I played around and couldn't manage to fit skitterbots in with enough mana reserve:(

I was trying something to do at 1-3 first days of the new league.
Since we dont have anymore the harvest craft, find good itens to make the build work well will be a challenge! So why not use only unic items, easy to acquire, cheap and no complication right? With this setup i managed to do all endgame content (Sirius 8 / Simulacrum wave 20 with score 5). Since the ES is relative low, one shots heppen eventually (on bosses only and just sometimes). I know that some Gems are lvled and few are corrupted with +1 lvl and my char is lvl 98, but its just a test to help us on start :D There are no expensive item on this setup all itens are cheap. Follow below the itens, PoB and Stats print: PoB: https://pastebin.com/k1dkjdnw  It's not great, but it's good. ~4300 ES is low but we have 75/70 % block, take 25% less elemental dmg beause the chest and take 50% of Damage from Blocked Hits from Glancing Blows. Our effective ES is much higher. Try it on standard or havest before Haist begin... If no nerf come to Glancing Blows, probably this will be my league starter. I hope we have a good start :D |

-> If no nerf come to Glancing Blows, probably this will be my league starter.
unfortunately they did, now it's 65% dmg. btw according to the following chart that chest is like having 7.5k ES, rather than 4.5k right??? with 80% resists. https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Incandescent_Heart#Modifiers Also with 75% of them would be blocked. so looks good to me as a starting build.

I feel as though 75/70 is good on paper with glancing blows but it's not as good practically...
Patch notes should be out today right? BTW that chest looks amazing for league start! Not like we need a 6L...it's all just support skills. 4L would be fine lol Last edited by Hemzokuken#3433 on Sep 14, 2020, 8:00:28 PM

Glancing Blows got nerfed.

Lucky we can still get 50/40 without glancing blows ;)

|
|
Does the Glancing Blows nerf destroy this build or is it just minor inconvinience? planned to play this in heist.

" Lol bro this build doesn't even use it. You don't need it with how good the regen is. If you do want to spend a few points on block and drop dps you can hit flat 50/40 block which is great. |

Okay so now that the league has ended I would like to share my final results of grinding it out this league. Overall I had fun and am quite satisfied with how the build ended up in the end. I did not like the sacred grove. Having to play farmville as a minigame by building connections and stuff doesn't feel like it belongs in a dark action rpg and it was very buggy and laggy (most of my crashes to desktop were inside that place, and I had many...). All that clutter just trying to not click on your stuff while moving in there!? And all that extra quantity & rarity bonuses was too much for my PC so I could not harvest a lot of T4 seeds at the same time. Too bad as that was an effective way of actually getting a headhunter.
Anyway. I present Plant_Icestorm_Reap_FPS! Lame name I know but in the heat of creating a character in leaguestart I couldn't come up with something better. :) As I wrote in a prior post I have played an experimental build based on these cluster jewels: I had 6 of those, with similar rolls. To demonstrate the power of these I can relate to poe.ninja, where cluster jewels & unnerve is not included, that I have over 3x the amount of ES & over 5x the amount of damage displayed there! I tried out a crit version in the final week. More details below if interested. I could have improved my rings, body armour, gloves, helmet & amulet a bit further still so this could realistically be even better with gear like some other WI players have made here - taking it to over 30K+ ES & 600K+ unflasked avg shaper hit with defensive layers. EO version:
Spoiler
Offensive:  23.713 ES PoB avg shaper hit: - 679K unflasked - 873K with flasks - 978K with flasks & frenzy charges Defensive:  27.422 ES PoB avg shaper hit: - 567K unflasked - 743K with flasks - 833K with flasks & frenzy charges Crit version:
Spoiler
Offensive:  22.670 ES PoB avg shaper hit: - 742K unflasked - 1.43M with flasks - 1.71M with flasks, frenzy & power charges Defensive:  26.903 ES PoB avg shaper hit: - 490K unflasked - 774K with flasks - 952K with flasks, frenzy & power charges I leave you with a showcase of some videos: My fastest Sirus kill at awakening level 8 that I did during the last 30 minutes of the league: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44WVv_fyqvg A Vaal Outpost in deep delve at depth 1016 with scary mods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrYm6g6Q2lM ...and an Aul kill at depth 1025 with very difficult mods. This was one of my goals I set to do in this league actually. However, I completed it today after the league ended because I found him right next to my delve path, right in the end, during the last 4 minutes before league ended! It was extremely difficult to do this fight, probably the hardest I've done. I did some minor tweaks to pantheon, flasks & a passive skill respecc for more ES leech but now afterwards I realize I could have made some additional tweaks such as linking fortify in staff & of course spamming dynamite on him to stun him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyz7-UQbd5U |
