love the gear progression idea - helps me a lot =)

The gear upgrades are really a good ideia, loving to see the progession, and helps a lot too

Thanks for the vids on this build, took me a while to get it off the ground but I've been loving it. Absolutely blasts through maps, content is a breeze, and it just feels great to play. Thanks for the guide and all the tips

Great recap. Would love this format. Keep up the good work!

Great content, mate. Keep it up :) Love the progress vids, goes to show how realistic and adequate your builds are.

Great video, I figured some of these things out on my own but missed some of them too. Having a video covering common mistakes or changes from the pre league video is always so welcome

Thanks for doing a follow-up progression video! Definitely useful for us PoE mortals :D. I remember following you for fast campaign leveling tips years ago, glad to see you're doing content, keep it up!

Liked and subbed. Rolling this build as my second build of the league and your videos have been extremely helpful. Thank you!

Great video, and love this build. Gear progression vids sound amazing for me, because I don’t really have a lot if time to play, and when I do have time, i want to kill monsters. Great work. Thanks.

Love the progression guide please keep going. Also thanks to you and Ruetoo for the best league starter in long time on cheap gear.

Legend, cheers Ventrua. I for one have been loving the build, just working through T14/T15 so not super endgame but having lots of fun. The step-by-step is a great idea, every time I make a build it's a learning experience about how the game works and I probably missed stuff as I went through. I felt like the 150% crit on undamaged mobs was really helpful for clear too. Would LOVE a necrocrafting guide. not just for a pointy stick but also for a FireDamage/+Life shield!

Been enjoying watching the streams lately. Really nice take on that CoC

Thanks for this. Super helpful. Also looking forward to the swap to yoke video.

Hey mate, awesome guide and great video. I like the progression videos and farming videos.

Been a pretty good league start with the build. I don’t have as much time to play anymore as I used to, but having a good time still. I enjoyed this guide as I’m basically right where you are at this point so now I know where to go with it.

Thank you so much for this also can't wait for the specter video❤

Great video and fantastic build, I league started it and forgot to do any upgrades from like act 7 through yellow maps and it slapped. Only mildly hard part was getting the gems and I just farmed heist early to get the 50c or so needed. One of my best leaguestarts ever. Only challenge has been ailment immunity so thanks for the extinguish on hit tip, didn't know about that. I think gear progression videos would be awesome and super helpful, especially for breakpoints on when/what gear is needed to do various endgame things like t17s, ubers, etc.

Thanks for the update, i had no idea flasks share the cooldown of flask gain on crit.

Thanks Ventrua for the update. Yes, I like the step by step updates. I'm still working on mine and I really appreciate the updates.

thank you for follow up, having lots of fun with build

So happy that you made this video, liked, subscribeed!

POG! And here waiting for the spectre list...even though Im only doing t8 maps xD And as far as the end question, I dont mind either way, but it IS nice to see a "step by step" especially for mere "moral" people :P

I love your playstyle and your builds. Had my best leaguestart ever. Thank you very much. Please keep it up 🙏

Yeah, this format is really nice. Thanks man!

If you are in SSF, I recommand trying to setup incandescent heart + divine flesh. You can craft an ok shield with the necropolis. T17s are much more farmable with this setup, then you can farm yoke Great video thks for the update :D

Thanks so much man great guides and thanks for your patience lol.

genuinely one of the strongest and by far the most un build I've ever played. also this guide is insanely good. love man

Thanks for the video, that was really helpful. I leaguestarted with this build. The transition to CoC DD was a bit rough but when everything was in place it was super smooth

Thanks for your work Ventrua!

appreciate the progression!

Format was helpful thanks.

Thanks for the gear progression method, helps me a lot. :)

Keep the progression, it's really cool! Also would love to see you do super endgame stuff t17s and ubers.

Another great recap!

Great vid and format! enjoy the progression. Could you perhaps talk a little about the new specter setup with t17 monsters?

Couple of questions from noob: 1. Is Carnage Heart a better amulet than rare amulet with life/reses and crit multi? 2. In previous POB when we see tree ( on level 9X ) and this Critical Mastery - the one you chose ( or Ruetoo ) is different ( 50% of effect... you inflict with critical strikes ) so which one is better at the final? 3. What exactly does arcanist brand linked with second desecrate? Probably in the future it would be better to wrote in notes how to get higher trigger rate and probably wolud be better for the average players wrote that after gem setup in notes we need to change this ( Vitality for Precision, Arcanist Brand etc...) close to 90 level. Thx for all the work, looking forward to gear progression.

Loving the build so far

Very good idea to go step by step !

Thanks for the gear progression!

The crafting tips are very helpful thanks

Helped a lot, thanks

Step by step progression is perfect!

Hello Ventrua, good content here. Pretty happy with the build so far. I'm eager to see t17 with the build since I didn't manage to complete one

Yoooo it’s been a great league start for me on this build.

thanks for answering the chill question especially since you seem to get the same questions a lot 😅

really like the progression format

Another PoB gotcha for a new player was setting the Count on DD to 5. Was pulling my hair out wondering why DPS with crater as soon as I imported my gear and skills when what I had was close to equivalent. Turns out it was this.

Thank you ive been loving the build but i suck at game knowledge and been struggling with things like working out effective trigger rate

The gear progression idea is a great one :) more fun for you too, tbh

Gave me a smooth league start, black morigan is also nice to pair with the beast dupe scarab so you can 6 link and triple split a base, sold one crafting byproduct for 10d

I'm having such a blast with this build, one of the most fun mappers I've played

Thanks for the Video! One thing I'd like to know is how you set up your PoB to show your full DPS like shown in the video - it would make upgrading my build a bit easier!

Love the idea, progression of build is ideal.

Thanks a lot @Ventrua. I would love to see the stats we have to aim for to defeat ubers. Also i saw some MF Versions of the Build on PoE Ninja. Would love to know more abkut the a MF Version of the Build

I love your build and I played one in this league. but I have a question: why is Polaric Devastation Opal Ring necessary? I saw it almost equal to Gifts from Above ring.

I was feeling the extinguish, I ran out of currency early on and it was left on my gloves. that 15% does hella work

Thank you for the video, what farming strat would you recommend with this build? I know it can run pretty much anything but in what strat does it shine?

Great vid thnx. I league started this and it's been great. Currently 6m dps. 100% crit chance without brittle ground, just a lot of str and generic crit (hight cost opportunity in comparison). How reliable is brittle ground while bossing?

I like your approach on the video series + it'll net you more views for your channel w/ the popularity the build. Ty Ventura, Widetime MEOW MEOW😸🐱

Love the video, I'm struggling to understand how are you generating charges? I assume Endurange is from Enduring cry but what about power and frenzy?

I was literally like, well i cant afford the 10 div upgrade for the polaric ring but what can i use my 2 div's for so i can clear read maps, this video answered, i need correct amulet anoint and swap my shield for one that has free 50%+ fire damage and crit multi. i bet ill stomp red maps now. Great video!

Would love to understand a little more about the defensive layers. I feel kinda weak early, not 100% sure why but would love to hear your thoughts and what the step by step after the conversion where the main changes are

would love to see a list of items sorted by priority to get first , because personally I can understand DPS increases per item but some items have other effects which increase other stats which I cant inherently see at first .

DD make me find out about you, now clicking your video's instantly when i see them!

Thoughts on how to scale damage, other than reaching next cooldown recovery step. In SSF we don’t have access to awakened coc, so we’re kinda stuck after reaching the max trigger cap.

Nice, just looking for some good upgrades

Damn i didnt know about the internal cooldown of charge on crit flasks. I have them all rolled for t1

What do you have on your atlas to increase the number of corpses you are getting? Thanks for the guide loving the build so far

I have about 40 divs and I dont know if I'll be able stay sane farming legions with ele hit deadeye for long enough to buy headhunter. Would you suggest this build or hexblast if I wanted to do T17s and ubers on my 2nd character? If I have to farm more money that's fine.

loving this build. Would the energy shield mastery " 30% of Chaos Damage taken does not bypass Energy Shield" work instead of the 10% phys reduction on full life? If I am having trouble with chaos resists, would the latter be better for me?

Very good

I found I could transition into the CoC swap much sooner than the guide says. For example, you don’t need the quality gem stuff. It might be good to update that part of the guide to reflect the absolutely necessary stuff so people can swap sooner because the swap is infinitely better than the previous skill set.

Hey Vent, do you have the recipe/corpses you used for the foil? Trying to use craftofexile but the best outcome is still an annul attempt to remove a suffix for Hits Can't Be Evaded craft

Died so much running this build running through the acts but once my first Div dropped in white maps, I managed to get a few solid upgrades and now ripping through reds with a multi div build. Just got my 3rd void stone tonight

Would it be possible to get a break down of the end game versions (Dan/Rue combo) crafting if you go that route? The shield in that looks like pure pain to craft, and i've yet figure out a good way to make it through the emulator.

Been playing this build since leaguestart, i couldn't be happier with it, i reached t16 on such a low budget, now i am saving money for a yoke. Best build i've ever played

Rly like the build so far....just one question, how can I improve my single target damage? Clear is nice but the build kinda lacks in single target.....is there an easy and cheap way to improve it (also fine with gem swaps for harder bosses). Thank you.

With hits can’t be evaded does that allow you to drop accuracy from the build? And the brittle implicit on boots is that eater or exarch and can I get it with lesser or do I need higher?

Great video! Thanks! I have a stupid question though: why I don't always crit? I mean I'm just lvl 70 and my skill gem lvl are not that high, that might be the issue. My sword has 7.56% chance to crit

Just spent an hour trying to figure out why when I import my "skills" tab it showed incredibly low dps, you have to increase the detonate dead of chain reaction count to 6 while also setting up lancing steel of spraying on the left column to "All projectiles hit"

do you think its worth using a hh/mb for more juiced maps (with awakened coc so you reach first trigger breakpoint) or go with a rare belt?

Any tips on how to make the cluster jewels? They are crazy expensive and none of the notables have targetable tags

Can you do a vid on explaining the yoke swap in/three dragon swap out, im at lvl 94 and am using 1 large cluster atm

Is it better to use evasion+energy shield on gloves and boots? Currently running hydro/dragonscale

the "10 projectile hit" stat in lancing steel of spraying calc doesnt exist in my pob like it does in urs. how can i add that? without it my trigger rate is at 1.4 :S

Another question (not specific to the video), for the gloves is there a reason you go for Armor/Evasion hybrid? Spell Suppression is much more easy to acquire on a pure evasion base. Gloves also have very low value in the defense rating value. I can't see any reason to go for AR/ES, but maybe I am missing something.

What’s your opinion on torrents reclamation? I have the only one on ps5 at the moment, have 6% strength on implicit, so it’s not as much as a heavy belt but I THINK the attack speed, recovery, action speed and the cool down recovery make up for it, opinion?

my issue with PoB is even though I have a "hits can't be evaded" weapon, it still calculates as if I have ~42% accuracy in the calcs tab which lowers my dmg/crit chance by a lot and I don't know how to fix this :(

how do you define in pob what spectres you have, so it can properly calculate dps?

how do you go about getting the clusters for this? do you craft them yourself? if so how because each one being 25-30d seems a little steep

I have problems obtaining hits cannot be evaded veil... I've killed nummerous times vagan, but no luck. Is there easyer way to target it?

Any thoughts on trying to fit phasing into the build?

I took Careful Conservationist in the tree with a 25% flask charge on crit mastery, I like having flasks up more often in all scenarios. I also rolled them all for charge on crit, and enchanted them all for use when full. I guess I played too much PF to give up on flasks... xD

what are the pros and cons between this and your hexblast build?

Does anybody have tips for survivability? I have 30k eff hp with flasks etc on, while he has 70k. Cant link pob in youtube unfortunately

It's definitely more useful to have a build progression, thank you for it. If people are complaining, which I think would be a very small minority, then you could make an endgame video but also make the progression ones as those would help out the most people

Chiming in to say the gear progression really helps(:

Some necropolis crafting for this build would be cool

Hello.. im having a big issue with crit chance.. i dont know what i am doing wrong :/

HI. Good video. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but it seems I am not 100% crit chance. . my gear is not great but not bad. Any info will help. I also feel a little squish. Sorry but I am not loong time player. Still have to learn quite a bit
