3.11 - Stress-Free PoE! TRIGGER HAPPY: No Required Items! 1-Button Play! SSF League Start-End!
"That's odd Jayaa. I'd contact support. Thanks for taking the time to work around it and posting your gear. I'm sorry you had to wait so long for a response. Upgrade your weapon first. It's a nice yellow map weapon. Look for both a high flat physical damage roll and an increase of 170%+ increased physical damage. You'll notice the improvement right away. Your accessories are all offence. That's ok if your survivability is up to your standards. But after you've improved your weapon, play around with offence or defence within your accessories. You want 75+ life rolls on them for sure. Same goes with your boots. Life rolls on everything. After you have nice high life on all your gear, then you can look at min/maxing with Steel Rings, Rustic Sashes (though your belt is sexy...I'd probably keep it), Spiked Gloves, and Influenced Items. Or start looking for those items now, but don't ignore life rolls. I hope that helps. Do the weapon first (of course that may take time). Then play with the rest. Thanks again for your patience. Sorry it took so long. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

"Nice job Deckweiss! I love seeing how other players go about these guides. Thanks! It looks great! I sometimes find I don't like switching stances too. There's nothing wrong with playing in Bloodstance the whole time. Clear would be a little slower but it's a lot less meddling too. Thanks again! https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Jul 10, 2020, 2:36:28 PM

"Thanks Tutori! I'm glad you're liking the build! 10FPS hey? Sounds like you're pretty limited in what you can play. This would work for sure! Maybe an aggressive zombie build or something as well so they can kill while your computer catches up. Thanks for your kindness. Regarding legions, this build kinda sucks. It doesn't suck in the battles, it thrives in the battles! But to unlock the battles...we need to get hit to get our damage bonuses up. So since those "statues" don't hit...we're kinda at a stale mate. Sorry. I've been thinking of how to change this since Legion but the tree spreads us really thin trying to get max block %s. So I just run to the big enemies with rewards and wack them and hope I unlock them. You could also lure a big group of enemies into the statues and see if that helps. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

"Thanks for the honest reply NaifanChen! I'm glad you enjoy the build. I'm sorry it fell flat for you. Regarding DOT skills, anytime someone chooses a Block build, they'll know, or learn quickly that they can't block DOT skills. So blocking builds have their pros and cons for sure. Any DOT skills used by bosses can't be blocked since those skills don't Hit so as we gain experience with bosses, it's just something to avoid if you're doing any block build. POE's endgame content requires lots of familiarities. And even if you've been there lots, different builds play different ways around them. It's tricky to watch out for different things as you switch builds up over time. I'm glad the build carried you as far as it did. Unless you want to respec no matter what, you could try a couple of upgrades first and see if that helps your DPS expectations. (But, by all means, do what you like.) - You have an awesome flat damage roll on your weapon but an ok % roll. A higher % roll would have a huge impact on your damage output. The weapon's implicit doesn't help much of course so that's a min/max thing at some point. - Your accessories are all defence focused (nothing wrong with that unless you want more damage). I like your belt for sure so it'd be a hard choice between that and a nicely rolled Rustic Sash. But your rings and amulets can have more offence fore sure (even and defensively rolled Steel Rings would help). - I know they can be crazy to find/craft, but a 6 link would be a substantial difference maker (which of course you know). Anyway, the build and gear look awesome! You've done a great job! I just included the suggestions in case you weren't looking forward to a respec. Thanks again for your honesty. Hopefully, it improves for you! https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

I can't do incursion with this build with just the first ascendancy so far.

I caught that wiff of ice crash on the opening page and thought I could maybe just replace bladestorm. Turns out that since I'm only ever dealing physical damage, that's dramatically bad to do. NOW. I was still murdering everything that I blocked (or didn't block) but was confused till I figured it out that ice crash was doing 0. Ha. I presume it'd take a whole lot of movement on the tree to get to a point where it'd work properly.
Wrecker- thanks for the amazing guide. Can I make one suggestion? I don't think the video guide for this, doing death and taxes, really captures the feel of wading into a map and seeing everything around you break itself upon you. Is the best. Again though, thanks for all the time you put into these. |

Hi, thank you for the build. As usual, easy to follow
Just a little question : Why dont you take iron reflex? It's really close by, make us get hit more often (so we can parry and proc vengeance) and open all the evasion and hybrid gear for an even easyer gearing Since evasion is applied before block... Also, i'm a big fan of tempest shield but i find the ability to dash on a group of ranged mob to proc all our retaliation directly on them is a bit more useful so i think i'll go dash/second wind/warcry on the last 3 socket Last edited by Krël#0215 on Jul 11, 2020, 2:47:34 AM

Why do we not use The Surrender for lvl30 Reckoning and also no movement skill?

" I try a retalation build almost every league and from my experience so far i find that there is a tedious part in leveling before you get the 2nd ascendancy (that allow you to block spell) especially since it last quite long and at the same time that the difficulty ramp up, act 6. This time i picked challenger charge first to ease it and it seems to work well. Your weapon is..not that great. You have a lot of added ele damage so you should probably take off brutality from your retalialtion skills until you get a better gear. Or replace it with elemental damage with attack if you want to continue scaling flat elemental damage | |
"Hey XanTheInsane! Definitely look at improving your weapon. All melee characters need to be constantly prowling for an upgrade. Even for level 55, the weapon that is currently equipped should be replaced as soon as possible. Obviously a weapon needs to drop for that to happen...But I'm sure you'll find a huge improvement upon your next proper upgrade. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast
