As to simulacrum, video at the front of the guide shows me completing it at the highest difficulty -before- it was nerfed.


Right, I missed that. So we can agree that we both have all-content viable builds. And I wasn't being ironic when I said that's a great build you have. Still, I prefer mine because I am a big fan of smooth gameplay. The day Warbringer Shockwave Totem can be run as smoothly as my current build, I will switch back to my Warbringer.

As for the cost of my build, nothing too fancy. Using 10 jewels on the tree, stacking totem damage, increased Area of Effect and Health regeneration. The most expensive piece of gear at the moment is probably an Against the Darkness Time-Lost Diamond with 4% increased Strength on Notables and 1% increased maximum Health on Small Passives, which is in the low 2-digit Div range unless you get a super lucky bargain. I don't have an Ingenuity belt yet, but I'm confident that RNGesus will soon bless me with some flask drops in Simulacrums to make that happen, which will boost my HP even more. When I started the build, STR stacking Shockwave Totem wasn't as big a deal as it is now, so I got a lot of gear quite cheaply. If I were to start again, it would probably be more expensive.


Yup :> and thank you.

I think Gemling will always take it for smoothness. Walking and regening is just going to be less hectic than flasking and dodge rolling, and you never have to worry about your flask being empty. I've just rather gotten used to mine and I enjoy its little gameplay loop. I also wanted to make sure that the folks following this guide understand that Warbringer is as all-content viable. Appreciate the challenge--if I can't explain how/why the build works, I shouldn't be posting a guide.

Peace

How painfully slow and boring this build is.
I had no idea such slow and boring builds exist.
It's like SRS+minions, but more slow and more boring.
Like canonically defining slow and boring.
Like someone decided to invent the definition of the slow and boring and invented this build...

I think you may have been looking for the Monk flicker-strike section and mis-typed "Warbringer totems" Wishing you all the best in finding a build that makes you happy. If Trolls are ever allowed to be happy . . .

There is a chance to get new pob2 wersion?

Once they get the bugs worked out and it is possible to import builds into POB2, would be happy to. Right now can't import and also it doesn't seem to calculate things correctly.

This build already holds several absolute records for the slowest boss kill and the slowest map cleaning. I thought nothing could beat SRS+minions on this matter, but I was so wrong... The problem with most guides I saw - those who create them are already miles and miles overgeared (including currency) and forget how painful the progress is for those who just started the game.
I mean when you do not like the playstyle why posting here to tell the people how awful it is? I mean i think its absolutely competetive. If you want to rush highspeed meta builds go ahead. You surely can do that. But accept, others dont like this attitude. Ok?

this build goes up to 1.5mil dps on bosses, and can hit a 2 screen radius for mapping. maybe not this exact build, but warbringer totems can be incredibly tanky while pumping out 7 digit dps. mine has 87% block (turtle charm), 90 fire res, 55% flat phys reduction, 20% flat reduction of everything else, 3.7k life, enfeeble blasphemy aura, etc. i can tank a 10,000+ physical 1shot, if it gets through my 7/8 block chance.

people sleep on warbringer only because they're spoiled by 1 button braindead builds that need nerfing.
Really enjoying the build so far and am doing level 9 maps at player level 75. The guide is good and reasonably thorough. I took a decade break from POE 1 and came back for POE2. I don't know why some folks expect the same clear speed with every build, I enjoy the methodical nature of the build and chose it specifically for it.

I'm not interested in trivializing all content at lightning speed, those things get old fast and essentially those builds don't get to enjoy the game, instead they are focusing on making the game a non-game. Streamers and wanna be players can do those things.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that your work has paid dividends for me and I'm hoping to get to level 90 + over the next few weeks. Maybe I'll try some of the pinnacle stuff, if there is time and I want to learn the battles. I still can't get over how common exalts are. When I last played the economy was very different, exalts were 30 chaos apiece, divines were a couple chaos, no atlas, no currency exchange, almost no crafting, etc.
