Build Variants
Final Min-Maxed Version of Build, Now you can easily stun all uber bosses and face tank almost all damage they dish out.
But the Build is also very expensive now, with addition of two expensive uniques and Min-Maxing of the rest of gear too!
Equipment
























Almost all the gear has been either been changed or upgraded to a much better version.
Starting with the weapon
Tawhoa's Felling has now been replaced with a much better shaper influenced rare
Piledriver. This does not only improve the damage but also the clear by ALOT now.
But no one will have weapon like this listed for trade, so your only option is to craft it yourself or come Mirror it from me (Which would be stupid). So just follow the steps that i m about to mention.
(1) For this you will need atleast two Level 84 shaper influenced
Piledriver.
(2) Use Deafening Essence of Zeal till you roll Explode on 1 base and reduced stun threshold + increased stun duration on other (this is a shaper mod dont get it confused with other mods).
(3) Make sure that both bases have only the two suffixes which you need (explode + 30% attack speed and stun duration/reduced stun threshold + 30% attack speed) use orb of annulment to assure this. Also make sure to not have more then 2 prefixes on either bases as it can fill up the prefixes bricking your craft.
(4) Recombinate both bases together and Pray to RNGESUS that you get all 3 mods that you need together (Explode + Stun Threshold/Duration + Attack Speed).
(5) If it fails return to Step (2) otherwise proceed to Step (6).
(6) Now that you have the perfect suffixes you need, we are gonna work on prefixes, Craft Suffixes cannot changed and use reforge physical from harvest bench, you can make this process a bit cheaper by using Wild Bristle Matron alpha for crafting the Meta modifier.
(7) Look if you got atleast tier 3 Flat physical, if its lower then that repeat step (6), if you have an additional unwanted modifier Craft Suffixes cannot changed and try your luck with Orb of annulment if it fails and you hit the modifier you need return to Step (6) otherwise proceed to Step (8).
(8) Now if you have the Flat physical of atleast tier 3 you are just one step away from completing your weapon. Craft Suffixes cannot be changed close your eyes and SLAM a Veiled Exalted Orb. If it fails and removes the flat physical return to Step (6) otherwise proceed to Step (9).
(9) Unveil the modifier by right clicking item and select Hybrid Increased Physical Damage + Bleeding/Poison/ Impale/ Blind (this has a 95% chance to appear, but to make it 100% you can even craft elemental penetration from crafting bench before unveiling).
(10) Craft Increased Quality of Socketed Gems using Crafting Bench.
Warning: During the Reforge Process theres a 1/12 chance you can fill up all Prefixes, in that case your only choice is to YOLO annul or use a Hinekora Lock (DONT DO THIS).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next is the Body Armor which has very high armor and is fractured with onslaught modifier from Essence of Insanity, this works with
Trauma Support. Crafting this is quite simple use
Royal Plate for crafting base and Slam Essence of Insanity on it, make sure the item only has only 4 affixes, then you will have a 1/4 chance to fracture the onslaught modifier to start your crafting. Once you have it fractured, spam dense fossil in single resonators and more likely from harvest bench till you have atleast 4.8k armor. With this your prefixes will be complete. For Suffixes Craft Prefixes cannot be changed use Reforge Physical from Harvest Bench till you get atleast 7% Physical damage reduction. You can always use Eldritch Annulment orbs to clean up suffixes if you dont hit the desired mod, just make sure that in implicit Eater is the dominant one. Lastly just craft Hybrid chaos resistance and Complete Implicits using Eldritch currency.
After that is our Helmet, you will need a fractured base with Warcry Buff Effect, this is a prefix so all you need to do is roll 3 resistances in suffixes, this can easily be done using Essence of Envy and aiming for 2 other resistances. For prefixes you can finish the craft using eldritch currency, just make sure Exarch is dominant. Then finish the implicits using Eldritch currency. Prefered base for crafting is
Conqueror's Helmet or
Giantslayer Helmet.
Boots and Gloves are pretty generic craft, so you can just buy them if you dont like crafting, just complete the implicits using eldritch currency.
Now for ring use a
Fugitive Ring and fracture tier 1 life recoup on it. Then craft Suffixes cannot be changed and Reforge chaos from Harvest bench till you get atleast 25% Chaos Resistance then make sure that the third suffix is also empty and you also have a empty prefix. Craft Suffix cannot be changed again and use a Veiled chaos orb or Veiled Exalted orb (Much expensive) and hope it unveils a suffix, if it unveils a prefix and fills up your suffix too use Orb of Annulment and try to annul both unwanted modifiers, if this fails restart the craft as you have no other choice. If it hits unveil and look for hybrid Dex and Int, these stats are something you will be lacking the most so if you cannot find any other source for them you must roll them here. Once you have these suffixes, Craft Suffixes cannot be changed again (you can also use wild bristle matron alpha for this) , then reforge life using harvest bench till you hit atleast tier 2 life, then simply craft minus mana cost. And mirror this ring using
Kalandra's Touch.
The amulet i m using here is
Stranglegasp and theres a 25% chance that it will turn into a rare when you corrupt it. But you dont need that, so just anoint the amulet with
Endurance,
Berserking,
Natural Authority and
Sione's Ambition (this is a special modifier check poe wiki on how to anoint this). And if you feel like it try corrupting it, maybe you get lucky like i did. If you are in SSF or cant afford this amulet just use a good rare amulet or a
Defiance of Destiny for more defense. Anoint it with
Endurance.
Lastly is the belt
Screams of the Desiccated for Acceleration Shrine, this is the most expensive item in this build. Costing Around 150 - 200 DIVINES. As it provides a huge boost to build, but dont worry the build can still work without this, just wont be as crazy good as it is now. So if you cant use this you can equip
Bear's Girdle,
Mageblood
Headhunter or a rare well rolled
Cord Belt and anoint it with
Berserking if you dont already have the
Stranglegasp, otherwise anoint
Potency of Will or
Exceptional Performance.
Passive Tree
In this update the skill tree has been Revamped and new Jewels have been added to the build too.
Now we are using 2 Large Cluster Jewels one grants
Overlord,
Fuel the Fight and
Heavy Hitter which we are skipping and other grants
Force Multiplier,
Iron Breaker and
Master the Fundamentals which we are going to skip, make sure you have
Master the Fundamentals and not
Battle-Hardened as skippable nod otherwise you cant pick
Force Multiplier without taking all 3 nodes.
Now we are using 3 Megalomaniac jewels out of which two of them grants
Born of Chaos and
Heavy Hitter meanwhile the third one grants
Enduring Composure and
Warning Call. Out of these all
Born of Chaos and
Enduring Composure are most important, so if you cant find them on Megalomaniacs just roll them separately on small cluster jewels instead.
Heavy Hitter is only picked for its Double Stun duration modifier.
We are still getting
Unbreakable from Flesh and Flame Jewels.
Watcher's Eye now grants Intimidate and Increased physical damage while affected by
Pride.
The
Glorious Vanity (Xibaqua Divine Flesh) that was used to turn
Eternal Youth, now also grants Double damage on
Expertise and
Ancestral Knowledge. You will need 1533 as the exact number to get maximum benefit, there are also other options which you can use 2612, 6294, 7718, 2383 and 5914.
Theres also a few Rune Grafts that we are using: Wrap, River and Treachery.
Skills





























Now
Heavy Strike is imbued with
Endurance Charge on Melee Stun Support so we are able to swap it out with
Greater Ancestral Call Support which improves our clear by ALOT. But if you dont have
Endurance Charge on Melee Stun Support imbued you must not make this switch. Other good imbue options are
Rage Support,
Damage on Full Life Support and
Behead Support.
You can see
Precision here but its only at level 1 and being used to benefit from the Watcher's Eye. If you dont have that modifier you dont need this at all.
