[3.17] Hybrid's Molten Strike Jugg - Hold right click to TANK anything |MELT the Atlas|Divine Flesh|

Thx for the build, I love it ! So tanky and fun to play running along maps with WB and throwing fire everywhere.

On some harder bosses, I followed this advice, and feel even tankier, with only a reasonable loss of DPS (I even found a watcher with +26 life on hit AND an additive +135 life per sec regen under vita too !) :

For Single Bosses I opted for Vitality Aura instead of Ash Aura with this since it's safer(Got me to 50hp Leech/ball).

(was very cheap). Even Face Tanked Cortex Map with it. Considering Anti-Shocked Ground boots though to avoid boss one-taps(50% is scary).

Hello guys, this is my Molten strike jugg, i made some little changes:
my base DPS is 96K damage with molten strike.

I miss only a good enchantment on the helm about molten strike / anger mana resereved / attack speed

What do you think about it ? In your opinion do I have some chance to improve it ?

I hit 9.3k of life, 1400 regen life

Is this viable as a starter in new league or too many specific gearrequired to start?

No, it is very much not.. this has become a "standard" build.. I employed a massive IAS boost aid my mapping.. I should of listened to my seasoned friends, ultimately saying it wasn't viable anymore, stubbornness got the best of me.. good thing I only just started playing in early august.

Have to say I got this to 80 with the gear recommended and it's not very good.
Sure damage is ok but it just doesn't survive. This was only in a tier 5 map too.

For example I got a scion to lvl 70 and used whispering ice int stacking...much more survivable as I jumped straight into t16 maps at lvl 70 surviving better than this jug built at lvl 80 in a t5 lolol.

Why is your guys so tanky and how are you calling the a8 sirus afk lmao...he nearly 1 shots you as you are doing the mechanic..

I recommend not playing this build if you're considering it.

So I've been playing this build for a long time now. I would say I have mid-tier gear, nothing too special. I have to say that if you think you will be able to take on Sirus A8 without a really good helmet with this build, you probably will die.

Unless you are really good at the mechanics of Sirus, A8 is too hard for this build with mid-tier gear.

The problem? low dps on phase 3. The phase goes on for way too long with a chance to die every few seconds in that fight you want it ended as soon as possible.

The solution would be to get a helm with 30% ele dmg on it, as well as 20 immolate and conc effect, but good luck with that, super hard to make, and super expensive to buy.

Don't be fooled into thinking you can take on A8 Sirus with just a immolate, conc effect helmet and no helm enchant. you will be fighting him for way too long in phase 3 and will lose all your portals like I have multiple times now.

So was the build nerfed to the ground or what happened?

It's not too bad to make the helmet without the ele damage but overall there are much better builds.

This was by far the worst build I played out of 4 builds this league.

The molten strike +3 helmet etheral lab enchant got nerfed and back then.. I think you could literally had like a 1 in 250 chance to get it? Now its like 1 in 1500 or 1600 or whatever lol.. best you get is MS +2 on helm now anyway.

I'm almost 96 ATM doing T16 130+% corrupted maps pretty easily.. I did this by..massive IAS which has made me very happy but literally sitting in town with 208%+ attack speed modifier took some serious effort had to make it what it is.. I took all my nodes off life -700hp still sitting @low 8k.

I slightly altered the tree for more dps..using jewel slots for 7% increase max life/w IAS and fire dmg(easier these then endgame 700 exalt BIS items) changed some gems around.. I dunno if my tree or character is public to see cuz this is literally my first build in poe past lvl 65 back when there was only 4 acts?

The problem is the cost of end game gear is more geared towards long term on standard.. cuz mid-tier harvest like the others posted is just kinda ehh... the guy that was selling a double anger unique watchers eye or whatever it is wants some 2 mirrors for it?!? So thats...700ish ex's like FUKKKK m8... maybe some of you got super lucky.. but the BIS helm I could find on league was.. 1 mirror.. so ya.. not possible in harvest.. unless you don't have a job and no bills and can no life the game this build has to be changed to fit harvest.. and I chose IAS dump.

I like what I've done im happy with it, my friends used to laugh at my dps now they are slightly impressed with my leech and IAS killing large packs ect.
