Major props to the build creator, absolutely brilliant planning!

GGG screwed up starting with this one, gonna be a tough act to follow for the rest of the season.

When you ask everyone involved what the first build of the week should be and they all come up with the same answer, you go for it.

So are you all just looking for the most creative build around? In that case I think there should be a disclaimer since it's something EVERY player sees before he logs in. My friend, who is pretty new to POE, got completely flashed by this and the vid and I had to explain to him the reality of build before he sunk all his limited currency into the required gems.

edit: Maybe every build of the week should have a tag like [fun], [experimental], [mapping], [costly], [for veterans] or something like that

This is wise. Good idea. +1

Or you can just follow the link to the build and you'll usually see something like this there:
(taken from StrangeCloud's build guide)

~ Require High Level, don't even try this with a character under 85
lacks single target DPS
Can be difficult to find the right gear but NOT expansive(moderately cheap 4-6ex range)

Why make them categorize it when it's already detailed in the actual build post, where you'd go if you were really interested in the build in the first place. I can't remember any botw that had a poorly written guide that didn't include this type of info.

I'm not totally against the idea, just don't see the point in it. :)

I have a feeling that if they did do the tags like that, people would still skim over it and blow currency because they didn't read the full build guide.

I really think its original and fun to create a build without focusing on dps 100% of the time.

Next week another CoC or low-life shavs video?

I just think a tag that clearly indicates what the build is about is way easier to notice than one sentence in the build thread that has a lot of text anyway. Plus it gives people who aren't interested in a certain thing an indicator, otherwise it forces them to read a whole guide just to notice "oh the build is really expensive and doesn't do well against Atziri" for example.

Here's a link to a thread I just made a few minutes ago about how I played a similar build during tempest: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1422739

Ripped quickly, the build is in no way hardcore viable. Sadly.

this build is WAYY better than those beginner builds

love such unusual builds :)

amazing... I wondered what can happen with 5 armies of bones but i don't know all these cool mechanics/uniques well enough to create such a build.

I guess the damage is not all that important (although it seems ok) but the idea is working! :)

didnt we have Doedre's Elixir build already? pretty cool mechanic but not impressive, atleast it cant crash POE.

Just for the sake of theorypath, can it be build with life instead of ES?
