Hi all,

I have decided to put my multi mirror build to rest. Best build I have ever played.

I have put all my gear up for sale, including discounting both the mirror ring and mirror wand. The ring has already sold.

I will hang around the thread and try and answer questions for players.


Thanks for making my first league as awesome as this one. Would not have made it this far without your wisdom/knowledge/guidance. This game punishes new players by providing them 1000s of options/choices/trees as early as Day 1 so I'm hoping they can strike a better balance of simplicity and complexity with POE2.

You mentioned this was the best build you have ever played. I don't have a point of reference simply because this is my first build but I'm curious though, what other builds have you played thus far and why is this the best one?

Getting ready for POE2? I should probably retire soon too as my IRL work backlog is filled to the brim lol


They continue to stress that POE2 will be easier for new players due to the massive amount of tutorials in the game. I guess we will see if that is true.

I have been playing POE since 2013 and the number of builds I have played is far too many to recount. I consider this the best build because it allowed me to earn the most money so that I could continue to upgrade it to levels I never have in other builds. This is my first 40/40 challenge completion and the first time I have killed every Uber deathless.

I will likely not be playing POE2 on early release but I will watch others play on twitch. I will probably start playing when the game is at the 1.0 level.


What was the activity that you used to generate most of your currency -- and why wasn't it possible with previous builds you played? This is my first league and build so I'm curious (and actually afraid to try a different build now because it will never be as good as this build)

What are your thoughts on this mirror wand from sushi shop? https://i.imgur.com/VW66RQz.png

Since I can't use Profane Wand, I'm thinking this could automatically trigger the brands in the wand so I dont have to stop casting novas to cast the brand.

P.S. -- Had a streak of good luck transferring the delve max mana mod from a gold ring base via recombinator and hitting the T1 life on first regal and I was able to craft the new ring (spent around 150ish div mostly because of veiled orb misses and getting the suffixes via harvestcraft) to finally cap my resistances: https://pobb.in/L_wSnxSx2mYm

Thanks alot! Didnt realise militant faith is overwriting the nodes. I had followed what you mentioned and ran a 8mod t16 with ease!

Apologies for the corrupted pob, this is the updated https://pobb.in/wQ0iFsvNh6cK

Any further pointers you might have for me to further improve?



hello! here are some more comments:


* You amulet has the wrong anointment. We want Infused, not Instability. We already get Instability via our tree.

* You can use some tattoos to help you get closer to attack block cap on your +10 strength nodes

* You should change your glove implicit from +1 to max cold res to "chance to Unnerve on hit" for a nice DPS boost

* you need to get quality on many of your skill gems. That will add a slot of offense and defense. Please see the build guide so that you know which gems benefit from quality and which do not

* You do not need to level up GMP support gem. All that does is cause the build to need more dexterity. You can delevel that as low as you want.

* After you fix GMP, you should focus on getting new gloves. Many of your stats on the gloves do not help our build. We are a spell based build and you have multiple "attack" modifiers that are being wasted.


Thanks alot mate, made some adjustment to my gear and clearing maps was a breeze!

Made some changes to my items as instructed by you guys, im guessing my next step is a wand with crit?

* As you are using the Intensify support gem, you need to change your caster mastery to "...+ 1 to maximum Intensity". This will give you a nice DPS boost

* Since you will be getting a nice DPS boost from the change above, I would then focus on getting chaos resistance into your build by upgrading a couple of your rare items


* You still have some gems that would benefit from an upgrade to 21/20 or 21/0 as appropriate (see build guide so that you know which gems benefit from quality and which do not)




Yeah i use the other caster mastery because im running Abyss hoard atlas tree, i'll look into more chaos res.
Thanks tufferugli, AndyLovesHisBge, and all those who answered by question!

Just want to share my updated build and also maybe final build after a few 21/20 gem upgrades. Also need to grind to level 100 for that last skill point.

Not sure if I did the POB dps calculations right, but I got 28m dps and 1m eHp.

*Bleeding and corrupted blood immune.
*Elemental ailment immune
*Curse immune w/ flask
*100% Stun avoidance after swapping flask

While mapping I also found that it helps to have a second Foible with Mind Drinker on hand if you like clicking on blue altars that reduce mana regen.

Since this build already has a high crit chance, wouldn't adding the fobidden jewels for Inevitable Judgement be an massive Dps boost ?
Im talking about the Cluster Version of this build.

A small percentage of ice nova builds use Inevitable Judgement. You just need to trade off what you gain via what you lose from missing two rare/unique jewel sockets to decide if it is worth it to you.

It was a combo of things. I typically play 6-8 characters a league so I don’t min max them but I enjoyed this build so much I just stayed with it as my second character.

The league mechanic and Faustus specifically had a lot to do with this as running various strats was so easy.

That wand looks great.

*I have cleaned up your config. Use this config going forward so that you can compare apples to apples when comparing POB's.

*You can change your boot implicit for ailments as it does not help you seeing that you are ailment immune.

*You need to change your glove implicit from +1 to max cold res to Chance to Unnerve on Hit

Thanks for the link! I Finally found out how to add the Haunted enchant in the configuration.

now that you have the Unnerve Implicit on the gloves, don't forget to enable the config "Is the enemy unnerved"
