Hi, I am new to this game and this is my second season on PoE. I am currently playing your build and having a blast. But I also saw Mathil's templar SST build today, and I was wondering about the %elemental damage + elemental Penetration compared to your build, what are some of the pros and cons between the two ascendancy choices (Mathil version versus yours)?

Also, some advice for gearing will be greatly appreciated.

Would also like to hear people's opinion on this that have more experience than i do.

Haven't had a chance to check out Mathil's build. I've been planning this one since before the skill came out and what I can do is tell you what mine brings to the table.

Culling Strike
Phys reflect immunity
Slayer overleech (insane survivability)
Ability to use Blood Rage + Damage On Full Life (OP)
Perma-Onslaught from Raider Ascendancy + Frenzy charge generation on bosses.
Generic damage, Generic damage, Generic damage, and more Generic damage!!!!
Passive Points, Passive Points, Passive Points, and more Passive Points!!!!
Insane Tree Range:

Making 2 Might of the meeks unique jewels the equivalent to 3 perfectly rolled 4-mod rare jewels:


Flexiblity: Ability to pick raider/deadeye/Pathfinder as 2nd Ascendancy depending on your choosing/playstyle.

In short: Speed, survivability, damage, flexibility, and the ability to massively scale damage into the endgame.

What do you think I should upgrade first? I do have some currencies lying around. Beastiary SC

Hrimburn gloves. You only have 40% cold conversion without Hrimburn or Phys to Lightning Support. You should only lose some life, but gain damage and cold resist.
Primal Spirit instead of Druidic Rites for extra INT.
Change the extra crit chance after Assassination to Weapon Artistry.
I don't see a way to remove freeze. If you have no way, get freeze removal on Granite or get a Sulphur instead for more damage.
Not sure what the Anger Support is for in weapon. You can put Ice Golem in weapon and add Blood Magic to Shield Charge if you want.
Can try to 21/20 some gems like Hatred and totem.
2nd Might of the Meek.
Helm enchant. Are you using Lightpoacher's for mapping or just Stark's for everything?

I do have lightpoacher for mapping yeah, and reason for anti-freeze flask was because I was doing shaper guardians earlier and forgot to change back. Anger was for when I grouped up with friends in maps to get some extra damage.

I also leveled up a phys to lightning which should be in the offset. And I'll do some lab runs when I have more free time.

Thanks alot for the advice man!

I would still use Hrimburn over PtL. Winter Spirit adds cold damage that is unaffected by PtL. And being able to use Crit Strike for mapping or Elemental Focus for bosses should net a lot more damage than your gloves will give. You also get that little bit of damage from cold Ignite.

If you were in a situation where you needed Gripped Gloves for resists, I'd advise to stick with PtL, but luckily you have enough resists on your gear to not need them.

Cheaper to buy our helm enchants for now:
Stark's

Lightpoacher's

Levelled a character with this build from 1 to 70 so far, why the fuck is this so good

SST stops being clunky the moment you get some serious IAS and chain, this shit is ridiculous

Top notch build haha

Only struggle so far is knowing the order of the gear upgrades. Is it better to ditch Ewar's Mirage at lv 77 (so I can still get the chain from the necklace) to use an elder dagger? Or continue using Ewar's Mirage and get an elder amulet?

Yeah shaper dagger/sword/weapon will be the single biggest damage upgrade you can get. Using chain neck for maps and swapping for an elder ammy for bosses is a good way to handle it.

When it's all said and done, you will have shaper stat stick weapon, elder amulet, and you'll use chain in your 6l, swapping it for hypothermia or slow proj on bosses that can't be chilled

Got my last memory fragment yesterday t15 elder was no problem at all with 200k tooltip dps(auras and golem) and 6k life. I am still using cold pen instead of slow proj/fork for everything caues it's only 1% less dmg for me.
Great guide having a blast with SST.
