When I think of end game builds, I usually think of a stacking build, be it attributes, charges, herald, w/e. This is also quite simple to search on ninja since you can just sort it by the highest value for each thing you're after. I want to know what is a build or multiple builds that are almost a staple when it comes to end game activities, that have been played for either a while or were recently discovered.

Hey everyone,

I need some guidance on how to fix/salvage my Winter Orb Occultist on a very tight budget.

I originally tried to copy top builds from poe.ninja, but as you can guess... I ran completely out of Divines before completing it. In a desperate attempt to find a cheaper alternative that could actually work, I stumbled upon Ronnarray's YouTube guide. However, looking closer, his video feels a bit outdated (he discusses whether Pact of Beidat works, whereas ninja uses Pact of Lycia).

Right now, I'm stuck in limbo:

• My gems are basically the ones I finished the acts/campaign with (I know almost all of them need to be replaced).
• My gear is a mess because I tried to pivot halfway.
• I only have 2 Divines left.

Here is my current PoB: https://pobb.in/4JDyQw7TiWwb

My main question:

1. What gem setup should I prioritize right now for a basic 6-link / budget Winter Orb setup?Any

Any advice on priority upgrades or a realistic progression path would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello

I love Shadow (playing a smartass is fun) and I would love to make an actual Hollow Palm build - not just levelling, but all the way. Problem is I don't think he's made for HP - Assassin cranks crit chance, but unarmed attacks don't crit unless I equip Rigwald's Curse, and Trickster offers mostly utility.

Can someone recommend a good Hollow Palm build for Shadow?

EDIT: I found this build: (link). I messed around with it cuz it was old and I wanted to switch it from Frenzy to Cyclone: (PoB link). Does my edit make sense? I'm not very good at making builds ^^; Also, I'm sticking to Standar league.

Hi

A long time casual here, been playing POE since start of open beta but mainly in SSF HC setting so I have never experienced the super endgame.

Now I'm playing a homecooked build in SSF SC and want to push it to Ubers before league ends. Any veteran want to look at my build and see where I can improve?

I'm currently sitting on 10-20M dps and missing Congergate support. Any other upgrade I'm missing?

Plan is to craft a influenced chest when I get the right base or a shaper exalted drop.

My build: https://pobb.in/qaBkMVc3Q4tn

I haven’t tried any lumi builds yet, but wanna ado it before the league ends.

Which guide is the best? I was thinking a kineticist merc mostly.

I have about 200-300d as a starter investment

I am wrapping up this league so I just wanted to show a couple of my homebrews. I have this one I just recorded and another on the way. Keep in mind, these are low budget, I'm a dad and can't be a poe slug 24/7 anymore.

The build actually surprised me how effective it was. I have Forbidden Flesh/Flame for Corpse Pact. How it functions is, I press Lightning Conduit > Kitava's Thirst triggers Desecrate > Desecrate shocks enemies and then the Lightning Conduit strikes. It all happens in the same cast (assuming you get the 50% kitava trigger). Obviously this makes the build clunky at the start since it's slow, and you're gambling if your skill goes off. But eventually you ramp up so much cast speed from Corpse Pact that the 50% chance is negligible.

I also stack ailment effect to get monster shocks (I think I am up to 119% shock?), so using Replica Heatshiver nets us 60% of lightning added as cold damage.

I also have Winterweave and reflecting shocks/chills by using Maligaro's Restraint + Coursing Currents.

Overall I think the budget of the character was around 30-40 Div.

Be warned, the clear speed and AoE is huge but as you can see my phys max hit is like nothing. I survive mostly by blasting everything before I can see it which works surprisingly well. The PoB doesn't have corpses consumed checked because that is variable, but assuming max corpses it should put you around 30m DPS. This build CAN be pushed further but again, I have limited time/currency/attention and want to play other homebrews.

The EHP is generally fine for me, but the damage feels a bit low. I’d like to hear your thoughts on potential ways to improve it. I’m thinking of speccing into this build in 3.30, but I’m not sure whether leveling through PConcOB is the only option. Thanks.
