" Giammafix wrote: what about going with sceptre and shield for league start/mid game? it can roll life/mana regen/resistances and some spell damage to help with those stats early on There's an item configuration for different shields at certain points, at the minimum you would want a life/mana roll with ideally spellblockk.

" Really neat build that I think I'm going to try for 3.14. Curious, you caution not to left-click bind Arcane Cloak but I notice Cestarix in his video configures it this way, and it would help to lighten some of the active defensive abilities needing to be used considering the Vigilant Strike nerf. I assume it can be left-click bound, but is not advisable for the most optimal use? Or is there some threshold where it becomes okay to do so? Thanks for putting together such a clean guide to follow, I've been away from PoE for a bit due to IRL responsibilities and its always nice finding a strong, fun build that is easy to digest. Especially early big physical hits can be a problem, having it on left click can make it so that it's not immediately available during burst windows (sigil of power) or not ready in case you're going to get hit by a mechanic you can't get away from (think delirium slow + boss spawn). At a certain point using it actively becomes less important due to all the layers of defense.	Posted by ChemistHCSSF on Apr 15, 2021, 6:53:56 PM Quote this Post
" GRIZZLEH wrote: Hey man thanks for making this, had also seen the build in gauntlet and was interested in it. Couple of questions: You mention proper use of Arcane Cloak, do you not just run it on mouse1? How long is fortify after the changes to it and the vigil? Generals/desecrate setup doesnt feel too weird? About Sigil of Power-increased AoE, why not use Intensify? It gives more AoE doesnt it? And for the last utility 3L, isnt there something good to replace Wave of Conviction in the Arcanist Brand setup? Seems less clunky to just run the brand instead of 3 extra skills. Or if you eventually get a conductivity ring, what would you run in that 3L? Maybe Enduring Cry-Urgent Orders-Second Wind? And around how much does a Replica Mistwall usually go for in trade HC? 1. Arcane cloak should be actively available for full stage sigil for optimal DPS, it's a very important defensive layer that can save you from big slams/shotguns so I like to have it on spacebar to use it reactively and every time I run into a big pack. 2. 8 seconds, it's not clunky you can also run vigilant strike + Faster Attacks and ancestral call. We have a lot of attack speed from onslaught. 3. Intensify stacks can mess with sigil 4. I go into detail about other options in the 3L in the guide, this build's origins are in HCSSF smooth play is not a priority, optimization is 5. I don't play trade, I couldn't imagine more than 30c. A decent yellow shield will more than suffice early on, you can also just run another mana scepter without too much harm to your defenses Last edited by ChemistHCSSF on Apr 15, 2021, 7:00:47 PM	Posted by ChemistHCSSF on Apr 15, 2021, 6:59:36 PM Quote this Post

I'll be trying this build as a starter on SC, looks really solid. Just a question, I'm assuming you're not considering Omeyocan since you're on SSF, but would you say it's worth pursuing? I really liked it on my ice nova mana raider last league.	Posted by Zolltan on Apr 15, 2021, 7:56:08 PM Quote this Post

It appears you are missing your gear section! It is in the pob but nothing here in the guide. Also, can't seem to get the filter to work. Thanks Chip E	Posted by chippydog on Apr 15, 2021, 9:21:33 PM Quote this Post

Great build! I'm thinking of running a BF/BB build for the start. I am still confused on how this is tankier overall than the Chieftan version of the build. Am I missing something? I'll also be running in HCSSF, and I am not sure I'll realistically be able to get gear to make the raider version as safe while having better damage/speed.

Ok, wasn't sure if it was a mistake, copy & paste error or something.. With the filter, when I go to the link, I get the message: Your filter style 'velvet' is no longer supported and was changed to the 'normal' style. Due to conflicts between the changes in this save state and changes coming from a filter update, 4 changes could not be loaded. The invalidated sections are: -Act 1 rings ilvl 8 normal (4 changes) Re-do those changes and you will be back up-to-date again! ..... When I load the filter in and sync, I get an in game message that a filter sound is invalid, I don't have different colored highlights on my items. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, my other filters seem to be working	Posted by chippydog on Apr 15, 2021, 10:06:34 PM Quote this Post
