[3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam

Hello guys!

Working hard on trying to clear all the game contents.

Could you please let me know what I could do to improve my build?

I will not be able to afford the Xoph amulet yet, so I went on the avatar of fire node.

Here is my gear:



I have tried to 6L another Bronn for a long time now but no luck just yet!

Thank you a lot for the guide, really helped me understanding how this game works

I will hopefully kill Shaper one day :)

First and foremost do replace your flasks. Get divine life flasks and get rid of the mana flask, it shouldn't be needed. And you really shouldn't be using an 'of animation' flask.

Your ammy is not that great either. Since you can't afford a Xoph's, Impresence or Carnage Heart are the way to go until then.

Other than that try to replace the abyss jewel on your belt. I realize you might need the int but you could get a much much better gem, and they're quite cheap.

You also forgot to link your second ring.

Thank you for your answer!

Here is the second ring:

The main problem is that i need some int to wear the gear and gems...maybe i should sacrifice a node or two for this?

Hey dudes. I just came back to PoE when this league started. It had been a while. I always just start playing the game with no build in mind and go the way that loot tempts me.

Surprisingly this time, I ended up doing well and I'm using cyclone/warchief/sunder for the first time. Long story short, I found this build, dropped sunder and picked up Ngamahu when I hit Act 10.

So now I am level 83 (my record is a level 84 essence drainer) and the last time I died was on the Act 10 boss. It's really fun, I have just been using upgrades that drop in T1-5 maps and it feels like butter cutting through mobs. I can pop all abysses I see at once, strongboxes, whatever. It's amazing.

Anyway - I just wanted say thank you even though I've half-assed it, as I slowly convert and use your build as a guide.

After picking through it a bit more while I'm at work today, I realized I think I actually got Bronn's to drop last night and I just tossed it in the bank not noticing it's a key item here. That will be fun to maybe work on while I map and try to socket something myself for the first time ever. Now I just need to figure out how to raise my damage a bit, although the 40k or so tooltip I'm at right now is far beyond anything I've ever played.

Favourite build last league, favourite build this league. Even better now with the new items!

Question for any1 that's done the math: how much of a DPS upgrade if Xoph's + xoph's skill build compared to Impresence/Avatar?

What shaper DPS on cyclone/molten burst in PoB should I shoot for if I want to try him? I dont want to rip the currency if I'm going to be dead in the water.



Also have a 24% added phys damage watcher's eye.

Think I can take him?

Not trying to be rude but you don't seem to have tested out the damage difference using the pastebin I pasted.

Dude I did! Ok check it. All your gear. Disabled everything but covered in ash (took off blood rage too as you won't be getting the frenzy charges on Shaper or his guardians anyway). Cleaned everything up so it's not so sloppy. Took out fortify and added fire pen and added fire. Now go select one or the other. Fire pen kicks out 297k, while added fire kicks out 286k. Fire pen brings +34.3% while added fire only brings +29.5% more damage.

I also cleaned up your tree in general. You get about 300 more life and a bit more damage. All you have to do is drop 10% increased leech from the VV cluster. You also get less mana consumption so you don't have to run with the mana flask. Tireless is a pretty kick ass node for this build as we run very close to the hilt when it comes to mana. Primevil is a waste I'm telling you. Numbers don't lie. Also take Cloth and Chain if you have to, it's waaayyy better than Diamond Skin as it gives you 36% increased evasion AND armor on top of the 15% resists. While DS only gives 15% armor and the resits. It's a no-brainer. Or you can drop CC entirely, roll cold and lightning on your boots, put one point back into 30 int and then you'd have one more node to kick around. If you put it into 5% life, you'd have 6720, which isn't so bad. I don't know why you rolled fire resist on your boots. You have way too much fire resist. If you take that off and roll int, you can save that node one tree and put it to better use. You'll still be 43% over which takes care of EW on red maps. You also don't need Sybil's anymore with the changes to reflect. I have 2 opal rings and I don't even know reflect exists anymore.

The optimal set up uses one 30 int node unless you get god gear. There is no way around it unless you get T1 int rolls on both your rings or your boots. You can't get them on your gloves because you need 2 slots for resists and the remaining suffix goes to attack speed. So you have to juggle it on your boots or ring slots and boots will be off base if they roll with T1 (will be ES gear) so you'll lose out on some defense. So it comes down to rings which are crazy hard to get as you need resists on them too and of course lots of damage (nicely rolled opal rings bring a crapton of deeps).

My previous question was dumb, as it was in the FAQ.

However, another question: I'm running Impresence and Avatar and just got myself a Watcher's with just phys to fire. However it shows no increase in tooltip while running Anger for some reason? Going to doublecheck in PoB.

edit: PoB also shows no increase in dps at all. Is it because with Ngamahu + Avatar you already convert 100% and since it's not "extra" it doesn't add anything? If so, it would be good to not recommend Watcher's Eye with phys convert on front page while running Avatar (I may have missed it somewhere, but did not see anything relating to that so far).

@Miffy23

You want "gain % physical damage as extra fire damage." Not converted.

One of these
