[3.17] Hybrid's Molten Strike Jugg - Hold right click to TANK anything |MELT the Atlas|Divine Flesh|

For anyone that needs inspiration for a build similar to this, with very high durability and very respectable damage, you can look at my profile - I play molten strike jugg and easily do both sirius a8 and uber elder deathless, while having a good kill time. Build consists mostly of uniques and only 1 large cluster jewel with Overlord, martial prowness and weight advantage(Weight advantage I don't use atm).

I don't die to anything except the deep levels of delve with insane mods.

I'm planning to do a Molten Strike Jugg next league.
Any chance you're going to just leave this char as is after the league is over, so that we're able to inspect it then? :D

I just made this build on a lvl 89 character.

My gear:



I also have the exact same Cluster Jewels in the PoB.

The damage is meh, which might be because I don't have the Watcher's Eye and a few nodes on the tree. The problem is that at 8.2k hp, capped res, and Jugg I get one-shot all the time in t16s (maybe lower too, haven't tried). Am I missing something?

To easily get more damage just anoint your boots with 'Heart of Flame'. Next major damage boost is a ring with 'Flammability on hit' or just add the gem to CwDT setup, and of course the '30% more elemental damage' mod on the helmet.

But I agree, even then, DPS is nowhere near what is shown by the author. It may have been that great couple of leagues ago. Still, the build is doing a pretty good job at surviving. I can face-tank anything but Kosis. Sirius' 'Die' is a joke.

Not sure what more I can do to get more damage myself. Apart from the obvious helm enchantment.

I'm still not sure how to post quotes. However I did link my char so everyone can see tree and gear. Again I play in standard so clusters r out till league flips, but other than my human error, I smoke A8 siris. And I still have ALOT of min/maxing to do as you all can see now. Watcher's eye prob best piece of gear. As to KatKira's point look at my gear and last few pages of discussion between me and Hybrid. Should give you an idea on upgrades. Being you have cluster and Stamped = Anoint boot w/ whisper's of death, rock 1 ring 16-20 lgph w/ lev 12 poacher's = can divine later. 1 ring w/ lgph and flammability. When I googled damage difference I mixed up ele weak and flammability, but ring I made so good not worth changing. Still re rolling Elder/ Warlord belt. Hitting w/ pristine and prismatic atm, will post when I get close to what I have now but instead of fire res I want Life recovery. Also w/ more levels = more life. More life = higher leech, regen, not getting 1 shoted by hunter mobs paired w/ crazy map mods= chain or 2 additional shots. Btw I use same pantheon. I thought we were immune to poison. GGG over looked that I think. Either way best defense is a good offense. They can't kill out if they're dead. When you know you map is influenced have to be faster than your opponent. You can't just stand there and right click = they are to far. That's where I think WB is best movment skill. Paired w/ lgph, leech, and both curses gives me more than enough time to get to them. I hope this helps everyone, if I can do it w/ xbox gear I'm sure comp players will do VERY well.

And just fyi my human error w/ A8 Siris is those little chaos storms that never go away. While I can track where he go's = shadow trails show his direction, I often jump right into 1. So while some people criticize the build saying it's "out dated". I have to ask, can ANY build just stand in those and say, hey no big deal? Wasn't that the point of buff? If Min/maxed this build made old game obsolete/ boring. Now for most of us, the game became interesting again. That's why I love this game. 12 years ago I was 1 of the richest players in D2 = 37 accounts w/ lev 99 mules all full of GFG gear. Started w/ 1 decent char, became rich, and made every possible char. All by grinding keys, Lol my ocd knows no bounds. But always the same game, so after 2 years it became boring. GGG changes the game constantly and now inter-grading 2 w/ 1. That's something we have dreamed about for decades. So TYSM again to Hybrid. For any one questioning the build,, you can still google poe top 5 boss killers, and see what comes up.

Sorry for posting so much, however I should also note reading back on pages I saw player's talking about molten shell. So I got 1, switched w/ Lightning Golem. W/ no pob, on xbox I lost 2k dmg, I don't know if that;s per ball or??? Will run A8 Siris tomorrow, but I can only say = "It seemed easier" or "nope switching back = ANOTHER failed experiment. If so, at least THIS 1 wasn't expensive. The reason ring w/ poacher mar has low lgph= I crafted 3 good ring but not 4 my char, had a decent 1 I destroyed annulling/ exalting, made ok 1 and stayed with it till I tried 2 craft lgph, poacher's, and ele weakness on 1 ring,, should've used flammability. Didn't work but with the resist's it got I can catalist 2 = what I need atm. All together about 50 Exalts blown, I'm sure equal money is different from xbox to comp. Here its 90 chaos= Exalt or 140 fuses, or 800 chrom which is what I grind, while traking siris. I buy on average 8 exalt w/ chroms and 10 w/ chaos recipe a week. But between that and what I sell on trade for fair prices, I hate greedy people that want to get uber rich on 1 sale,,. I can afford to experiment. == I wish we could us pob!! PLZZ GGG. PLZ

Wow I can't believe I'm doing this, but Hybrid will you look at my char? I just went over page 1 again, and I can't find where we are getting wave of conviction from? Sounds sweet, I want that lol, just wondering what I replace w/? Didn't see it in the build atm, just read on last page of conversation. I hate to bother anyone, and usually just try to figure thing out myself, but isn't that what this community is for? We all try to help each other.

How big is your lifepool?

Your build looks like the version of Esoro.

Do we not want chaos resist? I'm really struggling trying to fill it in somewhere.
