3.2 Immune to everything Ascendant sunder
|
Hello and welcome to my Ascendant sunder build guide
This is a written up version, you can watch a full video guide here: https://youtu.be/3Q59l7pQySE And a leveling guide here: https://youtu.be/7y_V8gCNBP0 Pastebin for Path of Building: https://pastebin.com/RU6Vi0Ev The idea for the build came from the harsh economy that we have this league. I've been using so many alcs and scours rerolling red maps that I was actually loosing money running them. So I've decided to make a build that is immune to as many map mods as humanly possible and that's what this build is. The only map mod that I am not currently running with it is cannot leech. Every other mod or combination of mods for that matter is not a big deal for the build. It is not a bossing character, but I have killed all of the end game bosses with it, aside from uber elder.

For the minor god I recommend soul of the shakkari for the poison immunity For the major god we'll be using upgraded soul of the arakali, for the increased life recovery rate Passive Tree & bandits:

Gear breakdown:

For the weapon you want a high pdps axe or mace Your off hand should be a shaper stat stick Chest has to be loreweave, there are not alternatives. It gives us imminity to minus max res map mods and good defence against extra ele demage on maps. On top of that it boosts our damage by a lot Best in slot gloves are 2 socket tombfists, but feel free to use some rare gloves with phys damage to attacks and attack speed roll For boots I highly recommend kaom's roots. Aside from massive ammounts of flat life they give us immunity to stuns, freeze and temporal chains For helmet I recommend buying a white base with sunder enchant and essence crafting it. We're looking here for a lot of resists and some life Best belt base is stygian vise. Look for life, resistances and some elemental damage with attacks on it Amulet is the place to get massive ammounts of damage from. A shaped amulet with double physical as extra elemental mods is the way to go What you're looking on rings is mostly life, elemental damage with attacks and some phys rolls. Add some resists on top of that and you are golden The flask setup I went for is a single instant life flask, sulphur flask with bleed immunity, lion's roar (damage + physical mitigation), taste of hate (damage + physical mitigation) and atziri's promise (pure damage) As for jewels any combination of life, attack speed and physical or area damage is the way to go SKill gems:

Our main 6 link is sunder The 6'th link is going to be either or depending on how much extra elemental damage you've got in your build Our movement skill setup Our auras Totem for some extra single target Unavailable And finally a very important cwdt setup, that's the way we proc soul of arakali. Temp chains are there for some extra defences I absolutely adore this build. This is by far the best sunder build I've ever played. I would highly recommend it to anyone, doesn't matter if you've got tons of currency, or none at all. Hope you guys also enjoy it ! Last bumped on May 25, 2018, 8:22:59 PM

Looks interesting; solid DPS in Path of Building; however I would like to see an overview as to why this build is more efficient/better/different than the traditional (full) Slayer, Gladiator, Raider, etc. builds. I'd create a "why Ascendant for Sunder?" section and talk about what you mention in your video. Most people want to read the build details here, not have to watch a video to get the information. I'd also make a leveling guide (Path of building).
BTW I went ahead and broke down your leveling overview (below) and also created a multi-tree PoB that shows buildout in phases (including ascendancies). Expanded PoB with Trees

So currently L46 with this build; it was doing good until recently - the Brightbeak and Princess just aren't enough damage - strangely, I think you stated in your video you used these until 68? I don't see how. May want to talk more about your weapon progression prior to end-game weapons (you jump from level 20 gear to end-game -- a HUGE gap in the middle).
Additionally, the skill tree you show prior to switching to Duelist only requires L46 - but it's near impossible to solo Izzy Cruel at 46 with Brightbreak/Princess (and merc is required to open duelist) so not sure what you did here. Might want to cover it in more detail, but as it stands, the build seems to sit on 20-30 points and not spend them until one gets the Duelist starting point. Mana is a HUGE issue as well - even with Basphemy/Warlor's Mark and Praxis, it's easy to run out. I assume you just guzzled flasks as you ran through the content? Also I don't see you mentioning you used Praxis - how did you manage your mana while leveling beyond Warlord's Mark? Mana regen is so bad (as is damage ~46) that doing bosses requires going back to town to refill flasks just to get mana to fight them because warlord's doesn't work and the bright/princess doesn't do enough damage. I think you may have skipped a big part of your build L40-68 as it relates to weapons/mana management during fights prior to getting the mana leech node. Right now I don't see how this build could even do Izaro Cruel as it currently stands. Definitely a number of things missing from the guide. All that and a bag of chips!

Nice 3extra-stat-stick. Nice 221% main hand...
Actually rather low damage considered those items. | |
