You know that such an Aegis Aurora build has been around for like .. 3 months or even longer?

Doesn't make his point moot, thou.
He probably had fun coming up with it himself. :D

I know exactly how long it has been about since I know when I made it and I know when others copied me..

do you think all this gear was just handed to me? or I bought a bunch of exalts and bought it all over night?

Funny, I checked your recent history YOU were the one calling others "elitist". now that's something to "LMFAO" over.

I have a great build, but I am afraid to post it on the chance that it may get nerfed :/

Character name: Probird

Ninja Bird Build

This build is based on clearing extremely fast high dps + survivability. Leap slam is used to move arround fast. Currently I am level 91 and haven't died many times when i knew the basics. It's based on the uniques: Soul taker & Bringer of rain. I have killed all the bosses in any map. The build is also able to counter reflect. The build is also able to kill piety in the 77 map and also the boss in Crematorium with -max resist. Bringer of rain will also make enemies blinded, but it won't work if you have Unwavering Stance. This build is also viable as hardcore / nemesis you will have less attack and attack speed and more life and armour.



The Passive Tree's:




Bandits

Normal
help oak = 40 base life
Cruel
help oak= 18% physical damage / help kraityn = 8% attack speed
Merciless
Help oak = 1 endurance charge / If you dont like the endurance charge you can kill all the bandits in merciless (like I did). Although for hardcore endurance charge would be better.

Gems

Cast when damage taken + decoy totem + molten shell
Faster attacks + leap slam+ purity of fire / determination (you can swap leap slam out with reduce mana when you need to use one of the auras)
Cast when damage taken + Enduring Cry + Cast when damage taken
Haste + Hatred + Grace + reduced mana

In the bringer of rain:
Multistrike - dual strike - added fire damage - melee splash

You can also use a tabula to level 6 gems in but you can't use them

Leveling

For leveling I suggest using cleave untill you can use multistrike + melee splash + dual strike + added fire (or life leech / blood magic if you got good gear or a 5link) the wurms molt belt or using blood magic untill you have soul taker. With blood magic gem you will be able to run auras


Tips & Tricks:

When facing physical reflect:
Use grace + Determination instead of the dps auras and swap added fire gem with life leech. Use a granite flask with + armour roll when facing big packs of mobs or dual reflect.

Countering bleeds + puntcure:

Using an instant potion with remove bleeding to remove bleeding.

Countering shock stacks:

Using an instant potion with remove shock.

Countering beeing frozen:

Using an instant potion with remove frozen.

Handeling elemental weakness:

Always try to have 40% over resistance or use an item to swap to fix the missing resistances: I am using another pair of gloves(listed below) to fix my resistance on ele weakness so I just use these gloves when the map has elemental weakness curse.

Killing piety in 77 Shrine:

When you have enough int you could run purity of lightning aura + hatred to add extra lightning resists and I suggest using saffell's farme branded kite shield + stone of lazhwar lapis amulet to increase block chance to spells and max resist. You will have to swap dual strike with double strike. Also use a Topaz flask to increase maximum lightning resistance.

Killing 76 map crematorium boss:

Use purity of fire + hatred and saffell's frame + stone of lashwar to increase your max fire res. Swap dual strike with dou8ble strike. Also use a ruby flask to increase maximum fire resistance.

Killing the 3 bosses in Courtyard 78 map
These 3 bosses need to be kited for this build, swap dual strike with LMP and swap melee splash with lightning strike. This way you can kite the bosses and you don't have to go near them to hit them with your lightning strike

Screenshots

Grace+ Determation + 4 enduring charges (with granite armour is even higher)
With these auras I have 39260 dps and 5400 life

Hatred + haste 52k dps and 5400 life

With hatred + grace I have 49086 dps and 5400 life

Saffels frame + stone of lazhwar (resistances) + purity of fire and hatred with double strike:
83% fire resistances 93% when using ruby flask and 25000 double strike dps and 5200 life



My gear:

Any questions let me know :)

+1 to Xtermination build... been watching him stream and I like the mechanics and tricks he uses...

Solid 50k aoe without killing yourself to reflect.

Defintetely the most interesting high damage build iw seen for months.


ps. Try this with legacy soul taker :P

Episode 3 Build of the Week Submission: PURE POWER


BUILD: TIURAKH'S MELEE RANGER (EVASION + MAX BLOCK + MAX SPELL BLOCK)


Full In-Depth Guide (with much more detail on the build): http://goo.gl/di4jC3

"

Episode 3 is about pure power. Submit a build that trivialises our hardest content. We're looking for characters that dominate high-level Maps and use interesting combos to do so.

I hope this build encourages more people to try damage avoidance builds and concepts.


CHARACTER:





CONCEPT OF THE BUILD:

- Melee evasion-based build that scales well and is effective throughout the game with high DPS
- Defensive focus: a) prioritize damage avoidance (high evasion, near maximum block, near maximum spell block), b) mitigate damage effectively through defenses that scale well (enfeeble, endurance charges, immortal call, high resistances), c) rapidly regenerate life (Life Gain on Hit with extreme attack speed, life % regeneration)
- Optional to incorporate Dodge and Spell Dodge, but is not necessary
- Build is also relatively inexpensive: core gear pieces are Bringer of Rain + Stone of Lazhwar. Does NOT require Soul Taker.



INTERESTING COMBINATIONS USED - Damage Avoidance Synergies:


Enfeeble


+

Blind


+

Evasion


+

Block (near max Block and max Spell Block attained simultaneously)




Near maximum Block and maximum Spell Block attained through passive tree and by combining Stone of Lazhwar + Rathpith Globe:




Please see guide for additional combinations including support links for trigger gem Cast When Damage Taken.

PASSIVE TREE:

Tree is flexible and can work with different melee weapons (axes, daggers & swords etc).

It emphasizes high defenses from evasion, shield blocking, +Life, high attack speed, and very high attack damage.
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIBAtAEfgSxBukILgkhER4RLxXwGtsbrRvIIQMmlSdhKCowVDB8MgE4ljpYOrM94kMxR35I7kp9TGBOKlFHU99VS1b6WNtbr14TYeJlTWXwZfFnoG17bml0QXSudO11TnfXeK55SHrvfXV_K4TZhO-HGYd2h9uNfY2_kAqUrZVmmSuZV5mamyabg5uNpn-qf6q4q8Wsr6_rsbOyGbVItkG297cXt9O7fL2BvqfDhs3qz3rS6tN-1orXy9o921XdDd7253TnkejW6xTrY-1B7g75Y_zF_ro=

Notable passive nodes are:

Ondar's Guile

Doubles chance to evade projectile attacks. Grants extreme evasiveness vs. projectile attacks. Great against chaos projectile attacks and Piety's ice arrows.


Revenge of the Hunted

4% increased physical damage, 16% increased evasion rating, 10% increased maximum life. Strong node near Ranger start giving damage, increased evasion, and large increase to life all in one.


Aspect of the Panther

16% increased 1H physical damage, 6% increased 1H attack speed, +10 to maximum life, 4% increased movement speed. Very strong DPS node giving some survivability as well.


Heart of Oak

4% increased maximum life, 30% chance to avoid being stunned, 1% life regenerated per second. Another amazing node right at the Ranger start giving life, life regen, and chance to avoid stun.


Testudo

20% increased defenses from shield and 6% additional shield block chance. No other single node on the tree can give such a high +% to block chance.


Optional: Acrobatics (up to 40% physical attack dodge) and Phase Acrobatics (30% spell dodge).





My stats (at level 87) and gear are in my guide - which I hope people will enjoy reading. I wish this encourages more players to try evasion-based melee characters, and also sparks more interest in damage avoidance builds!

Snusblaze

Thought I would post my dude since it is based around the Lightning Coil armor for defenses and has a ton of room to grow, but I don't have the time or currency to fully develop just yet. Figured it's a less common unique used to build around so I tried it and has been working out well. I can work through higher end maps, but have yet to obtain the highest and attempt yet. The coolest part is being able to face tank Dominus lightning stream and his mega punch or whatever.

Anyway, max as much light resist as possible and running the new purity of lightning gem to increase max resist. I farm with 100 magic find gear, but there is a lot of optimization that could be done with my gear at this point. All my resists are max after purity of light turned on and working on its with the gem, but need to overcome the intellect requirements. Eventually, I hope to be a 81 light resist. I use a topaz flask, granite and jade to take on some beefy deeps. 5% life steal, 4300-5000 life depending on non MF gear or reg, leap slam for mobility. Typical cast on damage take gem combos, but a fun one that helps is linking CODT w/ iron will, molten and life leech. I leveled it rather high so when I do take higher damage it will explode and give me some extra healing through the pain.

I don't have a 6 link, but the DPS is 17k on heavy strike with splash. I push higher when I swap out even increased quality gem for bosses. I suppose the nitch is being able to avoid stacking high armor or relying on endurance charges to mitigate physical damage.

Using a decent 5 link Koams primacy at 185%. I have tried a couple divines and it just keeps going down so I am holding off on that....

Looking through the forum, I see some crazy powerful builds using legacy items and such, but thought I would give my lightning coil build around a shout because I see it being increasingly powerful as I continue to progress. For example, if I could get gloves with some mana leech I still have enough mana pool after 2 auras to avoid using blood magic gem and increase damage or utility even further.
