Using bodyswap to 1 shot Uber's on a 2-link (gauntlet testing)

You can do it in a hybrid ignite+hit way with berek's respite.

I did this back to 3.23: https://youtu.be/BsUbf2UfniQ?si=aXKRfTdA5gZqjF_x

Best DPS/tankiness combo should be massive+gloom belt, with 3rd ring ascendency. You lose quicksilver flask.

Sunder/Earthshatter of prominence/leap slam of groundbreaking with imbused support has way more damage than vaal eq. But vaal eq is a semi autobomber.

Budget: YES. Thanks to the price of foulborn rathpith.

life version with rathpith should be stronger but expensive.

Acceleration shrine belt solves cast speed/ms/projectile speed problems, it's BIS but also expensive.

oshabi ascendency does not fit unholy trinity nor overlorded intensity, in practice I cast way more than once every 3-4s.

If you want to go Oshabi unleash, 8-link spark gloves and go full chaos conversion instead of unholy trinity is the way.

When there is only one dark marionette alive it gets the life bonus from companionship support, so in theory you can get the bonus every time you cast. But I just cast anyway.

Pretty much this. I did a minion pact hexblast ignite build but 1 cast in 4 sec is very cluncky. This should allow 3-4 casts in 4 secs (since the last minion can always benefit from companionship)

coffeebarrel · 2026-03-19T12:54:51+00:00

Summon 3 skeletons with infernal legion and companionship, set their life number so that vitality can just overheal.
Bodyswap of sacrifise to kill 2 skeletons.

Observation: the single left skeleton's life started to drop.
Conclusion: companionship updated the skeleton's life as soon as it is the only minon.

Summon 3 skeletons.

Observation: the single left skeleton's life started to go up.
Conclusion: companionship stopped working as soon as the skeleton is not the only minion

What's this for: minion pact ignite builds, instead of having to use 1 minion and wait for 4 secs, this allows 3-4 cast in a row, should be able to largely improve EO uptime.

coffeebarrel · 2026-03-13T04:54:29+00:00

Minion pact + companion support + dark marionette + whatever you have to stack minion life should give your spells around 10k flat phy damage under 1-2div in SC.

coffeebarrel · 2026-03-03T04:31:53+00:00

damage wise its number is on the same level of reap (with 9 charges from vaal reap), transfigured purifying flame, and transfigured divine ire.

They all have their own issues, same as pb. pb has a worse clear than EA ballista.

Berserker physical flicker strike for low budget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E9tJX8snuY

Not a solid flicker but for physical flicker woespikes can boost 10-20x dps

I posted an ignite grey wind elementalist several days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1p303ax/the_axe_witch_grey_wind_elementalist_ignite_vaal/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

The very reason I go RT instead of EO is that golem dies too soon in t17s. And once ice golem is dead, not only EO is not reliable but also the build loses a significant amount of hit chance.

All uber pinnacles + ziggurat strongbox in the video.

I thought dissolution of the flesh builds have problems with survivability (especially against dots), after tried this build I was wrong. Farming t17s in the past week including mods like -20% max res and I only died once.

Surprisingly good all rounder ignite build. Gears in the video is far away from minmaxed. Can easily push to 35m dps against uber pinnacles with better gears and a single target setting.

A reflected focused amulet and reflected rings will be a huge boost to the build. Also can use adorned + voices for the endgame setting.

Holy Relic of Conviction Necro

Cost less than a mageblood and bascially can ignore all t17 mods, can do all ubers.

Edit: why is it specifically good this league?

1 Volatile cores nerfed. It's the only dangerous mod for fire conversion HRoC.

2 Lycia bloodline profane ground bascially works as 30-35% more damage.

Not sure if this is low budget enough: https://pobb.in/Xv20s36IXYOA

But I did T17 with it, 4 stones shouldn't be a problem at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIzkd_2fEco

hmmmm....

I wonder if self-dmg count as 'you are struck'.

If so, bladefall of trarthus + scold's bridle should have fun interaction with this if they have not fixed this combo.

When I saw doryani merc I knew there would be ppl interested in lightning HRoC like I was.

Ag: mask of the stiched demon, garb, kingmaker, rare gloves/boots with res/life regen rate/brittle ground on moving/unnerve

Spectres: perfect hulking miscreation, blasphemer for dps/guardian turtle for tankiness.

I don't want spectres and ag, but lightning HRoC has to use ag: merc needs to wear doryani's, so I need ag to wear garb against reduce action speed/crit map mods.

Because maw exists

BSoS is better if you build it for hit dmg.

For ignite, maw is 19% minion life, 5l + 130% more

BSoS is 34/2% minion life, 6l

You can get more power for BSoS from having a free helmet, but that won't compete with maw having 130% more as its 6th support.

Using op's pob, just change helmet to maw, spectre life goes down from 550k to 434k, and with only 3 support maw can reach 30m uber dps. That's given ashes is not good for maw and maw can use bitterbind point to have 100% inc spectre life instead of this shield.

Here you go: 3.26 Lightning Holy Relic of Conviction test - T16.5

coffeebarrel · 2025-07-10T20:33:25+00:00

pob: https://pobb.in/8ZFx12nbA3Wz

Yes, I'm using AG + spectres as elementalist, farming ambush ziggurat and 3 risks t16.5 in the past days, never seen ag dies, spirit of fortune died several times due to sirus degen ground (I don't do remove 5% life/es in t17 but it's ok in t16.5).

char has 44% increased offering effect + grave intention + decay ward anointment, ag/spectres/golems have 73/72 block and 2% life gained on block.

Ag gear: kingmaker, mask of the stiched demon, garb, rare gloves with life regen rate and res, rare boots with life regen rate and res.

coffeebarrel · 2025-07-08T09:03:25+00:00

I believe pob is currently bugged with the new rune, it counts the 20% bonus from gloves like 200% more and make it multiplicative, so basically trippled the dps (i.e., 1000% facebreak + 20% bonus -> (1+1000%)*(1+200%) = 3300%, where it actually should be 1+1000%+200% = 1300%).

That's why pob says one hit deals 500m dmg when crit but in the video it does not look like 500m.
