[3.25] One shot Tectonic Slam Chieftain. Great Damage and Survivability. Melting all content.

Hi guys.

I know I've posted some questions in this thread, but now I want you to look at my PoB because I'm a bit stuck at lvl90. I can do T10 maps, but nothing bigger. I die too much.

https://pastebin.com/HeTHiCJg

I know I don't have Assassins Mark yet and that my weapon doesn't have 'hits can't be evaded' craft, but still I think I'm too squishy. I know I need better jewels, but for now this is OK damage-wise. And yeah, my chest armor needs double curse.

What would be the first big update I can do for 1ex that I currenty have. I can farm up to 2 or 3 ex if needed.

Thanks!

Hello, I'd like to recommend lowering the weighted sum portion of the given trade link for mid-budget staffs to 150 or 160 - I've found very good staffs within that range that are very strong and are out of the range of the weighted sum of 180.


While these obviously won't beat better-rolled staffs, they're more than enough to transition to the mid-budget build and they were much cheaper to obtain.

Thanks for this, i have been stuck at the transition to mid-budget trying to find a good staff. I have everything but one of the large cluster jewels and one medium (literally cant buy them, everyone is afk or sold already even after 3 pages).

For a dummy, can you tell me what the weighted sum actually does as a filter?

If I understand it correctly, it just adds up phys % and the average phys damage to attacks, if the item doesn't add up to 180 or above then it'll be filtered out. A staff with 180% phys % would show up but a staff with 140% phy and like 30 average phys damage to attacks wouldn't as far as I get it. The problem with the filter is that some of the lower tier phys % and flat phys combinations can actually turn out to be very respectable numbers for max hit. So I recommend using 150% weighted sum, as well as filtering out area of effect % and accuracy rating.

Just in case you were looking for normal jewels for mid-budget investment crit variant of this awesome build

Finally made the swap to the crit build, jesus christ it took me a while. I have barely played it out yet so i will how it feels, health definitely seems on the low end. Had a question about catalyst and which ones I should use. Do caster catalysts buff the curse on hits, is it even worth it? Should i stick with physical or health/mana?

First off, thank you so much for this insane guide! your help is greatly appreciated.

I have a question regarding my staff, I managed to get the physical mods on it. But how do I proceed to get the rest of the desired mods? (im kinda a noob at this game)

check whether the accuracy is a hybrid prefix or not. If it is, then you don't have any prefix available then you have to remove one prefix by anull orb.

If it is a suffix then you can just craft hits can't be evaded.

Hi,

Is disintegrator still viable with this build? It seems cheaper as a first step between non staff to crit etc. Then I'll work on crafting the staff.

Thanks

Yes it is still viable. Disintegrator is pretty expensive early league, that's why it's no longer recommended in budget build anymore.

when it will be transition to high-budget or mirror budget.
I've accumulated a couple of dozen exalts, but I don't know where to start.
btw i aldready almost done with fractured staff crafting.

You can refer to the potential end-game POB and my current gear as general direction.

The basic rule of thumb is start with the easiest one :)

By the way, thanks for much for helping others and answering their questions.

Ever thinked of using Rallying cry since we have minions from HoP + totem (don't know for sure if totem counts but minions from herald definitly counts)?

I haven't considered that since we already have 3 warcries and running out of buttons. But it's certainly interesting to see how rallying cry can fit into our game play. If you have the chance to explore it, please share your findings :)

Finally managed to make the transition to Crit but not i got mana issues and pretty small AoE, any idea how to improve them? https://pastebin.com/se3TTf7P

Seems like you spent lots of currency on getting those expensive items while forgetting to upgrade the cheap items. Like the helmet and rings.

As for AOE, please use the same config as my POB and see if you AOE radius is less than 28.

dude , first of all thanks for the amazing build , second how u craft the first jewel it's immposible to craft it with harvest i keep getting shitty crafts like vicious swerking all the time , btw single white jewel cost 20c at least , the build on budget/mid non crit is 40% more expensive.

it's 1/4 chance to hit devastator according to the statistics. So the chance isn't bad I think.
