I absolutely love hovering over your videos since it always has subtitles on. "Hi this is Scissoring and welcome to PeeWee University." Gets me everytime

The single biggest issue with making builds is just not knowing every single affix and unique from the top of your head, in addition to knowing the passive skill tree so well you can dream about it. When you know all of this info, seeing the description of a unique is enough to know if it's good or not because you know what other affixes or passive tree points are good synergy. Like I often try making builds and then ask someone for tips on how to improve it, and they just straight up tell me ''this unique will double your damage'' or ''this passive will quadruple your health'' and I didn't even know it existed.

After didnt participate in the last 4 season, its so good Zizaran's content is still there explaining the stuff I do not know or forgot. Shared with all of my returning friends. Big thumbs up.

I always understand these videos in theory. I follow guides and can get through the campaign and start mapping with the initial gear set I’ve put together. But inevitably I cap out and need to upgrade my gear and upgrades in PoE very rarely drop, they’re made. And that’s where the wheels fall off the wagon for me. It always feels like Jenga where pulling off one piece of gear takes away key resistances or other stats that need to be replaced. And as it can only rarely be done in a 1:1 slot item swap, it leads to the entire gear tower to come crashing down around me as I start juggling different pieces.

Godspeed to aspiring build creators!

ziz thank you help me so much over the past few years. you helped me understand poe so much more and I really want to thank you. As of right now the issue I have with making my own builds is just game knowledge, I don't know a lot of the uniques and some interactions with support gems. I do have issues with crafting but all that can be fixed over time for the most part. I am at the point I can modify builds to what I want pretty easily.

is your build melee? 1)no -> you are probably good 2)yes -> is your build bonezone?

Yeah, i swapped to SSF after Harvest, been playing since Fall of Oriath. I definately fell into the "How much is this particular activity worth per hour" trap. SSF has been a hidden blessing on so many levels for me. Can only recommend it to others who feel like theyre playing for Divines instead of fun.

Making your own build is definitely in the PoE Uni Graduate program and you'll need at least a 4+ GPA to take the class lmao

You have an amazing point that I wish most people followed. People min max the fun out of everything. You can't do anything without it being "efficient" when the whole point of me playing a game is to relax and have fun.

Nice videos. Really needed these days because ARPGs have a great year so far and lots of people might try PoE now in addition to D4 und LE

I havent played in 5 years since bestiary and I've been thinking of coming back so these videos are perfect

Perfect timing. I needed this video. Just hit Act 10 and was really wondering if I was heading in the right direction with my build. Also shout out to mrllamasc for helping me find you. I saw yall testing D4 together and was like hey who's this guy. And now that I've started PoE your my go to Content creator.

I literally theory craft/plan out a build, level on the side of the tree taking as much damage as possible and little to no life through the acts, and once I hit maps I start gearing and respecing my tree. Every time. Tried and true. This is a GREAT way to test different skill that coincide with that character class/part of the tree as well.

The part with the explanation of PoB calculations and "false positives" is super helpful for new-ish players trying to plan builds... you can easily fall into the trap of "paper DPS" and then get massively disappointed when you take it into the actual game.

I might have a go next season at making my own build. One of the first characters I ever played was a quarterstaff battlemage inquisitor but it suuucked. So went onto following build guides, might revisit as it was fun before it sucked.

The caption said:"hi, scisoring here" lol

to expand on phys>elemental for newer players, raising up your max elemental resistance makes this mod even stronger.

I always learn a new thing from these videos. Before the last one I thought you only needed to have the map connected to drop an uncompleted map. I didn´t know it had to be of 1 tier below. Thanks so much for all these videos. Also, any content creator or build recommended to try out flicker strike or ice shot?

It would be soo good if poe had a free respec atleast untill you start mapping.

I liked this video, but it felt like part 1 of 4

thank you :-)

"i had a build one time that i literally couldn't map, it would take 5 to 10 minutes to clear a map [...]" bro that's like my every build every league and they're not bossers 💀

This ame is unforgiven. If your build is bad then you hit a brick wall and cannot progress anymore. RIP. Need to start all over again.

I'd love to see you make a new build from the very start to the very end on PoB. Preferably with an underused skill.

I've got 3000 hours and I know the basics of what goes into a build, so I was hoping this would be more instructional than explanatory.

build? you mean copy pasta?

Im doing an ice witch, hopefully if im weak ill be able to freeze everything anyway

I think the worst mistake I make even after 600 hours [which I barely feel like I'm phasing out of newbie with knowledge] is to not just try to make a build "on the fly" with PoB open. More frustration than just sitting down proper and pre-building. Thank you for this video Ziz! ♡

28:22 "look how little life i have".. every softcore trade player felt that deeply

What might be a replacement for the eternal damnation amulet?

Im going I blind I'm a d4 refugee but definitely doing it on my own and figuring this huge game out is so much fun . Little videos like this don't even scratch the service this game is crazy big I can't belive it

What I do, is find a league-starter build, get to the endgame, and then get bored and stop playing PoE for half a year. :-D

Is the %phys taken as ele stat also valuable for builds with a high amount of armor (eg boneshatter jugg)?

I'm thinking of doing a gladiator double strike w/ bleed for the bleed explosions, but im wondering if making the bleed part even worth scaling into in terms of damage(ive been staring at crimson dance), or should i keep bleed as something only to procc debuffs, and ofcourse bleedsplosions.

I pick duelist and then go the ranger route with split arrow and then all of a sudden pick up blast rain with an ascendacy of a gladiator. God i love how this game kicks my ass

Ive tried for 5 seasons and none of my own builds could get past white maps. One problem is i always try melee

Video on bow builds like toxic rain and pob update

i have that skeleton build still on standard. i killed my first shaper with it 😂

the hard part of builds for me is knowing all the items you could work with to really get to a nice one.

Just wondering if you have ever tried a build that features thread of hope jewels to be able to stack passive skills without mapping to them, or branching off of passive skills that you've grabbed using the jewel. I think it could make for some wild builds with a little creativity.

Fastest way to make the best build. Step 1: Go to (insert streamer here) video - league start - copy pasta POB Step 2: Change one node on the tree Step 3: Publish build as your own Step 4: Profit

Hey your old video about BS Slayer still works for 3.21?

I just searched up how to do this, went on the old engineering eternity guide from 6 years ago, looked in my notification box, and sure enough at the very top was this video.

He Ziz i have a question, to you update your explosiv arrow build for the new league? i really love the build but i wondering if i have to change same things. Also a version for sc would be nice :D with high damage.

There is a higher chance that I will become millionaire selling ice to the eskimos, than making a working PoE build myself :D

New player here I was always told that similar to how you said armor % is not correct elemental res is not "honest" as well. Like that's the reason why +1 or w/e max res is so important, and that's why capping res is important, as if the 75% fire res will reduce more than just 5% compared to 70% fire res ( or any other ele res) Is this true or maybe outdated info?

I'll repeat again here if anyone is doing explosive arrow. Don't calculate it. Go drop ONE totem and count. Try various situations... eg: from a standstill, from half screen, against a slippery opponent. If you play it with pandemonium effect MTX it's really easy to see the difference (when actually playing with full set of totems) When you get it lined up on a stationary opponent you get a really juicy explosion, declaring that 20 is possible with your setup. And that's what your calculation would tell you. But then you try it on small, fast, teleporting, etc and de facto it's really hard to actually get the juicy explosion which declares 20. The exact breakpoints aren't likely to be very important unless you're running a particular boss that you can fight from a standstill. Getting each extra volley is super important, but there's enough stuff screwing up the situation that your calculated number isn't likely to be good enough in actual play. If you're fighting something strong and dangerous for your power level, slap on some extra skill effect duration to try to guarantee 20 fuses. And hence, I suggest just counting. Too bad there's no training dummy.

SOOOO I should blindly roll Spec Helix CoC dagger Sabo on SSF leaguestart or no? Video unclear 😢

Well now I’m interested, what was the one bad build? Edit: 2:34 I see…

Can you make a Vaal lightning arrow map blaster build ? i rly want to play that but im not expirienced enought to do a build on my own

EA ballista Champion with perma adrenaline will work?

wait whats the one bad build ziz published? lol im curious

i think for PoE 2 they really need to address that not everyone wants to copy/follow a build and new players or people trying to explore the elements of their games shouldnt be punished by not being able to easily respec

Great vid

2:49 It has been 7 years

I want to make an ignite build but I don't wanna make an explosive arrow ballista build because it isn't my fantasy. What about fireball, blast rain or scorching ray? Why am I so much worse off with these builds and can hardly reach endgame, if at all? That isn't fun, even though the skills themselves are fun.

I have a Spark Trickster build that I POB'd middle of Sanctum with what I call basic bitch gear. Isn't a "starter" by any means. But it's one that I plan on playing at the start/using for most things. There's a bit... Guess you could say "hard" things to get. Which are influenced curse on hit rings. For Ele Weakness and Conduct. But those are obvs for way later/upgrades. I'm thinking it'll have like 1-2.5mil dps early on. With it getting to only 7mil later. Which is fine for me cause I don't care to do Uber fights. And to ME, it looks like a good build but... Idk I'm always unsure about builds that I make for myself. Sanctum I took inspo from your Champ CB build & Grimro's build of it. And basically combined the two & made changes myself. Which.. I was really happy about because I "made" the build. Min-maxed it & so on. But like I said, always unsure about the builds I myself make 🤣 I understand a lot of the fundamentals to make one.

Frost blades trickster is your answer to one button super dps super fast clear speed. And pretty tanky. I can stand still other then the one phase in the eater of worlds fight. I can tank his lightning bolt and all attacks he has. And his one mechanic is easy to deal with and can tank the beam and all.

0:44 ooh boy I remember that EA deadeye on 3.9. that was actually my first league start ever and o took that build. LMAO

So are Totems minions?

How do i make a good build for any game i play? i copy other good builds out there saves me the headache.

I have 1500 ~~ hours in poe, still need to watch PoE uni to understand more and more things, but even when i understand something, applying it myself is way harder to "understand" the thing So yeah POE is a hard game and don't expect to understand everything after 1000hours

Why would I plan a build around Zizaran when he dies more than Quin69 🤭

update build Detonate dead Necr pls! Thank alot

RFespec options ain't bad, having free respecs all the time leads to a no sum game where you decisions do not matter. It is true in D3, it will be tru8ie in D4. Note that I would not be op[posed to a free respec once story is done that you can use whenever. Regrets arfe still a viable option tyho and they do drtop quite often.

build?

I will make 3 builds. And 3 will be ignite EA ballista 😂😂

2m-5m No way. That's like the tax to enter Pinnacle, for Ubers I would say 9-15m. With good uptime too.

I think exploring myself is one of the most fun aspects of rpgs so thats why I prefer doing that even tho I might come out at the bottom later.

Builds are honestly not to difficult to build the problem is there are so many skills that are just so underpowered compared to a lot of the meta skills only knowledgeable players with many hours in the game can make these weaker skills work decently

1. Get off reddit 2. Pull up POB 3. Do maff 4. Test your build ingame 5. repeat until build is gud

GGG is min-maxing the fun out of the game.

Great prima aprilis content! I nearly fall for that

I definitely think, after hearing the question about being unable to understand the lesson, that you should grade each lesson by complexity. Maybe have a 1-4th year grading for each lesson

Path of excel

Thanks, but PoE is still overflow for beginners like me. I gave up and wait for D4

i hope they make poe2 so that id dosnt need a damn guide to play, i like aprg's but the fact that i have to follow a guide in order to even finish the story.

Tbh i love the idea of vid. But yeah april fools

Copying builds from streamers POB is like programmers copying from stack overflow

not falling for it

Thank you scissoring for another great PeeWee video

I am to stupid for this. I just copie Mathils builds.

Although I was impressed with how many changes they can put out every league. Time and again we are proven that to much of anything is bad. As it was really taking many hours of experience away at very rapid pace. If I had my own game, I'd build in funky quest that would make players decide what changes be made to the game, in semi RP way of course.

First!

Audio and video is out of sync

I think if a game needs to rely on an external tool to ensure your gaming experience, then the game is definitely too hard, or to say too complicated. It shouldn't be like this. Pls do share your opinion to me, because I'm wondering if anyone got the same feeling.

That is the neat part, you don't.

I look forward to the day where AI is integrated with games and it can study and learn and generate builds for you by theory crafting and considering item costs, drop rates etc. I can already see it now. AI generated builds.

get as close as to 200% life from the passive tree, spend the rest on damage! joking aside this video is far too unfocused and rambling and takes too long to get to the point, terribly lazy.

How to make a build: step 1. steal build off poe ninja step 2. there is no second step Saved you guys 35minutes, no need to thank me

No "man", i don't ask much. I just ask for my cyclone to be back. 1 button, cheap to start(really easy to map, bosskill etc), insane scaling. can literally do any content in the game

My man, get a real mic. The constant crackling is HORRIBLE.

First!
