Path of Building Code

Build Overview

This build utilize Level 30 Impending Doom Support that is coming from Doedre's Scorn Foulborn variant. Everytime when your curse is experies triggers a Doom Blast. That will deal damage. Normally that would take a up a long time so we will need to overwrite your cruse on the target. We will use Vixen's Entrapment and this item will help with that.

You also just use the helmet from Level 39 and destroy the game with it. Its up to you!



How this is works

You link impending doom (in to your helmet) to a curse you want to use. Temporal Chains will be in our case. If that curse "expires" it will deal damage the blast. We will force that curse to "expire" by overwriting it with more curses, 

This is where the Vixen's Entrapment comes in. The Vixen procs all curses socketed in it, whenever your Temporal Chains. This will then immediately overwrite your Impending doom curse triggering the blast.

With the vixen equipped and whispers of doom allocated on the skill tree your curse will became 3 curses. You will put here 3 curse. 1 Curse will be the "filler" curse. 2 will be that we will utilize.

You only need 1 thing to do that is:

PUT YOUR FILLER CURSE IN THE FIRST SOCKET OF THE GLOVES!!!!! This is very important!

The filler Curse is Conductivity.

The useable curses will be the Enfeeble and Despair in the other sockets.

Double hit

Normal Spell Cascade linked as mentioned above in both your Helmet as well as your gloves, will hit one additional time if you place your cursor properly.

You can just stand still in your hideout and cast your spell and see the circles overlapping and try to learn this so you can position yourself in a fight! On maps this is not matters only on boss fights!

Cooldown and You

Impending Doom (1 second) and Vixen's Entrapment (0.25 second) has a cooldown. Both will get affected by Cooldown reduction (CDR) making your damage much higher.

With my version you will getting 30% CDR! You dont have to worry about this one too much.



If you want deep dive more and play around with it there is a very nice google sheet made by Silenth

Document


Area of Effect

You need to reach 4.8 meter (PoB) to get much easier overlap. You need a small node at the start of Witch start! Rest will come from your support gems and Golem!

Wither source

Wither soruce can be pretty hard to find. We will use a timeless jewel (Glorius Vanity) for this and transforming one of the notaables to Ritual of Shadows. This will provide us 25% chance to inflict wither that will be enough to reach 15 wither stacks.

Damage and Tonkiness realeted problems. "Why i deal no damage" or "Why i'm dying easily"


Tonkiness porblems:

1. 99% of the time your resistance flasks doesn't have 100% so you will get wreck by the enemies. Check the flask in PoB it need to say: "Flask uptime 100%"

2. You have low energy shield. I have right now around 11k energy shield if yours is much lower than this you should fix that first.


Damage problems:


1. You using in the wrong order the curses in you gloves

2. You missing the Eldritch implicits. They give you soo much damage.

3. You don't have the correct timeless jewel node.

4. Your gems is not leveled enough.

5. Your jewels is not too good or it has bad stats

6. Dont have enough area you need 4.8 meters (PoB) to get 2 overlap


CRAFTING


Most of the crafts is easy to make just sadly RNG heavy. Keep this in mind. You can increase your chances to get something you want with Fractured mods on the strating item.

Your friend will be: PoEdb

Before you trying expensive methods that you will see in this section ALWAYS double or triple check on this site to protect yourself from bricking your items: Craft of Exile

You can check here what mods an item can roll and what rolls you got.


ALWAYS CHECK THE MARKET BEFORE YOU CRAFTING MAYBE THERE IS ON FOR SALE WITH GOOD MODS.


Weapon


Sadly this could be expensive if your luck is bad. So be ready! 


  1. Get a Profane Wand with either Chaos damage overtime OR Damage overtime fracture (higher % is better)
  2. Use Essence of Misery (the highest one) You need to hit the missing overtime node!
  3. You hit it. Check: Open prefix. If you have go to next step
  4. You will use menagerie and Wild Bristle Matron. This will add to your wand Suffixes cannot be change
  5. Use Veiled Chaos orb
  6. Check: YOU DID NOT HIT ANY SPELL DAMAGE OR DAMAGE INCREASE (cold, fire, lightning)
  7. If you hit any of the mentioned you need to go back to Step 4. And use scouring orb to remove the mods. Because you cannot have two unveil mod or the same type of modifiers.
  8. Everything okey you not hit spell damage or damage increases
  9. BEFORE you unveil craft + % physical damage (only the normal one)
  10. Unveil! We looking here chaos damage increase and skill effect duration!
  11. You it done! GG


You not hit:

  1. You will use menagerie and Wild Bristle Matron. This will add to your wand Suffixes cannot be change
  2. Scour it!
  3. This will clean up your prefixes while keeping the suffixes. We need to do this because the weapon cannot have two veiled mod and you cannot use Veiled chaos on an item that has already a veiled mod
  4. Go back to step 4 above!

Body armour



1. You need Twilight Regalia armour as your base (Item level 84+). Now you have two options: - Get a fractured Int 50+

1.5 For the higher budget version: The higher the % on the body armour the better (27-30%)

2. Dense fossil till you hit very high energy shield. But ofc dont forget every little energy shield matters. So if you have currency just get a good roll.

3. Every time when you hit good prefixes you need to check out:

Is it have open suffix? If no you need to annul down with eldritch annulment one suffix.

4. You have open suffix craft 6% attributes.

5. Get the eldritch implicits: Eater of worlds (blue one) Phys damage taken as chaos ( do not use while there is a unique enemy in your presence)

Searing exarch (red one) Flasks gain a Charge every 3 seconds ( you get this with lesser one)

Boots


1. Buy a Warlock Boots with fractured Intelligence or 30% movement speed mod (Tier 1 if it possible for int) (Item level 84+)

2. Int or Move speed Essence till you hit high energy shield. 150+ is good

2.5 You craft the missing stat on it. Movement Speed or more energy shield. Depends on if you have open prefix or suffi

3. Get the eldritch implicits: Eater of worlds (blue one) Cooldown recovery rate 7%

Searing exarch (red one) chance to Avoid being Shocked (you get this with greater one)

Shield

0. You can use other bases as well or even buy one with the stats that we need. The most important mod is the Recover % of Energy Shield when you Block

1. Get Transfer-attuned Spirit Shield

2. Slam Shaper orb (in theory the shaper has higher % chance to get)

3. Use Deafening Loathing essence till you hit Recover % of Energy Shield when you Block This can take up a lot!

4. Other option reforge defense but you will need to hit block chance on the shield

Ring


Just check the market for it. You should find good ones! Add attributes catalyst on it!

Clusters


  1. Get an 8 passive minion cluster jewel
  2. Use Pristine fossil. This will force life modifiers
  3. Get Primordial Bond and Renewal ONLY (any attribute etc is okey)

Note here: If you hit 3 notable then you need to annul down the third one. If you removing any of the good mods then start again!


Bloodline

We will choose Breachlord blood line and Otherworldly Appendages!



Do not run this map mods

  1. Reduced Block chance
  2. Reduced flask charge gain
  3. Cannot Regen
  4. Avoid poison
  5. Reduced recovery rate
  6. Cooldown recovery rate (this is runable but super annoying)


Regex for it with 24% pack size

"!reco|ur$|gen|re he|on,|ask" "iz.*(2[4-9]|[3-9].|\d..)%" "m rar.*(2[4-9]|[3-9].|\d..)%"
