[3.1] Firestorm Leech Tank
|
How did you manage to get "Firestorm Duration" AND "Boneoffering block" on your helmet?
I'm camping poe.trade since weeks, and I didn't see a single one x) Last edited by Mediv88#2395 on Jan 20, 2018, 11:12:19 AM

" I bought a Hrimnor helmet a couple of weeks ago with +6 Bone Offering block enchant, but it was the only one on trade at that time. Its pure luck should you ever find another Hrimnor helmet with these enchants. In case you go for a different one, you will miss the most important thing, the immunity to chill and frozen (and the little extra damage ofc). If you cant get the enchant, i would try to use a higher lvl Bone Offering to get max block again. But i wouldnt use a lvl 20 CwDT without having like 7k life just in case. |

It's fine without the enchant.
I killed hardest content already (uber atziri, shaper, chayula, red elder) Currently I'm farming Chimera with Biscus and flamability. Just wondering how you managed to get them, since im kinda jelly. If I should every make this build again, I have to hunt poe.trade very early in league, or make a lab farmer :D Also just noticed that double vitality watcher's eye :O gimme |

" just poe.trade camping and some luck " as much as i like this build, i am willing to play something else just for diversity sake. but every other build i've tried so far just feels off, either way too squishy or does no damage. if you find something that plays well after this one, do post it here. as far as lab farming goes, it's never been easier with this version of the build. the regen allows you to sleepwalk through the traps, izaro melts in seconds and you can get decent run speed with flesh offering. |

" Yes lab on its own is very easy with that build. But still there are builds which are way faster. So if I ever would go for the trouble to grind one specific helmet enchant (luckily there are 3 here), I would go with something like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCZgP6cbKWg " There are some which are better on specific jobs (e.g. Windripper tornado shot - maps about twice as fast). But I also struggle to find another build which can be a good at lab/mapping, awesome at tanking/killing endgame bosses and fun. Next season they will rework all acendencies, lets see what suprises await. |

" Ive played and tested tons of builds and the only one that came close to this one was a 15k ES Chaos Firestorm build which is pretty much dead by now due to all the nerfs since 2.6. I havent played a build that is tankier than this one and still doesent feel slow. Usually i play alot of builds every league (10 last time) and stop before level 90 because i am getting bored. Now i am level 92, just hit 7k life without Belly and Xoph, and still have fun playing. I havent touched another build this time since i cant think of a better one. It will be very hard to find a similar build next league and i have no idea how it could look like. The rework of the ascendencies will hopefully make room for completely new concepts. |

" missing life rolls on the gloves and one of the rings, boots and amulet life rolls are very low. no cast speed on the weapon. you should also take at least a couple of jewel slots and start using jewels, they can be very powerful. |
|
" Anything with adds x to y fire damage or adds x to y fire damage to attacks doesent help you at all. Both are only useful for attacks, not spells (like Firestorm). They are useless on your weapon, unset ring and amulet. Even increased lightning damage or adds x to y lightning damage to spells doesent help that much since you have 0 scaling from tree and 0 lightning penetration, means it doesent do much against bosses. I would replace your weapon first, i saw a better one for 1c on standard. You only need life and add x to y fire damage to spells on your jewels. Do not worry about the expensive Belly or Xoph, even without them you can do great. |

I thought this build is super tanky until i realized that just the right mod combinations can kill you easily and i am not even talking about things like Hexproof, no regen, no leech and stuff like that.
You just need a T14 Palace map with a combination of Enfeeble, Vulnerability and 50% more cast and attack time beside a few other things. The map felt very safe until the boss teleported next to me and before he could end his "Touch of God" i was oneshoted. Ok, that went fast but next time i will be quicker. Well, again he teleported next to me and right away i was oneshoted again, it was pathetic. Another thing i didnt expect was how it feels to die 2 times in a row at lvl 92, the lost in xp is quite a motivation killer. When it comes to a tanky build for the next league, what do you think of the interaction of CwDT, Unearth, Greater Multi and Spirit Offering in a Life/ES based build. This is like a big heal everytime you get hit. Have a look at https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2077712. I can already see the nerfs coming. |
