Current jewel

I'm trying to find the optimal way to get t1 es, t1 life, lightning ailment effect, and t1 avoid shock. So far I've just been making mass imprints and doing foulborn regal orbs and praying with exalts/annuls but looking for any further advice/optimizations. I feel like I might be missing something obvious but abyss jewel crafting has always seemed absolutely horrendous so maybe that's just the reality of it all.

The magic base I have to imprint has the two lowest weighted mods and hypnotic seems like the best base overall for trying to get these specific 4 mods but maybe someone has some advice cuz this looks like it might be somewhere in the thousands of imprints territory and I don't know if I can bring myself to bother.

Thanks a bunch.

Hello everyone, so a few leagues ago I randomly dropped this staff, and it looked sick so i wondered if we can actually make a coherent build around it. So, a few leagues and another cool belt later, behold, the thing I made. PoB is a bit weird for this since it is a newer item, mainly the dps, since we can only use this skill every 5s or so, divide the average dps by the attack rate to get per hit damage (jank, but cbf doing spreadsheet calcs).

Shaper slam per hit damage: 10-15 million. Yes its a big range, nothing we can do though

WoTC dps: 2.3 million. Can clear all content, including T17s.

The item basically allows us to summon shaper after spending 2000 ES, and I picked the Shaper's Slam variant, which seemed like the most fun. The other variants are the shapers balls and laser, which will be a bit different.

We scale the damage by going diamond shrine for 100% crit, which is important since you can only use this every like 5-6 seconds. Since we are using new belt, we can't use flasks, so we go all in on this idea by going Omni, nameless bloodline and get an extra ring. Since there are not many good ways to scale the damage, we go Omni for massive pen and take away pressure of having resists on gear. Since for omni builds get a ton of stats from the rings, the extra one is pretty sweet.

We go inquisitor for battlemage and more attack damage on spell cast, so we can take advantage of the +5 all skills on the staff and use a cast while channeling WoCT. Because we have a diamond shrine, we can use controlled destruction and ignore the downside. DPS is good enough to clear all maps (around 2.3m WoCT). Then the standard consecrated ground and ES regen/MoM.

We then use 4 runegrafts: Gemcraft(+1 Supports), Fury(rage gen since all life flasks), Warp (buff/debuff duration), Jeweller(10% damage per unlinked socket in weapon)

Forbidden Flame/Flesh for Bastion of Hope to cap block. This is our main defense layer, its a bit rough and only part of the build that feels a bit clunky during play

We then use frostmage to inflate our mana(ES) cost of WoTC to spend 2k es faster with no jank corrupting fever set-up.

Is this build uber viable? I have killed ubers, with each slam dealing around 10-20% of Uber Shaper's hp bar per hit. It is not pleasant, but you can do it lol.

Is this build good? I enjoyed clearing all the content with this and one-shotting things. It will never get close to even a B-tier build but I had fun calling in daddy shaper to dunk on the unbelievers lol

I started late and didn't level with kinetic, just did flame totems and another spell.

Now getting to level 87 and barely in red maps it feels defense has fallen off and offense is just ok.

Anyway, improved dps to 370k for multiple totems. The build I found has 1.8m with all goodies checked in pob.

build I followed sort of. Hugely more defense and offense. So, how much currency does it take to get to t16?

Thanks for the help. I will work on defense now, getting Determination in build and looking into Aegis setup.

I still enjoy the build so no worries there.

Here is my updated build 5/21. Corrected Increased Critical Strikes to Damage. Added Rain of Splinters.

632k so much better.

Only way i see is exalt slam pretty much and hope it hits or doesnt hit an attack tag.

I have no clue what I am doing obviously. I had enough currency to copy a build and it is not anywhere near the expected dps. I was hoping to at least be a couple of million. I know my shield has a double flammability, I will fix that. I also know I should have Elemental resistances on my chest instead of overload. What else can I fix or upgrade in order to pump out more dps?

Hi all, I've linked my POB above for my SSF Cyclone of Tumult build which I'm enjoying very much, however it seems to be falling over quite a lot more than I'd expect.

On paper it's reasonably tanky - I've maxxed out both Spell & normal Block chance, I'm ele + chaos res capped (just about), I've got 90% phys damage reduction, fortify, and a load of leech from Slayer.

I'm still getting randomly oneshot every couple of maps - this build can do 8-mod 16's absolutely fine (other than occasional 1shots) but in more juiced content (delirious maps, T16.5s etc) it starts to struggle.

I'm wondering whether it's mainly likely due to my altar choices, if I'm taking minus resistances that'd quickly take me really low due to hardly being overcapped?

Any thoughts/help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi all. I decided to make my last build of the season a Glad Bob. I watched a couple videos and stole some ideas from ninja, and I'm having a blast so far. I blew most of my currency getting this far, but I'm still farming and was hoping I could ask for some advice on what to upgrade next. So far, this is where I'm thiking:

Watcher's with +1/chaos
Better gloves (higher minion damage)

New weapon eventually (double crit/ruthless with 40% attack OR elem to attack are within my projected budget. just not sure which will be more valuable

Beyond that, I'm lost. I like to have targets in mind to help the grind. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated, not just in gear, but overall too.

Thanks!

EDIT: One thing I definitely need to buy first is a new red dream.. Must have clicked to fast and not paid attention and bought the wrong one.. Oof

Hello,
It's my firs time in PoE, I'm on act 9, roughly 50 hours in game, my build is below but I'm constantly getting one shotted but all kinds of mobs, I was just doing the third labyrinth and first aspirant trial just destroyed me. Can I change anything to gain more survivalibity?
