[3.14] StallionM's HexBlast Ignite Trickster | League Start ✓ | 10EX FEARED ✓ | Ultimatum Killer ✓
" The build is in no way falsely advertising at all. You can try upgrading and linking the gems properly as per the others has suggested and that should really help with the boss dps that you feel is lacking! What has been done since my last post: -Sirus A8 -Uber Elder (1 death due to eating 3 of his balls) -Pushed to Delve depth of 210 (Nothing amazing thought i'd just share :P) Next in line: -Complete challenges for deadly encounters -Sirus A9 -Oshabi -Aul POB: https://pastebin.com/CcTjQX2L | |

May i ask how you would craft the maces?
I tried it in craft of exile, but it says the affix is not available as crafting option? It seems its a delve/veiled mod only? | |
" Hi, I was in the same mood as you, like "I die all the time, making no damages, why the damages on the PoB are so high and I manage to do 0" before I asked the author of the guide some tips, linking my PoB. Some things were really wrong with my build (gems quality, boots enchant...), and it made this build so much better. From dying like a shit to Sirus, I managed to kill him deathless A8 and now I'm able to do the Maven, Uber Elder, Mavened Shaper, Mavened Uber Atziri (she's a breeze). The downside is that I still die sometimes, ofc ppl prefers build doing content deathless, but in the end, with the right optimizations, this build can go really far. The only thing I can't manage to do is the Feared, because I surely need better sceptres. So maybe ask the author (politely), and he will help you, like he did for me. | |
" At the moment, i'm trying out with Scorched Fossil + Lucent Fossil So far have not been lucky but have gotten some decent ones with 133 Max Mana + Fire damage with empty prefix for fire damage overtime multi. | |
" Hi there! Sad to hear that the build is not working out for you currently, I looked through your PoB and found a lot of unoptimised setups especially in the Gem department. I'll link the PoB here and further down i'll state the optimisations i've made. https://pastebin.com/G00YQzwc Starting off with Gem setup Scorching Ray Take out the scorching ray setup and swap in a Phantasmal Flame wall + Sigil + lvl 4 enhance. Phantasmal Flame wall with quality gives 22% fire exposure vs 25% from max stack scorching ray, and its instant + it cant be killed like totems Flammability Your Flammability setup only had 13 Quality with no Enhance. Hexblast's breakpoint is EVERY 5 DOOM. So essentially your anomalous Flammability had no additional benefit. Anomalous Flammability 20% QUALITY - LVL 4 Enhance - Impending Doom - Increased Crit Strikes (Helps with Elemental Overload Uptime) Flame Dash + Glove Setup You can do without second wind. Lvl 4 enhance - 2 curses - flame dash to juice up the curses and with lvl 4 enchance flame dash still feels fine. Arcane Cloak Juice your Arcane Cloak Duration as much as possible since it's our biggest defensive layer. Commit to a 4 link setup like I posted. Uptime should feel much better, take Entropy on the tree to make up for the Supreme Ego loss. Hexblast Essentially get the woke gems and level them and divergent Hexblast is pretty affordable at only 1.5ex. ITEM SETUP Stun Immunity for smooth Ultimatums and Mapping Get the 80% stun avoid boot enchant from Uberlab (build destroys lab so should be quick) Get a 20% stun avoid jewel from trade, found one and put it in PoB for 100c Sceptres get T1 crafts (your fire roll is T3) Quality your jewelry Corrupting Blood Jewel for 0.5ex If you're taking out supreme ego and buying a GG watchers, why dont you even divine it for 10%? Makes no sense that you spent so much and deviated from the original tree but do not know how the build scales / what is important. TLDR You're missing out on half of your potential damage with simple optimisations and PLEASE GET STUN / Corrupted Blood Immunity for clean and smooth ultimatums / mapping. ps. I did all content including rare Feared with much less gear and no watcher's eye. I suggest you watch some videos to learn the fights but if you said you've done them 1000s of times, you might have Alzheimer's. | |
" Hi, could you show me an example of the sceptre you are referring to? Thank you! :) | |
" Fracture T1 fire then lucent fossil spam for t1 mana is the most efficient, try to pick up generic DoT multi on the way and perhaps multi mod to finish it off afterwards! :) | |
" " Thank you guys for the vouches and praises! Hopefully the build is living up to your expectations and just a quick and simple optimisation I saw on your profile, get the Arcane Cloak helmet enchant! Its HUGE! :D Btw did a quick browse through your jewels, not sure if you guys are stun immune when mapping / clearing you need Boots + 2 harvest jewel implicits / syndicate craft / abyss jewel (ideally not syndicate craft as its conditional) | |
" So far, got the boots enchant, I did lab farming sessions, but was unlucky with arcane cloak enchant. I continue the farm, hoping it will drop. Actually, with 80% and the amount of dodge, I only get stun if there are a billion mobs, I'll try to check for a jewel, but I don't feel like it would be a huge difference, excepted for inscribed ultimatums. My next goal would be better scepters, or a Cloak of Defiance corrupted, if it's ever in my budget. | |

if some of you are interested in min maxing here's my POB, you can also check my character but i'll need to sell some of my gear soon so POB is more relevant
https://pastebin.com/3ShiCSc4 over 15 maven kills(you need to know how to play around the degen beams) i think 10-12feared invitations, i lost the count, i was doing cortex+ feared farming for a while at least 30+ various other invitations, a dozen uber elders/shapers/atziris/chayulas for feared witnessing i also farmed over 100 ex to fund my next coc indigon completely with this build since the investment i made into it is around 35-40ex and i saw very little gains with further investment when i played around in my POB most expensive pieces were unnatural instict(massive aoe gains, +2 radius for your ignite prolif) and cluster jeweles, again for aoe and faster ignites after that it was fertile catalysts on rellevant gear, everything else i found super cheap at max 1-2 ex per gear piece, including the chest i linked myself, base cost me 120c from the market, although it's an insane chest and should have been at least couple of ex imo, but mom builds usually focus on only cloak of defiance so i guess maybe not The base of how and what i changed is i sacrificed some survivability and recovery for aoe and clear speed recovery on bosses is not the best without cloak of defiance and not that high mana regen overall but its sufficient for a dodge capped build however i boosted my aoe a lot to the point i clear entire screen with 1 hit, i also linked my flame dash for faster movement here's some of the stuff i farmed with the build excellent money maker, alll things considered, i probably didn't even need to invest that much, but all the things i bought like clusters and unnatural instict were basically investment since i knew they will retain the price and i can resell easy peasy this build is a god tier mid budget build and i think people are doing something severely wrong if they can't get the damage or defense from it, it's not easy to udnerstand how everything comes together so i can kidna get that IGN JustifiedF Last edited by Justifi3d on May 14, 2021, 9:15:44 AM
