Playstyle
Always before engage, use blood rage, needed flasks and then jump with leap slam in to group of enemies, hit once and start phasing around enemies and all near you will just blow up. You can also use phasing for fast movement, or escape. You will make your own art of destroying enemies with static and find out how satisfying playstyle this is. I will also introduce counter block in this league. Basicly you just stand still.. get some cofee ..!
You need to hit just once, and then again reset your beams with hit when its safe. When you go for tough rares / bosses use your totem and continue attacking or if you need to dodge much attacks then hit when you can and run around. Static strike unique playing style allows you to go pretty free and block everything while still doing tons of damage.


This is straight loan from Talonaus86 guide
"The gem interaction between Static Strike and Phase Run is unique in that the Static Strike beams can gain the DPS bonus from Phase Run for the full duration of Phase Run.
This, and the fact that the Static Strike beam attack rate is not dependent on attack speed, is what makes this build strong and special."
I can't explane it better so i will give all honors for talonaus.

I will update PoB and this guide all time when im playing.
Here will be guide for leveling and my progress steps.
There is 136/123 talent points, because there is options for you to choose of.
Everything there is good, you can follow my line or get idea from those.

11.03.2020 Writing really fast this guide..
13/03 Log in queue.
14/03 Got my static strike - lvl 22 now and its pretty easy.. take life / mana leech node and heading for winter spirit. This is going smoothest than ever.
14/03 Act 4 - really easy for now. Saving all currency and heading for atlas.
Using 2x 1-handed swords, static - dash - ancestral protector
14/15/03 act 8 - running some tests with diffrent skill gems. Atm trying static strike with cast on critical strike and wave of convict. Pretty fun! No struggle, some deaths from delirium. Got tabula rasa early so it was big help.
15/03 Around level 70. Stopped my tests swapped my proper gems. 150k DPS and life is good.
15/03 75 level. First temple done, easy. First 1-3 tier maps no problem. Clearing beach in like few min.
17/03 Got some nice gear and currency! Gears will be updated here now.
22/03 Finally got the surrender shield. Life is good.
My current gear:

- Do not believe what your in game dps calculations tells you.
Mine shows at the moment 50k when my true dps is 500k.
- Most of the people use path of building where you can get pretty clean calculations and also specific dps.
- Also we need to remember add correct settings for enemies and flasks etc. You can check mine from PoB link.

Items(outdated)
I will add later more and more what i have on my mind but for now because we are short in time for league starting i will write what are we looking for.
Weapons: We will use 1-handed sword and shield. Best options are wich we aim for The Saviour and The Surrender. Those are expensive very late game options, mean while we can use other cheaper stuff.
I will update those here later.

Head I suggest rare helmet. We can make it by our self or buy it. What we are looking is life, resistance balance and Static Strike has +2 maximum Beam Target enchant.
We can start with these and try to get best possible rolls.
We can use shaper / elder items too and Abyssus Ezomyte Burgonet for tough guys who like dmg. Abyssus is risk to use,but we are going to be tough guys so we can use it.
Everything is possible. I will try to get much more options for you guys to use!


Gloves
.
Always good option, Tombfists with 2 abyssal sockets are really great but expensive so you can go with 1 socket.
.
These gloves are really great and nice for budget. Corrupted version can acquire us Elemental Weakness curse on hit wich is really powerfull.
.
This is example, we can play with crit, shaper, elder items.
There is always good option use rare gloves.
We can get what we want, life, resists, missing int maybe some dmg.

Boots I prefer rare boots. We can get so much resists, life, movement speed all nice things with rare boots. Example

I will add more options and examples later.

Armour Our standard goal is Loreweave.
Its easy to acces because "This item can be acquired by vendoring 60x Unique Rings." so we can get it from recipe. We can also buy it from markets.
Well rolled rare chest is really doable too. Better maybe at late game.


Belt I am using mostly rare stygian vise. Abyssal socket is nice buff
for us and we can get huge amount of life, resists and elemental damage to our belt. I think there is few unique belts that could work Head Hunter maybe..


Rings I have used mark of the elder ring + rare shaper ring, The Taming Prismatic Ring and just double rare rings.
Both ways working nicely. Also circle of quilt is really nice.
I personally maybe prefer rare rings, we can get exactly what we want.
I like balanced build so i like to balance stats with rings, life, resists, then we can add some phy dmg to attacks / elemental damage / critical strike chance, critical strike multiplier.
We can keep upgrade our rings long away for endgame because really good rare rings cost a lot.

These are some example rings, just showing where we are going.

Amulet Rare amulets are really stong. We can again keep balancing our stats. There is also good place to add some phy dmg, ele dmg, crit chanse and multiplier. Still always life resists go first.
There is some interesting unique amulets too what we can use.



There is some examples again

Gems (Will be changes)

6-link chest / sword
Static strike, melee physical damage support, elemental damage with attacks support,fortify, damage on full life support, chain.
other options:hypothermia, close combat. Chain for big aoe.
We might need swap ruthless support for harder bosses for more damage.
Ancsteral call ? Multi strike ? In testing.

6/4-link chest / sword
Ancestral Warchief, Elemental damage with attacks, melee physical damage support, hyphotermia support, ruthless support, maim support
other options:I strongly recommend to try Vaal version of ancestral warchief, i liked it better late game.
talounaus86 used concerated effect support, its good.

4-link boots / helmet / gloves
Leap slam, Endurance Charge on Melee Stun Support, blood rage, phasing
oether options: You can use dash, any movement skill what you like. I like the combination of leap slam and endurance charge on mele stun.
We can jump in and start phasing. (Changes inc maybe)

4-link boots / helmet / gloves
Hatred, Herald of purity, war banner, englihten support
other option: you can use banner for your prefer blood and sand (my choise), flesh and stone.
4-link boots / helmet / gloves
Cast when damage taken, steel skin, precision (changes inc)

other options We can mix up gem orders this is something i made up. If you don't wanna use enlighten you can swap it with precision.
We can also re-organize blood rage and phasing to add some support gems to leapslam (faster attacks, blood magic) or (increased duration) for blood rage + phasing.

Flask There is many options, i like to use Diamond Flask for lucky crit strike. Lion's Roar will give nice damage boost and also 3000+ armour.
Then we can use The wise oak bishmut flask its nice mix up for damage and balancing resists. I like to use also 1 quick silver flask for going fast.
Last flask choice is kind of optional what you like to use, i prefer 1 panic health flask like example Blood of the Karui flask.
We can add some nice immune / remove effect for flasks too. It will help you at many situations, example you open strong box and it will freeze you, but
you have immune to freeze at some flask you can use it before box explode and day saved. I will add more options later too.


Some example flasks.

Jewels increased maximum life, critical strike chance / multiplier for one-handed melee weapons,
critical strike multiplier with elemental skills, melee criticial strike chance. There is many options, always increased maximum life is good but you can also go full damage modifiers.
Abyssal jewel we use murderous eye and stat options would be life, physical damage, gain phy dmg as extra fire damage
chance to gain unholy might for # seconds on meleekill
increased critical strike chance if you haven't dealt a critical strike recently , increased damage if you've killed Recently
, critical strike multiplier if you've killed recently
So there is alot of options what we can use.

There is examples.

(might be outdated i will update all better during league) But these should lead to the right direction)

-https://imgur.com/a/AHjUtuk Wich way to start level your talents.
First to the right red way and then left togreen.
-I started with frost blades and dual swords.
-You will get static strike at level 12. After completing The Siren's Cadence Act 1 you can buy static strike from Nessa. You will reward it too with templar, marauder and scion from same quest.

-Use 2 speed potions and only static big groups for experience. My goal is just get atlas fast as possible. If you are new player or just like to keep things slower you can clear all monsters and get level lead from monsters.

-Try to get some health and you can play any weapon you like. I started with dual swords.

-You shouldn't have problems if you get few starting items(you can buy with few alch from shop or make your own gear with recipes) and keep it simple hit and run.

-You can try to get some nice rare 1-handed swords / unique

-If you feel like you need to spam flasks all the time you should take some life leech from tree. It helped me alot.

-There is many good starter unique items (cant link those for some reason)
Tabula rasa, prismweave rusticsash, unique leather belt with mana / life leech, there is few good rings that you can use too. Those most commons what will drop.
This ring is the most epic<3


-Important thing you must complete all side quests too, you get good rewards.

-If you struggle some bosses try to hit and jump around, don't stand still, you will kill it at some point. If it feels like you get killed a lot take life nodes and add life / resists to gear.

-Most important things at boss fights you need to know tactics (shaper, guardians, all). It's half win if you know what to do.

-NEW PLAYERS , check vendor recipes from PoEwiki https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vendor_recipe_system there is many helpfull recipes what you can use!

-Later game you will wonder how you can manage all your auras? I don't have mana? Keep your precision aura at level 1, do not level up it. (nerfed)

- build path inc.

Help me to make this guide better and share your experiences!

Q:Gem orders? A: static, melee phy dmg, ele dmg, fortify / hypo. When you have enough life leech you can add damage on full life.

Old stuff. New videos coming :)
