i eas glancing over the build and i was wondering how exactly does this build regenerate 2600 ES/s ?

In your recommended league version there is no regen at all. Which interaction is causing the huge difference?

Regen from Replinishing presence, Consecrated Ground,3% from Cinder Swallow, Essence Glutton boosted by 24% increased ES recovery from belt. I hope i did not forget anything.

I do not recommend this build for league now that pure Harvest is gone.
I updated the description so its visible that its standard only.

This is a bit misleading. I started playing this in Heist, and the build was still super strong without harvest.

A lot tankier, mode damage and clear speed that a ton of builds.

I'm going to play it again this league, I'll make a league version guide if you don't plan to support that anymore, I'd rather not rip off your build if you would like to provide support though.

If you really believe there are other options do you reccomend any other god tier builds zzang.

If you make a viable league build out of this i can link your PoB into the guide as soon as you post it here and remove the standard only tag. Also im not stopping you from trying this build out in league its definitely no league starter though.

You asked me about upcomming God Tier builds:

Agnostic/MoM/Indigon with Petrified Blood will be the omega LUL meta.
The build will be immortal and probably oneshot all challenges from the task masters with mines.

Why Petrified Blood + Indigon?

It will make the build immortal because Indigon interacts with Petrified Blood so you recovery life from a mana flask as if it was a life flask (confirmed by GGG on reddit). Meaning Agnostic wont drain mana constantly as you will always have full health automatically since your uptime of mana flask is 100% and you get the insane Petrified Blood death protection.

I could see this as one of the Top HC builds as well if the HC dudes manage the get the gears together.
Needless to say mana mechanics will be hammered next patch in 3 months as this meta will be dominating the league. I think thats GGGs long term plan looking for justification to nerf mana mechanics MoM/Agnostics/Indigon/Arcane Cloak.

Edit: If anyone not playing standard and like to gifts me his free stuff i wont say no ;)

Oh of course this is not a league starter, I typically start farming on a Life based VD/DD build and transition once I buy 5L Shavs + Presence.

Here is the life build I start with : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2799337

So far done this every league since Harvest, was even very good in Heist.

Just a note, heres a vid of my The Feared last league, yes I had some harvest gear, however only REAL harvest items were the helm (which the build was still omega strong without, and culling strike on gloves. Wand had a very similar one essence crafted, belt was awakening orbed, and boots would be hard to obtain with harvest but could sacrifice some ES or Reists for a similar pair).

The rest of the items that I had on are easily obtainable without harvest.

Feared : https://streamable.com/9yybis
100% Deli : https://streamable.com/kr6ldm
Maven : https://streamable.com/bkep38

The POB I was using last league is here (swapped out the helm)

https://pastebin.com/RJHtrEc8

8.8K ES, 67% Attack Block, 75% Spell Block, 1.9M POB VD DPS. With the addition of the Arrogance Support we'll also gain 25% Aura Effect on Herald of Ash which is HUGE considering the scaling we already get from rings.

It can work with very good gears. Definitely not a starter build though.

Oh man, I was so hyped to play this build in 3.14. I even bought some MTX with some extra points I had just for this build :P. Its only the spellslinger aspect of the build that is impossible now without harvest / really good gear right? I'm assuming self cast detonate dead will still be a solid starter?

What sucks is I just started playing this game and I really didn't get to experience Harvest so I don't know what I really missing
