Hey Norse

I'm considering running this build to start off bestiary with. Worried about how likely it'll be to get a good enough set of weapons on the first day of the league to run lab with. Do you think it'll be easy to get a high enough pdps weapon on day 1, possibly uniques?

Are uniques (scaeva, ichimonji I guess) good enough?


More importantly, with shaper rolled stat sticks out of the question what off hand would be best? Only one I can think of is doon cuebiyari, and that doesn't add too much. Any recommendations here?

Not Norse but I can answer your questions.

Any cheap unique weapon with good pdps will do, Scaeva and Ichimonji should work just fine.
Also, you probably won't be running Uber day 1, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Shaper off-hands will still be in the game, not sure why they would be out of the question.

Thanks, I'll try some runs with scaeva to see how it feels. Last time I went for uber farmer at the start of the league I did my first runs 12h in, so that's why I'm saying that shaper stat sticks are out of the question - I don't think it's reasonable to get one before that point already. Do you know of any stat sticks that aren't shaper items to use before getting one of those?

I've tested in standard 2x Grelwood Shank with dual strike (I hate bf) and tri-purity with Enlighten lvl4..
Feels really tanky doing t15 maps
I'll use it as my league starter build (tri-purity for mapping and determination for ulab)

i wanna facetank uber izaro, just like relax and afk right click. how much money do i need for that? also i wanna do uberlab service for full party. is it good idea for this build, or chieftain warchief is better?

I can't find anything about Pantheon choices here, can someone help me out please?

Any rough numbers for amount of needed armour for starting uber lab? I've seen 20k around elsewhere but I'm not sure. Would those +200 armour Grand Spectrum jewels be a cheap way to get armour to something good to start with, you'd replace them later. 1800 armour for 3 jewel sockets doesn't seem that bad.

How much depends on how patient you are. You'll need a brass dome and at least 8 end charges to reliably facetank him on any given day. If you buy a brass dome a week into the league and six-link it yourself, you can do it for a couple of exalts all total.

Mobs usually aren't the problem for full party runs; it's killing izaro and getting through traps without dying. You'll need a 6L for the deeps to kill a 6-man Izaro. Running a 20% Vitality, 20% Determination, and a Chaos Golem will help your party members survive the traps.

Arakali and Ralakesh.

Armour is important, but less so than endurance charges. You can reasonably do uber as soon as you have all of your charges and regen nodes on the tree, just remember to constantly spam enduring cry. If you get a Brass Dome or a ridiculously high armour base rare earlier than that, you could try to do lab with fewer charges.

It would really depend on what the Spectrums are going for when you're ready to do it. If they're 30c each, then it's not really worth. If they're 3c each, then go for it. 90c could be much better spent on a nice eternal burgeonet base with 700+ armour, resistances, and a fat life roll. I just did a test really quick in PoB. With 400% increased armour from the tree and a conservative level 11 Determination, the jewels would be worth about 15,000 armour total.

That's a shitload of armour for 3 jewels, but to put it into perspective, my jugg had 80,000.

How would this build fare as a league starter?

Hmm can't figure out if I should start with this in the new hc league or Lifting's AW build. I tried the AW build and it's good, but I'd like something else than totems, and something a bit more tanky than that.
So would you recommend this build for the new hardcore league or should I just stick to the AW?

Wait for patchnotes to choose your build. It's solid, but you don't know what the ascendancy will look like later on.

Good balanced build for Uber lab. It’s much stronger at navigating traps than my slayer builds have been. For hardcore leagues, the worst part of this build will be the leveling progrssion from 70-80 because elemental damage in maps/non lab zones will hurt a Jugger much more than a Slayer.
