Shakka, can you go through and clean up the OP so it's more reflective of currently relevant info? It's fairly tough to discern what is no longer relevant and there is still a lot of 1.2 stuff intermingled with the 1.3.

Ty. This was a similar build to what I was devising. FB+Block+Cyclone+Buffs+Counter Attacks


T_T I should yes, I'll see if I can get around to cleaning it up sometime this week
Heya guys!

I have done a variation on this build knowing that I wasn't going to be able to get hold of a 5 link or 6 link Carcass Jack.

The aim was to make sure it could still pack a solid punch (badum tish) with extremely cheap gear. The only extravagances were using a Divine Orb on my Abyssus to get a 40% roll, and buying the Great Old Ones shield for 24c.

Now, I couldn't get a decent rolled set of Facebreakers (Torment League) and my jewllery is a bit crap (refused to pay more than 1c for any of it).

Current Gear




DPS: 25k / 21k (Goo/Saffels)
HP: 4.6k
Block: 45% with Tempest
Armor: 40% (ish)

With the 4-link skill setup, it will happily do Atziri runs. Couple of deaths here and there because I suck, but I have managed each boss deathless (unfortunately just not all in the same run). The Reckoning skill with life leech is brutal, I block a hit and it smashes everything to death for around 3/4 of the screen, and refills my HP.

It will do every map boss except the Crematorium one (mind you, haven't tried with Saffels yet), and anything that freezes too quickly (am thinking about getting an Alpha's Howl setup for freeze bosses). Only Exile that has given me problems is Igna, because RF is not friendly up close.

So, essentially, you've created a 1ex 4-link build that will happily kill all the things, except a couple of the things.

Big thanks to Shakka for his build guide, it was a blast :)

Why added cold with life leeching Reckoning?
Hi guys, what do u think about a 6L lightning coil instead of carcass to decrease phys damages taken ? Lightning coil has a better def than carcass and it is possible to compensate the loss of dps (I must use inc aoe gem with lightning coil) by taking more dps into the tree as the armor will be higher with a lightning coil and phys damages really lower by using a lightning coil. As auras, i was also thinking to use the purity of lightning aura to decrease more and more damages taken. That could be a pretty tanky build no ?

That was with my previous chest, only recently swapped to Carcass full time.
Hi guys, this is my first build and it's been quite enjoyable so far. I just got back into POE so I'm slowly building up currency to upgrade my jewellery for higher life and to get a 6L carcass. I'm at 56k dps and only 3.6k life

Your prismatic ring is actually really good, probably not worth upgrading from that in a good while, specially since it's a T1 phys roll and can just be divined to get higher phys roll
