The Explosive Buffalo (33k ar, 93%alres, MJÖLNER, LOW LIFE, RF, PASSIVE BM, NEW ATZIRI VIDS)
 Hello! I've finally finished (almost ofc :D ) my build, so i share it, couse maybe it can solve some of the problems. This guide built for POE players, who: - play standard/HC - can afford the gear (pretty expensive) - wanna make a char with very high dps, and very good defense - dont like keep items and many switch gems in inventory to precast auras in all new areas, or for the harder enemies (and snapshotting will be fixed). Before the start, I should mention the basic idea was a similar build, like this: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/917173 I came back to play (after 3 mounth break), when i read this build, no way, Tom94 is a nice guy:) THE BUILD Its a Mjölner-discharge and arc build, combined with Low life, RF, and Blood Magic (yes, from the passive tree :D ) To use passiv BM, have great advantages: -40% aura reserve, so i can cast all the auras, what i need, no need 2xBM gem, dont need to care about mana problems, no need to use any items or +gems to cast my auras. Tom's build is ideal to make this advantages work, it have great dps, which dont need any dps auras, so it makes possible to use almost all of the defensive auras to get high defense. To use passiv BM on low life, just one thing needed: LGoH gem. Main attack skill is molten strike, couse it have low mana cost (lvl 1 gem), almost the best aps in the game--->which is optimal for a Mjölner build. No need other attack skill, molten strike is great AoE skill and great attack vs single target too. Shortly about the results: insane dps (the same as Tom's build only the haste aura is missed, but it can be usable too) insane defense: 33k armour (no flask), 93% allres (no flask), 100% of time can be immortal called (nn CwDT gem, just press the button any time, when i need it) :) insane costs ofc :) ADVANTEGES
Spoiler
- great dps - great defense - 6 aura (3x40% and 3x60%) without snapshotting! - outregen vulnerability/half regen mods, can do BM maps - no reflect problems - no mana problems (since i have no mana :D, so here, again half regen, or no regen mods doesnt matters DISADVANTAGES
Spoiler
- costs - high lvl needed - on - max resist maps, no regne maps RF must be turned off, or reroll the map (I use to do this :D ) DEFENSIVE STATS
Spoiler
**got 6.2k es now:)** without endurance charges:  with 3 endurance charges (which is up in 99% time)  OFFENSIVE STATS
Spoiler
**will be updated** TREE LVL 94 BANDITS
Spoiler
on all lvls of difficulty, i just killed all the bandits.
On my tree all nodes are exactly needed, so not really have other choice. + charges are doesnt needed, since discharge consomes them, before they could be stack. CORE ITEMZ

SNAPSHOTTING
Spoiler
Here is a video, how aura snapshotting works
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noOU6CG3XtQ and ofc, if we use RF, all becomes more difficult. My precast process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L16lYlgdNjU Just switch weapon, cast RF, switch back, cast Blood Rage, and done. RF is now linked with Empower, Enchance - so all is for increasing spell damage, not RF damage. If it will be nerfed (cast RF with switch weapon), i will be still ok with it. VIDEO

- get 94% allres - get more es (i think 7-7.5k is possible), maybe better spell block (or dodge) chance *under construction* IGN : FlatBuffalo Last edited by laposbivaly#1880 on Jul 17, 2014, 12:32:39 PM

I like the idea, but what about frozen and stun ?
|
|
" I doesnt remember to had any problem with stun yet, but its just +1 passive node to get the immunity. Freez can be bigger problem (with lower resists, or no Iron Reflex version), but with my resists/armour i can get some hits;) IGN : FlatBuffalo Last edited by laposbivaly#1880 on Jun 5, 2014, 11:53:06 AM

Looks awesome but I dont have the 500 exalts needed to do it. haha. bummer. Thanks for sharing.

Added lightning damage? What for? It probably does less than 50 damage per hit after all the reductions. Is there something I am not seeing? Is it worth the increase in mana cost? More chance to shock perhaps?
|
|
" Yes more chance to shock (I'm lvling that gem now). Instead of it Elemental Weakness can be used vs Bosses, Increased Area Effect vs packs. IGN : FlatBuffalo

So im using this build on my Scion and i must say its pretty legit. Only part that sucks is being frozen which I thought about using alphas howl instead of the vertex. This was the result of running an atziri map only to be frozen by one of the dual vaal's, while the other one immediately did a vaal smash and I couldnt do a thing. So Im guessing its either that or mix up my flasks with some "dispel Frozen" because currently they are all "Staunching" Flasks - Corrupted Blood is a mother..
