I'm excited to try out a build I "made" myself. I'm sure someone else has made this *exact* same build, but I like that I came up with a list of requirements:
  • Berserker(fuck you, I'm lazy and need the massive leech)
  • Vaal Pact
  • Frenzy charges without Blood Rage because feels bad with Vaal Pact
  • Wild Strike. Would have been full elemental sunder but I played that in Turmoil.
  • Kaom's Heart(fuck you, I'm lazy and need the massive HP)
Plugged that all into PoB with reasonable gear except the Kaom's Heart and got 1M single target DPS. Gonna be fun trying out a home brew and probably failing :rolleyes:

What kind of gear did you plug in to get 1m dps on wild strike? I haven't done it in PoB but i've played it several leagues and single target dps is always my issue.

I'm using an abyssus, so that might be a failing point. Let me get you the PoB string tomorrow, I just shut down my computer.

Ah yeah, abyssus gives a ton of damage to any fast attacking build based on phys. I usually use tri-ele swords, haven't ever bothered trying a phys based one out.

I have no idea how to scale this thing properly without getting it into action. I hope I get a tabula so I can really test it.

lower movement... well that fucks up my plans. not even sure what it means exactly.

1. is total distance always the same? early preview, I thought movement speed increases total potential distance. If total is always the same, and faster move, gets you to end point faster, then ok, good.
2. does the more damage scale to 100% max, or is it nothing "nothing, nothing. 100% more at max."
3. exactly how many hits per attack speed, lower movement? increased aoe, or conc effect?

The "lower movement" makes me consider pathfinder instead of raider. As there I can choose to not run quicksilver, to keep movement speed down.


Thinking Arctic armor and hatred atm. Anyone think I should go blasphemy+curse, and hatred, or dual heralds?


looking at reddit.
Charged Dash Calc

They do seem to think, max distance is set. so yeah, faster move, gets you to the end faster. reducing the hits per dash. but letting you dash more.
Clear breakpoints.

I wonder if you can break the skill with reduced movement speed on yourself?

Tuco Tuco and for other new players

This guy is a goofball and hard to listen to but he knows his shit bigly. I'd seriously recomend this vid if you're new to POE (45 mins)



edit: i'm still watching but wanted to say he does jump around a lot, but still all good info.

Thanks. Im going to take another look this weekend and try to pick a good FotM elementalist build and go from there.

I briefly logged in and saw I had some stuff still equipped but was dreadfully under-stat requirements to use the gear. The last time I played PoE borrowed a few items/gems, accrued a bunch of wealth and then gave everything of value away to the people who loaned me gear. I still have some currency though so hopefully I can buy some critical pieces and raise my stats enough to wear the gear nobody wanted before.

was it missing gear, or was it just that your passive tree was reset, and you lost all your passive stats?

I had to adjust a few items downward(6/6 desired affixes on rings and amulet probably isn't reasonable) and I didn't notice that PoB was using "legacy" flasks, so my dps wasn't as high as 1M. But, it turns out I can't math properly and the original number I was quoting you was just the elemental hit! Even with adjusted numbers, melee hit + elemental generates 2M dps! No abyssus lowers that to 1.3M.

stormburst took a hit.

Reddit is being super retarded about it. Skill is still op. just not blade flurry, or blade vortex op.
its like barrage and blade flurry had a spell baby.

Abyssus is amazing dude, if youre one shotting packs you can just swap it in for bosses. I used to keep a second gem set with IC and defensive setup in it and would swap it in to do Shaper etc.

That's part of the reason I wanted to wear a Kaom's. Abyssus and ~6k life didn't seem like a good idea.

The PoB tree, gearing, and skills is in the pastebin link. But I'm guessing your BFF is at work?

Passive Skill Tree - Path of Exile

If you take Alira for bandits, this requires level 92. It's a tad different than the PoB link in that it takes Born to Fight and Butchery, which are great for the melee hit but don't affect the elemental portion 100%. I don't take any of the 2 point jewel passives because I think it's really hard to find jewels that are worth two passive points. The remaining 8-10 passives would go into Frenetic and Blood Drinker or the aforementioned 2 point jewels.

He actually works on the floor below me, I am going to walk down now and check it out thanks dude. For jewels if you get a good 3 prop damage or 2 damage and one light they are usually worth it but it really depends.

League "starter build" videos from the pros are starting to drop.

Mathil is probably in top 5 of most knowledgeable players of the game. He's in the small group of players that establish the meta.



For new and returning after a long break folks i'd highly recommend using on of the pro's starter league builds to learn/relearn the game. I'd consider myself a casual+ vet and I use a pro starter build almost every single league before making a more expensive / advanced build.

Tuco Tuco the stormburst inquisitor (his last build) may be right down your alley.

^^^^^^^^^ Very good advice, Mathil is very versed in making builds with interesting item interactions.

Anyone else changing their minds 837287328 times over their starter build or is it just me ?)

After seeing the details on stormburst yea I'm definitely rethinking what I wanted to play for my first char.

Yeah I'm still not sure. I am thinking about going ahead with SRS as I haven't played it in a while, should be fine at the high end just levelling with it will suck a bit. If not that trickster ED or Scorching Ray, haven't messed with SR yet.
