Path of Building Code

Build Overview

This is my second facetank build of the league. You can AFK on t17 maps and not die to it! Uber bosses wil melt like normal versions while you can also just facetank them! This build utilize Chieftain Life stacking and the new unique weapon: The Grey Wolf unique axe! Stacking fire resistance as well because of the Enmity's Embrace

Our damagind skill is Smite of Divine Judgement


This build guide is WIP! I will update with different versions and different budget this is just the base concept!


Defensive layers


  • 15k life!
  • 3,5k life regen!
  • Permament uptime on Enduring Cry which can be set on your left click!
  • 3k Life leech for total 6,5k recovery!
  • 5 Endurance charge
  • High maximum resistances



Skill mechanic


Smite of Divine Judgement You can double hit with the area part of the skill if you positioning yourself correctly (little away from the target). So the damage is 2 times your Area damage and add your melee damage together. In the PoB i already done this and the DPS is around 30 million with my current setup!

You can tell when you achiving the double hit if you looking above your target and you will see two yellow beam hitting the target.

Damage calculation


Because PoB does not support the weapon yet you need to add as a custom configuration. The formula is very simle. Your maximum life * 0.12 (this is the weapon roll)

In my case 15206 * 0,12 = 1824


Jewel simulation


The Red Dream foulborn version is not supported by PoB currently. Custom configuration once again and just type: 37% increased maximum life (assuming you have the correct position on the tree and tatoos as well)

Frenzy charge generation

While mapping you will use Defiance of Destiny with Disciple of the Slaughter this provide you 3 frenzy charges

In boss fights you will use the Xoph's Blood amulet (foulborn version with Physical Damage from Hits taken as Fire Damage and Elemental Overload)

You have a Mark On Hit Support setup in your links. This will apply Poacher's Mark !!!!!QUALITY UP TO 20%!!!!! so it will give you 5% chance to gain a frenzy charge

Cluster jewel

Crafting cluster jewel:

Reforge attack this could take up a lot BUT this will be the best options and also you will save a lot of currency.

Cheaper option:

Get any cluste with Gladiator's Fortitude and use it!


Rare Jewels

We looking for Life, Global accuracy rating and Fire resistance

If you need int then get a jewel below till you have enough attributes!
