Path of Building Code

Build Overview

If you don't like Warden with Tinctures, can do it on Slayer.

Current PoB is end of second day, can't play as much as i used to, so i'm kinda falling behind. So far build feels fine, a bit button intense i'd say.

Some notes (Updating daily for now):

  • Claws seems to be best option, fine if you find good Dagger or Sword.
  • In PoB, there's normal Static Strike plus 96% More Damage to simulate Static Strike of Gathering Lightning.
  • I also use normal Static Strike too, very good for utility: Fortify Support, Rage Support and Excommunicate Support that grant fortify, rage and kind of chaos damage immunity
  • Static Strike of Gathering Lightning doesn't get stacks from all repeats with Multistrike Support, only from first repeat, so it actually lower frequency at which you get stacks of buff
  • Leper's Alms is really good early to counter and apply ailments, Shared Suffering makes it so any time you have any ailment on you, your next hit will apply that ailment to enemy and remove it from you, so as long as you keep Static Strike up, you basically have full ailment immunity.
  • Heatshiver is only 1c, so why not using it.
  • At higher budget i'd add The Taming or well rolled rare rings.
  • Claw was self crafted, i was looking for cheap fractured claws with T3+ Elemental Damage, then using Essence of Anger/Hatred (Wrath is more expensive), until i hit decent mods like triple Elemental Damage, Crit Chance or Attack Speed

Leveling:

  • I'm really bad at leveling, but i guess only way to level will be melee, so start with Frost Blades
  • Take Precision and Whirling Blades for movement, or Dash, or whatever else you prefer, can buy Clarity from vendor, but not level it much to help with manacost
  • Pickup bows if you can, and take Puncture from "Breaking some eggs" quest reward, to make fight with Brutus much easier, use Puncture on him with bow and just walk while hes bleeding
  • Obviously Quicksilver Flask
  • Whatever good supports like Added Cold Damage Support, Elemental Damage with Attacks Support, Close Combat Support, etc
  • After killing Act 1 boss, you can buy Static Strike from vendor in act 1, then to run Normal Lab (in act 3) in order to get option to transform that Static Strike to it's new alternative version specifically with option: Transform a non-Transfigured Skill Gem to a Transfigured version
  • You can try using normal Static Strike after buying it in act 1, it's good for leveling, can use it together with Frost Blades for a while
  • Herald of Ice, then use Static Strike with Added Cold Damage Support
  • Can grab Blood Rage for some attack speed
  • Then just continue taking obvious supports for Static Strike
  • Later can add Steelskin + Automation or Cast when Damage Taken Support
  • And probably Assassin's Mark + Mark On Hit Support

Choosing Warden purely because i need Ranger character to start 1 Divine Builds series on it, while its good option, you can do it on Slayer, maybe Jugg
