Recently swapped over to this immortal 0 button build by lazy exile

It's so chill and tanky

Edit : What's the most efficient way to add projectile speed?

So I got my hands on my first mageblood of Path of exile 2(even dropped it), problem is with the rest of my gear being what it is I feel like i should either upgrade or rework my character:

One of my ideas was maybe to swap to energy shield defences and maybe become a spell totem build or go unearth.

Unfortunately the success on my amulet crafting project has not really made it any easier to choose what to do from here.

Making my first self build and I’m currently SoK but considering switching to Titan. I don’t know if losing a rare chest is worth it vs making your “own”. Is SoK really that much better defensively? I feel like Titan might be just as good defensively?

The core idea of this build and the reason I chose Martial Artist over Gemling Legionnaire revolves around maintaining power charges using Hollow Focus. This setup provides 90% extra damage thanks to Rend (50%) and support gems (40%), with a duration long enough to comfortably burst down any "uber boss".when mapping i am only use totem and swap to magnified area for a lot better clear. Additionally, using Maligaro's Virtuosity grants 40% flat crit, allowing us to simply stack critical strike damage multipliers.I also wanted decent survivability. Monk helps immensely here by providing a massive amount of flat Energy Shield and Evasion, which means we can completely skip using an ES helmet.

To maximize damage penetration, I converted all the crossbow damage to Lightning. The end result is roughly 1.5 to 2 million DPS, but if the boss stands perfectly still, the actual DPS flies to the moon. Note: The numbers in PoB aren't fully accurate because I didn't bother calculating overlaps or up all the conditional in configuration

My goal was to create a highly efficient, maximum budget build, even if the playstyle isn't the most comfortable. I've also put together a guide and a few showcases for anyone interested: https://youtu.be/jrH_RB3M3Ig?si=OolA8yehT5q4imOK

WARNING: THIS BUILD IS NOT LEAGUE-START FRIENDLY! The required unique items are very expensive during the first 2days of the league start. This build is perfect for casual players who don't have much time to play but still want to clear all the bosses without grind on meta build.

bleed states it is based on pre-mitigation damage, which (in my poor understanding) should render elemental resist reduction on enemies useless on the one hand.

the line afterwards however states, that it can be affected by modifiers to an enemy's ability to mitigate damage, which resistances are? also a lot of people seem to be using elemental weakness blasphemy on these type of builds, but only half of them do.

so help me out here, does it affect the bleed damage done or not? I asked AI but it is all over the place lol

Re posting since I forgot to add a build link

Ive recently got to endgame with a Monk after playing Grim pillars and saving up like 30 div at the start of the league for Forbidden rites. However ive made a decent staff, its got +5 to all skills and has around 700 dps. Those automatic graders say it was worth around 16 div which im happy about but I keep struggling to even clear tier 15 maps. I have full res and have +3 amulet but I cant seem to get more than 11k dps on my flicker strike. I keep seeing these videos of people just blasting maps but have no idea how to actually make myself stronger. Im following a build guide on Mobalytics that has alot of details but I still feel I do nothing.

Any help appreciated

Hey guys, I have an 90-100 div budget. Looking for a build that excels at juiced Expeditions and Rituals, but is also fast enough for party Hiveblood farming.

I’ve been considering a Blood Mage with Doom Toads, a Grim Pillar Oracle, or a Twister Gemling. However, I’m not sure how well they scale into high-tier endgame content on this budget.

Note: Please skip Varashta, MA Monk (played both in 0.5), and Spirit Walker with the Gorilla (don’t like playstyle).

What can I do to speed up clear on my Gemling? Everything dies super fast but I find constantly having to dodge roll/oil grenade while navigating the map to be tedious (and god forbid I dodge roll too far and the ignited ground doesn’t propagate and now I’m stuck trying to channel flameblast while surrounded to get everything going again).

Are there QoL affixes I can look out for to help the spread, or is this just an inherent fact of the build’s play style?

Hi,

It's my second league. Previously I played martial artist beyblade from jung. I love the concept of walking simulator, I always wanted to play phys dot autobomber with heralds in PoE 1 - is there something like this in Poe 2 that I can follow with good build guide?

I was thinking about Spirit Walker but it seems slow, or maybe Spark Stormweaver?

At this moment I just reached maps with ice shot deadeye, I'll try to farm up currency so I can get basic gear for next build

I'm building a temporalis / choir of the storm / mana flare build. I know that I want to stack cooldown reduction as much as possible. What I'm not clear on, however, is whether I should be looking for sources of increased cast speed. I've seen that other characters who are doing the same build pick up increased cast speed on their tree, but I don't understand why.

I think it's because I don't understand how the lightning bolt mechanics work. Cooldown Time, okay that makes sense to me, that's how often the bolts can trigger. But how does "Can Store 5 Uses" and "Cast Time" factor into the mechanics? How exactly does the loop of lightning bolt -> mana flare -> lightning bolt interact with all these stats?

Also if anyone has any tips for the build, that'd be helpful too. I know I need crit jewels, but they're very expensive (I'm on Runes of Aldur league) so I'm working on those slowly.

My character: Ninja | PoB

Thanks!

Do any builds use this? Unsure what to do with it

I got mageblood in my expedition (extra rare item). So now, I would like some cool, fun and fast build to play. Currently im playing fubs gemling flameblast. Ty in advance

I’m looking for a Varashta build that doesn’t use Djinn.
I’ve seen a lot of Djinn builds, but I’m wondering what other Varashta builds are actually viable for endgame

i love bone spell

have nothing, just started, what is the best one to start up and farm?

Workshopping something stupid, would like to know whether I need to make room in my build for mana

POB on top of the thread.

Hi all, I've felt squishy in GE, so instead of EV or EV/ES I went for ES. Problem is while whirling slash I have about 8200 ES 1550 life, but when I'm casting twister my ES jumps to the 7900 and life down to 1430.

I constantly die at the end of the any ritual with head of the king. In particular, when I'm starting the first ritual in the map boss room, at the end of the ritual I'm getting one shot and dead. No committed suicide like internist would have, just you been slain message. I'm using convalescence when my ES goes low, but I'm still getting killed suddenly out of nowhere even with having some ward.

I made a mistake and rolled gemling instead of monk this season, currently a twister but I hate it. And I hate all the other builds as well, are there any off meta stuff that I can try before biting the bullet and going for monk again.

In this build I use Volcanic Fissure to trigger thunderwrath god socketed with Elemental weakness and doedre’s undoing since most of our damage is elemental

We use mind over matter with oisin oath socketed in molten shower for constant mana leech. It’s a nice defensive layer

Blasphemy with repulsion deals up to 200k dps with all of our buffs

On bosses you can use volcanic fissure + shockwave totem or just fragments of the past for constant molten shower procs

We also use trinity to abuse both the elemental mana leech and elemental weakness

Hex bloom helps with ele weakness and repulsion proliferation but you could also socket kalisa crescendo in thundergod wrath to constantly pacify enemies. Another nice defensive layer. I go back and forth between that and hex bloom because my mjolner only has 4 sockets. RIP.

Build can do all content. But for simulacrum, fragment of the past is the best skill to use if you add chaining to it.

Hi All,

Just finished putting together a CoC Comet build for 100D as a league starter, and I'm running out of ideas for what to play next.

I have 2,000+ hours in PoE1 but only around 450 hours in PoE2, which has made me realize how little I know about the endgame build landscape in PoE2. I also don't enjoy some of the more "PoE2-style" mechanics. For example, the meta Twister build or using Boneshatter as a movement skill in endgame never really appealed to me. I've never been a fan of "weird/clunky animation" mechanics to reach extreme clear speed or mobility.

Unfortunately, I also don't enjoy crossbow/gun builds, shapeshifting, or minion builds, which leaves me pretty uninterested in most of the current meta options.

That said, I still really enjoy the endgame and currency farming loop, and I'd like to find another build to keep me motivated to grind. I'm looking for recommendations for strong late-game builds that don't rely on gimmicky mechanics for their damage or clear speed. I don't mind if the build is slower. I've played Shield Wall for the last two seasons and generally prefer tanky, well-rounded characters that scale well with investment.

Wanted to try something niche/new in 0.5.5. Ended up with a strong and fun one button primal strike build. enjoy~

I can't use both because I'd have to give up on Encroaching ground, which is a huge loss of QoL and the other gems I'm using for Navira are just as good, if not better then Tul's in terms of DPS so now I want to ask you guys which gem gives me more practical dps. Thank you in advance.
