Showcase Video: https://youtu.be/dTGRyywXJHA Latest Video: https://youtu.be/6Z3qKCczYdA *3/14/25 Update:* PoB Theory Craft: https://pobb.in/NsY9H36pnh2v (Act 1 to End-Game on a Budget) Use the PoB Theory Craft for the campaign, but beyond that, use my own exported PoBs from Dahbadu_Paladin below for guidance on how to progress your character after maps and item acquisition priority as you get more money and skill points: 1. Act 10 with campaign gear: https://pobb.in/CRgZXBwEIMt2 2. Respec/Equipment switchup after the campaign: https://pobb.in/qOPnuW2NNiWw (1+ mil peak DPS & 50k+ EHP @ level 74 with 30c invested) 3. My level 87 PoB: https://pobb.in/jeu68heXi-7h (2+ mil peak DPS & 120k+ EHP with 60c invested) 4. My level 89 PoB: https://pobb.in/_BIRxGVzMtxn (3 mil peak DPS & 160k+ EHP with 1 div invested) 5. My level 92 PoB: https://pobb.in/cOr8fC4h92Lg (3.5 mil peak DPS & 170k EHP with 1.5 div invested) 6. My level 94 PoB: https://pobb.in/8fN2ZYAMRTFp (3.1 mil peak DPS w/ Ancestral Call & 211k EHP with 4 div invested) 7. My level 95 PoB: https://pobb.in/BT4zTihvYBUG (4.7 mil peak DPS w/ Ancestral Call & 1.3 mil EHP with 12 div invested; switchover to rare crit sword but still using Tanu Ahi gloves) 8. My level 96 PoB: https://pobb.in/6rLb63jV8i_W (6 mil peak DPS w/ Ancestral Call & 1.2 mil EHP with 14 div invested; switchover Admiral's Arrogance gloves and Perseverance belt) 9. My level 96 PoB with upgrades: https://pobb.in/D7UDpfhpniYY (8+ mil peak DPS w/ Ancestral Call & 2 mil EHP with 20 div invested; incorporating Lethal Pride and Cluster Jewels) ... more upgrades and bigger numbers to come. *Notes:* You will have to make a Templar and kill Hillock at the start of the game to get Smite. Duelist apparently doesn't get Smite to start the game. I adjusted things from the original theory craft video and instead ran Vitality, Clarity (low level), Arctic Armour, Herald of Ash and Herald of Ice as my reservation skills during the campaign. I did not switch over to Lifetap until I finished the campaign. I also tried out level 30 Determination and decided to spec out of it to get Elemental Valiance as my second ascendancy. When going through the campaign, try to use the skill groupings I have in the Act 10 PoB above. I'm not even running Determination at all, even in maps. I'm instead running Arctic Armour and Blood and Sand (Sand Stance) -- it's actually more effective. *Videos:* 1.

I know Legacy of Phrecia is a special event league, but feel free to ask questions about the build here. I just provided another update.

Build update today and new video was released. The build is pretty strong and cheap and seems to be able to tank most things in the game.

Posted a deep dive explanation video today, that explains things that may trip people up or that people have been confused about.
