Today I managed to beat Sirius for the first time using the non-crit build in SSF. Deathless, as well. That was pretty hype!

He dropped the helmet (19%, don't have many divines so that's it I guess) so I'm thinking of using it in my build. In my build it adds a total of 200 life+ES compared to my old helmet. It also gives around 800k more dps (6,5% dps increase). The only problem is that my 75% capped chaos res will drop to 50% by using this item and I can't really get more chaos on my other gear without crafting completely new items. Maybe I'll helmet swap on chaos heavy fights/bosses and use the sirius helm for normal mapping, 50% is still plenty of chaos res. Or I can pray harvest gives me add chaos options to use on normal life jewels.


I don't think capping chaos res is that necessary. usually ~30% chaos res is more than good enough. But great to see your update tho

Please tell me what is wrong? When I get hit by monsters, my mana decreases, and since it's already low, it just drops to zero, so I get killed all the time..


I think you might have taken the "The Agnostic" without timeless jewel. As a result, it depletes 20% of your mana every second.

I've given up on the medium cluster jewels. i spent a solid hour with live search turned on offered on everything and not a single response. So then i started walking up the prices and at 30C still not getting any responses. it's bizarre.

i got so bitter i stopped playing the build and rolled another. lol.

one of the reason i gave up is because the move to crit seems very much "all or nothing", and i worry that if i am missing a piece the transition won't work and i'll be posting about my terrible damage. maybe i misunderstand.

the changes are so extensive going to crit that i'm very apprehensive about the respec.

1 can i move to crit without the medium cluster fire DoT jewels ?
2 any suggestions what to use as a temporary in place of them ?

I should point out that I DO have the large cluster jewels. One of them is pretty well rolled, but the other not yet.

also, no weapon yet... That's another thing that's been very difficult to find.


Yeah you can convert to crit without medium cluster jewels.

You can use almost the same tree as 2ex version, just get the staff (with hits can't be evaded craft) plus armour and ring, deallocate Resolute technique, you are good to go.

On top of that,phase run + CWDT provides good defensive benefits. For example, whenever you take a big hit from enemy, phase run is triggered so you are in stealth mode and won't be targeted, instead, enemy will target your golem/minions. This can save you from danger no matter you are mapping or doing boss fights.


Does it matter what level Phase Run is for this link? Blood Rage was recommended to stop at level 5, iirc


Use the highest level that your dexterity allows

Thanks for the build!

I've made a stupid amount of exalts from trying to craft these medium jewels for mid build lol.

I could've easily purchased them by now but I'm honestly just curious to see how it ends up.


good to know, at the same time I don't recommend people exploiting this too much because we need to give others some opportunity to get their gear.

This builds PoB is extremely "PoB Warrior" feeling. It's very unrealistic seeming. Sure, once in a blue moon under the right conditions you're going to get a 20m damage whack, but most of the time they're going to be doing 2-4m.

The gear is also pretty insane, even the medium budget one has multiple jewels worth 1-2ex a piece. I don't know how you're going to hit a 5ex budget with items that total up to 40ex.

Was leveling with this build but switched over to an EQ Jugg. It looked too good to be true and seems to be that way from my experience so far with it.

Perhaps at level 90 with more ex to dump it will shine better, TecSlam is one of the most badass fun abilities in the game though and I want to give it a better shot at some point.

ok. i was looking at the tree and things were looking good.

i have armour.
the ring is pretty reasonable to find, i'm just being picky :-)

the staff is a real problem. it's a 3ex mod so i'm only going to spend it on a good staff. i have currency for a good (not great) staff, but i've yet to find one.

ok. well i think i'll make a renewed effort to get going on this build again.

edit: i sure wish there was a way to make accuracy work instead of that mod... i haven't figured it out yet, but as a temporary thing, since i don't have medium cluster jewels it might be worth spending 5 or 7 skill points to do it.

Why isn't Tidebreaker also recommended for Budget non-crit build? It looks to have right around the amount of physical damage you recommend to find in a rare and also has %10 bonus physical damage per Endurance charge (which will be %70 total). I just don't see the value in spending that much chaos when Tidebreaker is so much cheaper and seems strictly better to me. Sorry if this is a stupid question—I'm fairly new to this game.


Upgrading tidebreaker with the axe gives ~20% more damage according to POB.

Different mods have different degrees of impact in our total damage, it just turns out the high physical damage weapon gives more benefit.

If you have read the Q&A you will find "even though the max damage can be very high, the consistent damage may be somewhere between 40% to 80% of max damage, depending on how skilled you are at managing all the buffs."

as for the medium cluster jewels, they paid for themselves when you craft them. People in the above thread actually made insane profits to cover other gears in the mid-buget build.

Another reason the price increased is because many people are playing this build. That's why crafting instructions are available so people can access gears with cheaper cost.

I've been using the breathstealers with the heart of flame annoint for a bit. Since we can now leech a bit of energy shield.


Rather than these guys before.


Yet, I'm considering on switching the build. Some Maven encounters are wild, and I just throw all the portals away. I see JennoJoyce is amazing at replying to people, so I must ask. You are playing this char this league, any sights on making us a bit more tanky?

This is my current setup. Thankyou in advance.
