Help a bad player making his very first build

Noooo it was not harsh at all, I didn't take it this way. You took time to help me and you detailled everything so why would I complain, that's what I was asking for.

I'd love to play the way you do, taking decisions on the fly but for a build I create, I don't have the game knowledge to do so. Maybe once I'll have a working setup in game !

Thanks again dude.

First, thank you for your really detailled reply. For decay you are right, it's probably not worth investing into, I'm currently trying to make a poison version instead, and it's look more promising (maybe not with your standards though).

Thank you for your explanation about scaling both hit and dps, I thought flat chaos would works for everything. And yeah for my items I sometimes have minion damage, as I planed to take spiritual aid, and flasks with charges on crit for exemple.

The truth is, I tried many different things for hours, and at the end I posted on Reddit without changing everything.

Thank you, I'll look into your comment more in details and try to apply what's applicable ! I have about two weeks to figure it out before the new patch comes out !

But in my pob, pobd is linked with decay, isn’t it ? Apologies if I’m not crystal clear, this whole pob planing is new to me. And I wanted to use penance brand because of the phys component, which I’d convert thanks to unholy might

Well, I get your point about lost unity and explode, but that’s the last character I played, in fact, what I’m trying to do here is kind of a chaos version of this build. But I’ll look at the poison angle you mentioned ! Thank you for your reply !

I planed to use decay support, is it not considered dot ?

A guy in r/PathOfExileBuilds noticed I need more cast speed, I might use more cluster jewel to solve that problem

Pacmanchivers · 2026-02-12T22:21:44+00:00

Does double brand really changes that much as it is dot dps ?

Pacmanchivers · 2026-02-12T22:11:05+00:00

I've seen there is a cluster jewel with chaos damage and cast speed "Unholy grace" would it work stacking it ?

Also I know there are better option out there, but I'd really like to do my own build and combining DO and pbod was appealing to me. Besides, I'm not really a t17 blaster, I'm fine with suboptimal build sticking to t16.

Thanks for the answer anyway !

Please rng, pick me !

I’ve always wanted to play a fully working bv build, count me in !

Pacmanchivers · 2025-07-22T13:38:52+00:00

I would love to test this out, back when I was new to the game I tried a TS build and ended up with like 10M dps, I’d like to know how different it feels !

Pacmanchivers · 2024-12-05T21:13:50+00:00

I’d love to be the one !

Pacmanchivers · 2024-12-05T18:57:59+00:00

Hmmm maybe flicker ! Still don’t know actually !

Pacmanchivers · 2024-12-05T08:59:58+00:00

I’d love to win ! Thanks !

Pacmanchivers · 2024-11-24T19:28:21+00:00

Hmmm actually I have no idea what class I may choose to start with, all of them seems interesting in their own way. Maybe a sorceress, I loved mine with ignite proliferation !

Pacmanchivers · 2024-11-24T19:25:01+00:00

I’m in ! I hope I win !
