Weirdo build contest [win Exalted] WE GOT A WINNER!
|
One character I've been having a lot of fun with, but that likely needs a lot more polishing is a burning arrow witch which uses lots of fire damage and burning nodes, and (here comes the somewhat interesting part) Hatred and Cold to Fire...
So I have burning arrow + added fire + weapon elemental damage + cold to fire + elemental proliferation, getting percentage of my physical stacked twice into fire damage... oh and using blackgleam to convert physical to fire I really would like some build that is optimal using cold to fire, since it is really a pretty weak-sauce gem hehe (unfortunately I think in every case something else is preferable though) Designer of The Broken Crown

" I was gonna post a crit cold snap dual totem and triple snap trap user with freeze mines, utilising breath of rime and level 1 arctic armour and arctic breath with AOE for chills and taryns shiver to take advantage of all the freezes. Plus fire traps with burning gems and passives to take advantage of slow enemies. Could use lightbane raiment too for desecrated ground but I've heard the damage is too low to bother with.

I rarely play my standard characters much but i will post my build anyways
Iceshot Arctic Armor Duelist(an Explosiveburn original) I always wanted to do some sort of frost archer build that would be viable and have good synergy. I spend alot of time theory crafting on how to make arctic armor with something other then a spell build. This is the rougly the first version of the build(which i might add is god awful http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQAmy0XHbe2jX7NmN7G6mL6sb6nbmnEuNX4GbTK0yzp3Q06szWGnaq5zfzFZ6CHdkp9W68Y20OcDq0ppXTxIWBAoAUtYEt673Tt704yCRUgS0nAGQ0Cg9v8S85xbBYqTT8nbqoyfgPbQ9JvnhEPtAyTJ597eLqsPx6U3Fcc3H_G45_UGbyfJ6labSQ8p1xJUQ2NbAsi9H3S5oHAVHNTB2NXKw== Definitly scrapped that idea when i realised going on the right side of the tree has greater benefits also eldrich battery is needed for arctic armor not just stacking mana regen. I got some help from people at reddit, fine tuned a little bit and go this rolling http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQBmy0XHbe2jX7NmL6n3sbqYvqxGbTK0yzp3Q06szWGnaq5zfzFZ6CHdkp9W68Y20OcDq0ppRR1dEF316TCfyswfFFHqriqf419b_I51KCfjb_e-KR4wdXrFOjWmyYyAbIZz3ph63pTdPGeuSFgQKAFLWBLeu907e9OMgne9ud0YeKH2xa_8-pwUsBR44Tw2Uk7cn4OSKc0EZZ_xqKjwfOCHtsLJ6labSQ8p1xJUQW1tMULkZrxCImTJV1owTOdo_yroi5QQow2Av7fhFVLbXsmlZAK Keystone Iron Reflexes: Converts all Evasion Rating to Armour Point Blank: Projectile Attacks deal up to 50% more Damage to very close targets, but deal less Damage to farther away targets Eldritch Battery: Converts all Energy Shield to Mana Stats +130 to Strength +300 to Dexterity +150 to Intelligence Life 186% increased maximum Life 1.5% of Life Regenerated per Second +20 to maximum Life Mana 2% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched back as Mana Physical Damage 48% increased Physical Damage with Bows Cold Damage 14% increased Cold Damage 5% Chance to Freeze enemies on hit with Cold Damage Resistance +12% to all Elemental Resistances Attack Speed 40% increased Attack Speed 10% increased Attack Speed with Bows Cast Speed 3% increased Cast Speed Accuracy 36% increased Accuracy Rating Critical Strike 120% increased Critical Strike Chance with Bows 170% increased Critical Strike Chance 20% increased Critical Strike Multiplier Knocks Back enemies if you get a Critical Strike with a Bow Movement 4% increased Movement Speed Misc 36% increased Projectile Damage 30% increased Arrow Speed Now for the most importent part the items!

With chin sol knockback on crits even more freezing and point blank, this will allow ice shot to do very viable damage and freeze alot of targets up close also since you will be running arctic armor when you kite you will also be slowing enemies behind you, if you encounter a reflect pack all you have to do is snipe since point blank makes you do less damage far away, and lets face it ice shot does pretty garbage damage anyways so when you stand back and shoot its hard for you to 1-3 shot yourself. For iceshot run (Iceshot+LMP+Life on hit+Wep ele+Chain+Faster attacks) in that order faster attacks being your L6 Overall i think the synergy in this build is nice and i hope you liked it! |

So my friend and I made a Pillar of the Caged God build, possibly the only working one so far.
Pillar of the Caged God - Fire Trap Detonate Dead (Likely the only build to reach triple digit increased AOE passively!) Passive Tree:

Why Fire Trap - Detonate Dead? It is one of the least gear dependent builds in POE, leaving me room to mess around. It's damage type is also purely AOE, which allows me to stack Increased AOE passives and items! Fire Trap is an extremely strong source of burst damage, and Detonate Dead does 18% of the corpse's life as fire damage, which is strong AOE damage, and can be boosted easily without the need of items. I got all the Area of Effect Radius nodes in the skill tree. Additionally, I picked up a Carcass Jack to increase the AOE radius even more. My items are listed below: Because Pillar of the Caged God has the effect "+1% increased AOE per 20 Intelligence", I decided to stack INT. To do this effectively, I used two Perandus Signet ring, which along with a total of 5 unique items equipped (2x Perandus Signet, Rainbowstride, Carcass Jack, Pillar of the Caged God), it gives a total of +30% INT. Also, I found very nice +INT ES Gloves, Helm, and Amulet to help me with this build. If I was in Standard, I will be using an Astramentis for the +100 INT, and to boost INT gain from Perandus Signet to +36%. The passive tree shows a total of 470 INT at the end game, without items. Currently, my character is level 65 (Witch) and has 616 INT with all the above items equipped. AOE Radius is at 112% passively. Currently my links are (the important ones): 5L Carcass Jack: Detonate Dead - Elemental Proliferation - Chance to Ignite - Life Leech - Increased AOE (Currently level 15, which is 28% increased, bringing the total Increased AOE to 112+28 = 140% Increased AOE) 4L: Fire Trap - Fire Trap - Fire Trap - Concentrated Effect 4L: Clarity - Purity - Discipline - Reduced Mana 4L: Flammability - Increased AOE (Total of 140% increased AOE currently) Since this character is only level 65, the increased AOE can be further increased from 140% to even higher! Leveling this build was not easy at all. Starting from Witch, I leveled as a Freezing Pulse - LMP character, which did little damage and was extremely boring! Only barely managed to pull through to the end! Guild #YoloSwag <SWAG> HSC: SwaglordYolomancerII Time zone: GMT +8 (Hong Kong) Last edited by Xymordos#2119 on Jul 17, 2013, 8:50:48 AM

dafuq thats a real weirdo-build!
"useless" pillar used -> check synergy with perandus signet (which arent common as well) -> check uncommon dps skills -> check Thats for sure hard to beat... /clap |

Wouldn't you save a lot of mana by using a level 1 detonate dead? Just A Tip Bud

There's not really a difference in mana when I regen mana at 107 mana per second, but when I get the cash I'll buy a quality Det Dead. I accidentally leveled it a few times due to misclick when the gem leveled up.....

Right now I'm building a Melee Elemental Hit Ranger. With Pillar of the Caged God. So far, it's very fun. I think I'll be able to pull it off while staying pure evasion.
