You should've posted builds that work on new leagues. Nobody plays standard and hardcore these days and the new Soul Taker sucks.(that is if u can get it...)
All these builds are mostly just to show off your godly gears from old league that nobody plays. |

" I would like to bring your attention to this thread by Chris: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/585334 You're right about no one playing hardcore these days. But standard, contrary to what most people think, is still very popular. A whopping 25.6%, which is even more than Nemesis at 20.5%. Not to burst your bubble, but figures speak for themselves.

It' simple:
If a build is only viable to softcore, it's "top tier" for ~75% of the player community; if a build is hadcore viable (this means it is also great for softcore :D) it is top tier for 100% of the community! So my thoughts on this "top tier ranking": ad 1) - very good survivability due to evasion/block, but can got 1-shotted - very low life despite top legacy gear--> status aliments are a problem - DPS is quite low solo, so in party play this caracter is useless, due to a lack of DPS - not quite hardcore vaible (based on luck) ad 2) - Insane DPS indeed - but get 1-shotted all the time - desync issue due to flicker strike - not hardcore viable at all ad 3) - Super tanky build with good DPS - gets 1-shotted in a physical or elemental reflect/-max map regardless - gets rid of corpses which is very good against some type of monsters - not very flexibel ad 4) - good DPS for AOE, lack of DPS against single target - good for shockstacking in partys, but can't really help killing bosses - without Valtxic Rift high end unique oneshit against reflect - can easily oneshot offscreen against lightning thorns (very risky) - hardcore vaible ad 5) - Insane DPS due to ignite mechanic - quite tanky with decent gear - requires quality gems to work properly in maps - life vaal pact/devouring totem combo gives insane survivability - Puncture/Bleeding/Chaos damage is still an issue - lack of single target is quit an issue sometimes - a lot of micromanaging skills is involved (harder, but more fun to play) - hardcore vaible but hard to level up Also we have to look forward due to ignite nerv/damage over time effect change, which is comming soon. |

One of these would be nice for Nemesis.

" Thanks for the lengthy reply, much appreciated! I have to agree with you for the first build, it is pretty much a very good build for a solo player, but the DPS falls off when playing in group. Though in group, that DPS can be buffed by so many other DPS auras like Wrath etc. I just feel that for the Flicker Crit build, if POE could fix desync soon enough this build will get way more love than it currently receives. Agree with you on the 4th and 5th build as well. IGN: Asharin

My thoughts on build 1 as I'm currently playing it:
Positives: +good dps +good moving around +good surviveability, rarely get hit, and can heal very quick +gear dependent to shine +doesn't involve OP mechanics/exploits like CWDT Negatives: -Due to the huge surviveability, you can take more risks, and then that's when death happens if you play on Nemesis/HC. -Can get one shotted but very very rarely, like face tanking Dominus and taken damage right before his lightning slam... This is more a player issue I found, and I haven't died in maps yet. This is when I had only 16% spell block, so maybe it was my fault to tank him like that. Now I have 53% spell block, and I haven't been touched by Dom's lightning slam anymore. -Mana intensive I probably won't recommend it for HC, because the high surviveability makes the player play overconfidently, and dies to circumstances unforseen. I can do Dominus runs in 5 mins, that's including the time to vendor->level 2->jump to boss->kill boss, rinse and repeat. Pretty happy with this build right now.
