Very interesting build. Thanks for this. Preparing for 3.6. Was new to POE in 3.5 and I really like Jugg as a class. Not great at mechanics, so need a build to better tank the damages.

I assume the early starter items will just be general rares and would be enough for initial mapping while you get the basic core gear.I'm estimating the core gear is few hundred chaos to 6ex. I am kind of casual so I need to plan and prioritize.

I saw you list budget belt and ring. I assume you use some 5-6L until you manage to get the helmet to replace it. For weapon, Rare sword and board until you get the specific unique.

Total around 1000-1500c for the initial core gear and slowly do incremental upgrades from there.

Seems like priority would be:
1. Grelwood - 80-100c (Use any rare sword/claw with high physical and speed)
2. Xoph's Blood - 2-3ex (Avatar of Fire + rare ammy with life, res and stat)
3. Elder Helmet with Immolate and Conc - 20-100c (Use any rare helmet)
4. Kaom's - 1-3ex (Use 5/6L until you get Elder Helmet)
6. Elder Rings - 10-100c (Use rare rings till Elder Rings with LGOH)
7. Watcher's Eye - 2-4ex

Others:
1. Lioneye's Shield: 5-10c - seems cheap, get it whenever
2. Belt and Boots: 5-50c - Manage res properly 5-50c
3. Dying Sun: 100c

xophs blood can be much lower in the list tho.

you want to get an elder helmet as soon as possible so you can use what ever chest piece you want until you get kaoms.
grelwood is a massive dps boost but wont be available as the start of the league and even when it does pop out, it would be very expensive.


in delve i used a 4L armor until i got the helmet, i think it was at lvl ~75.

Thanks for the response. Really appreciate it. You mentioned in a post somewhere you intentionally played this in Betrayal to see if it would work on a budget and as a league starter.

So how was it? How far could it go without the core gear of grelwood, helmet and Kaom until is is affordable? I'm just afraid I can't go mapping much without those 3 core items.

My previous jugg was super budget and worked with all rares except Ahn's Might swords was even them was super cheap. Even the eventual scaling was just Loreweave and possibly Death's Door boots. Cheap to get to end game, but limited in terms of scaling. It hit a certain ceiling fast.

I just don't want to be stuck unable to purchase the items at league start.

Thanks!

life leech length got nerfed in the coming league. I'm still inexperienced for this mechanic (LGOH), but will this nerf affect this build at all? thank you.
