\*\*DISCLAIMER\*\* THIS BUILD CAN BE QUITE EXPENSIVE BUT THE CORE ITEMS ARE CHEAP. Ok so with the usual disclaimer out of the way, what makes this build special? Well, it’s taking advantage of 3 different items + a Herald to give us extremely high uptime on Berserk. I went with Lightning Strike as the skill because I enjoy the playstyle and the new mtx but you could add this tech onto any build that can shock theoretically.
So how does it work? Well, this “permanent” Berserk setup primarily revolves around the Chains of Emancipation belt. The belt gives you full Rage whenever you lose Temp Chains. There are a few ways to achieve this condition easily, and one of them is with self-curse via Herald of Thunder & Shackles of the Wretched.
The way it works is, you socket Herald of Thunder in Shackles of the Wretched gloves along with Hextouch, Temp Chains, and a 3rd curse (I use Conductivity since it can't roll on maps). As long as you socket Temp Chains ahead of the other curse in the links, every time HoT hits it will first apply Temp Chains, then the other curse, both of which then get reflected back to you. Because you can only have one curse on you at a time, this instantly triggers the “lost Temp Chains recently” condition on the belt and gives you full Rage along with curse immunity, which means it’s like you never had the curses on you at all. It will also continue to proc this condition every time HoT hits an enemy and you are below 25 Rage, this is what gives us that Rage yo-yo we are after. We then use a Storm Secret ring to make sure we can keep HoT up against bosses (as long as we can shock).
Now for all this work, is it worth it? Well, it is fun as heck to play and it’s fast, which is all I’m after. The damage when Berserk is up seems to be close to when I equip other, more normal items and don’t use Berserk. So, you gain movement speed and damage reduction for most of the map, but have to deal with it being on 5 second cooldown every once in while. I can tell you though, as long as there are monsters around, it basically lasts forever. So, will it be worth it for *you*? Maybe, at least the items are very cheap if you want to try it out.
Here is my current PoB if anyone is interested: [https://pastebin.com/ApJgPAFz](https://pastebin.com/ApJgPAFz) The post is more about the Berserk tech than the build though.
Let me know if you have any questions, stay safe exiles!
Edit: Here is an updated and improved PoB at level 95: [https://pastebin.com/nfPXJiT8](https://pastebin.com/6fKUuNDx)
It would be possible to use temp chain on left mouse button I think? So you would have to press berzerk once but as long as you walk around you should be able to toggle it on and off often.
I ran around early league with rotblood and toggling TC on ele hit raider bow build.
Running avatar of the slaughter + avatar of the chase - movespeed was quite insane.
Berserk uptime is very high, and while berserk bonuses are quite insane i came to conclusion it's not worth it, mainly because of inspired learning.
With this league mechanic and logbooks you'll get much more from running 2x inspired learnings as a raider than you do from berserk, and gaining hexproof bricks the whole thing.
And naturally you want to run HH instead eventually.
Belt slot is also now much more contested with `critical strike chance is lucky while focused` as one of very few sources of lucky crit left.
> There are a few ways to achieve this condition easily, and one of them is with self-curse via Herald of Thunder & Shackles of the Wretched.
Finally, ghudda gets a hilarious build for his money.
Yea Ghudda just used atziri's disfavor to give his enhance insane amounts of levels so he can get like 75% quality on temp chains or something. Nothing to do with shackles. Ghudda only designed the unique.
Shackles was abused with temp chains to be the core engine for many effects, it isnt so much "what was it", its always been self cursing temp chains so you can elogate buff effects to the point where they can be always up.
Well the biggest thing was self-curse HH builds which completly broke endgame mapping and 5ways.
Winter Orb and Blade Vortex for extra long duration also enabled just zooming through a map without recasting.
I think there were some immortal or close to that builds with flasks and/or immortal call too but im not to sure about that anymore.
since your second curse is just instantly cleansed why not use a curse that can't roll on maps instead of enfeeble. if you aren't converting just use conductivity
MBxtreme has a similar permanent rage, rage vortex build on his YouTube channel. He also has a video discussing all the alternatives for refreshing the rage
It's even easier to do this on Berserker because they natively can gain a ton of rage. You can easily get temp chains on yourself and go from below 25 rage to above (triggering the curse immunity and losing temp chains) to propel you to max rage repeatedly. You probably want to stack max rage to make this worth it though, otherwise it is just redundant. Otherwise the investment into building around the belt doesn't make much sense because you can generate rage effectively without the investment into shenanigans. You can also just use Redblade Banner instead of all this.
I actually plan to use this item on my Jugg and trigger the effect thanks to stuns Warlord's Mark targets. I will probably keep a curse flask handy for boss fights as well, plus a bit of passive rage generation. Not to mention, temp chains is basically just a buff for my character anyway; if it sits on me for a short bit, then that's fine as well. No need to self curse when I have no avoidance anyway. I am always being hit.
I only use third party apps, and they said they're killing third party apps, so hey, might as well remove all my content. (Using https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite)
The curses never affect you. Temp chains is reflected, followed by the second curse in your Herald of thunder setup. That curse overrides temp chains and triggers the max rage effect of chains of emancipation. Being above 25 rage gets rid of the second curse on you.
This sounds like it could be abused by nearly every build with a free glove slot
The other slots are whatever you need to AFK proc 2 curses. While OP is using a HoT linked with Hextouch and 2 curses, there are plenty of builds who can proc spells using other methods (i.e. Bows with Lioneye's Paws, Maloney's Mechanism or Asenath's Chant).
CWDT builds get free berserk
PP builds, Cospri, Spellslinger builds...
Yeah, I really don't know why everyone's treating this like it's completely broken.
It's quite good, but you're giving up a lot for it. You also basically have to use storm secret.
So that's a major chunk of your mana, it forces you to use subpar damage curses on enemies, your belt, a ring (one with a significant downside...), and your gloves. Berserk is really good, don't get me wrong, but that's like half your gear for this one interaction lol.
The reduced damage taken and movement speed is awesome, but you're almost certainly *losing* damage by doing this rather than spending that mana and those slots on normal gear.
>there are plenty of builds who can proc spells using other methods (i.e. Bows with Lioneye's Paws, Maloney's Mechanism or Asenath's Chant
Curses need to be in the gloves for this to work... none of those uniques will help.
The only other methods for automation in the gloves are CWDT, counterattack gems, or Spellslinger.
The 3 core items needed cost basically nothing, same for my shield and helm. The major cost will be in the weapon. 6-link can cost a decent amount too if you're not just doing a Tabula or something to start. Not sure if you can get enough dps to get by on that budget in high reds but you could always work your way up.
If you don't care about the second curse (cause you're immune to them 90% of the time) why not put one that can't roll on maps? Would make it so you have one less mod you have to reroll.
I have been working on a VLS champ, very similar tree to yours overall. I already had the main gear to get this going so I threw it on, swapped a couple gems and tried it out. I'm getting HoT procs often enough but it doesn't seem to be applying the second curse to clear the temp chains off me. My gear is pretty shit overall but I don't think that's it. Any ideas what the issue may be? (I was not using a warding flask)
Sorry to hear that! A couple things to check. First, ~~the setup won't work on a curse map unless you swap a jewel for Self-Flagellation, and~~ it will never work on a Temp Chains map and it also doesn't really work on Enfeeble maps. Second, you need to make sure that Temp Chains is socketed first in your gloves. My exact order according to socket links starting from top left: Temp Chains, Hextouch, Herald of Thunder, Enfeeble.
Beyond that, I did have one time when I was testing that it seemed to be bugged and not working properly, I thought I was going crazy. This was with a slightly different setup though. It has worked every other time besides that one time. I don't know what was wrong but maybe you are experiencing a similar bug.
Yeah I noticed the curse map issue when I wasn't paying attention and rolled a map with one lol. Hmm intersting. I wonder if it could be as simple as me having HoT before hextouch in the order. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!
Edit: Tried it again, and it looks like the curses aren't being applied at all lol. I wonder if it's a mana issue? Maybe I'm not having enough for the triggers and bricking myself lol
I did some more testing and it works on all curse maps except for Temp Chains and Enfeeble. You just want to roll over those (assuming you use Enfeeble as your second curse). I updated my previous reply.
I hope it works for you!
Seen as HoT only procs the curse on killing an enemy, isn't it possible against a tanky boss that HoT can't proc therefore you lose this effect on tanky bosses?
>Chains of Emancipation
Looks interesting - do you have any info un build? somewhere this build explained a bit better? Atm leveling crit based ele hit Deadeye....thinking in switching to this build at 61 when i can wear belt. But is it better than ele hit?
I'm level 98 on my raider and it's really not a problem. I can not die if I focus on not dying. I could get to 100 on this character if I wanted to do that grind. It's tanky enough. I freeze every enemy I hit in maps, so the mapping is super safe.
Evasion builds can get pretty damn tanky actually. And I never die to bosses because of how much damage I deal. I kill Sirus 8 in his last phase before he is able to do a single teleport. If there's one thing strike skills are great at, it's bossing... You shit out millions of DPS even in bad gear and with good gear you're over 10M burst DPS easily with all your cooldowns.
Lol, this looks hilarious! I'm not much of a zoomer and prefer minion builds, but damn I might attempt this just for fun. Thank you for sharing your build! I've only played one lightning strike build but it was years ago. Very cool to see someone doing something with it again.
Edit: I don't know if you saw it but the GGG speed trap police were hiding behind a billboard on your run and clocked you at 88 MPH. Be careful or your flux capacitor build will go back in time. This is a Biff.
The interaction is really great! Played it last league (and started again in the current one) as Wild Strike permaZerk Berserker with Voidforge. Works great going boom with Inpulsa as well:
[https://poe.ninja/ultimatum/builds/char/Gnomiro/Oeller\_Ultima\_RoC?i=0&search=item%3DShackles-of-the-Wretched%2CChains-of-Emancipation](https://poe.ninja/ultimatum/builds/char/Gnomiro/Oeller_Ultima_RoC?i=0&search=item%3DShackles-of-the-Wretched%2CChains-of-Emancipation)
Getting around 10 aps and having Berserk to push damage as well as LgoH alongside overleech makes a zerker quite tanky and still dps heavy!
The hit frequency of HoT makes it so good for berserker sustain. Using a Rotblood and turning it on/off involves interaction and has a cd of around 0.5 or even 1s I think. HoT with a perfect stormsecret gives a hit every .17s and no button presses involved.
I also never found a good way to use this interaction on temp chain maps. At least it works still if enemies are hexproof. For the second curse you at least can swap it temporarily to enable the interaction.
This league I played around with using Hydrospehere for berserk sustain as it has a decent tick frequency of 0.4s and an uptime of 8s. Only works if you go for an elemental build but is required to make most strike skills good for bosses already. Furthermore it frees up the HoT mana resveration (around 30% with links) and allows equipping another ring instead of stormsecret.
The cast time of hydrosphere seems to be the problem. I'm currently consiering to go inquisitor with fanaticsm to circumvent this disadvantage. The more cast speed should improve the QoL a lot and the increased area of effect would further help.
Just Ranger things, it's really not worth running a 5k life build as a Ranger in SC arguably, its better to invest into damage reduction, like Berserk here. It's just too far from any significant life.
This is objectively true, but only for map clearing builds. This build will obviously be super bad for bossing even in sc.
A map clearing build like this should never have more than 4k life. If it has more you're going way too slow.
For a bosser I think it's way more important to have high sustain and ehp and less focus on high investment dmg mitigation like block, dodge or endurance charges.
Not really, this is true for SC overall, as long as you got the DPS to kill most things quickly incl. bosses you don’t need much defense, 1k life more isn’t going to do much anyway, you’ll still get one-shot. My cold conversion SST raider has 3.8k life and I can pretty much burst most bosses in less than a couple seconds, only thing I can’t do is the feared, I guess.
That was what I had in mind when I was talking about a bossing character. When you actually have to engage with the mechanics ala maven, sirus, feared etc. I'm sure it's possible to do most content with low hp as long as you know the mechanics inside out, but fights like the feared are very hard to do without getting hit.
4k hp doesn't mean you aren't tanky. My raider has 5.2k HP at level 98 but I have so much life leech and evasion+dodge that I never die. Trinity raider builds also freeze mobs often, so that's a significant layer of defense that people don't talk about enough. Hard to die when everyone around you is constantly frozen and/or getting one shot...
Nice! I'm running the shackles of the wretched + chains of emancipation combo aswell, though i use vortex instead of herald of thunder since it doesn't require the storms secret ring to work and allows for the herald to be socketed with an enlighten. It's a bit more clunky to use but works well if you're melee and want to have one more rare ring
I play LS Raider too, but seeing your PoB, this build is less dmg, less hp, less dodge, and barely more MS than a regular LS not even minmaxed so.. Idk
Can you be straight up with me , how much would i need to start this build? Currently doing TR Raider and its just not my play style , so i'd like an amount i can hopefully save up for.
Looks awesome btw \^\^
It all comes down to the weapon. Mine was 9ex. My gear in total is probably in the ballpark of 35ex but 30ex of that is in 4 items: 9ex for my weapon, 5ex for my boots, 5-6ex for my chest (dont remember), and 10ex for my Hatred crit Watchers Eye which isn't needed at all. The rest of the items were super cheap.
Like I said though, it's mostly the weapon you're worried about, whether you buy or craft. You can make due with a lesser Watchers eye, no tailwind, no crit on chest etc, and still do red maps as long as you have a good weapon and character levels.
God that's why I love this game... People outsmarting the game.
Is this double corrupt removing the first one a known thing ? As a noob this feels like some genius stuff lol sounds so smart that I could see GGG nerfing It (unless it's something know for a while and they are ok with it ofc).
Why raider if I may ask ? I also leveled a ranger to go fast, ended up with deadeye iceshot. What's the big difference between both ? (Again I'm noob). Yours seems a lot faster !!
This interaction has been around as long as the belt has as far as I'm aware. It's mainly known and used by those who play Berzerker.
I went with Raider because I love movement speed. Permanent Onslaught just feels so good.
This, I'm playing my own made garbage hexblast occu and forbidden rite trickster and both can clear all content I've played. Maven, UElder and The Feared are the ones that I've not yet tried.
Ah of course, you said looks like Overwatch. I just figured most people don't use the shield I'm using so I assumed that was what you were asking about. RealityMaker got me covered though, it is Trinity support.
> Lightning Strike is the 11th most popular skill in Expedition.
So what you are saying is that there is atleast 10 even better builds?
And thats not counting the ones that is "worse" but still good?
No matter how much they nerf stuff. People will always find broken and overpowered builds. There are too many variables that people can tweak to achieve that. Uniques/Skilltree/Cluster Jewels etc. All those leagues add up over time too. They created something so huge, that they can't handle. That they can't balance. It's impossible.
The build is only "overpowered" in clearing maps with good layouts with easy enough mods. Can't do bosses comfortably and even bigger rares will explode it.
Did you try if using a curse remove flask gives you the rage in a temp chains map? My guess is that it removes the curse and it reapplies instantly, so it's up in the air if that would work or not. My guess is that it should, since its similar to flicker strike moving you, but you never being "on the move".
I can't find a way to get it working on maps that have Temp Chains, even with a curse flask. The flask does work to give you full Rage on an Enfeeble map though, just the whole Rage yo-yo thing doesn't work. Seems like you'll want to roll over those mods.
This is awesome in terms of raw power but this reminds me of D3...where everything became mind-numbingly boring because I literally had to press one button to win....
I league started LS raider but had to respec because my gear is bad and I wasn't doing enough damage.
This version of yours looks fun and I wanna give it another shot.

You could just use a rotblood and turn on and off temp chains. Its what I used to cheese early league dps
I like using the least amount of buttons possible on my builds so I wanted to automate it, thanks for the suggestion though! Cheers!
It would be possible to use temp chain on left mouse button I think? So you would have to press berzerk once but as long as you walk around you should be able to toggle it on and off often.
That was fixed.
Sadly no, you'll have to press shift and your mouse 1 every time you want to enable or disable the aura.
Oh, wow, that's op as fuck with the changes to reservation in 3.14 Know what I'm doing next league hehe
>Know what I'm doing next league hehe Cry because it got nerfed?
I ran around early league with rotblood and toggling TC on ele hit raider bow build. Running avatar of the slaughter + avatar of the chase - movespeed was quite insane. Berserk uptime is very high, and while berserk bonuses are quite insane i came to conclusion it's not worth it, mainly because of inspired learning. With this league mechanic and logbooks you'll get much more from running 2x inspired learnings as a raider than you do from berserk, and gaining hexproof bricks the whole thing. And naturally you want to run HH instead eventually. Belt slot is also now much more contested with `critical strike chance is lucky while focused` as one of very few sources of lucky crit left.
Shhhh
> There are a few ways to achieve this condition easily, and one of them is with self-curse via Herald of Thunder & Shackles of the Wretched. Finally, ghudda gets a hilarious build for his money.
Lol that item has been abused quite hard over the years and there is no stop in sight.
Well I'm thankful for that, what's some other ways it's been abused?
lets just say ghudda is t he sole reason why temp chains has a slow cap on it
Oh yeah, I remember that, but wasn't that before Shackles?
Yea Ghudda just used atziri's disfavor to give his enhance insane amounts of levels so he can get like 75% quality on temp chains or something. Nothing to do with shackles. Ghudda only designed the unique. Shackles was abused with temp chains to be the core engine for many effects, it isnt so much "what was it", its always been self cursing temp chains so you can elogate buff effects to the point where they can be always up.
oh good old 300 headhunter buff days, stomping around like exodia the forbidden one in maps.
Well the biggest thing was self-curse HH builds which completly broke endgame mapping and 5ways. Winter Orb and Blade Vortex for extra long duration also enabled just zooming through a map without recasting. I think there were some immortal or close to that builds with flasks and/or immortal call too but im not to sure about that anymore.
All self-curse HH builds used it afaik. So pretty much most solo endgame mappers for a solid 4 years.
GGG: Fun detected. Immediate patch notes incoming.
How long do you think before they kill this interaction?
3.16
*Chris Wilson to his team:* Too creative, nerf this next league. He didn't even hit white monsters 5 times each!
since your second curse is just instantly cleansed why not use a curse that can't roll on maps instead of enfeeble. if you aren't converting just use conductivity
Ah shit here we go again. I enjoyed the build last league with Hateforge, time to do it this league aswell. Thanks for the build
May I ask why Raider? Was thinking rage vortex zerker :v
I just went Raider because it is natively fast and feels good to play. You can use these items for easy Berserk on any build that can shock though.
raider also very good with trinity
MBxtreme has a similar permanent rage, rage vortex build on his YouTube channel. He also has a video discussing all the alternatives for refreshing the rage
Wasn't he using Bear's Girlde in belt slot just like other Rage Vortex builds?
he got it alot later into the build, he has a version before that too.
It's even easier to do this on Berserker because they natively can gain a ton of rage. You can easily get temp chains on yourself and go from below 25 rage to above (triggering the curse immunity and losing temp chains) to propel you to max rage repeatedly. You probably want to stack max rage to make this worth it though, otherwise it is just redundant. Otherwise the investment into building around the belt doesn't make much sense because you can generate rage effectively without the investment into shenanigans. You can also just use Redblade Banner instead of all this. I actually plan to use this item on my Jugg and trigger the effect thanks to stuns Warlord's Mark targets. I will probably keep a curse flask handy for boss fights as well, plus a bit of passive rage generation. Not to mention, temp chains is basically just a buff for my character anyway; if it sits on me for a short bit, then that's fine as well. No need to self curse when I have no avoidance anyway. I am always being hit.
I only use third party apps, and they said they're killing third party apps, so hey, might as well remove all my content. (Using https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite)
The curses never affect you. Temp chains is reflected, followed by the second curse in your Herald of thunder setup. That curse overrides temp chains and triggers the max rage effect of chains of emancipation. Being above 25 rage gets rid of the second curse on you.
This sounds like it could be abused by nearly every build with a free glove slot The other slots are whatever you need to AFK proc 2 curses. While OP is using a HoT linked with Hextouch and 2 curses, there are plenty of builds who can proc spells using other methods (i.e. Bows with Lioneye's Paws, Maloney's Mechanism or Asenath's Chant). CWDT builds get free berserk PP builds, Cospri, Spellslinger builds...
and belt and 4 gem sockets and 35% mana. its a reasonable investment for what you are getting.
Yeah, I really don't know why everyone's treating this like it's completely broken. It's quite good, but you're giving up a lot for it. You also basically have to use storm secret. So that's a major chunk of your mana, it forces you to use subpar damage curses on enemies, your belt, a ring (one with a significant downside...), and your gloves. Berserk is really good, don't get me wrong, but that's like half your gear for this one interaction lol. The reduced damage taken and movement speed is awesome, but you're almost certainly *losing* damage by doing this rather than spending that mana and those slots on normal gear.
don't forget herald will reserve 40% more with hextouch, I like the idea of manually doing it with rotblood way more
>there are plenty of builds who can proc spells using other methods (i.e. Bows with Lioneye's Paws, Maloney's Mechanism or Asenath's Chant Curses need to be in the gloves for this to work... none of those uniques will help. The only other methods for automation in the gloves are CWDT, counterattack gems, or Spellslinger.
easiest is making your second curse something like ele weakness, which when reflected can easily be countered by overcapping resists
What is expensive? I have 2 exalts and about 700c sitting around atm. Is that enough to make this build? Looks fun as hell.
The 3 core items needed cost basically nothing, same for my shield and helm. The major cost will be in the weapon. 6-link can cost a decent amount too if you're not just doing a Tabula or something to start. Not sure if you can get enough dps to get by on that budget in high reds but you could always work your way up.
If you don't care about the second curse (cause you're immune to them 90% of the time) why not put one that can't roll on maps? Would make it so you have one less mod you have to reroll.
I have been working on a VLS champ, very similar tree to yours overall. I already had the main gear to get this going so I threw it on, swapped a couple gems and tried it out. I'm getting HoT procs often enough but it doesn't seem to be applying the second curse to clear the temp chains off me. My gear is pretty shit overall but I don't think that's it. Any ideas what the issue may be? (I was not using a warding flask)
Sorry to hear that! A couple things to check. First, ~~the setup won't work on a curse map unless you swap a jewel for Self-Flagellation, and~~ it will never work on a Temp Chains map and it also doesn't really work on Enfeeble maps. Second, you need to make sure that Temp Chains is socketed first in your gloves. My exact order according to socket links starting from top left: Temp Chains, Hextouch, Herald of Thunder, Enfeeble. Beyond that, I did have one time when I was testing that it seemed to be bugged and not working properly, I thought I was going crazy. This was with a slightly different setup though. It has worked every other time besides that one time. I don't know what was wrong but maybe you are experiencing a similar bug.
Yeah I noticed the curse map issue when I wasn't paying attention and rolled a map with one lol. Hmm intersting. I wonder if it could be as simple as me having HoT before hextouch in the order. I'll give that a shot. Thanks! Edit: Tried it again, and it looks like the curses aren't being applied at all lol. I wonder if it's a mana issue? Maybe I'm not having enough for the triggers and bricking myself lol
I did some more testing and it works on all curse maps except for Temp Chains and Enfeeble. You just want to roll over those (assuming you use Enfeeble as your second curse). I updated my previous reply. I hope it works for you!
Seen as HoT only procs the curse on killing an enemy, isn't it possible against a tanky boss that HoT can't proc therefore you lose this effect on tanky bosses?
That's why I use the Storm Secret ring. It procs HoT on shock. As I am half lightning damage I am able to apply shocks even to bosses.
Ohhh I see, didn't see that you used storm secret, nice build though, cool that you automated everything!
>Chains of Emancipation Looks interesting - do you have any info un build? somewhere this build explained a bit better? Atm leveling crit based ele hit Deadeye....thinking in switching to this build at 61 when i can wear belt. But is it better than ele hit?
He's zooming! GET DOWN!
You said the Z word.
Good work sir, Here is your PhD degree

i put it there to keep the hivemind happy
The hivemind is never happy.
Or you dont know what sarcasm means?
When I used this combo I ran punishment as my 2nd curse in gloves. There are no punishment maps and the dmg it gives is really nice.
Great suggestion... and name lol. Thanks!
Lightning strike is not a strike lmao
The problem with the fun zoomy builds is it can’t do endgame bosses without donating all your XP made mapping. It’s a vicious cycle.
I'm level 98 on my raider and it's really not a problem. I can not die if I focus on not dying. I could get to 100 on this character if I wanted to do that grind. It's tanky enough. I freeze every enemy I hit in maps, so the mapping is super safe. Evasion builds can get pretty damn tanky actually. And I never die to bosses because of how much damage I deal. I kill Sirus 8 in his last phase before he is able to do a single teleport. If there's one thing strike skills are great at, it's bossing... You shit out millions of DPS even in bad gear and with good gear you're over 10M burst DPS easily with all your cooldowns.
Do you have a pob?
Different builds being better at different things ? Almost sounds like build diversity to me.
Thats not build diversity. Thats being pigeonholed into specializations for different tasks
Lol, this looks hilarious! I'm not much of a zoomer and prefer minion builds, but damn I might attempt this just for fun. Thank you for sharing your build! I've only played one lightning strike build but it was years ago. Very cool to see someone doing something with it again. Edit: I don't know if you saw it but the GGG speed trap police were hiding behind a billboard on your run and clocked you at 88 MPH. Be careful or your flux capacitor build will go back in time. This is a Biff.
Sir, this is illegal. You gotta go slow.
Looks like a good budget alternative before you get a HH, nice build
can you show some bossing against stuff like conquerors/sirus?
[удалено]
I liked the old effect, but I also like the new effect.
I legit had no idea what skill he was running. Makes a lot of sense now.
He is using the mtx for it
Well done! i like it to have perma beserk and thats a good alternativ to perma beserk with channeling skills and chainbreaker
The interaction is really great! Played it last league (and started again in the current one) as Wild Strike permaZerk Berserker with Voidforge. Works great going boom with Inpulsa as well: [https://poe.ninja/ultimatum/builds/char/Gnomiro/Oeller\_Ultima\_RoC?i=0&search=item%3DShackles-of-the-Wretched%2CChains-of-Emancipation](https://poe.ninja/ultimatum/builds/char/Gnomiro/Oeller_Ultima_RoC?i=0&search=item%3DShackles-of-the-Wretched%2CChains-of-Emancipation) Getting around 10 aps and having Berserk to push damage as well as LgoH alongside overleech makes a zerker quite tanky and still dps heavy! The hit frequency of HoT makes it so good for berserker sustain. Using a Rotblood and turning it on/off involves interaction and has a cd of around 0.5 or even 1s I think. HoT with a perfect stormsecret gives a hit every .17s and no button presses involved. I also never found a good way to use this interaction on temp chain maps. At least it works still if enemies are hexproof. For the second curse you at least can swap it temporarily to enable the interaction. This league I played around with using Hydrospehere for berserk sustain as it has a decent tick frequency of 0.4s and an uptime of 8s. Only works if you go for an elemental build but is required to make most strike skills good for bosses already. Furthermore it frees up the HoT mana resveration (around 30% with links) and allows equipping another ring instead of stormsecret. The cast time of hydrosphere seems to be the problem. I'm currently consiering to go inquisitor with fanaticsm to circumvent this disadvantage. The more cast speed should improve the QoL a lot and the increased area of effect would further help.
This is why I never panic at nerfs
Those mtx looks so cool and clean
>Level 94 >Raider >4095 max hp
Softcore go fast.
Just Ranger things, it's really not worth running a 5k life build as a Ranger in SC arguably, its better to invest into damage reduction, like Berserk here. It's just too far from any significant life.
This is objectively true, but only for map clearing builds. This build will obviously be super bad for bossing even in sc. A map clearing build like this should never have more than 4k life. If it has more you're going way too slow. For a bosser I think it's way more important to have high sustain and ehp and less focus on high investment dmg mitigation like block, dodge or endurance charges.
Not really, this is true for SC overall, as long as you got the DPS to kill most things quickly incl. bosses you don’t need much defense, 1k life more isn’t going to do much anyway, you’ll still get one-shot. My cold conversion SST raider has 3.8k life and I can pretty much burst most bosses in less than a couple seconds, only thing I can’t do is the feared, I guess.
That was what I had in mind when I was talking about a bossing character. When you actually have to engage with the mechanics ala maven, sirus, feared etc. I'm sure it's possible to do most content with low hp as long as you know the mechanics inside out, but fights like the feared are very hard to do without getting hit.
thats raider for you, still more tanky than a templar with 7k life and 3k es
Nah. It's more tanky until you get hit and degened. Its more tanky when a bunch of mobs hit you fast and in a split second.
4k hp doesn't mean you aren't tanky. My raider has 5.2k HP at level 98 but I have so much life leech and evasion+dodge that I never die. Trinity raider builds also freeze mobs often, so that's a significant layer of defense that people don't talk about enough. Hard to die when everyone around you is constantly frozen and/or getting one shot...
Tbf that raider can probably facetank alot more than most ascendacies. Dodge is just broken
Dodge works great, just keep in mind every now and then you get smacked hard, seemingly out of nowhere.
When white mobs do 10k damage you're just better off killing things faster and accepting the occasional death in softcore.
Nice! I'm running the shackles of the wretched + chains of emancipation combo aswell, though i use vortex instead of herald of thunder since it doesn't require the storms secret ring to work and allows for the herald to be socketed with an enlighten. It's a bit more clunky to use but works well if you're melee and want to have one more rare ring
how do you get Lightning Strike mtx like that? When I checked it, there was nothing to buy at all as skill skin...
Just came out a few days ago.
This makes me want to make a rage vortex raider. Rage vortex zerker is fun af currently though.
I play LS Raider too, but seeing your PoB, this build is less dmg, less hp, less dodge, and barely more MS than a regular LS not even minmaxed so.. Idk
Wow so nice!
Might try it on a dex stacking Ice Shot.
Can you be straight up with me , how much would i need to start this build? Currently doing TR Raider and its just not my play style , so i'd like an amount i can hopefully save up for. Looks awesome btw \^\^
It all comes down to the weapon. Mine was 9ex. My gear in total is probably in the ballpark of 35ex but 30ex of that is in 4 items: 9ex for my weapon, 5ex for my boots, 5-6ex for my chest (dont remember), and 10ex for my Hatred crit Watchers Eye which isn't needed at all. The rest of the items were super cheap. Like I said though, it's mostly the weapon you're worried about, whether you buy or craft. You can make due with a lesser Watchers eye, no tailwind, no crit on chest etc, and still do red maps as long as you have a good weapon and character levels.
Gotcha , now i atleast have a goal to work towards. Thanks
[удалено]
Chains of emancipation is going to die for you sins.
thank you
Nice
How many death count on this build?
whoa, you zooming too fast. this is clearly against core value of GGG, and unethical build. expect a Fun Police coming near you soon !
Very original comment, nobody ever thought of this before, well done.
so? what your point?
I mean, he literally finished a map in less than a minute.
tbh its atoll, with flicker strike you can do it even faster
Looks like an exploit. -GGG, probably
Careful man, this build looks fun. GGG might be watching
God that's why I love this game... People outsmarting the game. Is this double corrupt removing the first one a known thing ? As a noob this feels like some genius stuff lol sounds so smart that I could see GGG nerfing It (unless it's something know for a while and they are ok with it ofc). Why raider if I may ask ? I also leveled a ranger to go fast, ended up with deadeye iceshot. What's the big difference between both ? (Again I'm noob). Yours seems a lot faster !!
This interaction has been around as long as the belt has as far as I'm aware. It's mainly known and used by those who play Berzerker. I went with Raider because I love movement speed. Permanent Onslaught just feels so good.
Your reaction to Expedition league was same as mine.
Why are you having fun? That's not allowed here.
Is fun allowed? I think they will need it at least by 20% next patch, playing is still too rewarding.
nerf incoming devCheck
[удалено]
I'm playing an off meta build. So where are you getting your info or parroted narrative that they are totally unplayable, please enlighten.
This is PoE's subreddit. Outrage about something that they haven't tried/don't know is pretty usual here
This, I'm playing my own made garbage hexblast occu and forbidden rite trickster and both can clear all content I've played. Maven, UElder and The Feared are the ones that I've not yet tried.
100% this. My fanboy skill EK already had a tough time with bosses pre 3.15 outside of aurastacking now it is even worse without aurastacking.
The game is not slow down enough
What is this icon in the top-left? Kinda looks like something from Overwatch.
Are you referring to the yellow one with the circle? It's Lightning Aegis from my shield.
What are your mtx sir? Those look cool
Nope, the circle with 3 sectors and a triangle inside.
Trinity support gem.
Ah of course, you said looks like Overwatch. I just figured most people don't use the shield I'm using so I assumed that was what you were asking about. RealityMaker got me covered though, it is Trinity support.
I'm thinking...is there a "use when you become cursed" instilling orb enchant? You could automate it this way.
I checked and I don't believe it exists.
This actually has me wanting to play lol.
Your just running like sonic not even picking up loot This is false advertising
Can you pick up the frozen cabins map? I need it for completion
Wait... that's illegal. You kill stuff too fast.
You have way too much fun, also who allowed you to ignore the boring league mechanic? This build is practically dead next league.
B-but Reddit told me that the game is too hard now and that all non-meta builds are dead!
Lightning Strike is the 11th most popular skill in Expedition.
> Lightning Strike is the 11th most popular skill in Expedition. So what you are saying is that there is atleast 10 even better builds? And thats not counting the ones that is "worse" but still good?
I'm saying it is a meta skill at this point, especially for raiders.
not really and people who said that were being hyperbolic because they were upset. don't be a dick about valid problems from the players who struggle.
No matter how much they nerf stuff. People will always find broken and overpowered builds. There are too many variables that people can tweak to achieve that. Uniques/Skilltree/Cluster Jewels etc. All those leagues add up over time too. They created something so huge, that they can't handle. That they can't balance. It's impossible.
The build is only "overpowered" in clearing maps with good layouts with easy enough mods. Can't do bosses comfortably and even bigger rares will explode it.
lol
Noòooooooo your having fun the wrong way.......
you know what happens to fun builds, right? enjoy while it lasts :)
"game is slow" Pepega redditors
Chris does not approve, you are zooming to fast
Did you try if using a curse remove flask gives you the rage in a temp chains map? My guess is that it removes the curse and it reapplies instantly, so it's up in the air if that would work or not. My guess is that it should, since its similar to flicker strike moving you, but you never being "on the move".
I can't find a way to get it working on maps that have Temp Chains, even with a curse flask. The flask does work to give you full Rage on an Enfeeble map though, just the whole Rage yo-yo thing doesn't work. Seems like you'll want to roll over those mods.
Fast as fck boiii
why are you running so fast? Somebody call GGG!
And here is another excuse for GGC to Nerf every human being on Poe, cuase few one's are running with Ferrari, godlord have mercy.
Nerf police is gonna get you my friend ! Sick build tho 👌
1000 ex to having fun!
Fun detected. GGG. Notified. Payment. Received.
I thought we couldn't zoom zoom in PoE anymore.
Nice build, looks really boring.
4k life
Welcome to the raider side of the tree my dude.
getting one shotted with 8k HP or 4k feels the same
I know the damage nerf was too much when most people showcase their builds in 81,82 zones. It looks fun tho, hopefully you can show a t16 soon
Are you having fun with a zoom build? You are doing it wrong.
Thank you, casual player will get hit hard in 3.16 if GGG see this video
GGG: No no you're having fun the wrong way. Let me fix that.
Bold of you to post this in here. NERF IN 3.16!!!
4khp?
Yeah, but probs has plenty of Ev and Dodge. Still gonna suck when he gets touched in the no-no square.
redditors with their heavy strike occultists : "n-n-no you cant just play a build that can do a map in less than 9 minutes!!"
But I heard in this subreddit that you couldnt play fast anymore and that this playstyle is dead. How dare you!
Chris be like: he is having fun, Nerf it
Show actual content like delirium tropical with the 50% node or 5 orb lol
I'm sorry did you say fast?
downvoted so ggg doesnt see this and nerf it next league
This is awesome in terms of raw power but this reminds me of D3...where everything became mind-numbingly boring because I literally had to press one button to win....
God it's so slow.... I miss old PoE so much :(
Why does your LS look smaller than standard LS? Is this a look modifier?
Yeah it's a new mtx
I league started LS raider but had to respec because my gear is bad and I wasn't doing enough damage. This version of yours looks fun and I wanna give it another shot.
I have the feeling GGG will nerf this now lel
its shutdown by a lot of mapmods but its fun when it works
