Path of Building Code

Build Overview

Changes in 3.28:

Perfect Crime now has 30% less damage instead of 35%, so more damage.
Like Clockwork now has 50% cdr instead of 40%, so higher cast speed is possible.

Wouldn't recommend for new players

Build require Atziri's Rule which drop only from Uber Atziri, which isn't that easy of a boss. Plus it will require starting with entirely different build (Rolling Flames Mines still should be fine) and then swap to this build once you obtain the Staff.

I started with this build in 3.27, Rolling Magma was decent enough to farm Uber Atziri, but i was really unlucky with how many times i had to kill her to get Atziri's Rule, over 50 runs basically. I got TWO Atziri's Reflection before i got the staff, but atleast i made decent currency.

Showcase in 3.27 - Hive clear, Uber Elder, Maven. This is mapper build, but it can do normal Bosses fairly easy.

LEVELING PoB - Since Atziri's Rule require level 68, you will need different build for leveling. To get Rolling Magma, kill Hillock on Witch.

Low Budget PoB

High Budget PoB

Key points about this build:

Huge AoE clearing with Atziri's Rule
Reflect/Stun immunity from Atziri's Rule
Clears Hive effortlessly
Capped block at 75%
Very fun, very offmeta build
No 5/6 link needed. You only need to 6 Socket the Staff
Obviously it's main usage is Mapping, while it capable doing normal Bosses, and T17 maps
Cheap to start

Strengths and Weaknesses

HUGE AoE
Clears Hive mostly by holding 1 button
Reflect/Stun Immunity
High/Capped block
Very fun
Offmeta
Cheap to start
Strong at low budget

Uber bosses/T17 bosses take a while to kill
While build has block, it's not really tanky in very juiced maps where you might not oneshot Rares
Isn't KB Wander
Not easy to start if people not farm Uber Atziri, so that you can buy the staff, otherwise it's a lot of grind if you're unlucky
While Uber Atziri grind might be long, and maybe boring, you will make decent profit most likely

Build Variants

Low Budget

High Budget

Low budget based around 1 Divine version of this build i made in 3.25, for most part build wasn't changed since then.

Equipment

Low Budget

High Budget

As of now, supply of Atziri's Rule is small, because most likely GGG made it way more rare than it was.

For me it took around 40 Uber Atziri runs to get, while i made decent amount of currency along the way, enough to go straight for high budget version.

Next is getting The Taming rings. To get them you vendor 3 Berek's Rings: Berek's Grip, Berek's Pass and Berek's Respite, which normally is cheaper than buying The Taming as is.
Then you can get Carcass Jack early if it's cheap, no need for 5/6 links or sockets, it provide decent damage and a lot of AoE.
Rest of gear are rares to cap Resists, get more Life, etc.
Amulet only need Critical Strike Multiplier, besides that Life, Resists, Spell Damage. Important to not have any Cast Speed on it.

IMPORTANT!

DO NOT use Spell Echo Support, it will break trigger rate. Skills from Atziri's Rule are trigger skills with cooldown, if you get too much cast speed, some of cast will do nothing because those skills still on cooldown while you casting, resulting in less dps.

Same way you dont overcap attack speed for Cast On Critical Strike Support.

Staff doesn't need links, but only 6 sockets. All 6 supports are most optimal for damage and utility.

Important to have exactly level 1 Arcane Surge Support for Frostblink, so every use of Frostblink will give you Arcane Surge which will also give damage to Atziri's Rule spells.
