You should post your atlas starting tree as well, would be nice to see. Otherwise, great build guide. Easily the best ruthless guide. To bad not many people make them, would really enjoy seeing what people are cooking for the new guardian.
Early atlas strat is go through niko chance node, then take small right kirac nodes and path round to the big 2% one (don't take the scout report stuff). Then go through big alva node and block all mechanics but heist
Thank you for the good content! I am a very fresh PoE player and found myself enjoying Ruthless more than the regular mode. Unfortunately there aren't many buildguides out there for Ruthless and I would be totally lost without comprehensible guidance like yours.
Thank you for this. Really appretiate you creating this guide. Will definently use it this league! One question. Would you make any changes to this guide for Hardcore vs Softcore?
I'll probably put a progress update in a few days. Currently on a 1.3k shield, got pride running, feel nearly unkillable in white maps. Pushing into yellows, will start heisting soon for replica dreamfeather
i don't get how do u play this, do you spam shield crush or chain hook?? or what's the loop, srry i'm new and i want to try Ruthless with a character using a shield lol
@@ericcossette3999 weak mobs should typically get stunned, if they aren't your dps is questionable. If you find getting rage off blue mobs unreliable just keep the 50 rage and use berserk as a 'fuck you'/'oh shit' button
just found out about ruthless, do you think it is possible to complete the league content in this mode? i mean the new arena thing, not the uber version. how was sanctum in ruthless? were you able to finish it?
Definitely possible. Ancestor league will probably be more engaging in ruthless because you'll have to use the mechanic to its best potential to get through it, you can't just plan around teleporting at the speed of light and doing 5 billion dps. Sanctum was harder in ruthless but rewarding since the special relics gave a significant power boost.
There aren't any complicated mechanics so your dps is going to come down to your shield base and what you've taken on tree. I did the whole campaign on a 1 link so the damage is always there so long as you're killing stuff as you go and getting shield upgrades every few acts
@@AllocatesBeef It just falls off too hard for DPS if you ever played anything else this feels awful. I found a guide that leveled with spectral shield throw, so i switched and doubled my dps. There is little to no damage gained from the tree so its shield and gems for the start and it really shows. If you ever played a build in long gone leagues where you finish camping in 6 hours just by playing, it feels awful as I'm sitting at 8h in act 6 now.
@@DerFreiegedanke the rank 1 jugg in sc trade ruthless is following this build. Many others have levelled with it fine, as have I. Are you even playing ruthless yourself? It's basically impossible to do campaign in 6h here. Also you can't just swap to another main skill unless you're spending an uncarved gemstone, and if you were following this guide you would have already spent the two you have by act 6. What's your character name and which ruthless league are you in?
thanks for detailed guide..I will start my first ruthless build today when league starts with your build!

Build is built for dying as little as possible so no changes for hc really, maybe take alira for the early res
Look at this bait build. Why, I bet you are hiding a Mageblood and 7 Mirrors in there somewhere. /s
Having fun so far, curious how you're doing post updates and progress :D Just dropped a behead, will have to use this in the meantime

Can this ruthless build become viable for trial of the ancestors league nonruthless?
lvl 38 now and just got berserk. How does this build generate rage? Im confused about this thank you.
Warlord's mark on normal/magic enemies gives 20 rage when you stun them
sweet and do i stun naturally stun them?@@AllocatesBeef

the famous "fuck you/oh shit" button, haha love it
@@AllocatesBeef
Is the same tree viable also for SC new league or there is something to change?

Just depends on how much time you are willing to put in. Everything takes a little longer in Ruthless, and by a little I mean a lot

I had a nice BS JUGG last league, this one looks great for this league
Likely my league start 🤔
Whne does this build makes fun? i'm in act 6 lvl 48 and the damage is fucking awful.
