[3.11] Tesla Cyclone | Destroy the Game | All Content | Super Fast! | Spin 2 Win |

So, I've been following this build for a while now, I've done the starforge, hitless, and budget versions and a bit more investment with the starforge one and i always really enjoyed it, however nowadays i'm trying out a Saviour + Paradoxica combo. Though it feels like both my survivability and damage are a bit lacking. I'd like to ask for some feedback or help in guiding this build in the right direction, if possible!

My Gear:


And here's my POB:

Any feedback/help would be appreciated! I'd just like to push this build further if possible. I don't currently have enough to afford an unnatural instinct or a Bottled Faith, though I am trying to sell a few things so I'll see, but yeah! Thanks for the awesome build!

The only time I die now is sometimes at T16 100% delirium/sims when I don't get 1-shot I am not able to recover fast enough, I can see my hp bouncing up and down between full and a half to a quarter until I die (takes 2-5 seconds most times). What can I do to get so that I don't get that happening anymore? Or is the only option to just get more hp overall?


I guess Martial experience (or similar) could help you with this.
I got a plan of cluster jewels to my char in standard (without brutality) , so dealing chaos damage , may be dismantling acro and 2-meek-unnatural triad nodes and other redundant nodes.

it should look something like:

02 force multiplier
03 grim oath
03 deep cuts
02 enduring focus
01 surefoot striker
01 precise focus
01 unspeakable gifts
01 battle hardned
01 drive destruction

souvenir:
01 blessed
01 readiness
01 antivenom

I already have a lot of critical chance/multiplier, so i am not searching for these right now.

------------------------------------------------------------

I was studiyng these cluster jewels and passives. I guess these were interesting for me :

Spoiler
attack--------------------------------------------

-deep cuts (impale)
-force multiplier (double)
-surefooted striker (double 8)

precise focus (multiplier channeling)

Iron Breaker (10% phys damage reduction)

-Unspeakable Gifts (10% chance explode) chaos
-grim oath (10% chaos as extra)
-Overwhelming Malice (10% chance unholy)

Smite the Weak (maim)

channeling---------------------------------------
-Enduring Focus (endurance charge)
-hex breaker (curse imune)

life-------------------
-Adrenaline
-drive the destruction

evasion/armour---------
-Battle-Hardened (30% evasion/armour)
-Natural Vigour (30% evasion)


resist----------------------------------
-antivenom (chaos res / no poison)
-Blessed (chaos res / life)

There are several others that are very useful, depending on your char. For my needs these called me more attention.

-------------------------------------------------------------
OBS
-------------------------------------------------------------
Spoiler
Remembering , some notables passives are prefix other suffix, sockets count as suffix.

In large jewels - e.g. - are possible 2 prefix and 2 suffix, so you can get 3 notables + socket(s). Some combos are impossible to reach, so save you currency asking only possible combos.

Any feedback/help would be appreciated! I'd just like to push this build further if possible. I don't currently have enough to afford an unnatural instinct or a Bottled Faith, though I am trying to sell a few things so I'll see, but yeah! Thanks for the awesome build!


To me you have a good char and good damage. If you want push more, may be you could give up from might of the meek setup, using these passive points in another cluster jewel, may be a medium one.

Going to critical chance/multiplier cluster jewels, more deep cuts.

And some "normal" jewel with critical chance and dual critical multiplier.

Try achieve dual curse, etc.
I played around with PoB and tried out how switching from Starforge to well rolled Saviour + Paradoxica would affect my build at lvl98. I play standard so no cluster jewels.

On passive tree I switched all the two-hand nodes to one-hand nodes and changed top right might of the meek to unnatural instinct. What I didn't do was switching all the jewels from two-hand to one-hand. This would have big influence since I have quite well rolled jewels in my two-hand setup with a lot of crit mult and crit chance.

I have ~10,2 million dps with starforge setup and it drops to ~8,2 million when I switch to one-hand setup (but remember, no jewels counted with one-hand). Unnatural instinct doesn't raise my dps with starforge, it actually goes down with it and I can't keep max resistances.

But most importantly, I guess PoB doesn't count the reflection damage which is huge part of Saviour. It's 50% of your dps so that should raise the total dps to ~12,3 million. Add the missing jewels and I guess it would raise another 1-2 million. Reflection does show on PoB but enabling/disabling it doesn't affect dps in the app. Would love to actually test this setup in the game but it's ~15ex investment and Starforge setup is already so OP that I'm not sure if it makes any sense.

Why https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Dread_Banner instead of https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/War_Banner?

We already have https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Fortify_Support linked with Cyclone for Fortify, is the impale stronger than having enemies take more damage from all sources?

Dread OR War Banner boosting our damage as well. Here is how the Banners stack up and what you should pick, depending on your playstyle:

IMO it seems Dread banner is the best one to use while mapping if you choose to never really place it. However, War Banner is still best for single target at endgame because of the adrenaline you gain for 2.5~ sec upon placing it. After making the adjustments to the PoB in it's current state with the aforementioned values we've discussed, it seems the best PURE DAMAGE results are as follows:

#1. War Banner planted (78% More modifier/impale) with Adrenaline it's 10.7m.
#2. Dread Banner (110% More modifier/impale) it's 9.75m with or without the banner planted.
#3. War banner planted, no adrenaline is 9.31m.
#4. War Banner not planted is 8.98m.

So it's pretty clear, if you don't plan on setting a banner at all - choose Dread Banner. If you plan on setting the banner and taking advantage of 2.5sec of adrenaline at boss encounters, pick war banner. Again, these are just for damage values - defensive values use your own judgement if you want to take advantage of defensive banner traits.

CharityCase, your first pob with the double cluster jewel nodes AND the acro/phase acro nodes inspired me to change my own passive tree, again.

FYI, Precise Focus is strictly better than Precise Commander. Also, you should definitely replace those medium/small clusters with a single Megalomaniac, this way you can save two passive points twice.

***

To anyone willing to try cluster jewels (you definitely should), here is what I was able to get, and why:


Mandatory on the large cluster jewel:
-A maximum of 8 added passive skills, else you'll waste passive points.
-Two added passive skills are jewel sockets.
-Deep cuts is THE node to have, boosting our dps by a substantial amount (around 15-20% more dps - only seen in pob community fork).

This leaves you with one (budget) or two more notable options:
Feed the fury
Martial Prowess
Drive the destruction (more life leech)
Surefooted Striker
etc.

Obviously, if you're dual wielding, the enchant mod on the large cluster jewel should either be 12% increased Attack Damage while Dual Wielding or 10% increased Attack Damage (this one has less notables).

On to Megalomaniacs:

This unique cluster jewel can roll any combination of 3 notables. It's more costly than the medium/small jewel combo but it allows you to save two passive points to achieve the same thing.


Mandatory notables:
-Adrenaline. More health, more leech/hit, more dps. Highly recommend to get this one on both megalomaniacs.
-Precise focus. +50% crit chance, +30% crit multiplier.

Nice to have:
-Wish for death. You have Culling Strike against Cursed Enemies. Sign me up.

So yea, that's what I tinkered with lately. Tried to sim a lot of those notables in PoB (community fork) but there's so many of them. Any contribution you can make about notables I have (surely) missed are welcome. List of notables here.

Lvl 94, 5.5k HP, still using Starforge. Killed Elder, Shaper, A7 Sirus (will try A8 tomorrow) & wave 20 simulacrum is now a breeze.
My pob: https://pastebin.com/5vakpQyW

That's it for the guide nobody asked for - pretty basic stuff but hopefully this will be useful to someone.



Hey m8. Thank you for mini guide - helped me a lot. Can you answer y you oil your amulet for rampart and not for assasionation ( crit crit multi ) for example. There is a lot survivability in Rampart, or anything else i dont understand now?

Thank you! That information would be really nice to have in the starting post, or did I repeatedly miss it somehow? ^^
