Congrats bud again, you really made a terrific char!
Too bad poe.ninja doesn't show PoB dps... not to take that away from Cori, but for example my char has higher poison dps (by not even 1%, so doesn't matter really) and higher combined dps (by 1,5 million).
Cori has more life (+1k) and I have more ES with Soul Tether belt (1,7k ES). Same armour and phys reduction. I do have more block/dodge combined.

I'm missing two passive points at the moment as well, that would fit another medium cluster instead of a small (so another 10% faster poison or whatever you would want to fit).


He has 14+ mill and you are 11+ from what i've seen in PoBs, if i've haven't skipped something.
He also got Culling Strike on HoA which is 10% more effectively and Malevolance faster poisons that's not calculated.
But nevertheless i like your way of doing things also since i'm a big fan of Soul Tether.

I feel the build/guide is fine as it is.
You could only add more end-game options, like the Soul Tether variant or expensive crafts/items like reduced malevolence mana rservation on amulet, that let's you use precision as well.


The problem is when using Soul Tether you most likely want Timeless jewel like you did, but that puts too many mods which would bring a lot of confusion.
I gave the base. Players like you will always mod something in their own way without need for me to explain.

I'm experimenting atm with different setups for ranged skill to bring them up in damage.
Will test your suggestions. :) tnx!

I disagree with HoA Culling strike being 10% more. Its attack speed is quite slow and there was a few boss fights (mostly conqs) that died before he could cull them. I cut Culling Strike for a few Precision levels instead as CS adds a mana reservation multiplier. My gear does not have a lot of accuracy so Precision gave me more dps in pob.

My PoB is over 15m IIRC with 15 wither stacks. 34m with VS. I have no idea if its configured prooerly however. You can load up my character if you want and call me out ;) I feel like anything over 10M is gravy.

Oh, I don't have a Watcher's Eye either.

No need for mule.
Caustic Arrow will do the job fine just level the gems along the way.


Since I am already testing league-starts since I am done with this league this is what I came up with in 10 runs:

Fastest way so far was a shadow mule for flask + onlaught + cobra lash gem, Start with Cobra Lash + lesser Poison + onslaught, Level Viper strike along side, merveil is the toughest Opponent but she was allright on Viper strike + added Cold + lesser Poison.

In A2 I swapped as soon as possible to Viper strike + melee Splash + melee phys dmg, once 4 links are available deadly ailments Comes in while lesser Poison can be replaced. For Auras I went with HoA, HoP and HoT, then I basically started to faceroll and once Plague Bearer kicked in I started to be quite fast, even before first lab.

But I will be testing some more Setups. Maybe we get a better start goin :-)

Triple herald isn't a bad idea. I might try that.

The fact that the bis claws are so easy to craft makes me wonder if I should league start this again next time. I tried five other builds and they all got stuck into red maps without significant investments.


Its a really strong build, but I dont know if I can play the same thing 2 leagues in a row. I feel the same way, though.

I may play Scourge Arrow next league just for the sole fact I dunno if I could run it back since I spent so much time in this league.

People usually set the enemy is "shaper/guardian", because DPS vs. trash is high enough anyway. That halves the DPS.

Well, why not? Depending on the mods it's a pretty significant DPS boost.

Tnx for the effort! Keep us posted :)

Mines on Sirus. Its almost the same. No Watcher's Eye because I did not have enough currency and when I did, I decided to try 4-5 other builds. One was Thornstein's Death Angel.

Playing this build from the start of the league. I agree the build is fun and can do every content but it's very hard to play and not to die... ATM can't solve problems with bosses like sirus or elder guardians(they are one shoting me every time). May be something with my gear or P.tree... or it's just my hands and no experience in game(second league)
But yeah build is fun and looks strong)

Your gear isn't bad, but it isn't spectacular either. No Chaos DoT Multi on weapons, no Accuracy on Ring, Helm is super basic, no chaos resistance exept for the Circle of Nostalgia, no good corruptions, Gems not max level etc.
You can't expect a melee build to destroy the entire endgame with that low investment. Well exept maybe a Cycloner...

The build isn't super easy to play, but it isn't exactly hard either. Get some better gear and more levels, you will start to die less.

One thing you can change immediately is the boot enchant. Pathfinder is immune to chill anyway, no need for that mod, so replace it with Movespeed/Chance to get onslaught on kill. Should be a decent DPS increase while mapping at least.

Edit: Also look for a new abyss jewel. This thing really has to have some life on it.
