[3.0]Wild Strike. Facetank content with 1.9M dps. All maps, all Guardians and Shaper. Videos inside.

To be honest I think it is the best, to just dump Kaom's Root for mapping and just use/ swap them if you need them (Guardians/Shaper or really hard mods mapbosses).

You simply can't play smooth enough in PoE without a movement skill

If you go through the gear section in my OP you'll see that I use Atziri's Step. I only use Kaom's Roots when doing Guardians and Shaper.

I have edited my end game gear section to include Atziri's Step to avoid misunderstanding.

Is there an alternative skill that this build can use other than Wild Strike? I love Wild Strike but I'm curious. Would Sunder or something like that work?

Then you'd be playing a Sunder build...

A number of passive points would be changed /omitted making it a different build namely the ele damage nodes as Sunder doesn't convert phys to ele.

Does anyone know if Merciless Lab can spawn Wild Strike enchantments on your helm? Or is that available only in Uber Lab? I prefer not to run Uber lab

Yes but the enchantment will be less potent. So 25% increase damage instead of 40% and 4 chains instead of 6 chains.

I don't like running lab either so i won't do that a lot but once I have decent gear and Izaro is doable I will run it a few times hoping to get lucky.

Im sure it has been covered but I didn't see it reading through the guide. What do you think of Point Blank? I assume you have tested it. Better single target, less clear speed? Just curious.

Edit: Also, is Acrobatics not worth just throwing one point into it since you are right there?

Oh, I didn't realize arc wasnt a projectile. Just the cold... makes sense now

I personally took Acrobatics because I like having almost every 3rd enemy hit miss me. You can also use Stibnite flasks to increase evasion.

Yeah, seems like it would be nice. Although if you were truly trying to 100% min-max then I suppose it isnt necessary right? You're going to leech back any smaller hits anyway. I will probably take it just for quality of life while mapping though.

I'm going to try this build with dual wielding swords though... a Mix of this and UmbraSoups dual striker. Seems fun so far was just testing with my lvl 90 guy on standard.

I am definitely getting Vitality Void though... I tested with and without on some high maps, especially reflect and the leech is SUPER noticably slower without it. If you have it, especially fast dual wielding... you just can't die unless one shot.

I'm new to POE, using this build, could someone explain why are the gems exactly the same both for the weapon and the chest piece? That just gives 2 identical spells - they don't stack do they? Thank you.
