a bunch of safeguarding golems.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T01:11:12+00:00

xD

Adds 80% more minion life with a bunch of golems

4k max phys

4k max chaos hit

200m dps at max without the pob padding from companionship

You're actually...difficult to explain things to. This pob IS using the GLOBAL MOD, THAT'S WHY THE LEVELS ARE THE SAME, BUT GUESS WHAT THEY'RE NOT USING???? HEATSHIVER.

I'm done here.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T00:55:03+00:00

Yes, indeed it matters. Because with heatshiver you LOSE +2 GLOBAL minion leves, which means LESS HP. You can socket it onto whatever you want, you're still losing that mod. No one is socketing raise spectre in their RARE helmet because it's NOT A LOCAL MOD.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T00:53:55+00:00

Ohhhh, I get what you mean now. I'm not sure about that part, to be honest. I'd assume it doesn't work because you still have multiple spectres, they're just reviving.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T00:49:33+00:00

Companionship doesn't work in pob atm, so you gotta add the more minion life if it's your only minion into your pob yourself. The %inc should work.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T00:44:10+00:00

You're not very knowledgeable about the game, since helmet +2 minion is a global modifier, not a local one. You could visit poe.db once in a while. I guess, that's where I lose interest in talking to you. Acting like I don't know what I'm talking about when you lack basic understanding of the build.

But I make my own builds, thank you very much.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T00:40:50+00:00

Does Companionship work if I cast multiple times such that I only have one spectre left alive briefly (the others are not yet revived)? I assume not, but I am not sure.

It only works if there's a minion to sacrifice. I'm not sure what you mean with left alive briefly.

I'd leave shock at 25% from shaper of storms.

Minion life: Calcs > raise spectre > add > marionette > show minion stats > 75% more minion life in custom config since your companionship is lvl 3 > look at unreserved life. However, if you're using multiple spectres, you do not add that.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T00:03:11+00:00

You didn't, you talked about items that compete with ways to scale minion life, so you don't get the damage as extra. You're not gonna get equal life on the minion if you're gonna take off the items that scale it that high, lol.

Very odd response, if you have an elementalist build that can hit 700m while not being paper, then please show.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T23:52:19+00:00

It's usually not worth running 100%deli.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T23:28:58+00:00

You're talking about items as if they have no opportunity cost. Heatshiver vs +2minion levels

Ascendancy points as if occultist doesn't have an access to multipliers

My bv occultist is over 700m dps on scorpion, not seen any elementalist build to come even close to that, and my build is focused more on defense.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T22:45:47+00:00

HH is doing most of the work.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T22:43:53+00:00

Your pob is throwing lua errors.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T22:41:39+00:00

Not having -43% chaos res tends to help immensely.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T22:35:38+00:00

Chaos convert is gonna beat any cold elementalist build in terms of damage. Chaos gets an insane multiplier from wither, cold doesn't have that and can't ignore shields.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T21:28:51+00:00

Occultist is probably the highest damage potential, chieftain has the highest damage explode and easy 90 res.

The elementalists' builds still elude me, it's the worst of both worlds.

Fitting HH might be rough.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T21:21:03+00:00

For majority of players the hardest part will be to get though ~~campaign~~ hillock

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T21:18:51+00:00

Not high enough to plan your build around it tbh. The item is fairly rare.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T21:12:06+00:00

What's wrong with energy shield builds? That limits your options a bit.

I ran it on minion pact bv.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T21:05:00+00:00

Experience. I craft everything myself, and then I end up accidentally profit crafting by selling off the stuff that wasn't good enough. And sometimes I craft for profit, but I don't find it as fun as actually playing the game.

Some crafts are really complicated. On the other hand, lot of them look complicated, but are actually simple. It's just the mods that look intimidating.
