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

I can do all guardians pretty well but i have not managed to kill shaper yet. Eventually there are so many of those balls covering the ground. I think i don't pull enough dps but i'm not sure.

Chimera is hard when he hides in the smoke clouds. I die every other map during that phase. Not that i really care much if i die. I can still finish the fight with 1-2 portals used out of 6 just trying to find ways to survive that aka a deathless run.

I think a good trick is to bring 2-3 copies of vaal summon skeletons and save one for each phase.

Overall i am pretty satisfied with how my two week build turned out. The only expensive thing is kaom's heart and that item is just a luxury item not even needed. Very low budget for a good guardian farming build. Very good for lab farming as well. I did quite a bit of that too in turmoil.

If i would play this build again i would replace this helm with something better.


65 dex = Not needed. We have an overflow of dex.
10% reduced physical damage = Not so good
16% attack speed = This is ok
x% Chaos res = Good but can get the same on a rare helm
20% move speed = Not using this. I move with leap slam.

The only good thing is the attack speed. I think i will roll with The gull unique helmet if i do this build again. The mini shrines are much better and they work everywhere! Even in guardian fights.

The best thing i did in turmoil was replace my boots with

Stun/freeze immunity. The two things that killed me the most. No longer have to worry about bringing an anti freeze flask anymore.

A non corrupted one with a good enchantment would be win but i had no luck getting that.

This one i used instead of kaom on maps with those crazy crit mods.


With brass dome and kaom roots it was possible to do all those maps with nice pack size but dreadful mods i usually reroll. Temp chains + chilled ground + monsters have 300% crit multi and crit strike chance and so on.

I didn't bother getting that wise oak flask. No way i can be arsed sitting on poe.trade for hours every day trying to get those resistances perfectly aligned so the flask will actually work. What a total disaster of a flask. I hope that is some day changed so that it can be made to work easier for builds that use all three elements.

That was my journey in the two week race. Maybe someone will find something useful. I just felt like writing this while browsing for builds i wanna try in 3.0

See you in Oriath exiles!

Nice writeup.

The main reason I use Devoto's is the movement and attack speed. In beta I used Starkonjas and will probably do so again in Harbringer league.

When doing Chimera just have Rumi's flask with you and his hits, in fog phase, will just tickle you.

I personally only use Kaoms Roots on Tier 16+ but then again I travel on foot :)

Anyway I'm glad you had fun with the build and if you play it again this league do keep us posted on your progress.

You save me .. Im so not up to date with all the new changes and was looking for something to get me motivated to play ,different and hardcore viable. Im so PUMP now,this looks fun and refreshing for me.

Started Legacy with about 3 weeks left to get ready for 3.0 as I haven't played in a few years. Ran this build to 91 and was impressed with how much fun this build was. Only thing I had a few questions on is in your Gem setup (In the Videos) You are self-casting the Golem. Which is sitting in with the CWDT>Immortal Call>Molten Shell setup but the Max level is keeping it from being auto cast by the lvl 19 CWDT.

So I guess I am confused by a few of the Gem selections and if you have updated these layouts at all in comparison to what is on the gear section. Assuming the same gear wouldn't CWDT>Immortal Call>Molten Shell>Inc Duration be better. While Moving the Golem gem with Hatred>Herald of Ash>Vaal Haste as these dont need a link anyway. With the last setup maybe being Leap Slam>Faster Attacks>Fortify>Ancestral Warchief? Therefore Faster Attacks benifiting both the totem and Leap Slam for movement..? Or have I been gone so long I am just lost entirely haha.

Thanks again for the build I am looking forward to getting this going again tomorrow. Now let's keep this quiet so the gear stays reasonably affordable!

What about Avatar of Fire with the fire axe to give you 100% fire damage? Would that work well if you are trying to max out fire damage? (Playing with wife who is going fire damage golemancer)

Thanks!

wild strike deals damage of all three elemental types. avatar of fire only converts 50% of cold and lightning so you will deal reduced damage i think unless i am completely wrong here. then again you can always use a different attack than wild strike if you want to use avatar of fire i suppose.

i replaced lightning golem with vaal lightning trap for shaper/guardian. the golem is dead 100% of the time in there.

vaal haste/lightning golem are nice for mapping but useless for shaper/guardian.

There isn't much room for gems when wearing Kaoms. Also with the gear being Dex based, good luck getting 4R :)

It took me tons of chromes to get 3R1B on my helmet. Also my gloves are corrupted wich makes it a hassle to re-chrome them. When you get the grasp of the build you should move the gem links around as it fits for you.

Counting the hours at work. Can't wait to get going :)

Nice build
i will play this build in new league

So Ngaumhs Flame Axe only converts 50% of physical damage to fire (not all damage). So it looks like you are right and you would lose damage by doing AoF with wild strike.

Is infernal blow viable with this build? What other skill converts damage to fire?

(New player here, thanks!)
