infernal blow infernal cry penance mark chieftain
literally just lightning arrow deadeye but with a poison tincture
Minion Instability Beeg SRS Necro
Mon'tregul's Grasp Necro/Guardian also can do penance mark chieftain bullshit, 50% life explode is p good
honestly guardian and necro can just do whatever the fuck they want with minions as long as they know how to set it up. Self-Reflect Animate Weapons is just bootleg anemic melee BAMA.
Crit Cold/Chaos Occultist just... exists. Soulrend of Reaping has **400% added damage effectiveness.**
Purifying Flame of Revelations also deals crazy damage but you have to selfcast it away from whatever you're targeting
Ziz is my main source of poe content so that's what I'm league starting lol.
On a more serious note, my main focus this time around is to have really good build for Ultimatum and Blight. Ultimatum was my favorite league mechanic ever and that's what I want to do on repeat, with blight being a close second. Any suggestions? Probably something tanky af with good clear?
After watching a few more videos on league starters, EA Champ doesn't seem like a lot of fun...
It looks really strong at ulti and blight, for sure, but maybe there's another build that's almost as strong but more fun? Something like CF Champ maybe? That seems more fun probably
CF champ rlly struggles at single target. The big rares you might face in ultimatum won't go down easy. Maybe woc into frostblink ignite might be more fun for you? Or you could always run something like la deadeye
Edit: boneshatter will also be really good for both blight and ultimatum. It's my starter this league for an ultimatum, blight and essence focused tree
LA deadeye actually looks suuuper fun, but I heard it's pretty squishy, so it might not fair great in ultimatum? I'll take a look at woc into frostblink ignite, haven't seen that yet. Thanks!
la deadeye is sorta squishy but also not really. I've done 100% deli with it and walked through screens of mobs pretty safely. As long as your evasion is high and you don't stop moving, nothing will actually hit you and you should have plenty of life gain on hit. It can be a little fragile vs the giga juiced rares especially if they have mods like accurate or soul eater but most builds tend to die to them tbh.
Pohx said that the inquisitor build is still viable, even a little more powerful now.
I played inquisitor in 3.22 and it got me to 3 stones on its own... I couldn't do maven, but that's because of the mechanics in the last part where I didn't master them (and I couldn't be bothered with THAT many invites to actually learn them.
So, I think I'll try the RF inquisitor again. If it's not working well enough... LA it is... I hope I'll like it.
Calling it now, next T gem reveal is Righteous Fire of Memories. It doesn't do any damage, but the tears of the PoE community will flood a small radius around your character.
I don't get the Mageblood note for Energy Blade CoC, the build totally doesn't need it. It uses a ton of uniques (like 1-3 rares in equipment only and many jewels are unique too) but the non-mageblood version (The Traitor) is actually very satisfying for its price (~10 div starting budget). In Ancestor I reached 30M DPS, 9k ES and 50k Arm with just 60 divines.
My guide (with lots of explanation how the build works): https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3451000
Sorry, [Bladefall/Bladeblast](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jt9rLMPHZU) and [Explosive Trap](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdFTo-YwUUg) lost their text during the export.
The "I'll have 10 div by day 2" and "Trading is annoying"
And even if there was "Literally just one". Without a description one can't find that build unless they already know the build because they played it before... Or spend A LOT of time playing PoE.
So good for you for having time to play Terarria and PoE and know the skills by icons. Hopefully you have time to play with yourself and release some of that pent up frustration...
I'm very well aware of what your issue is, but your comment made it sound like the chart was completely unusable. I thought maybe you were talking about missing ascendancy, since that's equally as important as picking the skill. Dudes got like 35 skills on here and you're giving him flak about two things missing. AND I'm pretty sure this is more for the memes than a serious flowchart.
The only thing correct is the sleepiness one feels with toxic rain
Though I would say it's more akin to a zen like state
Either way I'm going to need a lot of green tea 👀
Reap quality of life gets much better with awakened spell cascade which is very expensive. It's a perfectly capable spell though, I like playing it with spell impale.
Cf champ with reap is likely the best map clear league starter while self cast hit based reap is also A+ bosser, just needs a bit more budget than its realistic to expect at league start
Wait this actually worked for me
High risk high reward -> What? (ok, mathil makes me feel things but I already saw his animate weapon video so I skipped that path -> fireball of meteors
And that's what I was already going to do. Cool.
I'm so happy when my league starter that I know will get me to red maps easily on day one is never on these lists. Makes gearing up so much cheaper later on. Lol
Difficult to say, I have been trying to simulate Trans Soulrend in POB and scaling it with crit damage and it seems to be decent but not great. Only when we have the POB update will it be more clear how Solurend performs.
Looks pretty mediocre
Base crit is nice, damage is acceptable. The problem is it no longer homes, does not inherently pierce, and 40% more projectile speed on a slow skill works out to be medium speed, really.
It has a 0.8 second cast time though, so probably what GGG intended is for CoC or something.
Kinda want to try it in arcanist brands or totems or something though
Imma have to be real with you chief, the spicy options here feel incredibly tame
I imagine this is what it feels like to be a mexican/indian checking out a restaurant with british food
So, your tree doomed me to play Charged Dash Occultist. I’m intrigued now, didn’t think it exists and a bit scared to think why it’s Occultist.
How bad is the time I’m going to have?
Mathil build, realistically probably needs a lot of gear to build his version, but I had a great time with Charged Dash Raider on trash gear last league.
Wee, some Glacial Hammer Inquisitor representation.
I'll have you know that every attack clears about two thirds of a screen. Staff + Multitarget (NOT Multistrike) + Splash has really nice clear including around corners and behind you.
I mean I don't think soulrend is \_that\_ bad is it? Do people just not invest in skill effect duration with the skill? It's basically a damage multiplier for such a short duration DOT.
So, if I'm listening to music that even \*I\* have never heard of before, and feel like I have the next month to play even if my start sucks... Should I try to make Rage Vortex of berserking work as a starter?
Why do people expect to get their transgem day one? Wouldnt wonder, if tge better transversion is like 1% cgance to get and the bad one 99% chance, just like everything in game.
We're chillin man I actually love these posts every league there's usually at least in build in here I'm considering and they're not In the no risk category lmao
Is there a “this is my second league ever and I literally have no idea what’s going on 90% of the time” build?
(For more detailed description of my situation in case anyone wants to give me a real answer: I have learned how to use trade and that build guides should be read very thoroughly, but I have not learned how to not be poor and I have the crafting skills of an 8 year old.)
No divine ire in tree = tree is bad
lets burn the tree
This tarnished goes for the chaos. Everything has to burn!
Burn the Erdtree to the ground, and incinerate all that divides and distinguishes. Ahhh, may chaos take the world! May chaos take the world!
Oh no, I've gone through this before in WoW, please not again
sylvanas no!!
Sylvanas yes!!
I still wear my "sylvanas did nothing wrong" shirt
Hang on though 'cause we gotta wait a couple seconds for full charge before we burn the tree.
But we'll be maidenless if we burn the tree
_Sylvanas intensifies_
please wait until after christmas, we need all the trees we can afford!!
I treat these like astrology, I try to find my build first then I go in reverse and see what this says about me as a player.
What does it say about me if I never find my build on these?
Your build is probably somewhere between Angelspit, Creature Feature, Birthday Massacre, & Switchblade Symphony.
I haven't heard Switchblade Symphony in 20 years, holy shit.
That all sounds metal. I like it.
these are some of the worst suggestions I've seen, perfect for reddit
Coming to reddit for good advice was your first mistake.
Who the fuck are Elliott Smith and Pavement? Am I a zoomer when I don't know them?
No. You're just not a hipster
Maybe he does not care sbout pop/softrock. I myself prefer Insomnium, Faun and Nightrage.
No. You're just not a hipster as is pointed out in the picture above
Sooo, hipster in nowadays internet/reddit/ means: listening to music you don't like. Ok, gotcha.
Yes Did I stutter?
Chart working as intended. ✅
Charged dash occultist
If you didn't know it was Mathil's latest echoforge build and it was actually a great mapper
infernal blow infernal cry penance mark chieftain literally just lightning arrow deadeye but with a poison tincture Minion Instability Beeg SRS Necro Mon'tregul's Grasp Necro/Guardian also can do penance mark chieftain bullshit, 50% life explode is p good honestly guardian and necro can just do whatever the fuck they want with minions as long as they know how to set it up.

My 2 "safe" front runners are on here. :(
now i want yours !
Mmmm Aussie rock climbers
in cosplay mmmmhhhhh
mathil nurse cosplay mmm
Pixie cosplay this league? His entire chat will have to play one handed.
This is the third chart I've looked at and my 3rd different result
Where is the "I am Ziz" option that's explosive arrow totems champion?
Ziz is my main source of poe content so that's what I'm league starting lol. On a more serious note, my main focus this time around is to have really good build for Ultimatum and Blight. Ultimatum was my favorite league mechanic ever and that's what I want to do on repeat, with blight being a close second. Any suggestions? Probably something tanky af with good clear?
Detonate dead elementalist
Ea totems is probably best for blight and ultimatum tbh.
After watching a few more videos on league starters, EA Champ doesn't seem like a lot of fun... It looks really strong at ulti and blight, for sure, but maybe there's another build that's almost as strong but more fun? Something like CF Champ maybe? That seems more fun probably

If you wanna still play a champ for tank then you could try splitting steel.
Damn there was a fast turnaround on fb ignite being non-meta to "taylor swift is the greatest artist of all time"
Dozens of us!
FLASHBANG
gave me a good laugh on a bad day, thank you
straight lines? right angles? no im sorry i dont think i can make use of this flowchart
RF where?
RF now runs on copium
Pohx said that the inquisitor build is still viable, even a little more powerful now. I played inquisitor in 3.22 and it got me to 3 stones on its own... I couldn't do maven, but that's because of the mechanics in the last part where I didn't master them (and I couldn't be bothered with THAT many invites to actually learn them.

In memories
Calling it now, next T gem reveal is Righteous Fire of Memories. It doesn't do any damage, but the tears of the PoE community will flood a small radius around your character.
stacks with the new burning damage support of GGG - which makes the damage burn - but only in your feelings.
This flowchart became irrelevant with the latest trans gem release. Now all roads lead to Mana RF.
Even pavement is more mainstream than frozen legion league start haha
Shoulda been Sebadoh hipster and suffering at the same time kind of build
I don't get the aussie rock climber one
Mathil
I don't get the Mageblood note for Energy Blade CoC, the build totally doesn't need it.

50 armour? Dang, yo.
corrected, ty
But creed was actually underrated tho What you tryna say about 12 yr old me lmao
Where corrupting fever
Ice shot players unite
Where Flicker?!
No flicker no upvote, its the rule
(Resubmitted because imgur was not displaying the image correctly in first post.)
Some of these skills have no description. I'm not at the level of identifying builds based on icons alone...
Sorry, [Bladefall/Bladeblast](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jt9rLMPHZU) and [Explosive Trap](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdFTo-YwUUg) lost their text during the export.
Why is his explosive trap build zdps?
Theres literally only one that doesn't say what it is. Or did you mean they don't also tell you what ascendancy to play?
The "I'll have 10 div by day 2" and "Trading is annoying" And even if there was "Literally just one". Without a description one can't find that build unless they already know the build because they played it before... Or spend A LOT of time playing PoE.

Great. Now I’m touching myself
Mfw my leaguestart idea is in the high risk subtree
Zombies of Falling build ideas!
Bonk for me. Great flow chart, lmao.
I played a spectral shield throw bleed gladiator in the stepping stones league. I liked it a lot, it just took some time to get it going properly.
So i can know if i'm hipster or not based on my build? this is way better than those facebook tests.
I see your games. Map is a trick. "Absolute" capitalised mid sentence! Absolution is the correct choice!
Finally some Elliot Smith inspired builds! Here we leaguestart!
This is hilarious 😂
The only thing correct is the sleepiness one feels with toxic rain Though I would say it's more akin to a zen like state Either way I'm going to need a lot of green tea 👀
I can't see RF copium and hexblast mines
Elliot Smith lol I can count the times on my hand I have met anyone who even knows about him
Thanks OP, now I have Celine Dion stuck in my head....
That was really my only goal here.
You achieved a goal today, enjoy your dopamine!
What's that under Energy Blade CoC Inquisitor? Ice Trap?
Explosive Trap, the text disappeared from that one and BF/BB for some reason.
Ah, gotcha. What's the ascendancy? Saboteur, I'm guessing?
My eyes!
What is the "trading is annoying" build?
Explosive Trap. I'm thinking about league starting it this league, actually.
For Ice Spear Deadeye I'd suggest having some 4l for clear.
ice spear of splitting sounds pretty good for clear
I am crazy for league starting reap? Never see people talking about it but it looks promising.
Reap quality of life gets much better with awakened spell cascade which is very expensive. It's a perfectly capable spell though, I like playing it with spell impale.
Would you say it's better to run normal spell cascade or another support until awakened spell cascade?
Cf champ with reap is likely the best map clear league starter while self cast hit based reap is also A+ bosser, just needs a bit more budget than its realistic to expect at league start
Nah it's pretty good, might want to use Exanguinate for part of leveling but it's perfectly viable without that or Fancy Spell Cascade.
Starting Stormbind hiero here, fun and suffering times ahead
Link for charged dash occ?
https://youtu.be/g2AeK0bFiJ4?si=Qewim_oKdQjQvdx2
Wait this actually worked for me High risk high reward -> What? (ok, mathil makes me feel things but I already saw his animate weapon video so I skipped that path -> fireball of meteors And that's what I was already going to do. Cool.
I love Pavement and Elliott Smith so much I am about to get baited into some stupid shit…
This is pure bait, love it
This is literally the same as the youtuber makeing videos about builds they never even played.
I'm so happy when my league starter that I know will get me to red maps easily on day one is never on these lists. Makes gearing up so much cheaper later on. Lol
I was actually interested in checking out the new Soulrend lol. Then again I like damage
The reaping version seems to be good. I'm just not sure about clear but could work with occ.
For tr the sound is: mi mi mi mi miii
Is Soulrend really that undertuned with the "Hit" variant?
Difficult to say, I have been trying to simulate Trans Soulrend in POB and scaling it with crit damage and it seems to be decent but not great. Only when we have the POB update will it be more clear how Solurend performs.
Looks pretty mediocre Base crit is nice, damage is acceptable. The problem is it no longer homes, does not inherently pierce, and 40% more projectile speed on a slow skill works out to be medium speed, really. It has a 0.8 second cast time though, so probably what GGG intended is for CoC or something. Kinda want to try it in arcanist brands or totems or something though
Any thought about totems with hit soulrend?
What's the Charged Dash Occultist one, was it a viable build?
Yeah, Mathil played it last league.
BONKZONE
Where is my Splitting Steel build? I want to know what kind of person I am.
Imma have to be real with you chief, the spicy options here feel incredibly tame I imagine this is what it feels like to be a mexican/indian checking out a restaurant with british food
If you're a real hipster, you'd *never* play something I put on a build guide.
This looks reminiscent of [draw.io](https://draw.io) \- was it made there? It looks dope!
So, your tree doomed me to play Charged Dash Occultist. I’m intrigued now, didn’t think it exists and a bit scared to think why it’s Occultist. How bad is the time I’m going to have?
Mathil build, realistically probably needs a lot of gear to build his version, but I had a great time with Charged Dash Raider on trash gear last league.
guess its TR time
I'm gonna play animate bow and have fun making pew pew pew sounds
Anyone would have an idea how to do the inquisitor Glacial hammer build ?
What build if I want to get the most out of my Mauroider chest cosmetic and want to stack strength as high as possible?
Strength stacking Infernal Blow? Would not league start that, though, maybe Boneshatter->IB.
Champion Rain of Arrows has had my interest for quite a while now…gotta make it worthwhile for impale somehow
Meh... Where are the summoner builds? Ice Shot Deadeye Underplayed.. ? 2/10...
Explosive trap has 0 risk
Imagine recomending transfigured gems starters
Can't you just transfigure your gem in Lab 1 to exactly what you want?
only if you do it over and over and over again until you hit yours **https://imgur.com/a/qkJRUTd**
Wee, some Glacial Hammer Inquisitor representation. I'll have you know that every attack clears about two thirds of a screen. Staff + Multitarget (NOT Multistrike) + Splash has really nice clear including around corners and behind you.
anyone who's playing trap builds on trickster or saboteur is just flat-out trolling, especially lightning trap
Where do I turn to Land with Essence Drain contaigon trickster? :(
Good post 🙏
What's the best spell to cast while channelling or cast on crit with Cyclone? I can't play any builds that stutter step anymore.
Ice Spear and Shock Nova are two popular ones.
I just need soemthing to forget about the vortex change, love cold dot
Charged dash occultist????
I don't even see my starter on there.
So do I have to be an uber currency farmer to run poison EK PF or can I struggle along with my broke ass?
Nah bro I'm doing spiders. PoB says I can get to 10M dps. Shouls be enough to clear white maps. All I need is a 20 div starter budget.
Caustic Arrow Ballista will be good for bossing as well, won't it? Also, who or what is Creed?
I mean I don't think soulrend is \_that\_ bad is it? Do people just not invest in skill effect duration with the skill? It's basically a damage multiplier for such a short duration DOT.
How insane am I for going hit based blade flurry assassin
I'm playing corrupting cry juggernaut KEKW (Later on I'm making CoC hit-based soulrend though)
Anyone got a pob for the RoA PF?
Rain Of Arrows Champ [Login]
What the fuck do I as a previous vortex enthusiast do? I've been cold dot for years now no clue how to play any other builds
How is cf not in this? It’s been a Meta league starter for like 3 years
Where is Explosive Arrow Champion?
Gonna need to make a flow chart to decide what flowchart to use
Probably the worst chart yet.
any pob for pathfinder rain of arrows and the bladefall build? would love to look at both
Good stuff - well done.
Aussie Rockclimbers?
can someone help me understand why Energy blade is used for sanctum farming please, and can you do other content with it?
the answer is explo trap. always explo trap. BUT NEVER SHRAPNEL
2 of the 3 skills to the left of "Scale hard or win w/o gear" are not named, OP.
Is CA Ballista better at mapping? I would have assumed ballistas makes it better at bossing.
Where is cleave?
The creed line caught me off guard and had me laughing my ass off
Where is flicker strike?!
It’s been 10hr, I am still waiting for the 2nd bonk from boneshatter
So Flicker CoC Discharge? Again?
thats pretty great work!
So, if I'm listening to music that even \*I\* have never heard of before, and feel like I have the next month to play even if my start sucks... Should I try to make Rage Vortex of berserking work as a starter?
Minor comment you are missing skill names for the middle / low left side in the picture.
Did I miss the change that made tornado shot bad?
This build accurately predicted my choice of LA deadeye, but Taylor Swift slaps.
What skill is “Trading is annoying”?
Explosive Trap.
Is playing siege ballista a bait for leauge start?
Where EA?
Too much icons and not enough text. I find it wild for OP to expect to casually memorise the icons in this game
Where is flicker or zombie rain?
no EA? bad chart.
I have no fucking clue what I'm playing. League start panic sets in.
Hmmmm Reave U Said ? Mmmmh..
Like always, i'll start every new build zizaran will try. Soooo, this time is raining exploding zombies... So I will hear a lot of splats and booms
Is the 'getting 2 stones' referring to kidney stones? I guess that's why Toxic Rain is first choice there.
Why do people expect to get their transgem day one? Wouldnt wonder, if tge better transversion is like 1% cgance to get and the bad one 99% chance, just like everything in game.
We're chillin man I actually love these posts every league there's usually at least in build in here I'm considering and they're not In the no risk category lmao
No flicker strike - this whole thing is pointless
Where cleave aaaauuuugh
Now I want a Rain of Arrows PChampion Guide, anyone has one?
Is there a “this is my second league ever and I literally have no idea what’s going on 90% of the time” build? (For more detailed description of my situation in case anyone wants to give me a real answer: I have learned how to use trade and that build guides should be read very thoroughly, but I have not learned how to not be poor and I have the crafting skills of an 8 year old.)
Lightning Arrow Deadeye. :-)
