Hi, i might be bringing this thread back alive but i just wanted to say im lvl 47 currently, quick, fast and easy to kill everything in the way. ITS AWESOME!!!!

So im doing some future planning and currently i have that heavy belt which is cool. Im using Shield bash, fortify, and melee damage currently (might change to faster attack later). But the question is has anyone change to the Perseverance belt at lvl 78?

Doing a little bit of theory crafting with this setup you would have frenzy for main attack, then fortify, instant on onslaught with the belt, and instant phasing with the ascendancy skill tree..... ideally you would be moving a lot faster, awesome defense and possibly amazing dps but didnt know if this why tried out yet or not.

If so can you please send me in the right direction to find that post on the results?

If not ill try it out when i get high enough unless someone beats me to it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks bud. Perseverance is a nice belt for combining Onslaught wiht Fortify, but you will lose a lot of damage if you use it instead of Meginord.

Since it takes your lowest between AR and EV for the attack boost - most likely it will use your AR. As reference I have 1.1k AR in town = so this belt would give me <4% increased attack damage which is extremely low.

Compared to Meginord which adds +phys damage - this is really what you need for FB build to scale well, which is why Megi, Abyssus, Great Old One and Steel Rings are BIG dps items.

So unfortunately Perseverance is not worth it.

Ceryneian thanks for the reply and ya im starting to understand how much of a major boost these added phys damage is after i equipped the abysus helm and jumped from 10k damage to 80k damage standing there and with full frenzy charges (6 currently) im able to be doing around 115- 120k damage.... im loving this build already because i have never had anything hit this hard yet.

Thanks for the advice and very understandable.

P.S Cant wait to try out the boots with 2+ frenzy charges added :D.

I've tried a few Shaper runs - haven't killed him deathless yet but good thing is that it seeeeeeems possible on this build. Hardest part for me isn't Shaper but the Riftwalker Uncreated sub-boss between Phase 2 and 3.

I think the more I attempt the easier it will get and hope to be able to do a deathless run once I've figured out what tweaks I need to my flask / gameplay to do the Riftwalker bosses easier. Unfortunately I cannot use a good movement skill like Leap Slam or Whirling Blades (left with Flame Dash or Lightning Warp) so it's harder to clear the sub-boss phases easier.

I've made some tweaks to the build including taking off P2L for MDOFL. And speccing Vaal Pact - which when combined with Soul Raker and the high crits we get, even for 1v1 - gives very nice instant leech.

Good thing now is that my laptop seems to have been fixed now after a fresh clean reinstall, so I can now record PoE in 4k 60fps for you guys xD.

Want to redo Chimera deathless as well

Latest gear w/ links, and my new tree. Nothing new on gear except I am now using Lycosidae. Tree has been updated - I love Soul Raker for mana sustain and I've specc'd Vaal Pact.

Yes you only have a small amount of leech % but I've found with a) regular packs, or b) on crit - you can leech quite a lot and get back to full life.

I'm not using P2L - swapped for MDOFL since I use Vaal Pact. I also took out VoV since I was trying Shaper and he cannot be shocked and the leech was enough already.



Something interesting to note is that Lightning Golem actually gives slightly more DPS than Ice Golem (at least for me).


You'll notice vs. my old tree, I have unspecc'd Claws of the Falcon (crit) - and this is because I need points to get Vaal Pact and then it was more efficient to grab Claws of the Pride for a little crit.

Also it is important to note that claw crit multiplier is not affected by Rigwald's curse, so it will not apply to your crit multiplier - only general crit multiplier.


My current tree:

Shaper vid. Noob mistakes as usual, but hope to get full deathless soon. Enjoy in 4k 60fps please! (4k might take some time for Youtube to process, damn thing took me a few hours to render and then a few hours to upload xD).

Deathless Chimera:

Here you can see the strength of Vaal Pact with the massive crits even with no VoV or leech gem apart from some small leech on tree.

Been testing out some more changes:

Bandits: Take Kraityn Cruel for APS instead of Oak Phys Damage

Updated Tree for those using Lycosidae + VP + MDOFL like me:

- I took out Depth Perception accuracy cluster by Shadow, also took out a Claw phys node, and took out Weapon Artistry near Ranger start

- Used these points to go all the way to Claws of the Falcon claw circle for more crit chance

Hi, I was following your build right now and came with 2 important curious questions.

1. My DPS is not quite near you ( and I know this is very popular question and I have read all pages in this thread to solve ) the word near you describe that even I try a simulator in path of build program base on my item, tree etc. and try for find the key to boost it that I missed it from your guide, currently can't find the solutions now.

2. My HP, yes very simple My HP at lv 73 it sitting at around 3.1k and yes I also try simulate your tree until the end and check the +maximum hp item on you it still cannot reach 4k, so have no idea what i'm missing.

Special question: could you suggest some game play strategy on bosses like uber lab bosses I mean with this build it can one shot u anytime so as I know is 1. place ances totem 2. use vaal grace 3. press all defensive flask u have ( I dont have sin rebirth it too expensive for me is this the key problem? ) 4. go I punch as quick as you can until he die before run out of defensive supports. So, I use this play style and still feel very squishy so I'm not sure is it the right play style to play with this build. Oh yes and also the trapsssss. . .. very painless I have to carry around 4 life flasks before the boss room in order to survive to that and its make no charges on other flask for fighting the boss.

This is my currently set up now: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Zcy7the/characters

Thanks in advance.

I'm having huge issues with topping survivability on this build :( I'm on level 76 legacy hardcore, but I feel like I can rip to bad luck pack of mobs/map boss anytime.

I had huge issues with capping ele resistances and I don't even know how is this build supposed to deal with chaos (sitting at -35% right now)

I also can't get enough hp, sitting at 3400-3600 range which is way too low for 76 level melee.

My gear looks like that

Going to try merciless lab tomorrow (though not sure if it's possible not to rip with 3400hp even with these dodges)

Hi bud, unfortunately I did not make this build for hardcore, so you will need to customize the build for more survivability.

- Your gear is good but I would try and find a 2nd ring with life, and find a helmet with life instead and forego the damage

- Then get more life nodes on tree, you will need to drop some damage nodes, but you have options to get Revenge of the Hunted life nodes, Thick Blood life nodes, Profane Chemistry life nodes, Duelist life nodes

- You can also think about using jewels with life instead of Pugilist like I do

- It's good you are using Fortify and Arctic Armor. Try adding 1 or 2 Vaal Grace gems

- Flasks are good as well. Unfortunately new Rumi's is not that great to use since there is Acro penalty on block and GGG has nerfed Rumi's so now the block it gives is quite small. I would run Taste of Hate instead - this would give you great phys mitigation combined with Fortify with AA. And getting near max dodge with Blind should be very strong. The only issue you may have is with spells so need to be careful around those

- Since you are running a 5 link and don't really need the damage, I would switch from Frenzy to a safer AOE skill like Ice Crash or Infernal Blow.

If you need further help on how to customize, check out this Duelist Crit Facebreaker build that reaches 6k life, it cuts down the damage and gets more survivability (about 6k life) and uses Ice Crash:
