3.9| Stress-Free PoE - DODGING CYCLONE |SSF the Atlas w/ 1 Button & Any Gear|Dungeon Crawl PoE!

Hi again. I want to discuss something.

I know you don't use uniques items and it's a guide for SSF, but for a trade league, I want your opinion about this tree modification (check the items too please).

Pastebin code for Path of Building

I will explain what I think: I delete "Charging Offensive" because thanks to Darkray Vectors we can reach 75% dodge attack hits and I want these points invest in more damage. Besides, the chance to gain an endurance charge is when an enemy HIT you, and this is an evasive build, so that is 2 reasons to drop it. The other reason is that the attack speed is enought with the frenzy charges and the boots gives +1 max frenzy charge, so that mean more speed, dmg, etc. I drop "Unpredictable Offensive" because we have enough attack speed without it (no?), again don't need the "dodge attack hit" and is better to invest it in other nodes that improve more our damage.

The problem was to know where would be the best dmg nodes, I would like to reach "Blade of Cunning" and/or "Rampart" because PoB show good dmg (I know PoB is not perfect, so correct me too if i'm wrong here) but requires lv 96 atleast (and we don't want to sacrifice Life), so I choose "Master of Force" (3.1% dmg per point), "Depth Perception" (2.8% dmg per point) and/or Heartseeker (3.8% dmg per point). Of course with these we depend more of crit chance to reach that % dmg, but using "Diamond Flask" we can reach to 50% crit chance (or atleast PoB show me that). So here I have a doubt: People say when someone use crit builds, better have it capped, but that means 95% of crit chance, and we reach half, so... It's a bad idea to use crit. nodes?

And in the defensive part, with Jade, Quartz, Basalt(dmg reduction)/Silver(onslaught), we get 75% dodge attack chance, 54% spell dodge chance and 71% evade chance. I don't know how good/bad will work cause I don't have enought money for now to check it. But I will in a few days.

I was thinking too, what about change a support gem from Cyclone setup to use Impale Support and reach Impale nodes? It wouldn't improve ever more our physical damage? I didn't use a build who took Impale but I read that is the best for physical damage. Like something like this:

Impale Tree = 90% chance to Impale and 99% accuracy rating

If you have a better suggestion about nodes to choose, or can explain me in what i'm wrong or if your nodes will work best, etc., I'll appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi

ist this Endgame Viable? Lacks lot of life (your Videos have like 4.5k life which means you get oneshotted by end game bosses easy if you dont dodge a hit/cast) Can anyone show some endgame content with this build or is it just for some low tier mapping?

PoB DPS: 250k dps (to low for endgame)
life: to low for endgame
resis: hard to cap due to str requirments

Ehhh 75% dodge, 50+% evade 20% block. Getting hit is actually pretty rare. Between avoidance and your defenses you can survive endgame. I'm wearing total junkarino and ive got 4651 life. I imagine with good gear you can bring that up another 1k.

I do agree with the problem of DPS though. Its quite low and there doesn't really seem to be a great way to fix that.

I am loving this build...3 life flask with anti bleed QS flask with anti freeze and a free flask for whatever! Just one question..Can i get rid of the banner since i do not use it for say like leap slam for small movement over ridges and cliffs?

Hey GamerNerdRage81!

Thanks! I appreciate the time you took to be encouraging. I'm glad you're liking it!

You may do anything you like with your gems. If you find you're not using or remembering to use the banner skill, by all means, remove it for any gem you like.

Hey,

Thank you for the build, game is going pretty smooth :)

But I have one important question (maybe I've missed it somewhere in the comments):

For the chest 5-6 links > does the GEM ORDER make a difference?

I'm finding many 5-6 links chests but colors are always in a wrong order, is this really important to have them like you wrote in the guide? Or maybe I can use for example GREEN > RED > RED > BLUE > RED > GREEN?!

And have a nice day :)

Hey Atamia!

I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for the thanks!

The order of gems that you use for your main skill does not matter at all. As long as they are linked, they will impact the skill the same way. There are no links within this guide where the gem order matters.

I hope you have a nice day as well.

How is this doing in red maps and at what investment?

Hey weppe1337!

The build does great. The example video that I posted is with my mediocre SSF gear. None of my gems are level 20 either, let alone qualitied or 20/20. I really like this build in late endgame for both survivability and damage.

on a side note: I found 'Vaal Cyclone' and I am not much impressed at the moment - nice to have some mobs pulled near, but I seem to be immobile for the duration. Do I miss something?

Hey Nocturnus!

Nope, you didn't miss a thing. Not everyone likes the Vaal version of a skill they normally like. Most Vaal skills are typically bonus damage. I don't really focus on them because I forget to activate them 90% of the time.

Hey!

First time I saw one of your "Stress-Free PoE" posts I kinda skipped over it... Now after seeing you put out more and more; I recommend your builds to any of my friends who get the classic pre-league "Idk what to play help please". Love that you're making guides that don't require you to be a veteran. Please keep up the amazing work!

Hey Pixel_Kitten!

That's a wonderful post. Thanks for taking the time to be so encouraging! I really appreciate it. Thank you very much :).

This build is very fun to play ! At first i didn't know if i could sustain red map and i still have to improve my gears to gain more DPS, but it works quite well.

Hey Phoenix254!

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it! The grind for better gear is one of my favourite parts of PoE. Hopefully, you're getting enough drops to keep you going. I appreciate the encouragement. Thank you!

Hey Wrecker! I love this guide. I did spot a typo though. In your list of gems by story acquisition, Berserker and Immortal Call are only available to Rangers via Lilly Roth, not Siosa.

Thanks PolarisNC!

I'll change that right away. Thanks for pointing out the error.

And I'm glad you're loving the build too! I appreciate you letting me know. That's very kind of you.
