[3.19] Donkster5' LS Champ - Still great! Leaguestart to endgame SC and HC. Updated 8/18

Yea i won't be playing HC or i would have to create a new character every day, imma "get 6 portals use 6 portals" kind of person...normally that is (softcore/tradeleague)

biggest reason i felt like trying this out is also cause of "Enemies Taunted by you cannot evade Attacks" as technically it should make it easier to gear up since i could skip accuracy on gear and focus more on other mods (found accuracy a bit of a problem on Raider)

And regarding the garnered fortify is why i didn't try this before but with the new patch notes

"

Melee hits that can Fortify now generate roughly twice as many Fortification stacks as previously, based on damage dealt. Fortification generation against magic and rare monsters has been further increased.

And might get FtS/LtF over Inspirational since its quite a lifesaver specially with "Remove all Ailments and burning" and a nice buff

But guess ill mess around with it a bit and see how it goes.
Thanks for the input :)

V 3.19 Updated 8/18/22
3.19 Changes:

This build is still great. Most nerfs were easily mitigated and DPS is still very good. Omni is no longer an option for HC, and difficult to do, even in SC, but it will lead to the highest DPS if you invest into it. The following PoBs do no have an Omni version, but I will release a separate SC PoB with just an endgame tree and item set for an Omni version. Significantly higher DPS, less Tank, more SC!!!!

HC PoB: https://pobb.in/EzQuWhbcHW-a

Seems like they replaced Trinity with Cruelty from the Weaver quest rewards for Duelist. The wiki is outdated on this.

Not really a big deal since you can pick Elemental Damage With Attacks as QR instead, then buy Trinity. To clarify, the leveling guide currently suggests picking Trinity as QR in Act 2.

Great guide btw, thanks!

How do you guys handle the INT requirements? Even in the POB it says required int is > than the int the character has. Having trouble switching to claws from axe spectral helix because of this

Is there a specific atlas tree we should use or is it basically users choice ?

Are there any archnemesis mods that should be avoided?

im trying out this build and was wondering if I should continue with this version or an armour stacking one i keep seeing on ninja. Will this build have higher DPS and Def for true end game or armour stacking will be superior on both aspects?

Which builds are you referring to? I filtered by Champion and Lightning Strike and the first 15 to 20 top builds all use some sort of evasion armor.

Hello, currently playing this build for this league. And I seem to be struggling hard with DPS.

My PoB: https://pastebin.com/fUNKhGyx

Any tips on what I could improve would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Go to champion builds in poe ninja, rank them by DPS the top lightning strike DPS are all armor stackers (most of them)
