Anyone able to link their POB for higher level characters? Most of the POB builds are only showing ~90ish points allocated. Looking for direction on where to go from here.

Checking peoples build on here just craps out because the site can't handle cluster jewels.

Thanks!

It's not fully min-maxed and geared, but feel free to look at mine for a general idea: https://pastebin.com/czRfYM4s

just wondering what i should be looking to upgrade next, one of my main problems right now is survivability and trying to work in enough strength for my chest. Also could possibly change around some of my clusters, currently running a double setup right now

Hi guys

Can anyone help me please ?

Whats the next upgrade for my build?

Watcher`s eye?

Second iron cold point with corrupted of damage over time is viable ?

Thanks for helping

After doing a bunch more PoBing, I have no doubt the cluster jewel tree will deal roughly, the damage jewel tree +items. However, it's unclear, I have not gotten enough of a chance to play with them both to say the double offense is wroth the massive deference you get on anything but top tier content. Because let's face it, if you do 1,000 million DPS it doesn't real;y you doing much levels if 1 DPS projectile kills you. Struggling how to give up how to so much survivalabilty, for leveling safety. Perhaps I should just get a few more levels and then stop leveling?

Tbh, if you're not doing really juiced up stuff, you don't have to invest THAT heavy into cluster jewels. I got 2 large, 4 medium and 3 small cluster jewels, and i need that damage. If you just want to level safely, one cluster-set (large/2medium/2small) is more than enough.

You should be able to run "Flesh and Stone" in addition to your auras and take out culling strike, which is a nice idea, but not really good for us since when a mob or boss reaches 10% life, he already has so many poisons on him that he dies within seconds anyway. That should give a big defensive boost.

Sorry for the maybe dumb question - but in which stance and why?

Sand Stance, since nearby mobs are blinded and you take less dmg from mobs that are far away. Blinded means, their chance to hit is reduced by 50%. So basically, they are slowed anyway by Asenaths Temp Chains, then they have less chance to hit, but IF they hit we can dodge, and if we are unlucky we could still evade, and if everything fails, surging vitality / devouring diadem should regen life. This build has a lot of combined defenses.

Thank you for the indepth answer. It's always nice to learn something.

Maybe You could anwser another one :-)

If I use 2 "Cold Iron Point" daggers it seems that running one with "#% gain power charge on crit" seems to be better than 2 with "global critical strike chance" - at least that's what pob tells me.
Seems plausible to me as it means 120% crit chance while having 3 charges - and I guess sustain shouldn't be a problem...

Edit - and as a second question - why keep precision at level 1? Shouldn't it be as high as possible (until mana is at zero)?

Hey, i'm still working on my tanky BV build, so far i'm pretty happy with what i have.

here are the defence while potion :



I have 6k HP aiming at 6700HP level 100, plus fortify and flesh and stone, also have molten shell and vaal molten shell, with feast of flesh, life per kill, termporal chain on hit, life on spell hit, we could go on. A lot of life regen, wich is nice, usually at 500 life regen but 1k every 5 second. And still with 21m total DPS (i choose to sacrifice DPS now as i think it's enough for content, and because sextant combo + rampage is making it crazy enough).

Here is my stuff so far, still needs some improv :



You can check clusters and jewels in profile if needed (6 cluster jewels, Watcher's eye + golden rule (corrupted blood protec) combo, thread of hope, and a jewel slot). We also can switch gloves for bosses (like Sirus).

If needed i will make a thread about this version of blade vortex, took me hours dealing with PoB, i have multiples versions for now, one with no cluster for start and budget gear, one with 3 clusters mid-game mid budget, this one with 2 clusters late-game and high budget, and another one i'm working on without the diadem, aiming at 8k EHP for bosses, even if at this point, it's tweaking for nothing.

It can run any map with any mod (sill needs to be careful with phys reflect to always have potions on), wich is great, i only farm 40+ pack size corrupted maps. It's still nice to farm mine with it. A powerful build to make every content in the game, except HoGM (without modification).

Well, if you're happy with your build variation, it's ok. But i don't really see how you get to 21m non-boss DPS on PoB. it shows 14m, including cluster jewel nodes. And you're only at ~5m boss-DPS, which is next to nothing compared to 24m+ pure boss-dps, which is achievable with this build. That means big boss-fights take longer, they cast their abilities more often and you still can't facetank a Sirus-beam. It also means, you won't be able to run maps with multiple delirium orbs (or it takes forever) or clear a legion monolith while in a delirium fog.

If you want a safe-as-possible way to get to level 100, then maybe your build is better suited. But i can't imagine it is any fun at all, knowing how much damage you sacrificed for it. Btw... i managed to get to level 100 during legion by doing 5-way emblem fights, which already gave insane XP. It takes a VERY long time, even if you don't die. I had a headhunter and was nearly invincible and didn't die once from 98 to 100... still took forever and a day.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Why are you talking about leveling in Legion, or having a headhunter (wich is just usual to me). How does it give any sense to this conversation about this build ?

Why are you talking about not being able to run maps with delirium orbs without knowing based on your wrong PoB, or not being able to clear legion with delirium fog ? Have you any idea of what this build is capable of ?

If you don't find why i have 21m shaper dps on PoB, you should try to understand it before posting, and tweaking in PoB, because believe me, you made a mistake (not even talking of your 5m boss dps coming from your hat).

But because videos are still better than long talk, please explain me after looking at this, why i would wan't more DPS (Yes the map is T14 40+ pack size corrupted as i always run T14-16 in this state regardless of mods, but again, at this stupid dps and speed, tier does not matter any second).

For PoB DPS images :

Please remember it depends on a lot of things, how much poison you inflicted recently (4 past seconds, i apply 7.5 poisons per second), wither stacks, if a nearby rare or unique ennemy or more are around, and it's not even counting vaal blade vortex (14M Sirus dps for 4.2s), plague barrier, and other DPS income, not even talking of sextant combo :

Non boss 83 with withered steps 118/123 lvl 95 :


Sirus 84 with wither totem 1 frenzy/1 endurance 118/123 lvl 95 :


Tell me if i'm wrong here with configuration, or why i should focus more on DPS than that to die like a chip.

(Oh and... Yes... I'm having fun playing it)

So, guys I've been playing for a while with this build and just crafted curse + explody chest (you can tell by low res and no life). What should i aim for next? I have spare around 6ex. My ideas are:
- Dropping plague bearer for lvl 2 Precision (Is it a good idea?)
- Aspect of spider on belt
- Second Cold iron Point
- Iron point with %increased dmg over time
- Second cluster jewel tree (already kinda crafting) - here am not sure what to aim for
- Spell crit on chest
Looking for tips, what could i improve first to get biggest DPS jump.

You have asenath + Explode chest (too much to my taste), why would you play bino's ? Just take a cheap cold iron point for 10 chaos.
