Hey guys, can I use any element on my body armour? For example extra physical damage taken as fire? Lightning coil seems like a budget option but I would prefer to not waste time and resources fixing that -60% lightning resistance issue.

I originally used

but found

to be better since its 30 instead of the 15% highest roll on the other piece (also bought another OG). With this I could drop arctic armor, get the CoH AM, and run Hatred w/ HoA. My BF avg hit went from 7500 to 14,000 (this is with all auras sitting in H/O). I had to buy pieces to make up the resistance which did become a pain in the butt, however it was worth it in the end.

These numbers are with 1 ring as pure defence, when I can find one I will add flat phys to the slot which will make it jump a lot.

Also, for whoever wants more leech, they should grab vitality void on the tree underneath Vaal Pact (also has a mana/life leech node after it which is slightly better than the mana leech node suggested in the build)

When I started making an Oni build I knew I was going to go frost-blades, but didn't know what my single target was. I didn't like playing molten strike, because you have to "miss" the boss to get full dps w/ ancestral. And it requires 2 threshold jewels. Blade flurry feels more comfortable for me. Then I saw this post and apparently someone else had a similar idea.

I was able to kill guardians and yellow elder at lv 80, but I haven't tried shaper or red elder. Big downside though is i'm using oskarm (-chaos res) and abyssus (-phys res), so chayula is super dangerous and it's hard to do breaches just in general.

A few things I think should be mentioned that OP didn't include.

1. Hatred + HoA + CoH AM seems to be the highest dps. Shaper modded ring or oskarm is an easy way to get that full setup

2. Ancestral protector totem is a huge damage boost for difficult bosses. Extra atk speed also means whirling is faster so its easier to dodge

Build is fairly strong, and cheap. PoB says atks spd > phys dmg > multi for abyss jewels. But I guess that rly depends on what ur current gear is.

My current gear at 82:

Spoiler

Glad I decided to farm a bunch of oni's (9 or so?). Got a perfect one and enough money to fund the build and then some.

I made the same conclusion of my own with Assasin's mark + Blasphemy and witching it with Hatred.

Fully buff that's what i can achieve :



The build have incredible damage, mobility and you can achieve a fair amount of tankiness with Acrobatics + Phase Acrobatics.

I killed red elder (T14) deathless and i'm on my way to Shaper.

Overral great build who can start fairly cheap and scale up easily.

Thanks for the build OP

the point of using that shaped astral is bcs it can roll a higher life roll ofcourse LC is more defensive but that can be handled with Taste of Hate and that astral, i even run Abyssus with Kaom's ftm and doing fine
