3.10 🔨 Torstein's Icebreaker - Glacial Hammer - Sleeper end-game crusher - Cluster updated

Heya! This build looks quite interesting, wanna try it as league starter in Delirium+always wanted to try Glacial Hammer. Also i like that your choice of Ascendancy points on Berserker
The only thing i'll change is use manually Wave of Conviction(got Cold Exposure anyway cause cold conversion+Hatred+Herald)+CoH+Frostbite instead of CWDT+FrostBomb+Frostbite, but it's just a personal preference

I still don't get one thing in PoB: Why you got Phys to Light linked in Leap Slam

From the "Gem Links" section of the guide:

"

Although Glacial Hammer has 100% Cold conversion Leap Slam has so much physical damage that I regularly killed myself on phys reflect maps. To avoid that Physical to Lightning level 1 gem is linked to Leap Slam to convert 50% of Phys to Lightning.

^^From Tempered Flesh jewel and 80 unallocated strength in radius
15% more damage
^^From War Bringer ascendancy notable

If i'm using LocalIdentity's latest fork, are any of the custom edits redundant? I don't want to overstate DPS so it'd be nice to understand which of these are required simply because PoB won't ever be able to calculate it or if recent fork's have fixed it.

Thanks!

I'm not sure what's that :/

Apologies, it's for PoB. Since the original dev of PoB stopped supporting it, LocalIdentiity (and many other contributors) have continued working on a fork of the original PoB code. So a lot of things that the original PoB never calculated because the game continued to evolved have been fixed in the forked version of PoB.

Therefore, if the custom mods you were adding in PoB are because you're using the old PoB, when you import your build into the forked PoB it will double count any of your custom mods that have been fixed.

For instance, i'm pretty sure that the forked PoB correctly calculates the crit strike multi from Tempered Flesh so if i don't remove your custom mod then it is effectively double counting.

Does that make sense? Here's the latest build of his PoB: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/f9fmf5/localidentitys_path_of_building_v141575_fork_can/

Aha i get it. I'm using the regular one.

So, in my PoB total dps is 5,270,000 Shaper dps with my editing/corrections.
I edited body armour with this:

22% more damage
^^Multistrike calculation correction
+56% to critical strike multiplier
^^From Tempered Flesh jewel and 80 unallocated strength in radius
15% more damage
^^From War Bringer ascendancy notable

Not sure what works in your PoB but when you match it to my dps you're at the right calculation.
Let 5.270.000 dps be a reference for my pastebin.

Also I manually made Glorious Vanity in the name of Doryani. So the total life in my PoB is 6.205 and ES 2.554

I didn't know original creator of PoB stopped supporting it, i'm still getting updates.

Oh, didn't noticed it, sry. And thanks for clarification

Openarl created the original PoB, i think he still updates it, just less frequently which is why I switched to LocalIdentity's fork.

So in the forked version Timeless jewels still don't change the passive tree correctly so I needed to keep your modded version in order to get the correct life and ES. The other mods are calculated correctly so I removed them from your armor piece and come out to 5.2M Shaper DPS so we're all good.

Thanks for the help (and the build guide!), I'm super excited to give this a go as a league starter pending what's in the patch notes for 3.10. I'm planning to level with at least 1 or 2 other people, in your opinion will that make leveling this build more comfortable?

I just have to advise that this is not ideal league starter because of two reasons:
1. you will progress slower than with spells since they scale good with just gem levels
2. requires completed uber lab to really kick off

Having some synergy with teammates would be great for your joint progression.
It doable just not as easy as with spells. Although i advised against league starting in Metamorph with Icebreaker, many did it anyway and did fine. xD

GL & HF in Delirium! :)

Hello Torstein,

I just want to say thank you for the wonderful builds.

This league was my first one (started mid January, playing on PS4, since my rather old laptop has some small aversion to PoE), and after trying quite a few different builds to lvl 30-40 to get a feel for them, I landed on your guides.

I have to say, they are wonderfull. I initially started with your PS PF, and it was the first char to get to maps. So thank you for that!

Now, since there is not a lot of time left, I gave this Glacial Hammer zerker a try, since i had the currency to get some levelling gear, and I have to say that sometime I just melt bosses and I am left wondering where that damage came from. :)

For Delirium, I will also try to league start with the glacial hammer build. I know you said that it is not recommended, but you also said:

"

It's viable but i'm not gonna push you into league start with it saying it will kicks ass leveling, but if you want, go for it. Honey Badgers don't give a s*it. xD

So there! xD

I hope that you will manage to update the build(s) for Delirium, or create other awesome builds like these ones.

That's it! No questions, no comments, just a heartfelt Thank You!

Have a nice day,
Smmogz
