2.3 Fakener (budget fake Mjölner) build - Trickster Version

Well, if you don't link it to life leech, I actually find it dangerous to have that setup. I'd rather have Fortify. I do use a cast when stunned setup with life leech though. Pretty funny.
Also, Rex doesn't have Voll's Devotion else he wouldn't have problems with packs. Granite is always up and you don't need a 3 red setup. In general, I still find Granite to be more dependable than immortal call, especially without Voll's Devotion.
About the amethyst, while Atziri is great, it doesn't have the surgeon mod. Especially useful on bosses such as Voll. And you can run curse immune on it to do bosses such as Academy.
It's all about preferences I guess.

Yeah forgot to say that i use that whirlwing setup for dried lake farm. Anyway, everyone without voll's devotion should be running warlord mark. immortal call sustain, higher discharge damage, u could even drop LL on ur chest.

This is my normal setup:


Isn't cast when stun somehow a bit wasted setup? i mean, i practicaly dont notice stuns, besides rocks. Getting a high lvl cwdt wouldn't be more advantageous?

Edit:
Forgot to say that im talking on the CI side, no need of an amethyst flask though.

Still just getting wiped out on a regular basis. Managed to get some chaos res, but now anything spiky just one-shots me. What do I need to work on with my build/gear?



Maybe lvl66 is just too low? Are there specific gear items or things I should be looking for?

Going to be honest and say it; Hybrid with like 2k Life and even with positive Chaos Resistance just seems total and utter garbage to me. Go into any high end map that has any mob that does chaos damage and you're just going to get dumpstered on every time.

Go CI, get an 8k+ ES, profit.

With solid gear for CI my current stats while using Assasins Mark, full charges and flasks up are -

8321 ES
93.42 Discharge Crit Chance
103.75 Cyclone Crit Chance (100 percent)
416 Discharge Crit Multi
47770 Discharges (sacrificed 250 ES for a bit more damage) could get it over 50k with better gear

Drop Rat's nest, Saffel Frame and that belt, get a high ES helm / shiel, and a belt with ES+HP, that will increase ur survability by a mile.

A proper cwdt will help against physical damage too (cwdt+immortal call+inc duration)

Insane build yes but sadly also nerfbait for whiners alike.

Expect this to be changed really soon.

Had the exact problem and just switched to CI. Got almost 6k ES. Just make sure one of your pots can unfreeze you.

Mind linking tree / gear? Characters are private.

Sure. Keep in mind I have fairly strong jewels that give me a bit more ES, some Resists as well as the usual damage mods mixed in. But still could get another 6 percent ES on my rings if I got some better RNG as I've wasted like 8ex trying to get higher ES% rolls on them.
*Edit* make that 8412 ES got 19 and 20 percent rolled on them.

So you are running Blasphemy, discipline and Clarity? whats your mana pool?

Do you use mana gain on hit jewels?

Was bleeding ever a problem to you? (like maps with vulnerability and high dmg mods, so your ES just flies away?

Why not reskill Dagger nodes on right side of tree and get the jewel right beneath?
with crit strikes you should get to 95% crit anway? dual diamonds rings with crit+es multimodded and a 21/20 CoC should do their thing?

Is being shadow a thing bc of upcoming ascendancy extra Shadow tree with crit?
(I play shadow, sure I am off some effective points, still Ele dmg isnt that bad)

EDIT regarding auras: made smth like this https://poe.mikelat.com/#kUNF/VzF=U7lh

But this would stop me doin hard regen without dropping blasphemy and gettin a mana pot.


More EDIT:

Benefits of CI:

No-Chaos dmg,
drop chaos res,
get res cap easier with higher ES gear
8k ES pool as Effective life
may get more dmg bc of no chaos res needed, benefits more from ES% on rings (bc CI ES node)
trio is easier, if its not 1shot anyway with either hybrid or CI, not a problem to evade puddles if you are experienced anyway


Cons
Mana sustain: either clarity +2x elighten (meh uneffective), mana gain hit jewels (1 enough for single target?)
STUNS, hit a rock, stick, any shit on map and you stop cyclone, 1 life makes you vulnerable to added cold damage and crit maps) Sure you never should stand still, but at sometime you just WILL, mostly bc of map layout.
expensive to run 3 auras if you like to have rlly high max res (uber atziri/ hard reflect mobs) bc enlighten lvl 4


Benefits of Hybrid:
___________________________
EDITED: One Huge benefit I felt, with the drawback of having a life flask:

Any not counter-leechable damage
-onespire-talisman debuff
-gettin hit from out of your range
-reflect damage

Can be countered effectively by using your Life Flask(surgeons ofc)!
Got hit hard? Cannot leech on reflect pack?
Bonespiered and no mobs to leech?
Anything else where I cannot manually recharge my ES? (not gettin outfight ofc, no es recharge)

POP A LIFE FLASK, having 2k+ life left for regen by flask instead of seeing your ES drop and cant do anything about it bc no mobs left (all 1hit ehhh)
_________________________

Str gives free effective life and isnt wasted by CI node
more STR= can run purity of fire, higher CWDT setup/more duration
Str nodes in tree (discipline and training / blood siphon /devotion) are same cost as CI and double dip life and str.
having the dream of over 2k life makes you have rlly less problems with stun. I lack 2 nodes and get to 2k, no life on my gear but 35str belt.
Not losing the jewel slot next to melding for same effective life (nearly same, on CI its multiplied by CI ES node ofc)

Can run vertex, up tp 340ES helmet, free 700 Evasion, chaos res, no enlighten lvl 4, no purities 21 needed. max res and possible lvl 22 discipline for. (max res + flask rlly make reflect packs easier and i guess all atziri runs, especially uber)

could run same setup as posted before: enlighten, assamark (blasphemy)+discilpline. low clarity in a other slot, enlighten/or higher manapool (CI benefits here more i guess, since INT gives Es and mana, id always run clarity on life and have an easy time on hard regen)

Can run clarity on life, makes it possible to run 3 Auras on Mana, 2 purites and discilpine for atziri/uber/reflect, or drop 1 purity in favour of assassins mark, or drop 2 for as above posted herald of ice setup (to drop cold dmg on dagger).


CONS:

CHAOS DAMAGE! Fucks you up...
Deadhand talisman = RIP, (chaos flask helps)
desecrated ground is annoying for moving around (assamark alone gives me enough to not even feel the ground in fight)
Yeah well Chaos mobs, but i NEVER died to and snake nor constructs, NEVER bc of their chaos damage, it feels so low i refill any hits i get with assamark or 1hit them before gettin hit.


Regarding gear:

High ES gear for CI is as expensive as ES gear with chaos res
Vertex is a cheap super nice item for hybrid and spares money if you wanna run enlighten 4
Go CI if you hate purities, res cap without chaos res is easy.


My only issue is still:

STUN and MANA SUSTAIN as CI, if I tested myself enough with CI, no purities, maybe mana hit jewels I may stay CI, so far I stay hybrid, no problems there other than DEADHAND Talisman! (GRRRR!)




I died more often to standing still due to sticks (think more of a problem as CI)
more often through reflect (purities help here then!)

than I ever died to CHAOS damage. Thats why I dont rlly know if its worth going CI just for that. Maybe if I get a 500ES shield and 400+ ES helm and 200ES boots bc of the CI ES node multiplying it.
