There are only like 3 well performing gems in the game. And in total - I feel there are not enough skill gems. On top of that support gems, uniques and the passive tree are so bland that they do not allow for any tech. Neither defensive nor offensive.
Maybe patch some content in your game before you ask people to get creative with it. I am playing a ed contagion and a thorns build. They are so straightforward, this isn't a build. it's following simple instructions. On poe1 I play Holy Relic of conviction. So I use a projectile skill that always hits, ramp up the attack speed and projectile count, heal myself with those projectiles and apply wither on hit. The Holy relics get triggered everytime I hit an enemy - which is a lot. And depending on Gem quality they trigger more often. This does an AoE of Physical damage, which I 100% convert to poison damage with the ascendancy unholy might and abyss jewels that add 100% chance to poison on minions. The tricky part is ramping up gem quality to 82% 128% is possible but not enough dps increase to justify. But you need to math up a combination of Diallas Robe, Ashes Amulet, Enhance Gem levels to reach that breakpoint. For 100% poison chance you need abyss jewels that go from 10-15% chance, you can almost double that with a darkness enthroned belt for 2 jewels, or if you use adorned and magic corrupted gems you can reach that as well. Because realistically you are only going to have like 7ish jewel slots and you need an anamanamanamanu as well and probably an elegant hubris which solves a lot of problems. You are locked in to quite many uniques as gear, you need to special craft a 1h thrusting sword with high attack speed and minion damage, then benchcraft trigger on that. You use max block, life/mana on hit, 75-90 maxres as defensive layers. Physical hits are a bit of a problem. But even with that instruction there is o much variety to this build. And poe 2 is like: For ED contagion have gear that has +chaos level skills, chaos damage, spell damage, energy shield, resistances. There is one tech with the lich ascendancy where you have your life be unchangeable as long as you have ES and you put a like 25% of your damage taken to life instead of energy shield. Which means that 25% just gets ignored. On the tree you take chaos damage nodes and Energy shield nodes. Done. Last edited by JeansJoe#2224 on Sep 9, 2025, 7:58:50 AM
