WORK IN PROGRESS AND WILL BE UPDATED DURING NEXT FEW WEEKS and adding stuff until 3.26 start
Updating alot of stuff next weekend Because there does not exist any GOOD guide for SWT. I have taken my hands to create one for you where people will get all info you need. I have personally leaguestarted three times from act4 to lvl100 with SWT. Hello, its me the coc ice nova guy
Spoiler
My guides
CI coc ice nova OCCU https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3277048 Original coc (old) https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3056215 This guide is based on these two items Guide is split into three sections 1. Sanctum 2. Late game (all conent) 3. League start and early maps ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sanctum I have farmed thousands of divines in sanctum and this is the best and most chill build for it. A: Ralakesh setup B: Ralakesh with mageblood (expensive setup) C: Early sanctum D: i83 Sanctums (no ralakesh) A: Ralakesh setup With this setup you can run sanctum extremely good. Boots can be 20-30div on first weeks of league but rest of gear should be pretty cheap. Check gems in my mageblood pob. Instead righteous fire you put more duration. Updating pob/gems later Must have gear gloves Hrimsorrows will carry you for a long time especially if you can get good corruption but 60% cold convert rares will be BiS later on. Second ring/belt Would highly advice rares with Life, res, dex, str and cast speed on ring flasks Clusters On large cluster dont use grim oath or master of fundamentals, rest are all good. Medium is BiS before mageblood. You dont need 35% small clusters at mega budget. Use cheaper 25% or drop vitality/herald of ash/zealotry (haven't done math) GiGa DPS jewels Make sure militant faith has 'dominus' and check in pob if nodes you use get changed. On budget the two small devotions can be what ever. Balance of terror phys as extra, other mod dont matter really. On watchers eye you want high hatred crit% and there are a lot of secondary mods you can pick from. You need one rare jewel with 3% rmr to fit in all auras. Rest should be generic Life/dps/res/attributes B: Ralakesh with mageblood (expensive setup) I sold my gear months ago but here is pob of my EXTREMELY min/maxed setup that is way too overkill. Likely the fastest SWT sanctum runner anyone has created and could run under 10min sanctums. It had 313% movement speed (353% vaal haste) and permanent uptime on phase run and extremely fast cooldown with flame dash while having over 500mil DPS. It was extremely pain to min/max resistance and attributes and craft all 84clusters since they barely exists pob: https://pobb.in/EORcB1rh_dVA Ok so now you have farmed 2-4flask mageblood and want to follow my pob. Here are some things i want to mention. - only gem swap is more duration for righteous fire for even more DPS - just ignore 40% attribute enchant and do not try to balance attributes for rational doctorine. Having INT as highest attribute is still nice dps - you will be fine with just +1 skill or +2aoe corruption on chest - it's still perfectly fine to use rare ring. Would say last thing to invest is +1power charge ring. Why i went with precursor instead +1power rare ring? Well precursor has movement speed that is way better than any damage i can get - you are lower level? Don't use medium clusters - Getting 2flask mageblood is extremely good and we dont even need 4flask to be honest. With my endgame setup i just happened to find 3flask mb with hatred aura effect and just bought it (was saving for 4flask) But for real next league i am going to instantly buy 2flask MB and upgrade from there if even needed. There are some different setups you can do with 4flask mb like using progenesis and granite flask for more defence for example. The biggest improve you can do is making quiksilver and silver flask permanent and BUFFED. C: Early sanctum With this setup that mostly had lvl19 gems i could do i71 sanctum smoothly at level 85. Also to mention i had +1phys shield and +1all amulet. Instead these 'expensive' early league items i could have used few chaos 21swt gem instead. Would be ready to sanctum prison and add in budget animate guard setup. pob: https://pobb.in/r8F30_ILxfY4 - Same setup with budget AG/Zealotry. We go from 4.7 to +8mil DPS - Doable i83 sanctums with +1totem/30% reserve shield and tree optimization pob: https://pobb.in/0c_jYl-BLFV6 (use loadout) D: i83 Sanctums (no ralakesh) To come at weekend Animate Guardian Hatred aura
Spoiler
If you are not using this in sanctum you are just trolling. This setup adds like 50% bossdps while also getting free hatred aura and BUFFED. I have added AG mods in pob custom section and removing it you can see how insane DPS this gives. Pretty much only thing that can kill AG is lycias lightning phase so be sure you can kill lycia before this phase. Use leer/dying before buy expensive stuff because its not fun to lose them (have been there)
WARNING: REMOVE AG IF YOU ARE DOING ANY CONTENT OUTSIDE OF SANCTUM Body armour Boots only scorch % matters here Gloves Rare with regen rate 20-21%, flat regen and life. Implicit can be cold/fire exposure (close to same DPS) and i like to put extinguish but for real implcits does not matter since AG barely can hit before you kill stuff so ignore them if you want. Helmet Make sure to have green socket on crown. Leer cast on start/budget. Weapon Kingmaker is crazy strong for this build (recipe: soul taker+fusing orb+Heartbreaker) Dying breath on start/budget Last edited by juju#3413 on Jan 19, 2025, 4:16:17 PM Last bumped on Jan 7, 2025, 7:16:56 PM

Late game
Stuff damage tiering: damage/spell/totem damage -> global phys damage -> elemental damage -> cold damage we convert 100% phys to cold and with endgame setups we have about 55% cold and 45% fire damage because a lot of extra fire damage with balance of terror jewel we can shock and it can get pretty high actually. Its one reason why using skitter bots is total bait. You dont even need to hit a target when casting ele weak, just cast once every 10second to get massive dps buff. You have to cast it YOURSELF and not trigger from anything! Last edited by juju#3413 on Jan 10, 2025, 4:39:29 PM

League start and early mapping
How to? A: Level with spell you like and swap to SWT at act4-6 B: Play any build and swap to SWT when have astral projector C: Farm shit with metabuild and buy full gear and swap I want to warn that some of you will hate SWT without astral projector and some will be like this is just fine B-tier leveling. Once you get astral projectrol it feels like you are cheating XD It is HUGE different to play with astral projector... it's like playing different skill POB https://pobb.in/iKHtpMzs8MDa Different skill trees for campaign and maps I have made two loadouts for maps and maps low life so use them (top right in pob) Loadouts are based around early mapping with lvl18 skill gems. Campaign Personally i level with generic speedrunner strat: Rolling magma + holy flame totem and swap to SWT at around lvl 38(get multi totem support) when i have hrimsorrows and 4-link. Its pretty much up to you what prefer. Do not swap to SWT before first lab and hrimsorrows(~1c item). Do keep and try to get energy shield gear and bases so you can rely only on Eldritch battery and have all mana reserved. More ES = more chill gameplay. Act1
Spoiler
regex to check vendors fast: "r-[rb]-b|b-[rb]-r|r-b-r|b-r-b|nne|rint|ll g"
Create ranger, kill hilloc, check vendors and mule momentum support (recommended) Rolling magma B-B-B (use arcane surge before combustion) Holy flame totem B-R-R Flame wall Frostblink B-B Shield charge R-G-G (buy faster attacks in libary act3 or trade) (optional gems) I am personally clarity enjoyer at early campaign. Keep your arcane surge gem at low level(3). You can link it to multiple skills at once but would not stress about this. Optionally you can use flame dash instead frostblink at level 10 but i play campaign with frostblink/shield charge combo and swap to flame dash at maps. Act2
Spoiler
Kill all bandits
Herald of Thunder and Ice. I would still use clarity and vitality in my gem links and use them if i can. Should be usable all 4 when have sovereignty (confirm later) Buy these gems for later and level in weapon swap (no hurry if cant buy instantly) Act3
Spoiler
Elemental weakness and recommend linking automation with steelskin
Do libary quest and buy hatred and haste for later (optionally buy vaal haste from trade and level it in weapon swap) Also buy faster attacks for shield charge (if no R-G-G replace momentum) More libary gems to level in weapon swap (no stress if cant. Fine to buy in act6) Shockwave totem (make sure to level this, dont use yet) Act4-10 and SWT gem setup
Spoiler
Act4
Hopefully at this point you have enough currency to buy hrimsorrow gloves. Do first lab and continue with rolling magma and holy flame totems. If you have hrimsorrow and 4-link R-R-R-B or R-R-B-B you can switch to SWT at level 38. Optionally keep rolling with rolling magma and HFT and switch in act6 start (i wont do so and, rest of leveling will be as in SWT) Multiple totems support Shockwave totem swap at level 38 (or later) Shockwave totem R-R-R-B or R-R-B-B with faster casting instead fire damage (this is worse) Shield charge R-G-G (fine without momentum) Frostblink or Flame dash B-B Elemental weakness Automation steelskin setup (optional setup) You can add more duration or phase run in act6 or have both. Would highly recommend having automation+steelskin minimum Summon Lightning golem (optional, still worth using for campaign. Would remove at maps) Aura and heralds (will test and confirm stuff later) Okay so here i have to explain some things. At around level 50 you can use Hatred + haste + Herald of purity + Herald of ash. Make sure you have enough energy shield so you can just rely on Eldritch battery. At this point its around ~270es. If you have have too much issues then remove herald of ash and be eb/mana hybrid. Life mastery 15% mana taken as life us huge help! Before lvl 50 and the magical 10% herald reserve node do this: Use how it feels good in this ranking order 1. Hatred 2. Haste 3. Herald of purity 4. Herald of ash Bonus guy: Clarity. If still have this somewhere in links you can use instead something? Crit swap after 3rd lab or first maps
Spoiler
Would recommend doing lab before kitava so no resistance penalty. After 3rd lab you can choose if swap to crit or do it after kitava. Crit will be minorly better than old setup with EB. Do what is most chill for you.
The perfect gem setup Shockwave totem Concentraded effect as 5th link. If you want more aoe then instead use hypothermia No link gems (can use vaal haste) Frostblink or flamedash + arcane surge (arcane surge is useless after 4th lab) Shield charge (optional but makes things faster, dont rush into too big packs) Automation + Steelskin (+phase run optional, can also use more duration) Assasins mark. Ignore other gems if socket pressure but you can do this 4-link for nice DPS. Also dont use Assasins mark before you have whisper of doom from tree. Cast on death portal (very optional, costs ~2-5c) Gems to level for later maps for low life version Gear at league start? Well cant say much. Use generic life/res/str/dex on all slot. You really need a lot of dex/str for this build. It is fine to just down level some dex gems and keep them there so you can use them. For weapon you can just find/buy rare +1phys weapon and shield and things get faster. Make sure you can buy hrimsorrows before invest in anything. Focus on energy shield gear. You will need them because of Eldritch Battery. Early maps 1. Make sure to have 75% resistances and try get chaos res on gear. 2. Buy budget +1 phys/all skill weapon with decent stats if you dont already have one 3. Buy budget 5-link with decent stats. Preferably armour/es hybrid base with over 200ES because its way easier to get 2red 3blue sockets than pure ES chest. 5-link will be fine for red maps. More ES = better and smoother mana 4. Craft/buy medium cluster with sleepless sentries (just this node is priority) 5. Start saving for astral projector. This is biggest upgrade by far. Get instantly if can!!! 6. Buy heatshiver 7. Buy atziris promise and taste of hate flasks 8. Next step 'Early maps Low life' setup After buying few upgrades you should be able to do last lab easily. Would suggest swapping vitality instead herald of ash for other than izaro rooms. Getting +1 physical/all skill on amulet and shield is luxury, its fine without. Divine judgement is best budget annoint for amulet (sepia+teal+black) Early maps Low life You need 14% mana reservation efficiency from small cluster jewel or 'charisma' annoint (opal+gold+gold) to go low life with petrified blood so can use pain attunement for 30% more spell damage Last edited by juju#3413 on Jan 16, 2025, 4:23:43 AM
