ended up being a bit long lol, sorry! next up is Breakpoints, Divine Blessing and some other things. Let me know if you have anything you want me to cover :)
Hello.... your videos are really great. For someone who wants to make his first armor stacker , what would you advice ? Scion or chieftain ?(I played poe since 3.20)
It is ok)we need more information to understand all this stuff about armour-stucker:) I am building a character by this information) farming every day by my main and develop my scion to all acts:))) Thank to you I really can do it) this is a looooot of currency, but) I already know how to earn over 100 div for 12 hours, so I can take it. Again, your explanation is great, thank you for you job!
Planning on becoming an armour stacker for life. These videos are amazing. I would love to see a video explaining how to start and go on with an armour stacker the whole league.
Another helm that can get phys taken as is the temple mods from temole of Atzoatle. Bonus is they come with some resistance and you can use harvest bench to swap the resistance and what element the phys gets converted to
Nice one, started my first armor stacker yesterday, blasting wildwood t16's today feels good, scion with mb and a budget perfect form. Liking a conductivity on hit ring and awakened lightning pen for exposure. Bleeds and genereraly degens are a bit of a pain, dropped down to a level 20 gem for vaal discipline, helps me a lot anyway.
I have been watching these videos, but not sure I can afford it. You mentioned budget, what is that? How much did you roughly spend and could you share a PoB?
I got to 1.4m armor last league on jugg using the formless flame on a 30ish div budget. A majority of the cost was a fortify corrupt dreamfeather and the rest of the gear was easily crafted with evasion bases and cheap grace/determination synth bases for the rings. Did level 30 simulacrums with 2.1k health 😂.
Im not alone in loving these videos. They came right in time i came back recently and havent played since delirium. I was wanting to make an aurastacker to relive the fun i had in that league. Really great timing 😅. Im making mine in standard though.
Hello, just wondering if you have tried splitting steel as a skill ? i've reached 99 on scion it with maybe a 1 mirror budget. i don't use pob but seems like damage is really good. running aegis version with orignial sin with a budget cold uncapped armor only. basically phase all ubers
Hey thanks for the great content regarding to armour stacking.. I really have to start the project. One question: Why are you getting this super expensive "phys damage taken as..."-Mod, since we are stacking armour and our physical damage reduction is at 90% anyway?
Awesome guide! I have 1 mirror + 600 divine currently and I own my own mageblood. I'd like to build the chieftain variance, do you think that 5 point voices will be enough? or do I drop original sin?
I'm thinking of doing armor stacking, but not using Smite and Wrath despite the advantages, and going pure phys with Impale, Lancing Steel of Spraying as a Berserker. I hope to really push Impale, and even using a few Spectres (Perfect Dancing Swords), who will hopefully be talky enough thanks to auras from the armorstacker build as well to not die despite zero investment in minion survivability, so that way i can reach 14 Impale hit (15 if Champion.) 5 base Impale +2 Watcher's Eye + 3 Charms from wildwood +3 or 4 possible from Spectre count depending on gem level = 13 or 14. +1 if you are Champion
I love ur guides so far they're amazing also when u mention something being low budget how many divines are we speaking roughly? since armour stacker does not strike me as a league start build
Is it possible to do Doryani's with Mahuxotl's Machination to counter the whole dying to lightning DoTs thing? Obviously that locks you out of going CI.
Yea would be a good idea maybe. It's always been a bit too troublesome to do so I never bothered. You also lose your brutal restraint I believe which might cause dex issues and you lose aura effect.
First time playing armour stacker, and I started with Jugg for a more beginner friendly experience (entirely for the ascendancy) and I'm mostly happy with how the build turned out. The only problems I have are I somehow have like 500k less armour than the POB I'm following even though there's barely like 30 aura effect difference overall and some of my items are actually straight up better, but after I got mageblood and rolled some decent flasks etc. I can finally do all the content I want to do (mainly simulacrum and some elder+shaper guardian maps). I'm just wondering, do I ever switch over to Scion? Or Chieftain? Or do I just go with Jugg and build around it? I have like 87 or 88 all res thanks to chieftains ascendancy on forbidden flesh/flame jewels and my ele damage mitigation is good enough that I basically never die to ele damage, but my phys max hit is looking absolutely pathetic considering I'm supposed to be a armour stacker. I literally die more to phys hits more than I die to chaos hits and I don't even have capped chaos res... How the hell do I solve my phy mitigation can someone help me with it?
How important is the 14% Non-Curse Aura implicit on the eternal struggle amulet? I found one with 12% and spellblock chance. Those with 14%+ are incredible expensive.
ive been wondering for a while if its reasonable to get a evasion & armour overcap grasping mail base from identifying them or if i should simply keep farming until i can get a mirrored one, there hasnt been any new bases for days
Is Ashes of the Stars a bad option as amulet? I mean an extra level to all gems and 20+ qualities (enlightened, auras and attacks) a bad choice??? Is big for the dps boost, but a hit for tankiness. What do you think?
Hey boss running this build now( first league). How do you cast grace when in legion boots ( its 900 mana and i have 67 not reserved). Thanks in advance for any help!!
on POB, when I remove original sin from the build, the damage goes from 20M to 100k. Am I doing something wrong or is original sin required in your scion aegis version?
If you are on budget would a extra evasion with over capped cold resistance be better than armour for over capped fire resist? Since it get scaled twice by iron reflexes. Why do people all go with armour overapp for the mod
@@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr Gotcha, I have a twink marauder right now so I might just level him up as a chieftain. The video seems to be catered more towards the ascendant class though right? I dont think Chieftains use ES or run with a shield?
@@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr Gotcha, I'm following your old 3.22 Chieftian PoB for the leveling. Would you say it's still relevant or is there some other PoB I should look into? I play on HC and smite damage doesnt feel great.
Great video. Is it worth going for the transcendence build if I am only able to afford 5 passives voices? I have the grasping mail, watchers eye and mb, but i'm worried that i won't be able to get enough aura effect with the extra points needed on the voices.
i bought every budget in the build also crafted all items but I swapped voicess w cluster bc nodes not empty in cluster .. but I didn't get high armour yet .. i have 200 k armour also dmg 20k .. is there any thing wrong ? my level 81
What ways do you mitigate bleed damage apart from Ralakesh Pantheon? It seems to be whats giving me the most issues. For reference, im playing the chieftain variant.
Hey man thanks for the video , i just wanted to ask , I have a MB and 800D and im looking into making a chieftain armour stacker , i think original sin is way to expensive, should i just get a rare ring then spend the currency on the Voices and other gear or spend the money on the oringal sin? Thank you once again for the great content
You don't really need osin as it only provides damage. Voices or a good body armour give damage and many other things. I think you should first get the core parts first then get luxury items later
@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr thank you for replying man it's helps alot , I'll definitely do more research and keep looking , have a great day further man💪💪
@@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr thanks for ur reply .. i didnt see terror jewel in Giga build .. srry I'm new in this game .. terror j was in other build high budget or medium budget
Got the grasping mail overcapped fire and global Defence. No open prefix. I do have the funds to lock and annul, but thay would be all my currencies. I also have nimis. Is the cheif molten strike viable with those 2 pieces of gear? Of course aegis is cheap and so is repical dreamfeather. I have never made an armour stacker outside of kalandra league with prototype. But I love molten strike and armour stackers seems so freaking strong I just gotta make one. I will keep farming simulacrums for while with that build to build up a good amount of currencies for upgrades. Is delve better? I do have the flasks, bottled faith 10% dying sun, and perfect taste of hate. Basalt flask, jade, and silver. 3 charges on hit. Not with attack speed, nor reduced curse effect. I sold those. But I can make more.
If you don't have money now, then annul the prefix later when you do. Molten strike jug works on very little gear I think. Check out what items you would need first and get those imo
Greatly narrated and very interesting video. Im not playing league, wanna try this out in Standard.. Do you have any budget character in standard that you are willing to sell gear from? i have a lvl 100 Jugg im not using...
so if I wanted a cheaper grasping mail even on Scion I could opt for the overcapped fire res one with global defenses and it would still be ok to use overall?
Yeap. Or even just a single overcap mod works. But its better to use a cold overcap (even if it doesn't have global defense) if you are going to use aegis.
@@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr is there a point where too much conversion is bad (not above 100%) I have an aegis currently with phys taken as implicit.. and wondering if it was worth using an aegis if im not capping spell block (nowhere near) or swapping to a dawnbreaker. I am not using transcendance keystone and only one armor applies to ele charm. Wondering if the swap is worth. Since I added the grasping mail, I have pretty much not taken damage with like 21% convert.
Most endgame builds go CI. Marauder usually goes CI too on a high budget. But for starting off I guess life based is ok. You will need to get chaos res though
Hey such a great video. Can you please explain if you have milions of armour why would you want to take phys dmg as X element? Don't yoy think a million armour is enough to tank everything?
+1 level to all of them is kinda nice. but you're probably right. I like the extra resists from purity of ice/fire/elements and I got a grace/determ double corrupt@@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr
The chieftain variant right now I am playing has about 6.5 million armour. It’s pretty mini maxed. Played the same build last leauge l,had about 7.5 million armour on the top of that I had access to precise technique due to keystone tattoos. Too bad I cannot have precise tech this leauge,maybe a fix is to swap forbidden jewel for aspect of carnage and maybe get armour applies ele dmg charm on primalist.

Great series, can't wait for next ones
We hope to hear more about survivability in the build. That is, there are many moments where you die in a second. (add dorian setup)
I miss saw the awakend sextants as mirrors on the cluster and my heart plummeted for a sec. XD
These are great dude. Well structured and explained.
I'd like to see a focus on how to get to -mana cost for the grace in boots setup in the next video
Dang 540% Grace Aura Effect 😮
Just got a mirror but starting a build like this still seems daunting price-wise :D
what aboute Replica Dragonfang's Flight amu = 3+ to level of grace and 10% inc. reservation

Convert a portion of phys to elemental damage. Ideally, with the element you have the highest resistance too.
Check out part 3!
How important is the 14% Non-Curse Aura implicit on the eternal struggle amulet? I found one with 12% and spellblock chance. Those with 14%+ are incredible expensive.
You need it to hit 90% all res. If it's too pricy use jinxed juju for a few chaos
ive been wondering for a while if its reasonable to get a evasion & armour overcap grasping mail base from identifying them or if i should simply keep farming until i can get a mirrored one, there hasnt been any new bases for days
might look into picking up a evasion overcap + global defences, will have to PoB it when i get the chance
Can I start this kind of build with mageblood and like 50 divs and then sink more currency into this build?
Is Ashes of the Stars a bad option as amulet?
I mean an extra level to all gems and 20+ qualities (enlightened, auras and attacks) a bad choice???

How Long will a 100divine budget take me, is it enough to get it going ?

Hey such a great video. Can you please explain if you have milions of armour why would you want to take phys dmg as X element? Don't yoy think a million armour is enough to tank everything?
amulet, literally nonbuyable, the cheapest one is 300 div
when you have 10 auras, ashes is still really good.
But most auras quality only increases the aura radius. There's a few that don't but still I think it's one of the weaker options atm.

In that case yea, those implicits probably make it worth
wanna know what is the reason to mitigate physical damage to elemental resistance while you have millions of armour LOL
Sadly Original Sin is crazy expensive this league :(

This is impossible to play on ps5. Lol. Prices of everything is like 500% more than pc and I never have more than 10 divine any league.
Start with the chieftain version, cheaper to setup
is rise of the phoenix viable for chieftan? or is there another way that i can get 90% max res without it?
