[3.25]The BLOCKMAN

Hey everyone, this is my first try at crafting and I'm trying to craft the chest at the moment, as I'm transitioning from facebreaker cyclone into this build.

I noticed OP said that, in order to craft explosive body armour, we can't have another warlord's craft on the item. However mine has, Recover 5% life on kill, is it still possible to craft explosion on there? or should i recraft using fossils first?

Thanks

You can try annul this mod, 25% chance for succes.

A question about the build: Do you ever use the non vaal version of molten shell and ancestral warchief (it requires mana points)?

Was playing my dual wield axe RT lacerate glad before I saw this guide. I could clear most content very quickly but I stood no chance against simulacrum 19/20 and i struggled against high delirium content. I was getting really frustrated so I sold a bunch of my items and respecd to this.

This build is incredible and so much fun I crush sim 20 and all content only during to heavy degen or ultra rare ground 1 shots. Hit level 96 so far, the highest I've ever gotten in 5 years of playing. Build is fun, high dps and tanky!

Last update:

I've invested quite a lot into this build. Like at least 50ex all over.

My conclusion:

First things first. What the build did for me:

=> Killed elder & shaper with it
=> Killed Sirus AL4 with it
=> Killed Aul @300 depth
=> Clearing almost every Simulacrum 20/20
=> Running Ultra Juiced T16 Maps

What the build can't do for me/you:

Sadly, I have the wrong goals in poe to let me play this build. As the OP already mentioned, any source of DoT DPS is a pain. Even with corrupted blood immunity, other DoT sources will most likely kill you in under 1 second. I've reached delve depth 350 with this build only. Unfortunately, that's the end. Some nodes are almost not doable at all (the fungal ones for example), the random oneshots occur like every other node, the deeper I go (with all flasks up and over 65% block chance). As it's one of my goals to get over 1k delve without a Ranger build, that build isn't suitable for it.

Other than that, I had a lot of fun with it. It's definitely doable to do a lot of content, most likely more than some other builds in this forum but for me, it isn't suitable enough. With over 50ex invested, I thought about getting a little bit more out of it but it's what it is.

Use non-vaal warchief when u don't have vaal version. If u have good gear u will have ~15 mana. non-vaal molten shell triggered by CWTD, vaal version cannot be triggered

Guys i need help with the issue that i m getting one shotted quite often.
Normally i m using abyssus and mobs are no problem but when it comes to boss fights my dps seems not enough even with abyssus and if i cant block hit then i m just dead meat %100. Especially plaza map's boss kills me in 1 sec with beam attack.
Is there anything i can do for the build?

Anyone have a tree utilizing some of the new cluster jewels?

exact same boss kills me.....

DoT damage kills this build instantly. no chance against DoT damage.

EDIT: New PoB as of 04/23/20 optimized it some more for dps/block losing some life. Added a Megalomaniac/Impale Last # Additional Hits WEye.

I AM NOT THE OP, BUT I HAVE PLAYED THIS BUILD A LOT. CURRENTLY ITS /played IS AT 10+ DAYS

Wanted to post what will likely be my final update on this build, as after I get impale hits w/ pride Watcher's Eye I will start a new build.

But this is where we ended up. (~13m Sirus DPS with Ryslatha)



Throw on Ryslatha for Sirus, and have Headhunter for everything else (although I forget the ryslatha like, 3/4s of the time)

I've done Sirus A8 deathless several times. Facetank all conqs, including Al-Hezmin with the poison negating pantheon. Can do all content. Everything seems doable but chaos damage sucks. Done double boss in wave 20 sim, 5-way Legion, all the breach types, all the upgraded breach types. I suck at Uber-Atziri, but I ended up doing it once solo. I also suck at uber-elder (I feel too fast to precisely move in that fight) but that's also fine if you don't suck.

Scattered thoughts on item choices:

Chestplate: One big thing I found really helped after some not-so-rigorous testing, was swapping the life craft for block on the chestplate, gets you to a nice 75 which I much prefer to 68. I haven't made an explodey chestplate, nor will it, since I think chestplate crafting is tremendously boring, and I just cannot be bothered.


Shield/Helmet: You might wonder, "WhY Do YoU NoT HavE A BeTtEr ShiELD AnD HelMEt", but there's a simple reason for that. I have double corrupted so many of each, and not once had a decent outcome that's any better than the uncorrupted ones. Also I will likely get a reckoning cooldown Abyssus over a Cyclone one, but neither matters too much and in the end I want a +gems Abyssus anyway. As for corruptions on the shield, I'm not sure what I want to hit, but probably %life + something else. I haven't hit anything noteworthy anyhow.

Weapon: Paradoxica is likely better than The Saviour DPS-wise, but I went with The Saviour anyway because I enjoy it, there's something undeniably satisfying about my little buddies. Plus they help with clear so I think they tend to be better for any non-boss content. (And even then, the invincible clones likely add to overall dps when you have to move away from a boss that drops chaos at its feet or something).

Belt: More damage with Ryslatha obviously, but this build does have slightly weak map clear, and HH fixes that. ~9m DPS with HH and ~10m with Ryslatha qualitied, and an almost perfect roll.

Rings: I'd love a Steel Ring that capped my resses, but that just isn't happening unless I craft it myself, which I am passively trying to do, but I can't hit a good phys+life+res ring for the life of me. Circle of Guilt with intimidate on hit is very very nice, big fan of that and you don't need to worry about %chance to intimidate from other things since this is a guaranteed source. For me at least, for iLvl 84 monsters, Accuracy is BETTER than frenzy charge on the ring craft, but always having a frenzy charge just looks and feels good, so I lost ~.8% DPS in exchange for that.

Amulet: I can't think of a better one since we get Vulnerability out of Impresence, and if I can get a good corruption on an Impresence with Assassination then I'll update that to here.

Gloves: Don't be salty, but I hit Culling Strike my first try crafting it. Pretty much BIS I think, t1/essence phys would have been nice I suppose, but I didn't expect to hit it, so I stopped alt-regaling at t2.

Boots: I cannot tell you how many ex I sunk into making what ended up being a frankly pretty mediocre set of boots, at least, compared to their true potential. But whatever, they get the job done, no freeze is cool though.

Jewels: Corrupted Blood Might of the Meek, and eventually a + impale hits w/ pride WEye, but right now that eye slot is a double damage chance w/ pride WEye.

Gems: Idk, I'm still levelling gems to get at least 21/20 on everything.

If you have any other questions I would love to help. Dm me in game @CatarinaSimp

Character Name: No I am not proud of them, yes I do have a Catarina shrine in my hideout, no I don't simp for her, yes I am lying.

TLDR; HAHA BLADE MAN GO WHRRRRRRRRR
