Build Overview

====================================================================================

WELCOME

This is currently a comprehensive guide for day-1 league start up through T16 mapping (level 95). The "Final Form" type variants will be pending how the new Legion Mechanics actually allow us to manipulate certain outcomes (as well as new crafting outcomes from the wet delve).

I respond to all relevant comments on YT and am active in our Discord. We also have some other GOATed Gurus in the Discord who will help you out in the POE1 channels.

Please post questions in the Strength Stacking POE1 channel in Discord. TYTY GL! <3

====================================================================================

Updates for 3.29

Added a "Crafting Guide" variant which will house deterministic crafts as I go along this season.

Completely overhauled the T16 Mapping Variant.

Added minimum viable Static Strike of Gathering Lightning swap variant.

Added Crafting Guide sections for Sword and Amulet.

Added min/max'd pre-chaos swap variant for SSGL.

Added second crafting tab (needed more space), includes 12-passive and hunter belt

Added Helical Ring to crafting guide

Added new variant (Chaos Swap), this is SSGL's final variant

Added hybrid Kinetic Blast of Clustering variant

====================================================================================

About this Build

Static Strike

This skill was massively buffed in 3.25 and then again in 3.28. The secret is out, because in your campaign progression it allows you to act like an autobomber while you play Juggernaut and hold a heavy 2-hander.

Basically you land a Static Strike on a monster, and for the next 4 seconds you have an AOE bug-zapper that deletes anything. During these seconds, you can Leap Slam.

====================================================================================

General Guide Overview

We are going to start Spectral Throw / Shield Crush in levels 1-10, swap to Static Strike in Act 1/2, which will carry us to Static Strike of Gathering Lightning in later maps.

The progression here is well-refined all the way to T16 maps with a clear outline of the Crown of Eyes / Iron Will swap.

I will update the guide during league with some "chase" variants, which I'm holding off on until we understand more about the league mechanics, esp Legion unique manipulation and the wet-delve crafting outcomes.

====================================================================================

Key Creators

I did not make this build, but I am refining the progression down for newcomers and being more precise than anyone about how to scale from variant to variant.

Some people and guides to mention if you are learning:

- OneManaLeft is the strength-stacking god and probably invented the build. He has some ridiculous ideas for the min/max phase of the progression: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qJxma3O90M&t=1750s
- Alohaa did a sub-5 two-stone run on a 4 link with Berserker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H8-ZmZZXoI&t=14s
- Noxx has a nice CP breakdown for the progression on Berserkerr as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzqP9skcYBg
- Travic has refined it on Slayer with a good breakdown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71CnIGeTHAM

====================================================================================

Regex

- Updated for 3.29 (gem-color neutrality search)
- Looks for 3-link or 4-link
- Highlights movement speed boots
- Highlights any mace or staff, which is required for Shockwave Support

====================================================================================

Loot Filter

This campaign filter makes a noise anytime a base you should check drops. Early we are looking for any 2-hander, mid we are looking for Mace and Staff only, and as we near campaign end we are back to looking for anything. If it makes a noise, it means it is at or near the peak of what you can wear based on the area level of the zone you are in. If you find something solid you can ignore the sounds / highlights, but this makes it so you won't have a road-block with main-hand weapon progression.

Here is my filter for mapping / delve (fairly strict, also shows dusting uniques for Kingsmarch):

Crafting Guide

Variant: 1-10

====================================================================================

The first 11 levels are clunky for Marauder.

You want to grab Spectral Throw after beach, socket with whatever (Chance to Bleed Support is fine). Duel-wield the best 1-handers you can find, and set the skill to "Always Attack Without Moving" (VERY IMPORTANT).

Somewhere before you get Static Strike (roughly Lvl 11/12), you want to swap to Shield Crush with whatever supports you have (Faster Attacks Support and Added Fire Damage Support are fine). This is because Shield Crush is very easy to damage scale (just grab the highest armour/evasion shield you find on the way). Shield Crush along with Shield Charge will get you to Level 11 smoothly (Spectral throw really drops off mid-way act 1).

Now at some point you found a reasonably decent 2-hander. Use my loot filter and it will "ting" any ideal base for your area level and you can slam it. Once you do, and once you get to the caverns, you can grab Static Strike, and now you are done with weirdness for the rest of the campaign.

Go to next variant to see the Static Strike stuff.

Philippe Brand•18d ago

Hi thanks for the good guide !

I just wanted to point out 2 things that I saw in the chaos version of ssogl :

- Cast when damage taken with despair and punishment is not going to work with balance of terror because the jewel explicity needs us to cast the curse ourselves to get the bonus.

- using overwhelming malice cluster notable to get unholy might requires us to drop precise technique since it only works "on crit". So I think using sin's rebirth is better, or if you don't mind the extra button press despair + balance of terror also works.

RustyGolem•6d ago

Signed in to give you an up-vote, sir. This CWDT setup is still somewhat useful in terms of applying Despair/Withering Step/Guard with no button-pressing burden, but it definitely doesn't satisfy the self-cast requirement of Balance of Terror, which is going to be a fairly annoying experience for people who don't realise this quickly.
Using this setup, in game you will clearly see that the only Wither Debuff that enemies ever have is exactly 42 (6% more Chaos dmg taken X 7 immediate stacks when enemies enter your presence). If BoT was triggering, you would see a lot of variance/ramping/resetting within 2 second windows, but you won't unless you are also manually casting the curses (separate gems) as well.

Mordorlor•21d ago

Also why do we not just get a few rare jewels with max fire res and drop the ruby flask?

Mordorlor•21d ago

Hey,
thank you for your build guide. It is quite easy to follow and the crafting guides are very cool!
But I am a bit confused with the Large Cluster jewels. We want to specifically craft them with Martial Mastery and Martial Prowess for a big attack speed boost, but in the trees you never actually select martial mastery, as it is the furthest away. Is this a mistake or why do we never actually take it?

FreshDagger•25d ago

once I finished the campaign and got to mapping, I switched my build path from the 32-64 (CP) to 64-90 (mapping) build. I want from t1's being a breeze to dying a lot.

Is there minimum gear I should get before respecializing?

I don't know if I have a precise answer but it's a very good question. The goal of the 64-90 is that you start to Strength-stack, getting you ready for swap to SSGL. Tricky part is that regular Static Strike really falls off for bossing as you get deeper into mapping. If you aren't in a day-1 situation you could have a second melee skill to rotate with the SS during this phase (so you whack an SS starting the 4-second chain) then slap-slap with something else that hits single target harder (HSoT if you are on a staff for instance). That could help bridge the gap. With Iron Fortress, Crown of Eyes, and a good Strength pool tho, it should be a smooth bridge.

would a headhunter be good for this ?

HH is solid in mapping esp when you get the KBOC hybrid version. HH buffs make KBOC go wild.

FreshShield•1 month ago

I might have missed it, but what is the anoint for this build?

Ignatius

Author

•22d ago

Because we run the 3.29 Talismans we cannot have an anoint. If you swap to true res-reroute (with sublime jewel, a mirror+ tech that I avoid because $$$), then your anoint would be force of darkness for chaos

Lev•1 month ago

What level do you transition from the end of campaign to mapping?

Ignatius

•22d ago

Should happen around level 64 but every player is different.

WhiskeyBravo82•1 month ago

Apologies if this is obvious but I'm new to poe, how is arrogance and precision working with damage on full like support for static strike?
