Starforge Trees

These trees are just guidelines, and you can adjust them to your liking.

Also, if you are playing Hardcore, I would highly suggest you use fortify and take the Rampart cluster above Crimson Dance.

Need some input here as I'm not sure what's best. So I have my gear in order for most part, only thing left is steel rings and new gloves, question is what curse/aura setup to use. I will never afford and probably never get a +1 curse daresso's salute, so should I either a.) Use 1 steel ring + 1 doedre's, or b.) 2 steel rings + vuln and grace. I can't quite decide which myself.

if you can cap resists with a doedres then that's the way to go i think. the extra damage from running with dual offensive curses is a ton more than the damage from a ring. vulnerability and punishment both add about 150kish dps each for me on POB, whereas a mirror worthy ring only adds about 40k. or you can choose to run with one offensive aura and enfeeble which is a lot more defense than the life on a different ring

you could also run a carnage heart or nice rare with +1 curse. then you can run two good steel rings. that will be higher damage overall but you lose out on the movement speed on full life and extra area on cyclone. up to you which you decide to go with

I'm sure this has been asked or discussed before so I apologize if so...

160%ish inc life from tree seems a tad low for melee, even for a Slayer/leechy build. Is it because you can still pretty easily get >7k with Kaom's? I've never used a Koam's Heart before so I might just not appreciate all that raw life it has. I guess it wouldn't be tough to cut a few points for extra life in some places if preferred. Though many of the testimonies here have no issues with survivability it seems!

Good guide, might be trying this soon. I enjoyed Ngamahu Cyclone in Harb league but haven't done pure phys.

How much of our damage comes from the retch? I worked my way up to a headhunter this league and would like to use it with the build. Is it fine to use HH for mapping and retch for bossing?

Hi guys,

@Ahfack - thanks for the new trees for starforge. I actually came across another tree for swords and would like everyone to view and comment on it.

This variant does not use crimson dance nor iron reflexes, nor blade of cunning or bloodletting. He also goes around the bottom and not up in the middle section (next to Master of the Arena, upwards to Beserking). Does this variant not provide a slightly more efficient layout for HP but also resistance?

You'll also notice cloth and chain is taken for the armor/evasion and total res. The build uses a QOTF as armor, but also daresso's, starforge etc etc so its a mixture of armor and evasion but looks like more evasion.

I currently assigned crimson dance and iron reflexes and sitting on lvl 84 with 4.8k life and about 6k armor. Somehow I still feel like a marshmallow.

I'm reaching out to everyone who is more knowledgeable on how this build and the mechanics work just to give me their 2c's to see if it potentially would not be better to potentially respec, and if so, why and if not, why not etc.


thank you!
