Hah nice. I stopped minmaxing because it just kinda felt unnecessary. Overall makes a great all-rounder that's tanky, smooth, and DPS is solid. Unfortunately, recoup is too slow and taking a ton of elemental damage can still kill you, havent figured out the right solution to this yet. Whats the advantage of this build over skele mage? Looking at the weightings, rolling off of an anom or divergent unearth is a 1/8.5, but for the cremation its about 1 in 11 odds (when rolling off an anomalous, 1/16 otherwise), so maybe worth just buying it for that one. It's really very cheap (relative to it's power) but you can invest a ton of currency min-maxing it. I assume that the +int is not needed and you got it by random chance when crafting. Personally I found it refreshing to come up with other strategies for making currency than just spamming maps over and over as fast as possible like every other character. This would prevent all of that. Need about 10ex to get started and for 15ex you can clear the entire game but with a lot less single target (around 5mil probably) than I currently have (around 20m). A little expensive though. I really hope you or someone pulls this off as I really want to see the writeup about it. I recommend having 15-20ex to get started to smooth it out. If you dont need immunity, I would consider using the new unique jewel that makes your max res even out so you only have to get max res on one resistance. >Overall there's not much point getting 100% phys taken as ele. There's really no budget version because you need Phantasmal Cremation for it to function. I can literally afk in simulacrum or T16 juiced maps and not die. Should be noted that I was farming Simulacrums deathless on pretty low end gear. The melding of the flesh version might be able to, I'm not sure on the defence required to tank that. That's a pretty good idea, certainly cant hurt! Been doing this since bfbb and it really helps. Then you lock suffixes and either aisling or veiled chaos until you unveil +2 Aoe or proj, then craft the other. Couldnt see it at first glance, but I may have missed it. Obviously it's not A tier clear, but if you've got the rhythm down it's not bad at all. Ive followed many of your builds in the past (we seem to look for the same things in builds) and enjoyed them, but always just the forum guides and YouTube. What makes FR good for CoC-style builds these days? I dont know if I understand correctly because it seem it was ignite the source of damage but recoup only works with hit. That makes sense. I've been eyeing it since then, and finally decided to go ahead with it this league, knowing that Apep's would be available through Incursion. to be fair, i *was* hoping to get around the hundreds, just not to go fully degenerate building entirely around self-cursing and hitting thousands with no upper bound except the game engine itself. Managed to mostly salvage my 3.14 version after the nerfs from 3.15 and 3.16, but it helps that it's in standard with pretty great gear. Alt quality weights seem to be 10 / 210 for phantasmal, so surely one in 8.5 isn't accurate? Right now I'm on around 600k per hit with 2-4(Dying Sun) projectiles hitting a single target. Maybe youll come up with a better idea. OP is a part of my discord/frequents my streams where I've talked a lot more about the build. Even with just regular +4 gloves you would have 80% of my DPS waaaay under your budget. Very flexible. Old immortal gluttony of elements. If you don't have phantasmal unearth your damage is going to be super medicore. My FR build is block with Glancing Blows and 88% max res. You can use the watcher's, taste of hate, chieftain ascendancy to get close to 50% phys conversion. 3 Ex for me to get into the game at the time. with a bit of increased duration from gem and tree, you could make it last over 50 seconds of immortality Frost Shield adds a ton of EHP to the build, since it's effectively a 3600 ES shield at the cost of 910. If getting the clarity watcher, do I just run a lvl 1 clarity? As long as the source is a Hit, It's interesting, but personally I've found it alright to convert something close to 50-60%, that already makes you like 70-80% tankier Vs Phys if you have any Armor. I say go hit based spell CI chieftain. Is there any downside in using ilvl 69 sorcerer gloves for the craft? Probably expect them to cost like 20ex+? It's also really hard to go for more. Crafting with Faceted Fossils to get +1 Dex and +1 Str gems -- which are suffixes. Lets say you have endurance charges, jugg ascendancy, pantheon, 100% phys as ele with high res and transcendence that reduces damage from trauma stack for a total of 97.5% (I think this is more or less where youll land). You can get a similar weapon with only slightly less single target for a few ex. hmmmm.. just gave me the idea of maybe: and since i've got a shield in mind and shield is one of the best slots for max res, this seems like a lot of work that loreweave solves for a lot less. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/625736934362316830/943252497626181662/unknown.png?width=498&height=463, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwv7eZdO124, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLHL_vZiA5o, Almost immortal, huge EHP with huge recovery, Can do all content in the game on a relatively small budget, Can learn boss mechanics if you want since almost nothing kills you. I didn't play during delve league so kind of clueless about how exactly to craft that. Trying to recreate this build with all I have earned the entire league but I have to be honest, I'm both dying "pretty" easily as well as not dishing out insane DPS. :D. Godddd I do love my 1-button builds XD Dernire dition par luorax, le 17 dc. all of them are using cyclopean coil though. Combine that with interacting with the Expedition vendors and occasionally hitting some big rerolls and the currency just comes pouring in. Is there any new version of the build or is it just that OP has gone CI on their own? I made my helmet with Essences of Woe which are like 2c each. OP is not blowing smoke that amazing results can be achieved cheaper. I prefer FR CoC for simulacrum farming because it's got better clear=more reward stacks. Dernire dition par luorax, le 18 dc. Your burning witch character's probably my favorite build I've played in poe; it makes me cackle when I play. Its temporary immunity (except for chaos dmg), but its probably the only one you can reliably get and scale.

What's one thing I find fun is there's room for custom stuff to play around with. Or have I got that wrong and they're all the same? All the sites only show the life up to level 90. the new Black zenith gloves > so what's reddit's take? This also frees up the other Ruby flask to be anything you want, probably just use a Sapphire with Charges Gaines When Hit and whatever other mod you need and call it a day. I have around 24 hits/second which is enough for permanent EO uptime even with 5% crit. You can invest in more damage, go melding of flesh for around 87/87/87 resists (even though I'm already basically immortal), invest into cluster jewels..etc. I haven't *tried* to tank the memory game.

The gloves are a bit RNG but it should be well within your budget still. Skill effect duration also works on the stack duration, meaning 3 points in either of the duration clusters takes you from 6 seconds to 8.7 seconds per buff. I don't really want to invest anymore into this guy so I'm just gonna farm maps and try to accumulate wealth. But if the character cannot map and the bosses are actual jokes these days..this character only has 1 use - Simulacrum farming which a lot of builds can do anyway with the occasional death, Just the way PoE is these days, most builds if they arent extremely fun to play arent worth playing, this build doesnt seem fun at all :/. But it's a game, if you're enjoying yourself who gives a shit? This is what Unearth spawns. Less mods you can hit that aren't the ones you want.

There are also a bunch of other cast loops to try besides eye of innocence. What if I league started skele necro mages? Ahh, I like that idea a lot. Is that considered bad clear? Granted, we need to chill for that to work, but with Shaper stat sticks, Taste of Hate and Hatred on the table, our means for proccing it are plenty. The build is an absolute monster and I've done sim30 easily all elder and shaper encounters with maven. Hey Gryph! 4 Ex. You want to get 3 cremations up then just spam Unearth. Mostly 5s with a few 6s each run depending on RNG. Sitting now on unearth gem level 29. Uber Elder farming is pretty decent, and of course Simulacrum like you said. Had 6 spells on cwdt to ignite, and killed myself on a small pack lol. Could you opt to use a +2 corrupted viridi's veil with +5 unearth corpse level? Rotblood ring + temp chains curse effect stacking to get to max capped 75% reduced expiration rate on yourself, which is a 4x duration multiplier. For faster mapping I use +4 Wyrmsign gloves or Sinvicta weapon swap + Obliteration to speed things up. Clearspeed is just mediocre. good call, found one from last league that was doing unearth + DD ignite. no, it's pretty much just from hits. I do have leech from a mastery.

AG was something I had considered but didn't want to mess with just bc it didn't seem necessary and I'm paranoid he'd die in Simulacrum where I'd want him. Including block, suppression, dodge, and likely damage conversion too IIRC the maximum number of charges that it is possible to get is around 11 (OMGItsJousis had a meme build with a 33 charge Discharge--11 of each--a few leagues ago). 5 stacks isn't enough to actually ever be dangerous so it's good enough. It ticked all my boxes - almost un-killable, decent DPS, and Cremation! I finished with harvest augment defense, i had it in my harvest bench, tried and it works, I didn't know that you can use harvest augments with eldritch influenced items. - Divergent Animate Guardian with a fire debuff setup. For anyone still undecided, if you don't mind a little sluggish mapping and just want to faceroll this is it. Not an issue on this build as we're already functionally immortal to physical but I just see it all the time, people thinking they have 90% physical mitigation and they dovs an 800 damage hit. Is the phantasmal part just to also explode the corpses of all the shit you're killing for more dd damage? Sorry I'm late to the party. you would have to get your fire, cold, or lightning max res to 90% and then use the jewel to match your others. Conditions d'utilisation, Avertissement sur la confidentialit et Avertissement sur les cookies. Imo it's also really important to realize when your league starter is good enough, and at that point just saving up currency rather than investing into the league start character anymore. I managed to farm 200 ex + Mageblood this way within the first 2 weeks of the league. Definitely going to take some work to figure out, but it should be doable if you get your base cast speed right. It's not a huge deal, just a little bit more loot. Thanks for your post. eye of innocence fire dmg taken loop Great build, out of interest why do you take Ghost Reaver when the build has no leech, and Elemental Overload with no crit? Its not fun, but the gem grand heights are consistently good money. I came back to the game in the middle of Incursion, and only heard of this build at the end, roughly when the guide was posted by Waggle. Does it simply have great numbers or is it a mechanical thing? The unveil and the craft need ilvl60 (sorc gloves with less than ilvl 69 can't drop). Do not pay more than 9ex or so for the gems unless you really don't want to risk any RNG. - Assuming Awakened Fire Pen does the exposure stuff, though not quite as good, change out Wave of Conviction for Divergent Purifying Flame. Thanks! Pretty tanky at this point with just a 30c 450+ ES chest, but got slapped every now and again, not very often, but did die. In my case I'm am pretty happy with the result, since the 3rd suffix is very risky to fix anyway and the dex is not completely useless. Fortunately, I can usually hide behind my totems. I've looked at your forum post for your build but there's no mention of the CI version (couldn't find it at least hehe). You can put Frost Shield on Cast when Stunned, and it automates itself, since CI means you'll get stunned constantly. Then the switch to the ES on hit boots, incandescent heart, and CI. If any build existed that was the best at bossing, mapping, and simulacrum farming on a budget then it would get nerfed into the ground because nobody would be playing anything else. The more its known. Tankier? And for unearth its actually less expensive on average, given that regrading lens forced the reroll. The linked gear budget is pretty high but that's almost entirely the gloves + empower/enlighten 4. Then scratch the petrified blood idea and go CI instead so that you have basically no weaknesses (phys is 100% or close to taken as ele, chaos immune and ele is fully recouped) Overall I think it very much works (obviously not as good as immune version) but need a lot of investment. Probably going to try and get a mageblood if I can. and afterwards I'll probably work towards one of these builds. Any tips how to maximize damage output? Really cool build, what would you use as rare jewels? Filled in various jewelry, got ES to 6500+, felt good, but again, every now and again ignored something super obvious thinking I would tank it and didn't. Is that around what you get? Gryph I cant find your discord. You have to do the math yourself. Chaos+projectile+AOE based spell so you get to use wither, extra projectiles, gem levels, etcMake profane bloom pops very potent and big AOE, and then because CoC we scale up to 10-ish APS for maximum procs per second. Optionally could go with a double curse on him too, might play with that. Been quite a lot of interest in Simulacrum Wave 30 builds on here and I've been posting comments but thought I would just post a video people can search for easier. I have an obvious upgrade that I just haven't bothered with because I already have so much damage and I just didn't feel like spending 5ex for an Empower 4but that would get me to level 30 Unearth. This is 6ex for Unearth and 7.7ex for Cremation on average at the current price of 0.7ex per try. Then you can get the 90% capped res on all of them. If you do Sirus I recommend swapping on any crappy CB jewel just to be immune to everything he does though. As of a few hours ago, I am now 1 Mirror of Kalandra richer. That would be a strong DPS one. Hey! hey Gryphenprey, where could I find your Melding of Flesh pob? r/PathOfExileBuilds Oh so you spawn cremation then keep spamming unearth? It feels like just 2 of the out of maybe 5-7 harbingers. Thanks for the advice! Also helmets have more useful implicits from the new influences but that's a super minor concern. This ignores everything but that hard-cap. Does this also apply to phys dot? With Obliteration + Rampage it's actually not too bad. (just trying to understand it). assuming we don't use loreweave then, how high can we get one max resistance after -15% from transcendence? the max res jewel is interesting, though. I know I can't since that's one of the few things in the game that still kills me (and I suck at phase 3 memory game). no no, we, the player, apply exposure (a weaker one) and they don't stack. Yep there's tons of really good cluster jewel options! That made sense to me, so I'm calcing based on these numbers. It's just been a command in my twitch chat -> !discord. Or is there something I'm missing in relation to not using it on a normal quality gem? Determ Block/Clarity mana as ES/Disc ES on hit/Disc ES Regen/Determ Phys damage reduction. Yea average price for Unearth using Lens is about 6ex but it is RNG which can be fickle. Unfortunately, the way PoE works these days is you have to tailor a build towards a specific purpose if you want maximum efficiency. You'll have about half the single target DPS without them (8-10m) but it's still easily more than enough to clear everything in the game, especially since you can ignore almost all boss and monster mechanics since you're nearly unkillable. Defend with double armour - our physical mitigation against a 10k hit is 86%. 10 stacks is 30% more. Can confirm was very easy Simul 30. If youre using alt qual attack speed boneshatter lvl 8 (3% more dam, 1% inc attack speed, 51 (31 from gem 20 from qual) damage taken per stack. Felt the 25% reduced elemental quite a bit - suddenly stuff that killed me didn't, noticed every now and again a dip in ES when I took a big hit, but survived, so pretty tanky at this point. Needed the 8-9% reservation on the helm through the new crafts - did it myself without too many rolls though. The 90% damage reduction would be more than any amount of armor could ever reasonably give you, since it doesn't scale off the hit you take the way armor does, since it's just the flat percent amount that elements do. Would love your watchers eye for this build I tried using eye of innocence and procing tons of ignites so that Id be regenning shitloads at all times, but it didnt quite work. I've cleared everything in the game with this character including an 85% quantity The Feared. I wouldn't respec without both Phantasmal Gems though, better off just igniting until you have them both. The first stage is just buying the shied. ), along with Sorrow of the Divine flask, into casting haste or a reverse self-chill. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1293933797?t=00h19m51s. Feels kinda bugged honestly I really felt like this should work better (yes I made sure to generate charges first). Crafting with Faceted Fossils to get +1 Dex and +1 Str gems -- which are suffixes. Ive been using the phantasmal unearth alt-quality setup. 2018 05:47:32. Hey this is a week old or so, but do you have a PoB or guide/video for this? Throw on a Doppel's for the 10% regen, and a Springleaf for 3% (6% when low life) and he's got some solid regen and 60 or 70k life. I'll have around 10ex or so to spend. Edit: Glove crafting = Crafting with Faceted Fossils to get +1 Dex and +1 Str gems -- which are suffixes. close to 50% conversion transcendence is great and all, but i'm really here to push it as far as possible in search of immortality. FWIW, not many builds can do Wave 30 Sim, especially not on a budget. Since you'll get a lot of Res from purities, using one of the new items that give - Res but insane boni could also be a thing, Strength stacking isnt the worst idea since lethal pride can hit quite a few useful phys as fire or that keystone that does something with converting elemental damage taken as fire, could be worth looking into. https://poe.ninja/scourge/builds/char/ww6321773/jackking_boom?i=0&search=class%3DChieftain%26keystone%3DChaos-Inoculation
