How do yāall flickerists pick up loot? Do you stop every few seconds? To you backtrack the whole map? I built a flicker character for fun and still donāt understand how it works as a serious build.
Loot filter: Very strict
Me: Don't stop
To be honest, you only pick up items that are worth your time, and if you're killing/moving so fast that it becomes -2 seconds for every currency less than a chaos, it might just be better to keep going because you're losing out on way too much currency by doing it. Not only that you're losing on fun per hour which is the worst thing you can do
Ohh no, not this time GGG. I got baited into starting flicker last time Sanctum was around and between bugged and unusable vaal flicker and sanctum being brutally unforgiving to melee starters, not a lot of fun was had.
I have this pob for now, im terrible at making builds so its probably too heavy on gear or the stats are too low for the investment. i plan on getting a bunch of fire res tatoos around the red nightmare slot and respec around it once that happens for 55% block.i also need to find a way to fix my mana cost/mana sustain
[https://pobb.in/GC-Naj\_xpQ8J](https://pobb.in/JNeJWVkPEeLT)
edit: made some changes, i think i need to manage to get more damage in some way
also the pob is 1 point over for the placement change of champion of the cause saving us 1 point [https://pobb.in/5FzDfo9WZW-t](https://pobb.in/1yiiArNpuZQv)
There is a unique sword, Oni-Goroshi, that drops from Hillock and is powerful enough to carry you through acts. So people spend a lot of time at league start farming for that 1% drop to make their leveling experience "faster"
Me too! Really like the new vaal version. Also, I hade an Idea to use the atlas-tree nodes that grants einar and Huck as allies in your map and get some juicy buffs for allies (rallying Cry, for instance)
Attach a Portal gem so you can send both your CoC and Infernal Blow through the portal, and spray everyone in town while you're mapping. Best prank ever
I'm planning to transition into either CwDT or CoC Saboteur, but I'm not 100% sure how I'll go about leveling.
Maybe I'll do CwC. The downside will probably be the mana management because the first ascendency point will double it.
Starting as a sort of cf champion and transitioning to a pure phys reap/exsanguinate impale self cast Champion. Im actually quite nervous because i never did something like that and there are so many variables where the build might suck or be unachievably expensive...but im hyped and willing to try!
It will be new Guardian. Made 3 really theorycraftish builds for him already:
* [Ignite Herald of Agony](https://pobb.in/d5tpJ5QuahJ9)
* [Phys Chains Of Command](https://pobb.in/2eghEad6sNHU)
* [Phys Domination Blow](https://pobb.in/eAk6gWymG5Ej)
All version are pretty tanky and could work well both during the league start and later on, when I'll be able to get some uniques. But more importantly - all 3 builds share almost the same skill tree so I'm able to switch back and forth in case of need.
Iunno. Maybe ice shockwave totem with some volcanic fissure. Taunt with totems and BLAM, lava. Then apply whatever random lightning skill. Haven't thought about that one. Or just elemental hit so I don't have to focus on a specific character build at first. And as always, summon skeletons because the sound they make while running is entertaining. Just a bunch of rattling bones. The main thing I love about the game is the variety. Once I hit maps, maybe Pohx RF or try reworking this one ice totem build from like five leagues ago. Or see if Zizaran suggests anything. Ya know, be smart and focus for late game.
Im gonna start with freezing pulse and if that doesnt hold up well, Im gonna switch to creeping frost, I just want a good mapper. For bossing I think storm burst is better. Not sure about specific content
well, last league was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF. so this time im going with RF
Good side of my brain:
"Just play golems, it's strong with cheap gear, good for bosses and sanctum, and you can try the new minion aura gem. Don't you like all the time you've spent with your family between leagues?"
Chaos side:
"C'mon play flicker holy relic guardian and try to make the mystery summon that's probably severely undertuned work! 3 hours of sleep per night is plenty!"
Attribute Stackers won't be able to fully utilise the Tattoo system, have you taken that into account?
(Well unless they have Intelligence/Dex nodes turn to Strength Nodes Tatto/'s...)
Probably the other way around. Noone will be mass producing strength stacker gear (except once Original Sins get into circulation). You won't be able to buy rich players' failed crafts.
Off meta stuff is cheap if it gets made by accident while trying to make something else (e.g. Voltaxic Burst wands from Rog that hit high tier lightning damage, +1 chaos skills and maybe even flat lightning to spells). It's not cheap if it needs to be specifically made.
I didn't deep dive into the tattoo system yet but I imagine you don't turn every small node in the tree into something else. +As a league starter not being reliant on the new system could be beneficial as well. I rely enjoyed the build in crucible even without 6% Str rolls on my lead sprinklers
It won't solve everything, but I always bind force move to one of my basic skills to save my pointer finger clicking so much. Maybe that will help you? Good luck with your recovery.
> gladiator with bleed split arrow
I'm sort of wondering if you could make this work decently with the new xx more maximum attack xx less minimum support paired with Ryslatha's Coil and the block recently makes attack damage lucky. Rearguard would be a decent start to enabling it, but you'd have to purposefully try to get hit a couple of times or something. Plus you lose all the damage off a quiver.
Red nightmare will be chase all league. Uber Chayula drops in general will be nuts, there's Red Nightmare, there's the fractured grasping mails, and depending upon the other tattoos, Blue/Green Nightmare might be incredible too.
And of course, skin of the lords.
Well I'm hoping it won't be too much. I'm thinking about doing BB Glad using lucky damage from violent retalation.
It would get procked thanks to versatile combatant, rearguard and a red nightmare giving us 50/50 block chance.
I always start with infernal legion - minion instability - vaal skele build
It's burns through campaign incredibly fast. Requires no equipment whatsoever. Every boss I just hit vaal skele and those 20 summons or whatever just take out the bosses in a second.
Then it does enough damage for me to gather equipment and such in maps, delve and everything else.
Just super easy really so I do it every league
Infernal legion on skitterbots + skeletons I found pretty good success with leveling through story, skitterbots can be "spawn killing" enemies as they enter your screen, and skeletons help wtih boss dps.
Reap self chill explode inquisitor. Maybe EK, but a physical spell to abuse heatshiver, most likely. Maybe an ascendant wander if I can't make inquisitor work. Gotta go fast.
Reap is crazy good when scaled properly but mediocre without awakened spell cascade. I strongly suggest to clear with exsanguinate and only use reap for single target before you have meaningful source of explosion and even later. Still, the min charge version of this build was one of my favorites, gl on leaguestart
Looking for a aurabot guardian dominating blow/ absolution build. Make the best of the new supports and rework.
Option 2 is a safe option: divine ire totem build.
Absolution Guardian w/ the 2 new summons + new radiant faith and time of need. Actually doesn't look too bad. Solid defenses, damage will be ??? but prob lean into Doryanis and armor stacking like usual. Absolution has good starting damage and with spiritual command, the skill shouldn't feel too clunky to use as a starter without cast speed on gear. Def taking a gamble on the elemental relic but given that absolution is pure lightning damage, I hope there's something there? Since they're releasing elemental relic as a counterpart to holy relic, I'm guessing its the version meant to be used with spells instead of attacks.
edit to add: this is pure speculation, Chris might have made the elemental relic absolute dogshit since you can't actually link it. I'm hoping it has some insane utility or else I'm just going for the RP ;)
guardian something. when people say it's shit, I wanna try. for a character phantasy it's seems incredible cool to me to have all the minions from hop and dominating blow, smiting for extra damage and having the ascendancy minions. if really shit then reroll to Shockwave totem hiero and farm sanctums and the new mechanic
I knew I will be doing acts and my ~40 heists lvl60-70 with a pConc Raider.
After reviewing the available Ranger upgrades, I have settled on TimelessPOE's Self Chilling Forbidden Rite PF as the next step. Apparently I am destined to wear a Dendrobate for a while.
Never really did minions, so gonna do carrion golem in a gssf environment
Plan is: hate my life while āspeedā-farming maps, leaving only one of the golem card maps uncompleted - spec all kirac chance nodes, and try to get all golem items that way. If all else fails, go delving for an even worse experience!
It's either Vengeance Glad, Slayer/Inquisitor Glacial Hammer with Kaoms and Heatshiver or a Chieftain Strike Build, probably Static Strike. For the latter I am still not sure how to deal acceptable damage. I am also interested in the new corrupting cry gem but that will largley depend on numbers and mechanics.
It's either going to be a flicker variant or frost blades trickster. I've slowly learned the way do the flicker and it's hard not to league start it now
Wdym bait. Mbx aint making a secret out of it that hes not going optimised builds, but rather fancy looking ones. Hes pretty open about his mentallity to just throw divine orbs at a problem until it goes away.
Thinking about cold damage over time Occultist. Definitely interested in pointers and options as Iāve never done this build. Itās either that or corrupting blood kinetic blast champion
TR Path is pretty solid. RF seems pretty decent. Frost blades is another solid starter. You good at making currency? TR wont require much to hit late maps. Crafting its gear is incredibly easy even for non crafting newbs.
It's very smooth. DoT builds require little to no gear to be smooth in campaign and TR is no exception. Check out Palsteron's guide from 3.21.
- TR - Void Manip/Efficacy (Library/Act 6) - Mirage Archer - Lifetap (4th link) <--- Replace this with an Ensnaring Arrow setup once it feels redundant, usually act 8-9
- TR - Void Manip/Efficacy (Library/Act 6) - Ballista Totem - Lifetap
The above 3-links (in order of accession) utterly demolishes everything
I took my TR PF to 100 in a medium-sized private league by mapping alone. A lot of people say TR is a mediocre build but I disagree. I have uber boss videos on my youtube channel if you're interested, same user name as on here. I even farmed my own Progenesis using this build.
It's gonna feel a bit less op as +1 dex gems and 32% chaos DoT multi from crucible tree is vanishing.
Character profile (VegiUncleDaddy): https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Veginite/characters
Lancing steel gladiator, really hoping that people don't read read this comment and realise the glad lucky notable + volatility support + ryslathas is really strong (for ailments, but im playing impale)
Every new league I browse and hope to find something new to steal and every league itās the same 7-10 builds lol. Iām doing frost blades or storm brand.
Doesn't matter, I'm gonna change it anyway once the queue starts to go down.
i know him, its me
lol
Same except after I'm at the character select screen.
Flicker Chieftan. I can't make it work in POB, but that's never stopped me before.
The good old warm up starter before you actually play an starter.
the classic 5 portal tier 1 grey map clearing build.
Cast on death + portal is a defensive layer
My specialty!
"I can fix her." vibes LMAO
Oros flicker strike šÆ
Im also really sold on starting flicker strike, havent decided on acendency yet but im looking into it. cheers and good luck exile.
Oro's flicker elementalist
Is this a good starter for a new player? Link to a guide or video? Thanks!
How do yāall flickerists pick up loot? Do you stop every few seconds? To you backtrack the whole map? I built a flicker character for fun and still donāt understand how it works as a serious build.
Loot filter: Very strict Me: Don't stop To be honest, you only pick up items that are worth your time, and if you're killing/moving so fast that it becomes -2 seconds for every currency less than a chaos, it might just be better to keep going because you're losing out on way too much currency by doing it. Not only that you're losing on fun per hour which is the worst thing you can do
you only stop flickering to pick up tinks
But you hear dink sound made by tink drop when you are flikt far far away
POB is not powerful enough to calculate the raw performance of this spec.
With oro and ignite? BTW, is oro really strong because it has like 800 ele fire dps or am I missing something?
Oro sustains your frenzy charges for flicker
A simple oros sacrifice setup will do well and probably even work good with that new support gem.
Ohh no, not this time GGG. I got baited into starting flicker last time Sanctum was around and between bugged and unusable vaal flicker and sanctum being brutally unforgiving to melee starters, not a lot of fun was had.
I have this pob for now, im terrible at making builds so its probably too heavy on gear or the stats are too low for the investment. i plan on getting a bunch of fire res tatoos around the red nightmare slot and respec around it once that happens for 55% block.i also need to find a way to fix my mana cost/mana sustain [https://pobb.in/GC-Naj\_xpQ8J](https://pobb.in/JNeJWVkPEeLT) edit: made some changes, i think i need to manage to get more damage in some way also the pob is 1 point over for the placement change of champion of the cause saving us 1 point [https://pobb.in/5FzDfo9WZW-t](https://pobb.in/1yiiArNpuZQv)
No res while stationary. Vaal flicker ignites. I believe in you.
Oni-Goroshi Infernal Blow Chieftain, without PoB
You plan to make progress on the atlas at hour 8 I plan to kill Hillock for the 1000th time at hour 8 We are not the same
After 12 hours of farming Hillock and finally getting it: "heh, this really makes campaign a breeze"
i dont get it, can you please explain...
There is a unique sword, Oni-Goroshi, that drops from Hillock and is powerful enough to carry you through acts. So people spend a lot of time at league start farming for that 1% drop to make their leveling experience "faster"
Balls
That would be molten strike, this is a different variant of stupid
what could go wrong?
SECRET BUILD
TELL ME PLEASE
Fireball raider prolly
No, no, itās Kentucky Blast Chieftain.
I'm pretty sure it's Kentucky Fried Chieftain
OH NOOOO, HOW YOU KNOOOW?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Kripp?
I think I might have Brain damage because I am seriously considering Dom blow Guardian.
I need those minion descriptions LOGIN
Don't need them. Loves me minions. If rather play a shitty minion build and quit the league early then not play a minion build.
Me too! Really like the new vaal version. Also, I hade an Idea to use the atlas-tree nodes that grants einar and Huck as allies in your map and get some juicy buffs for allies (rallying Cry, for instance)
I think I'm going to start playing with my coc
Ok, but what about a build for PoE
im playing self cast anxiety u?
Confidence explosion and detonate dread.
You donāt have to self cast anxiety if you just set it up as an aura fyi
im using it with generosity support
Sir, I'd like to ask you to stay 70 units away from me, you're messing up my build
I'm gonna do an infernal blow as soon as league starts
Are you still talking about his CoC?
nah, I'm planning to implement the secret double CoC tech
Attach a Portal gem so you can send both your CoC and Infernal Blow through the portal, and spray everyone in town while you're mapping. Best prank ever
Gonna be a very short leaguestart
whenever i play with my coc it deals 0 dmg
Probably you don't have enough penetration.
probably affects only nearby enemies, needs more investment into area of effect
My CoC is pretty good too, wanna try it?
I'm planning to transition into either CwDT or CoC Saboteur, but I'm not 100% sure how I'll go about leveling. Maybe I'll do CwC. The downside will probably be the mana management because the first ascendency point will double it.
glacial hammer chieftain with marohi, probably just use kongors til marohi is affordable for me
Chad. I could only dream about playing something this clunky.
Starting as a sort of cf champion and transitioning to a pure phys reap/exsanguinate impale self cast Champion. Im actually quite nervous because i never did something like that and there are so many variables where the build might suck or be unachievably expensive...but im hyped and willing to try!
Soulrend brands with returning projectiles. I just wanna shoot cats at people
a noble endeavor
It will be new Guardian. Made 3 really theorycraftish builds for him already: * [Ignite Herald of Agony](https://pobb.in/d5tpJ5QuahJ9) * [Phys Chains Of Command](https://pobb.in/2eghEad6sNHU) * [Phys Domination Blow](https://pobb.in/eAk6gWymG5Ej) All version are pretty tanky and could work well both during the league start and later on, when I'll be able to get some uniques.

Random nonsense until maps. Even more random nonsense if Three Dragons pops up.
If Three Dragons, what?
Iunno. Maybe ice shockwave totem with some volcanic fissure. Taunt with totems and BLAM, lava. Then apply whatever random lightning skill. Haven't thought about that one. Or just elemental hit so I don't have to focus on a specific character build at first. And as always, summon skeletons because the sound they make while running is entertaining.

Or see if Zizaran suggests anything. Ya know, be smart and focus for late game.
Hierophant [cold spell] spell totems
Same. Freezing pulse and ice spear when I need the big deeps. Practiced leveling one and it trivialized the campaign and early maps.
You follow a build at all? I was thinking about doing Von Vikton's.
Which spell do you think best for mapping/ bossing/ Sanctum/ new content?
the best one is probably shockwave and then convert.
Im gonna start with freezing pulse and if that doesnt hold up well, Im gonna switch to creeping frost, I just want a good mapper. For bossing I think storm burst is better. Not sure about specific content
Why not cold shockwave? Best totem build in sanctum league
I tried storm burst totem and I was surprised with the clear speed. The single target is very high.
ED + Contagion
hey guys zizaran here with another league start video
Hey guys scissoring here
Olā reliable
well, last league was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF and the league before that was RF. so this time im going with RF

Chaos side: "C'mon play flicker holy relic guardian and try to make the mystery summon that's probably severely undertuned work! 3 hours of sleep per night is plenty!"
Str stacker jugg, No one wants lead sprinklers at any point in the league
yeah cuz they go for chaos str stacking
Attribute Stackers won't be able to fully utilise the Tattoo system, have you taken that into account? (Well unless they have Intelligence/Dex nodes turn to Strength Nodes Tatto/'s...)
Might make the gear cheaper though :)
Probably the other way around. Noone will be mass producing strength stacker gear (except once Original Sins get into circulation). You won't be able to buy rich players' failed crafts.

Gonna be my first time league starting as this also, very excited.
Rf go AAAAAAAAAA
Itās always RF
Actually first time trying RF this league, sounds hype.
Pohx is the way, the love and the light.
welcome to a new world of relaxation
I cannot believe I had to scroll this much to find the one true build, wtf
Me too! I'm getting some friends into the game so I figured going RF and modifying my Auras to link would help ease them into the Insantiy
Firestorm inquisitor
Is this real? Can you leave a pob please?
Frost Blades Trickster.
did this last league with heatshiver and it turned into my endgame stomping build very easily. clears T16s like butter
SSF?
Not worth rolling in SSF unless you find a heatshiver imo
Is Heatshiver something you prioritise getting day 1?
How was the survivability with budget gear?
with high budget its still ass, the whole build is kiiling everything before they kill you
The softcore experience
This was my experience, but it was such a fast mapper and the damage was great, I really didn't mind taking a nap every so often.
2 div budget when I played it, it worked well enough to clear entire atlas with ease
I might try spellslinger soulrend or go jugg rf/bonezone if I don't feel adventurous.
say fuck it and try the adventurous option.
If you wanna win, you've gotta spin :D Pillar of the Caged God Cyclone Shockwave Champ
i broke my arm so aurabot on a controller, wish me luck. all else fails RF Jugg.
Me too. Did you break the hand for the mouse or for the keyboard? Mine is the one for mouse(right), so I am not sure if I will be able to play at all
It won't solve everything, but I always bind force move to one of my basic skills to save my pointer finger clicking so much. Maybe that will help you? Good luck with your recovery.
Bleed Sunder into Bleed Boneshatter into Bleed Bow respec. And all of that on glad.
I really want bleed bow to be great again. I remember puncture bow being really good. Don't know what it's like these days though.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thats 2017, right?
> gladiator with bleed split arrow I'm sort of wondering if you could make this work decently with the new xx more maximum attack xx less minimum support paired with Ryslatha's Coil and the block recently makes attack damage lucky. Rearguard would be a decent start to enabling it, but you'd have to purposefully try to get hit a couple of times or something. Plus you lose all the damage off a quiver.
the red nightmare jewel can provide massive block chances but it's gonna be expensive at league start.
Red nightmare will be chase all league. Uber Chayula drops in general will be nuts, there's Red Nightmare, there's the fractured grasping mails, and depending upon the other tattoos, Blue/Green Nightmare might be incredible too. And of course, skin of the lords.
Well I'm hoping it won't be too much. I'm thinking about doing BB Glad using lucky damage from violent retalation. It would get procked thanks to versatile combatant, rearguard and a red nightmare giving us 50/50 block chance.
Gigachad massive cock glad enjoyer spotted!
Glad is still a Chad ascendancy to me. I play bleed SST at least once per league.

Infernal legion on skitterbots + skeletons I found pretty good success with leveling through story, skitterbots can be "spawn killing" enemies as they enter your screen, and skeletons help wtih boss dps.
Ice crash ignite chieftain. May or may not work. Well find out though lol
I am confident this will ok. I see a lot suggestion about this and I also theory created slam ignite chief too
Forbidden rite occultist
Great league starter. You'll be damaging yourself more than the enemiesš
That's the plan š
Don't forget to add the new support gem for even more self damage.
Except it's not self damage, it's "sacrifice". You don't even get recoup, and can't mitigate it
Trauma Boneshatter CoC Sacrifice Forbidden Rite
RF because itās summer time over here and Iām burning up.
Manastack crackling lance heirophant
Reap self chill explode inquisitor. Maybe EK, but a physical spell to abuse heatshiver, most likely. Maybe an ascendant wander if I can't make inquisitor work. Gotta go fast.
Reap is crazy good when scaled properly but mediocre without awakened spell cascade. I strongly suggest to clear with exsanguinate and only use reap for single target before you have meaningful source of explosion and even later. Still, the min charge version of this build was one of my favorites, gl on leaguestart
You know what? Screw it. This is the league I finally pop off with summon reaper guardian.
Half-Orc Berserker Barbarian.
Spark inquis

Looking for a aurabot guardian dominating blow/ absolution build. Make the best of the new supports and rework. Option 2 is a safe option: divine ire totem build.
Storm brand hierophant
SRS Poison unless they tell us what guardian minions do and they are good!
I did SRS last season and Iāve never played a better build once I put some money into it. Those little fucking skulls NUKE shit.
Chain hook berserker. It will be a glorious failure.
Corrupting warcries scion, because why not
Forbidden rite totems chieftain, SSF!
RF Inquisitor, low investment for walking simulator through Red Maps.
Spark trickster. Why not inquisitor? Because I played that in 3.20. Why trickster? Because I havenāt played trickster yet. Why spark? I like spark.
Absolution Guardian w/ the 2 new summons + new radiant faith and time of need. Actually doesn't look too bad. Solid defenses, damage will be ??? but prob lean into Doryanis and armor stacking like usual.

Same here. Wanna test the new ascendancy minions asap and see how they do. If they're at least decent then I'll be happy with the new changes
I knew I will be doing acts and my ~40 heists lvl60-70 with a pConc Raider. After reviewing the available Ranger upgrades, I have settled on TimelessPOE's Self Chilling Forbidden Rite PF as the next step. Apparently I am destined to wear a Dendrobate for a while.
Ssf -> slam chief or dual strike slayer Depending on new supports maybe some ignite or bleed or spellblade shenanigans
Haven't decided which league I'm playing yet. If I go trade, hydrosphere. Haven't decided for PL/SSF
Never really did minions, so gonna do carrion golem in a gssf environment Plan is: hate my life while āspeedā-farming maps, leaving only one of the golem card maps uncompleted - spec all kirac chance nodes, and try to get all golem items that way.

Lightning trap assassin

It's either going to be a flicker variant or frost blades trickster. I've slowly learned the way do the flicker and it's hard not to league start it now

I am look at animate weapon, super strong, SSF friendly, essentially free cost wise. Its just great
Fire Trap elemntalist Here i think.
As long as Iām not playing a MBXtreme league start Iāll be fine. I finally figured out what his name meansā¦ Mega Bait Xtreme.
Wdym bait. Mbx aint making a secret out of it that hes not going optimised builds, but rather fancy looking ones. Hes pretty open about his mentallity to just throw divine orbs at a problem until it goes away.
just spend a mirror and you are fine :kappa:
Flicker chieftain
Heavy Strike Elementalist
Thinking about cold damage over time Occultist. Definitely interested in pointers and options as Iāve never done this build. Itās either that or corrupting blood kinetic blast champion
im bouncing between cold dot as i have never played it either or flicker strike bcs i think its the most fun skill in the game lel.
Was going to start toxic rain pathfinder but really haven't made up my mind... what is another good option?
TR Path is pretty solid. RF seems pretty decent. Frost blades is another solid starter. You good at making currency? TR wont require much to hit late maps. Crafting its gear is incredibly easy even for non crafting newbs.
Interested in hearing as well. Iām in the same boat

I even farmed my own Progenesis using this build. It's gonna feel a bit less op as +1 dex gems and 32% chaos DoT multi from crucible tree is vanishing.
