3.2 Farrul's Fur molten strike/wild strike pathfinder, uber elder down

1. Can do basically any content well (except for grandmaster)
2. great clearspeed
3. great single target
4. super tanky thanks to almost permanent resist flasks.
5. can facetank almost anything thanks to the insane heal from claws
6. good mobility
8. Hardcore viable with some gear/points readjustment
9. no need to gemswap
10. super easy leveling

1. can get quite expensive (especially my final version)
2. we need to be in close range to do damage
3. no leech and reflect can be a pain to do, but achievable if you really want with sybils+yuguls and putting in some extra hp/mana pots.

Right after killing hillock just grab Molten Strike and as soon as you can, get Ancestral Call basically this will be your leveling setup.

get Elemental Damage With Attacks Added Cold Damage Multistrike and finally Concentrated Effect

when you can, get Wild Strike but just keep it there so you can level it.
and make sure to level another Multistrike, Elemental Damage With Attacks and Ancestral Call with it if you can afford the sockets.

If you can, also level an Elemental Focus because we'Ll be using that in our endgame setup.


as for items:
1. weapons:
a Windlash claw right from level 3 is a great leveling weapon, then at 34 you can swap to a mortem morsu, and at 60 to a wasps nest which will carry you to maps.
if you don't have access to these uniques just try to get a claw (or a sword but preferably claw) with as high physical dps as you can.

2. armour:
Ondar's clasp is a great leveling gloves, it offers tons of attack speed and damage, Wanderlust and Wake of Destruction are great boots for leveling, and Darkness Enthroned(the new abyss belt) is a fantastic leveling belt if you've got two great abyss jewels for it
otherwise just try to get life/resists on armour items, and maybe some int/str which you'll need later

3. rings/amulet
Thief's torment is a fantastic ring for leveling it offers an insane amount of mana and health sustain, with molten strike you can literally facetank anything with it.

otherwise just try to get life/res and some flat physical or elemental damage on it(preferably cold) and maybe some int/str

take alira for your bandit, the crit multi is invaluable, the allres helps a lot, and the manareg is nice for the leveling.

I'll talk about the skilltree for leveling in the next section

level ~35
poeurl.com/bRAl

get ele convert/damage nodes and rush to the claw nodes,

get Nature's Adrenaline from Normal lab

level ~50
poeurl.com/bRAm

go left towards the dualist nodes, and get the two jewels slots for Wildfire, once you have them get two Wildfire Jewels (very important!) you get one in an act 5 quest very soon so you only need to buy one.

Get Nature's Boon from Cruel Lab

level ~70
poeurl.com/bRAn

Fill out some of the hp, finish the top right half of the tree

Get Master ALchemist from Merc Lab

Final Tree
poeurl.com/bRAo without Farrul's Fur (will talk about this later)
poeurl.com/bRAp with Farrul's Fur

get Veteran Bowyer from Uber Lab

you can take vaal pact if you feel like you need it, but I didnt really, life on hit from claws and regular leech is more than enough, and the life regen is nice.

path of building https://pastebin.com/w3ka98vz

the most important gems are in order of importance:
body armor 6link:
Molten Strike
Added Cold Damage
Multistrike
Elemental damage with attacks
Concentrated effect
Elemental focus

this will be our main single target setup for Molten Strike, you can run a 5 link without Ele focus until you can afford a 6link.


gloves:
Wild Strike
Ancestral call
Elemental damage with attacks
Multistrike

This is our clear setup with Wildstrike.


helm:
Whirling blades
Faster attacks
Fortify
Blood magic


this is our main movement skill+fortify to help us mitigate tons of damage

weapon:
Hatred
Vaal Haste
Herald of ice/Purity of Ice

Herald of ice+Hatred is gonna be the auras you use 99% of the time, but you'll need to swap in Purity of Ice if you want to attempt uber elder.


boots:
Immortal call
cast when damage taken
increased duration
Enfeeble

This is the defensive Setup I use, But I swap to Kaom's roots for Uber elder, so This slot isnt used there. otherwise Immortal call is great for surviving big bursts, and Enfeeble reduces the chances of a big chunk of damage coming in, so we can survive better with our leech. you can also use ele weakness, projectile weakness or even assassin's mark (if yoU're not running farrul's fur) it's entirely up to you. make sure to leave cast when damage taken+immortal call on level 1 and enfeeble on level 5

Shield:
ancestral protector
Cast When damage taken
Summon Lightning Golem

this is basically cos having to keep summoning the golem is a big hassle but it does provide a lot of damage. and ancestral protector is a big damage boost also.

you can also alternatively run stuff like Frost Bomb or Culling Strike with the totem, or just a Flame Dash
to jump over terrain or just run Blood Rage if you're not using Farrul's fur to get some frenzy charges.

Weapon:
Just a nice claw with as much phys dps/crit/attack speed as you can, the 30% quality can be gained from beastiary crafting which is a season specific thing.

Shield:
since we cant run a statstick with molten strike this is our best option. it basically negates the need for accuracy and gives a massive dps boost as well as some life.

Body Armour:
This is, without a doubt, by far and away our best body armour, if you can afford it, get it. there is no better option. it gives us free max power and frenzy charges, a free aura that gives us tons of attack speed and crit AND some defense. without this, the build wont feel as good as it does. Unfortunately it's super expensive so here are some alternatives:

Belly of the Beast: a Nice Hp boost, but not much else, I'm not a big fan of it but a lot of people like it.
Queen of the Forest: tons of evasion, some resists and a lot of movement speed. Not bad
The Perfect Form: Lot of evasion and free spelldodge good defensive option
Hyrii's Ire: Some extra damage and some nice dodge. not bad(but probably needs phase acro for full value)
Shroud of the lightless, tons of free damage from the penetration node(skip ele focus if you take it) and an extra abyssal gem, but you probably need more abyssal gems to make it really work.

helm:

Our best option, if you wanna go a bit more "yolO" you can get rat's nest but I dont think it's worth it.

the most important thing is the helm enchant, if you cant afford the +3 proj then get a +2 on anything you can, it's a massive dps boost.

gloves:

this is what enables us to use two skills basically. it gives us a pseudo 5link for our wild strike which makes it perfect for clearing maps.

if you wanna run molten strike as your only skill, you can run tombfist instead (hell for super endgame bosses swapping in a tombfist might actually be worth it since you never really WS them)

boots:

Kaom's roots is absolutely necessary for uber elder, for everything else I use the rare one.
just get as much health and resists on it as you need, the movement speed is a nice bonus but not at all necessary, especially not 30%.


This is basically what yoU're looking for in a belt. flask duration and ele damage with some resists and health.

if you cant afford the stygian belt just get a nice leather belt.

rings:


steel or opal rings with some flat damage, or elemental damage to attacks, some life and try to fill out the resists. make sure to get a bunch of int on one of them because you'll need it. and if you're running farrul's fur you need one with "aspect of the cat" enchanted on it. which is from beastcrafting, you need to fight farrul and then capture him to get the recipe.

neck:
health/res some int/str and crit multi/crit chance/ele damage/phys damage, as much as you can afford.

flasks:



not much wiggle room here really. you need all of these for the build to hit its stride, you can use a silver flask instead of taste of hate temporarily.

jewels:
Two Wildfire Jewels are a must
and for the third just get crit multi/life/attack speed or if you want an abyss jewel Life/crit multi/phys or cold damage to claws/attacks

or if you're rich AF get a watcher's eye that buffs hatred.

Soul of Solaris to prevent huge crits and damage spikes, and soul of yugul for some extra elemental mitigation(the minor one can be swapped around tho to anything from gruthkul to shakari based on what you prefer)
