Jugg Reave Strength Stack [3.24]

This build can do pretty much everything in the game. It is relatively cheap right now because few people are playing it, but putting everything together will still run you out upwards of 150 div.

I've been using it to farm t17 btb maps and 80%+ quant. invitations.

This build can also be played with dual strike of ambidexterity and volcanic fissure of snaking with some relatively minor alterations. If there's interest in the comments of this guide or the videos on youtube I'll write out how to switch to either.

2 Large Cluster - Cheaper set up
Level 83, 15 mil dps ,183k effective hit pool

Pros:

• Tanky
• Fast
• Good Damage

Cons:

• Expensive
• Can take a second to get going both in maps and as a build.
• Need to level as something else.

Offense
This build relies on strength stacking to get its damage. With Replica Alberon's Warpath, we gain 1 to 80 chaos damage per 50 strength.

Through the Juggernaut Ascendancy Node Undeniable, we gain accuracy rating equal to twice our strength. This is in addition to getting our strength added as accuracy through a warlord helmet mod. The accuracy rating then gives us attack speed through the same Juggernaut ascendancy node. And the elevated version of the warlord helmet modifier grants 1% increased critical strike chance per 10 strength, which gets us to about 70% crit.

With the Iron Fortress Unique armor, we convert strength's usual bonus of 1% increased melee physical damage per to 3% increased melee physical damage, a 1.5 multiplier on the usual bonus. However, as we use Replica Alberon's Warpath, which prevents us from doing anything but chaos damage, this bonus isn't useful to us yet.

The keystone Iron Will causes strength's damage bonus to apply to spell damage as well as its usual melee physical damage. We can take advantage of this by using battlemage's cry, automated with call to arms support. Battlemage's cry causes increases and reductions to spell damage to also apply to attacks. We can therefore take full advantage of strength stacking.

Defense
Strength stacking gives us a an extreme amount of life, as every 2 strength grants 1 life, which means we end up with life in the high 5k to low 6k range.

Using an Impossible Escape unique jewel for Imbalanced Guard, we can get +3% max res.

The Juggernaut ascendancy node Unstoppable prevents any action speed slows.

Purity of Elements grants immunity to elemental ailments and a good amount of all res. Further, we can get a good amount of chaos res. through a Watcher's Eye mod for the aura.

The Ascendancy node Unflinching gives us endurance charges, which significantly reduce physical damage from hits.

The Ascendancy node Unbreakable doubles the armour granted by our body armour and causes 8% of armour to apply to elemental damage from hits. This is a gigantic defensive layer as it causes a flat reduction in any elemental damage we take.

With a flask suffix and Mageblood, we can regenerate a net 400 life per second, deducting the degen from blood rage.

With a few points on the tree and the instant leech mastery, we can hit 2k leech.

The Iron Fortress armour also enables us to cap our attack block, providing a solid way to shrug off damage.

You can combine these in a bunch of different ways, just make sure the core links remain constant.

• Battlemage's cry - Call to Arms Support
This is a super important aspect of our build. Over half the damage comes from this set up. See the mechanics section to learn why.
• Leap slam
Leap slam feels great as a movement skill with all the attack speed we get.
• Automation - Blood Rage - Molten Shell
Automation keeps Blood Rage running constantly and Molten Shell up pretty frequently, providing good defenses and damage.
• Ancestral Protector - Vaal Ancestral Warchief - Multiple Totems Support
These totems are pretty much mandatory for melee builds (please change GGG). They feel good to throw down on bosses where you encounter mobs in advance.
• Precision - Arrogance
We have to reserve our life for precision because it would take too much mana. Precision's accuracy rating and critical strike give big damage.
• Assassin's Mark - Mark on Hit (double check you have adequate mana to trigger this)
• Enlighten (at least level 3) - Purity of Elements - Blood and Sand - Determination
• Reave - Multistrike - Awakened Void Manipulation - Fortify - Increased Critical Strike Damage - Volatility
Volatility is a great support because we have a large damage spread from Replica Alberon's. Multistrike feels pretty good with the attack speed we have. Fortify provides an excellent defensive layer.

Unbreakable and Undeniable are must-haves.

Unflinching gives good physical damage reduction and overcaps resistances. Overcapepd resistances are good if you're doing content that has a lot of monsters that apply exposure like ultimatum or delirium.

Unstoppable prevents any slows from affecting you. I love this node because there are so many slows in modern poe.

However, you can switch Unstoppable out for Untiring for the regen, which can provide a solid defensive layer. I recommend making this switch if you want to farm t17s as the extra regen feels great and you can roll them to avoid action speed loss.
