Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

Nice Book of The New Sun reference.

Is it still possible to use a SRS tank build.
If so can somebody point me into the right direction.

Cheers!

Tried infernal blow, molten strike and frost blades with oni-goroshi. Well, almost anything works good enough, but playing as pathfinder was not the best choice. She dies too fast for my taste. Even with more hp than my previous scion. Maybe i need to invest in good flasks.

can you share your tree?

so no PoB this time. Only gut feeling

Besides i'm only 70+, so at least 10 more points. I have 2 damage clusters and 2 jewel slots to take.

THis is my PoB for Oni-Goroshi Scion (raider/slayer) using Molten Strike: https://pastebin.com/8SEbTgp6
this is for lvl 90 character, I am lvl 86 atm. I got all the gems and items in this PoB except for one jewel that I will buy by lvl 90 (the one in the slot after two projectile nodes)

Playing with this character is fun, fast and pretty safe. I got my Slayer abilities after Uber Lab, it was a bit iffy before that (you don't use Vaal Pact before getting Slayer).

Managed to drop Oni-Goroshi, heard you can drop more with the same chara if you did not identified it but that might be a hoax.

After few spellcasting glass canons I decided to run 3.1 with some tank, that do reasonable damage, that use no VP but Bloodseeker. Claw wielding BF is decent I guess? It could be better but I need to complete atlas before I start spending orbs on eq, not to mention people simply won't sell some better stuff (that was in previous league, current one is better but need to wait more for more offers). Can switch amulets for even better def / offence, nice damage with flasks and bosses melt down fast.

So far still drop shit uniques, best one is still Oni-Goroshi, then some Jewel that fiddle with golems (30c) then Tabula Rasa and Ratnest. Hope it get better with further map tiers but even though I have currency - people have a hard time to answer. Like - drop a word to 15+people with no answers (sure, might be timezone/job shifts but still) I guess that's PoE barter life...

Anyone played Pillars or Arun map? P. annoying that monsters shoot you while you struggle to jump from platform to platform with Flame Dash due to connection or collision issues or whatever, even though you can jump further distances on normal ground.

As in equipping 2 off-hand weapons?

That's genius!

This gives more DPS for spell builds than anything ever. Mirror this shit and carry it in both hands. GC miner or Bladefall or EK or BV can all use both.

I wonder how many Chaos were destroyed in the process of making of this weapon.

 

[Watser]

Ah yeah, forgot about physical spells. Damn, each one of those modifiers is an aura worth by itself.

 

[Saark]

I wonder how many Chaos were destroyed in the process of making of this weapon.

I'd assume none, since its a 30% base no one was actually crafting this from the ground up. It dropped with 2 or 3 of the prefixes and then people just went from there with masterblocking and scouring unsuccessful slams. The fact that it also rolled lv20 FA suffix means that you can go shieldcharge/leap+lgoh+fortify without losing any speed which makes this weapon extremely disgusting.

Of course for a max-speedclear build brightbeak+insanity gloves are still the way to go.

Just got into this game, on act 4 and flicker strike + multistrike + splash damage + blood lust is a pretty hilarious combo but I still do more damage just hitting things with frost blades. Any tips on how to make flicker strike better?

Try to get a way to sustain frenzy charges as Flicker can eat a frenzy charge to keep jumping, so if you manage to get a frenzy charge generation going because of "Gain a frenzy charge on kill" or "Gain a frenzy charge on hit" effects, then you can just jump around indefinitely. I mean, as long as there are monsters to kill.

But flicker strike as a first character is a bold choice, I think you will do better just sticking to frost blades for now.

I haven't really read into it so I don't know how viable flicker strike is in the late game. I got one of these which has a 25% chance to gain a frenzy charge from kill, but if I had two of them, would my chance to gain a charge stack?

This build is hilarious and fun, but I have no idea where I'll end up going, or when my frenzy charges run out. Had to run the ascendancy dungeon place without using flicker strike, because I kept flickering myself into environmental traps and insta-dying.

Get Blasphemy+Poacher's Mark. That also gives frenzy charge on kill. Also run Blood Rage, that also gives 25% chance to get frenzy charge on kill.

As I understand it, with two of those swords, you would not get 50% chance to gain charge, it would be rolled separably so you would have two 25% chances to gain frenzy charge on kill. But you could gain two from the same kill. At least thats how I think it works.

All in all, flicker can be viable in endgame, but I think there would be some problems with super endgame bosses and stuff but for the general map clear, it can work.

Oro's Sacrifice is probably the cheapest and easiest to use source of frenzy for flicker strike but you'll need some sort of life leech for that.

Terminus Est is another popular weapon for Flicker strike. But you kinda need to go crit for it.

Or start new character to farm Oni-Goroshi and retire earlier

don't

 

[T. Reich]

Btw, I'd like to thank Saark for the awesome build idea I stole from him - the maxblock DD necro.
I've thrown some unethical funds at it and got myself a bit of fun tanking the shaper guardians and the elder shizzle, too, most of the time.
-maxres maps are still a no-no, but this character has probably been the safest one I've played yet.

 

[ArchAngel]

I also decided to spend unethical amount of money into LL Guardian using Flame Golems... 6L Shavs and all that.
Character is based on LL Guardian RF that is now popular.
Instead of having necro abilities I buff my golems with offensive and defensive auras and warcryies. Also I make myself and them immortal with guardian aura boosts and ascendancy auras.
10k+ ES on my character and 60k armor makes me almost immune to most stuff.

And when I get that Watcher's jewel that gives more ES I will have 13k ES (after GGG fixes it and its price drops)

Character is a crazy good lab runner as well.
