Hey guys! I hope you are having a great start to your week! I'm curious; do you prefer fast/meta builds or the more hipster oriented creative builds? I personally tend to play a bit of both. If I am playing a slower build I start to crave a faster one and if I play a "clear speed" meta build, I end up daydreaming about the next "creative" hipster project. Now I just need one of you guys to create a super fast hipster build so we can have the best of both worlds!
Can do a boss killer that can face tank? I don’t have the best reflexes, have been playing for month and have not reached end game yet. Highest I got is to guardians..
Hey i'm definitely prefer the "hipster" non meta builds cause noone is playing it, and that is the biggest fun for me. Can u try to make video about builds with ascendancies which are not played often like Hierophant?
Elemental claw Inquisitor molten striker is what I'm playing and by far one of my favorite builds ever. I've easily cleared all content in game and carry people in the highest of maps in group play. It clears very quickly with all that attack speed and shield charge, while now taking advantage of ancestral call for molten strike. OPOP
Abyss League was the very first league I pushed a character to lvl 90 (close to 91). It was a DD Inquisitor (Pohx's Tree - Thank you for that!) but had a different skill setup. It is so fun to play, the two step playstyle is just exactly what fits my needs. Now I will try out a Deaths Oath Occultist, got all items for that and I am excited :)
Good build I tried (and map with ) is the 2 poet pen bladefall inquis from Engenering ethernity. Amazing clear speed (a little bit weak against bosses) but awesome
you could have mentioned that a lot of ppl play the ele buzzsaw builds with 2 skills now, one for clear and one singletarget. while maintaining the very high clearspeed (with spectral throw/frostblades/ and wildstrike to some extend) they use a 6l single target setup with molten strike or bladeflurry. setting it up like this makes the build feel smoother, since you don´t have to do the annoying gem swaps or fight bosses with you clearing links.
sunder gladiator, what i am playing! got the survivability, got the speed with whirling blades allowing you to get out of harms way. got the damage and got the aoe, single target is decent but it's a really good clear speed build
Engineering Eternity's golden showers should be here imho. Cheap ingame but needs a beefy computer. Also thanks for your Totem Uber Lab farmer. Was my league starter, he got me going on currency. AND i still enjoy playing the build
Playing mostly Sunder Pathfinder at AHC, with x2 venctors, Sadimas and Goldwyrm. For me its a good balance between very fast clearspeed, tankyness and MF. Flasks make it even more tanky then gladiator version is some situations, and ultra fast attack speed make it even more enjoyable ! Got my first ever mirror drop, so abyss is my fav league so far :)
Sure, I can link you a Path of Building link! pastebin.com/xccSnLTk Im using 1:1 same gear exept boots, gloves and rings. I have x2 venctors, Sadimas and Goldwyrm for MF. Playing usually t2-t10 maps. 94 lvl at AHC atm
I am currently trying to follow one of the builds you mentioned in older videos. However when I started it felt week (it was working with 'Sunder') and then I saw in the pastebin that the main damage comes from an Ancestral Warchief. Later I saw that a lot of builds are named e.g. 'Sunder' or 'Ice Crash' or whatever and do much more damage with their totem which a lot of those guides use. Is this standard now? I am personally more interested in having a guide which shows me how get the damage and survivability done with the actual spell and not always with the same totem. P.s. that was much more text than I wanted but I needed to mention this, sorry :)
I've been playing a queenliness wander on ASC and it's possibly the most satisfying build I've ever played. Clearing maps is a breeze. If someone is reading this and intends to play it, I highly recommend it, but you need to know 2 things: 1) It's pretty squishy on a budget level. Unless you spend a fair amount of currency on really good life rares, your hp won't be enough. Until then, hard hitting monsters will often kill you - eg: some abyssal monsters, uber izaro (even unbuffed). 2) The guide recommends a lycosidae. I say skip it. It's not cheap and it's not worth it. Just get some flat accuracy on your rares and you'll easily reach 90%+ hit chance. Instead of lycosidae, get a high evasion shield (eva = mov speed) with a lot more life, resistances and, if possible, you can craft elemental damage with attack skills on it. Not only is it a better option, but it also makes it easier and cheaper to fill the other rare equipment slots, like jewelry. Hope this helps!
I actually highly recommend Lycosidae if you can get one within reason. They allow you to more easily get damage without needing to sink currency into accuracy. This allows you to grind out perfect gear easier imo. Keep in mind I got my Lycosidae for roughly 5-15 chaos. I've been playing Wanders for close to 4 years now and thats just what seems best for me.
Been playing an Umbilicus Immortalis Zombie Baron Scion - 6 abnormal ones with Mon`treguls. The infinte-leech through duelist comes in handy. The Zombies have completely annihilated anything I have faced up to Chimera on a 5l while having ok-clearspeed thanks to the explosions. Can't wait to finally 6l my Sanctuary but RNGesus is still testing my resolve.
Thx for all your strong content lifting ! May i ask you for a top 5 builds for hardcore pls ? This gamemode isn’t noobfriendly but still interesting. Ty again
Last league i ran a shockwave totem hierophant with empires grasp, map clear was stupid fast, any map boss that was susceptible to knockback was cake. All said it's a great build for control dps and clear although i was coming back from a long absence and i don't think i did so good with optimization for health specifically. End goal for the build was to have a tukohama's fortress but victario's shield worked well for the charge generation. I ran a carcass jack but on review it cost me gearing options to get the dex to wear it, i would go with a health focus on armor if i did it over. To stem the low hp i tried bumping my survivability with leech so i had a doryani's catalyst and belt. I ran the shockwave in the gloves for bonus hierophant aoe and a searing bond setup in a pair of gang's momentum for the life leech granted by hierophant, i never xrafted a great helmet but i used a Geoffrey's to power my enlighten and auras. I ran a mings for chaos resist and a carnage heart for more leech i think. The passives i took saw many iterations, in my quest for physical damage i neglected the crit totem tree which i think may have been a mistake, i didn't invest in shield or weapon passives just totem stuff, resists and health, i made an effort to pick up aoe nodes in witch and templar. A variation that might be better is skipping the tukohama's and going for a crit staff and kaoms heart, ditching the totem pathing into marauder and instead investing in a cold steel jewel at the witch tree or maybe even pushing for the physical/chaos nodes at the top right hand side of the tree. I would love to know how more experienced player tackles the challenges of a 5 totem hierophant.
its bad.... "map clear was stupid fast".... you have never played any t1 map clearing build have u? anything totem related will always be slower than any t1
Any insight into how to solve the boss killing on the EK nova build? I've been loving the build in maps and it's clear speed up to t10 but the single target / sustain damage is just not there for me.
A few more for map clear builds I would suggest is: Cyclone, Spark and Dark Pact Bezerker. But yeah Wander an EK are the best IMO starting out in PoE this year. EK has gotten me further than any other build in the game and Wander can be a bit of a glass cannon unless you sacrifice some health for all that damage.
I've been playing a bleed cyclone and terminus est flicker strike, both slayers. Cyclone is such a great starter build cuz it's really inexpensive, and I feel like flicker strike is the pinnacle of clear speed, I can clear a tier 12 in 3 minutes, excluding boss where I can die once or twice.
how come build #5 doesnt have a forum build guide? :(, i wanted to make that build but i need a guide! :O How will i know what to do? Also how do u lvl for that build, do u use EK from lvl 1?
I'd love to see you showcase one of the Poet's Pen builds. I'm running a Poet's Pen Volatile Dead / Cremation / Body Swap Inquisitor (magic find variant) that is insanely fun. Getting 2 minute Shaped Siege / Waste Pool / Vault clears in right now by only hold right click and using flasks. This speed is maintained using 2x Poet's Pens (pretty cheap wands), Lightpoacher, 2x Ventor's Gamble, Bisco's Collar, Bisco's Leash, Greeds chest, Sadima's Touch, and Gold Wyrm boots to total up to 170% passive IIQ. It's ridiculous. My map return is insane and it's the most fun I've had with a build in ages. Up to 4/8 Doctor cards worth of currency and T1 drops in just a few days of mapping. The Rampage bonus from Bisco's Leash is extremely fun, especially when you have the added burst from Lightpoacher going off too. Very fast, colorful build.
I disagree. Most of the builds shown in the video need to stop to attack. With flicker, you can kill and move at same time. Also, most of those builds has less attack speed than flicker. You can easily get over 10 aps with flicker.
Joakim Jonsson ya he was using 2 inspired learning. Having played a ton of EK this league tho I can tell you it doesn't need them. I alt spammed a shaped dagger for extra phys as lightning/cold and it's like a 50% dmg increase. The stat sticks are what make it crazy strong. HH/IL are just icing on an insane cake. Also the LA/TS build can fit them in as well so could reave. If you are going full mf, the added buffs make life easier for a little investment.
and yes it is fair.... ek has to sacrifice like 10 skill pts or something to be able to fit in the 2 inspired learnings. almost ANY build CAN use them its just ppl dont since they view as the cost of using them too high for the benefit. This is why ek is so fucking strong, u dont need much to scale it up to be able to clear red t16 maps (not the bosses obviously) which is why it can invest skillpts into inspired learning to gain more clearspeed. What you are saying is that "wah, its not fair that 1 build has sacrificed hp and/or dmg for clearspeed while all the other builds could do so but choose not to since they weaker"
Oleksandr YAREMA fair enough. No what I am saying is, that lifting said he wont be showcasing any HH builds but chose to include one with 2 inspired jewels, which also can make any build kinda op.
"u dont need much to scale it up to be able to clear red t16 maps (not the bosses obviously)" im 99% sure that any remotely serious build can clear t16 trash with less then 20c investment.
just throwing this out there, you said that you weren't putting builds that used headhunters.. :p ziz has used HH on almost each one until he could not afford to buy another one.. but yes it is a pretty alright build even with out such a thing.
Haha good point. That is actually a mistake. I had gameplay of it without the HH, I must have used the wrong video, ah well - it is as you say pretty sweet even without the HH =)
Ziz was running the EK on a 3 link before it ripped the other day. Stat sticks are so op this league, you don't even need links for the EK, much less an HH lol
Ziz also was running 2 inspired learning before his HH, so it was like a discount HH anyway. EK in no way needs HH the clear speed is crazy without it, because lightpoacher is so OP.
Just started 01/12/18 with a flicker/dual striker, it's a Juggernaut dual wielding Two Hyon's Fury, the leveling was a little bit awkward at 50-62 levels but after that the exp just skyrockets. Now i'm currently level 78 looking for a 5L and my current Stats are, Life pool: 4800 / Dual S.: 30k (Buffed) / Flicker : 2,2k Avg (Buffed), all that thanks to the abyssal jewels :D
Forgot about Autobomber, Spectres and Death's Oath Boom Boom Occultist, but the latter isn't really that popular. Oh, and Alia's RF Occultist! From the guy who get to 100 in Abyss SSFHC first. That build is super creative and works very well.
haha :) I played FS Slayer too. I love it apart from the whoops moments and the running back to pick up currency after you have chained 3 or 4 packs in less than a second :)
I will chime in like many others that permanent rampage+onslaught solar guard spectres + flame golems is arguably the fastest map clear in game at this time. Also has great boss killing to boot!
"fastest map clear in game at this time"........... highly doubt it. obviously depends on what maps u running but if you compare fastest map for that build vs fastest map clear for ek, ek will almost surely win (even without a hh but FOR SURE with one). there is the autobomber build that cutedog plays and its also likely faster (even without a hh)
Oleksandr YAREMA the clear is only hampered by how fast you shield Charge and loot which in sub T13 you use brightbeak, higher maps switch to scourge. Permanent onslaught and rampage without any clunky swaps. No HH though your spectres have it from jewel. Was playing a light poacher raider TS Iearlier in league and it wasn't even close how much faster this spectre build is. Cutedogs autobomber is indeed super fast but not made for going into red tier maps and without HH won't be nearly as good. This build speed farms T15s...
Amrael sure here is build guide: www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2056832 I find the rampage version more fun and fast but the scourge setup melts T15 and T16.
Oleksandr YAREMA, no offense, but I doubt that you've seen a proper Solar Guard map runner in action if you came to the conclusion that EK is faster. I clear stuff at least as fast as an EK+HH build does. The difference is, I don't need to cast any DPS skill, at all; so I can spend the time wasted by people playing EK casting the skill by picking up the loot instead. You do realize that Solar Guards kill mobs instantly (including fully sextanted, rippy T15 rare mobs, even exiles) the same as EK right? so the only thing that affects the difference between the two is your movement skill's speed and how efficient you are when looting. On top of that, Summoners can do that with a full MF gear, EK needs their HH to keep up in comparison. However, you are correct. The fastest map clearer is Herald Bomber, if you have the currencies that is.
Current clear build iv been trying is scion crit spark mines with the unique elder wand, should hit about 50k per hit against normal bosses with mine field so it shouldn't even feel too bad for bosses. The clear feels great once you get the feel for place then detonateing. Sure mines might not be the fastest things around but it still feels good to me :)
MCWoTGuy I should clarify that is per spark, so with 4 mines per place(shaper helm) and 2 places per second that's 400k dps without accounting for the sparks having enough duration to hit multiple times... In any case I'm making the build for clear not boss killing but fair enough that I didn't explain
If you still need more insights for EK inquisitor nova, check Grimro POE channel, he has 2 over 40 minute long videos how to build EK nova and also really nice google docs spreadsheet. Definitely worth checking it helped a lot. EK nova is really blast, like that build so much :D
could anyone help me with build 2 of FlickyPanda? His Reave Looks so awesome with this ice thingy coming out of the ground, i cant find the effect or the Thing what makes reave lookin like that, please help :-)
I saw him pricing that out the other day on stream, half of the stuff he could literally name the price of since there was nothing close to comparable on the market. Crazy expensive for like 5% faster clear speed, worth!
Yeah, I'm building a budget version of his build atm for around 1.5ex and it's clearing up to T9 just fine, haven't tried higher yet. Cutedog just really likes to take it to the next level I suppose
Hey bro. Been playing on a kinda sketchy schedule. bf/reave gladiator 1h/lioneyes shield. Tanky as fuck (6.2k kife on a tabula and relatively medium rolls on rares). Havent killed shaper yet but facetanking everything. Softcore yet died only to being too brave and shit. Anyhow. Topnotch content. Cheers from paris.
eh. I dont know why this league but i went back to two calssics : strengh baseed cyclone slayer and good ol phys ST scion. Abyss jewels ahve made them more powerfull for sure, but cyclone man... even aftger nerfs, its still easy mode. UNfreakin killable slayers everywhere.
You keep me motivated to come back to poe sooner than later. I just wish I could play the content on the leagues I actually cared about and donated money for. Talisman league in particular and other basically nonexistent leagues keep me tilted toward ggg. Investing orbs to craft maps is cool, to also run variants of a select pool for orbs is atrocious. I've already paid money. I feel like I need the d2 single player equivilents and turn on the leagues at my leisure after playing off and on since closed beta. I'm missing more content than playable, who gives a shit if 20 more skill gems come out and 20 more leagues dissapear??? Love n respect. Sorry to ramble it's my bday =)
Spectre Summoner is faster than EK (just use Brightbeak + SC), with about half the cost AND you can go full MF with even higher IIR/IIQ than most Windripper builds, but clears faster and has no issue with bosses without relying on Vaal Breach's RNG. The reason why I compared it with EK is because it has a very similar playstyle for speed running maps (shield charge everywhere without casting anything else outside of Offering skills every now and then) and without the need to actually cast any DPS skill so you can spend that time looting (SC > Loot > SC > loot > repeat). I still don't get why people keep going for Windripper and/or EK for MF builds, when Summoner's more effective and efficient. Outside of that, and if you have unlimited currency, Herald Bomber and (previously) VPS are hands down the fastest map runner there is to date. I can't think of any other build (outside of some AoE exploit with discharger) that's even remotely close to Bomber's map run times.
how you wanna get higher IIQ/IIR then ripper builds tho? the MF items are quiet limited and i dont see any weapon usefull for summoners with IIQ/IIR. Neither do i see IIQ items that windripper wouldnt use. No flame, actually curious.
Windripper build does win if you use all the available MF gear including sadima and goldwyrm when it comes to IIQ (which is yes, the most important one of the two MF stat) by 15%. But that's it. And some Windripper build does not use both Sadima and Goldwyrm since the DPS/movement hit would be pretty severe. This is not the case with Summoners, Using all MF gear (the same as Windripper) doesn't really affect the Spectre's DPS (outside of the two jewels in Darkness Enthroned, which is unnecessary for normal mapping anyway), Summoners also have no need for a belt slot, so you can use perandus or bisco's leash, some Windripper build still use either a normal Stygian belt or Headhunter to keep up with the clear speed, spectres kill faster even without it. In addition, Summoners can use Animate Guardian, which you can equip with Kingmaker, which gives every minion +30% IIR and culling strike. You can also use 5L+IIR gem on chest without really impacting their clear speed for maps under T14.
currently playing "S A M U R A I J U G G - ONI-GOROSHI FrostBlades & MeatBallz" by eragon1111 ... i freaking love it! if everything stays the same i will play this build next league again.
Hey guys! I hope you are having a great start to your week!
I'm curious; do you prefer fast/meta builds or the more hipster oriented creative builds? I personally tend to play a bit of both. If I am playing a slower build I start to crave a faster one and if I play a "clear speed" meta build, I end up daydreaming about the next "creative" hipster project.
Now I just need one of you guys to create a super fast hipster build so we can have the best of both worlds!
I finally tried out the Volatile Dead Poet's Pen build and I haven't looked back.
Can do a boss killer that can face tank? I don’t have the best reflexes, have been playing for month and have not reached end game yet. Highest I got is to guardians..
I try hipster builds twice, then fail and end up doing a mata build... then mess that up too.
Hey i'm definitely prefer the "hipster" non meta builds cause noone is playing it, and that is the biggest fun for me. Can u try to make video about builds with ascendancies which are not played often like Hierophant?
I like decently fast Hipster builds. The type of build that is creative and rare but doesn't make you feel bad about it, like Mirror Arrow for example
I have really enjoied your Anscestral Warchief Champion build with permanent onslaught and fortiy.
I'm absolutely loving your Dark Pact Skeleton summoner build! It's a ton of fun to play!
Elemental claw Inquisitor molten striker is what I'm playing and by far one of my favorite builds ever. I've easily cleared all content in game and carry people in the highest of maps in group play. It clears very quickly with all that attack speed and shield charge, while now taking advantage of ancestral call for molten strike. OPOP

Love the series of build guides! Keep it up dude
Build #5 is in fact using a headhunter. That having been said I enjoy your builds and videos, keep creating bro!
you could have mentioned that a lot of ppl play the ele buzzsaw builds with 2 skills now, one for clear and one singletarget. while maintaining the very high clearspeed (with spectral throw/frostblades/ and wildstrike to some extend) they use a 6l single target setup with molten strike or bladeflurry. setting it up like this makes the build feel smoother, since you don´t have to do the annoying gem swaps or fight bosses with you clearing links.
I’m playing Zizaran’s EK build and it’s friggin badass. It’s not a boss killer, but clears areas really fast.
Wild Strike/Frost Blades Raider with Molten Strike for single target has been the most fun ive had this league.
Build please?
I've invested 30 ex now into one, and I feel the DPS is lacking...
Dying Sun, +3 proj 2soc lightpoacher, gg claws.. meh :(
sunder gladiator, what i am playing!
got the survivability, got the speed with whirling blades allowing you to get out of harms way. got the damage and got the aoe, single target is decent but it's a really good clear speed build
Engineering Eternity's golden showers should be here imho. Cheap ingame but needs a beefy computer. Also thanks for your Totem Uber Lab farmer. Was my league starter, he got me going on currency. AND i still enjoy playing the build
Loving your new content Lifting!
I enjoy Glacial Cascade Mines the most this league, i am trying out firestorm traps as well on paper works great
Playing mostly Sunder Pathfinder at AHC, with x2 venctors, Sadimas and Goldwyrm. For me its a good balance between very fast clearspeed, tankyness and MF.
Flasks make it even more tanky then gladiator version is some situations, and ultra fast attack speed make it even more enjoyable !
Got my first ever mirror drop, so abyss is my fav league so far :)
Do you have any guide for that? Haha got tired of playing TS xD
Sure, I can link you a Path of Building link! pastebin.com/xccSnLTk
Im using 1:1 same gear exept boots, gloves and rings. I have x2 venctors, Sadimas and Goldwyrm for MF. Playing usually t2-t10 maps. 94 lvl at AHC atm
i would replace the prismatic eclipse with a nice double phy gain as element statstick for more damage
MCWoTGuy Yes, it would be better. But I usually make builds for like 100-150c so its too expensive for me
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
I am currently trying to follow one of the builds you mentioned in older videos.

I didn't notice the channel name starts with Lifting, so I thought you accused him of lifting ideas :P

Good video, what do you think about flicker strike this league with recent nerf to abyssus?
Oni-goroshi flicker strike is pretty fast, I am using it and sometimes when I stop flickering it is already the boss room.
no tregeminus est as 2h sword?°_°
I've been using poets pen for skeletons mages/animated weapons pretty quick also have vis for spectres
Been playing an Umbilicus Immortalis Zombie Baron Scion - 6 abnormal ones with Mon`treguls. The infinte-leech through duelist comes in handy. The Zombies have completely annihilated anything I have faced up to Chimera on a 5l while having ok-clearspeed thanks to the explosions. Can't wait to finally 6l my Sanctuary but RNGesus is still testing my resolve.
Thx for all your strong content lifting ! May i ask you for a top 5 builds for hardcore pls ? This gamemode isn’t noobfriendly but still interesting.
Ty again
Last league i ran a shockwave totem hierophant with empires grasp, map clear was stupid fast, any map boss that was susceptible to knockback was cake. All said it's a great build for control dps and clear although i was coming back from a long absence and i don't think i did so good with optimization for health specifically.
End goal for the build was to have a tukohama's fortress but victario's shield worked well for the charge generation. I ran a carcass jack but on review it cost me gearing options to get the dex to wear it, i would go with a health focus on armor if i did it over.
To stem the low hp i tried bumping my survivability with leech so i had a doryani's catalyst and belt.
I ran the shockwave in the gloves for bonus hierophant aoe and a searing bond setup in a pair of gang's momentum for the life leech granted by hierophant, i never xrafted a great helmet but i used a Geoffrey's to power my enlighten and auras.
I ran a mings for chaos resist and a carnage heart for more leech i think.
The passives i took saw many iterations, in my quest for physical damage i neglected the crit totem tree which i think may have been a mistake, i didn't invest in shield or weapon passives just totem stuff, resists and health, i made an effort to pick up aoe nodes in witch and templar.
A variation that might be better is skipping the tukohama's and going for a crit staff and kaoms heart, ditching the totem pathing into marauder and instead investing in a cold steel jewel at the witch tree or maybe even pushing for the physical/chaos nodes at the top right hand side of the tree.
I would love to know how more experienced player tackles the challenges of a 5 totem hierophant.
its bad.... "map clear was stupid fast".... you have never played any t1 map clearing build have u? anything totem related will always be slower than any t1
Great video once again, bro... if only i had the time to play all these builds :-)
Any insight into how to solve the boss killing on the EK nova build? I've been loving the build in maps and it's clear speed up to t10 but the single target / sustain damage is just not there for me.
Oni- Flicker Strike has been amazing this league. Flickerstrike is much more sustainable now with the bleed reflect+Red Trail boots.
I've had a lot of fun with my Ancestral Warchief during abyss
A few more for map clear builds I would suggest is: Cyclone, Spark and Dark Pact Bezerker. But yeah Wander an EK are the best IMO starting out in PoE this year. EK has gotten me further than any other build in the game and Wander can be a bit of a glass cannon unless you sacrifice some health for all that damage.
You you please make a top 5 tank builds? I love to play tanks in POE but they always suffer TOO much in terms of damage
Is there any guides here about Sunder marauder?
Playing magma orb miner for the second league in a row. I have lots of fun with it, even of mines are 'clunky'.
I've been playing a bleed cyclone and terminus est flicker strike, both slayers. Cyclone is such a great starter build cuz it's really inexpensive, and I feel like flicker strike is the pinnacle of clear speed, I can clear a tier 12 in 3 minutes, excluding boss where I can die once or twice.
hi LiftingNerdBro and guys, on 1:23 timeline, what enchantment is that aoe fire shooting out?
What is the music you're using in the background?
what was the skill used in the second build?
how come build #5 doesnt have a forum build guide? :(, i wanted to make that build but i need a guide! :O
How will i know what to do? Also how do u lvl for that build, do u use EK from lvl 1?
What's a good tanky build for a noob player, good for bosses and not too expensive
Kind of disappointed you didn't include Pt's DD character for this one but I still appreciate your work :D
here are other ideas for build videos :
1 best builds overall for both clearspeed and boss
2 best builds using a headhunter
As a new when should you start focusing on builds? I'm only like level 47 I think been playing for maybe a week(35 hours).
I'd love to see you showcase one of the Poet's Pen builds. I'm running a Poet's Pen Volatile Dead / Cremation / Body Swap Inquisitor (magic find variant) that is insanely fun. Getting 2 minute Shaped Siege / Waste Pool / Vault clears in right now by only hold right click and using flasks. This speed is maintained using 2x Poet's Pens (pretty cheap wands), Lightpoacher, 2x Ventor's Gamble, Bisco's Collar, Bisco's Leash, Greeds chest, Sadima's Touch, and Gold Wyrm boots to total up to 170% passive IIQ. It's ridiculous. My map return is insane and it's the most fun I've had with a build in ages. Up to 4/8 Doctor cards worth of currency and T1 drops in just a few days of mapping. The Rampage bonus from Bisco's Leash is extremely fun, especially when you have the added burst from Lightpoacher going off too. Very fast, colorful build.
I'm playing a Frost Blades Raider. Wondering if I should go all out on damage and become a glass cannon?
Been playing a cleave jugg lab farmer as league starter and then made a contagion essence drain for map clear love them both
How did you guys do the setti ng like that mine is too close how to arrange map view?
PoE is so great... I want to try taht EK/LightPoacher Build, or the Spectral Throw Raider, although im making a Frost Blades raider atm...
No flicker build? I'm disappointed. XD
TheMeaningOf42 flicker is a lot slower than most of the builds here
I disagree. Most of the builds shown in the video need to stop to attack. With flicker, you can kill and move at same time. Also, most of those builds has less attack speed than flicker. You can easily get over 10 aps with flicker.
TheMeaningOf42 you need to go back and collect the loot which is a lot of time when combined
what loot nothing ever drops fix your loot filter.
flicker sucks thats the thing
I'm guessing ziz uses 2 inspired jewels? Its kinda in the same category as opop HH imo. Not really fair for the other builds you showcased.
Joakim Jonsson ya he was using 2 inspired learning. Having played a ton of EK this league tho I can tell you it doesn't need them. I alt spammed a shaped dagger for extra phys as lightning/cold and it's like a 50% dmg increase. The stat sticks are what make it crazy strong. HH/IL are just icing on an insane cake. Also the LA/TS build can fit them in as well so could reave. If you are going full mf, the added buffs make life easier for a little investment.
and yes it is fair.... ek has to sacrifice like 10 skill pts or something to be able to fit in the 2 inspired learnings. almost ANY build CAN use them its just ppl dont since they view as the cost of using them too high for the benefit. This is why ek is so fucking strong, u dont need much to scale it up to be able to clear red t16 maps (not the bosses obviously) which is why it can invest skillpts into inspired learning to gain more clearspeed. What you are saying is that "wah, its not fair that 1 build has sacrificed hp and/or dmg for clearspeed while all the other builds could do so but choose not to since they weaker"
Oleksandr YAREMA fair enough. No what I am saying is, that lifting said he wont be showcasing any HH builds but chose to include one with 2 inspired jewels, which also can make any build kinda op.
"u dont need much to scale it up to be able to clear red t16 maps (not the bosses obviously)" im 99% sure that any remotely serious build can clear t16 trash with less then 20c investment.
having a blast with my terminus est flicker strike slayer for 2 weeks now... wanna try something new though :)
What about spark? Its so stupidly cheap and works amazingly well
Can you do topall content build farmer
Do they loot after clearing the map?
They don't pick up any items!?
What's the fastest mapping build?
just throwing this out there, you said that you weren't putting builds that used headhunters.. :p ziz has used HH on almost each one until he could not afford to buy another one.. but yes it is a pretty alright build even with out such a thing.
Haha good point. That is actually a mistake. I had gameplay of it without the HH, I must have used the wrong video, ah well - it is as you say pretty sweet even without the HH =)
Ziz was running the EK on a 3 link before it ripped the other day. Stat sticks are so op this league, you don't even need links for the EK, much less an HH lol
Ziz also was running 2 inspired learning before his HH, so it was like a discount HH anyway. EK in no way needs HH the clear speed is crazy without it, because lightpoacher is so OP.
in his very first build perhaps, but ya i was just busting his ballz lulz
Great content mate!
Just started 01/12/18 with a flicker/dual striker, it's a Juggernaut dual wielding Two Hyon's Fury, the leveling was a little bit awkward at 50-62 levels but after that the exp just skyrockets. Now i'm currently level 78 looking for a 5L and my current Stats are, Life pool: 4800 / Dual S.: 30k (Buffed) / Flicker : 2,2k Avg (Buffed), all that thanks to the abyssal jewels :D
Wait! That first example WR/LA build took FOREVER to clear the map
Bro, you read my mind with this vid. Watching the others in this series i was like, " Where's the fast builds?" Cause, clearspeed meta memes.
Forgot about Autobomber, Spectres and Death's Oath Boom Boom Occultist, but the latter isn't really that popular. Oh, and Alia's RF Occultist! From the guy who get to 100 in Abyss SSFHC first. That build is super creative and works very well.
last is poop and rf is slow asf but yeah the other 2 u mentioned are pretty solid and can go fast
That RF is insane. Death's Oath is among fastest builds still. Specially compared to some from this list.
What about the Projectile Speed, Nova Spark Scion? That's what I use and get super quick clear times.
not anywhere near the same speed as ek
I love this lifting boy
Wander looks so satisfying to play. Might be a great alternative to my seizure strike Slayer
haha :) I played FS Slayer too. I love it apart from the whoops moments and the running back to pick up currency after you have chained 3 or 4 packs in less than a second :)
The spark build is amazing
What do you think about the herald bombers builds?
expensive but super op and fast
I will chime in like many others that permanent rampage+onslaught solar guard spectres + flame golems is arguably the fastest map clear in game at this time. Also has great boss killing to boot!
roflwafflespewpew Can you share PoB link or build guide ? 😀
"fastest map clear in game at this time"........... highly doubt it. obviously depends on what maps u running but if you compare fastest map for that build vs fastest map clear for ek, ek will almost surely win (even without a hh but FOR SURE with one). there is the autobomber build that cutedog plays and its also likely faster (even without a hh)
Oleksandr YAREMA the clear is only hampered by how fast you shield Charge and loot which in sub T13 you use brightbeak, higher maps switch to scourge. Permanent onslaught and rampage without any clunky swaps. No HH though your spectres have it from jewel. Was playing a light poacher raider TS Iearlier in league and it wasn't even close how much faster this spectre build is. Cutedogs autobomber is indeed super fast but not made for going into red tier maps and without HH won't be nearly as good. This build speed farms T15s...
Amrael sure here is build guide:
www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2056832
I find the rampage version more fun and fast but the scourge setup melts T15 and T16.
Oleksandr YAREMA, no offense, but I doubt that you've seen a proper Solar Guard map runner in action if you came to the conclusion that EK is faster. I clear stuff at least as fast as an EK+HH build does. The difference is, I don't need to cast any DPS skill, at all; so I can spend the time wasted by people playing EK casting the skill by picking up the loot instead. You do realize that Solar Guards kill mobs instantly (including fully sextanted, rippy T15 rare mobs, even exiles) the same as EK right? so the only thing that affects the difference between the two is your movement skill's speed and how efficient you are when looting. On top of that, Summoners can do that with a full MF gear, EK needs their HH to keep up in comparison.
However, you are correct. The fastest map clearer is Herald Bomber, if you have the currencies that is.
top 5 minion build next?
Current clear build iv been trying is scion crit spark mines with the unique elder wand, should hit about 50k per hit against normal bosses with mine field so it shouldn't even feel too bad for bosses. The clear feels great once you get the feel for place then detonateing. Sure mines might not be the fastest things around but it still feels good to me :)
50k per hit for bosses is quite low, some bosses have millions of HP
MCWoTGuy I should clarify that is per spark, so with 4 mines per place(shaper helm) and 2 places per second that's 400k dps without accounting for the sparks having enough duration to hit multiple times... In any case I'm making the build for clear not boss killing but fair enough that I didn't explain
ah ok thanks for the explanation
how you mean it becomes expansive?
theme ?
Love this fast play stile
Great content as usual, and now to point out you lied to us! Ziz had a headhunter on!
LL RF is amasing with new elder suff, and new jewels.
If you still need more insights for EK inquisitor nova, check Grimro POE channel, he has 2 over 40 minute long videos how to build EK nova and also really nice google docs spreadsheet. Definitely worth checking it helped a lot. EK nova is really blast, like that build so much :D
sgtmajfoley I love the build. Gonna check out the link you suggested :)
I always check multiple guides before doing the build to explore my options
what about cutedogs autobomber?
Got excited when i saw "fast clear speed builds". None looked really fast but i know that some of these "can" be fast doe.
could anyone help me with build 2 of FlickyPanda? His Reave Looks so awesome with this ice thingy coming out of the ground, i cant find the effect or the Thing what makes reave lookin like that, please help :-)
Im looking for that too!! msg me if you found it
Jens Garage its called „gloom herald effect“ from the shop :)
Nice! Thanks!
Next video should be a boss killing only build.
2nd this
but i imagine the meatballs build with lead sprinkler is still top. Then prolly a CG crit miner.
Meatballs but not with brutus lead sprinkler.
Abyss jewels is the new meta
GC Miner, anything Necro, Totems.
i taught you miss the fire cyclone chieftain marauder with ngamahu's axe, op fastbosskill and cheap.
Tried Raging spirits necromancer by huy and it's fairly enjoyable
What about Cutedog's autobomber? :P ~400 ex build :V
I saw him pricing that out the other day on stream, half of the stuff he could literally name the price of since there was nothing close to comparable on the market. Crazy expensive for like 5% faster clear speed, worth!
Yeah, I'm building a budget version of his build atm for around 1.5ex and it's clearing up to T9 just fine, haven't tried higher yet. Cutedog just really likes to take it to the next level I suppose
expensive=must be good
Cutedog stands for headhunter already
Hey bro.
Been playing on a kinda sketchy schedule. bf/reave gladiator 1h/lioneyes shield. Tanky as fuck (6.2k kife on a tabula and relatively medium rolls on rares). Havent killed shaper yet but facetanking everything. Softcore yet died only to being too brave and shit. Anyhow. Topnotch content. Cheers from paris.
LiftingNerdBro are you from scandinavia? your english accent is hilarious ^^
eh. I dont know why this league but i went back to two calssics : strengh baseed cyclone slayer and good ol phys ST scion. Abyss jewels ahve made them more powerfull for sure, but cyclone man... even aftger nerfs, its still easy mode. UNfreakin killable slayers everywhere.
Interesting, though I knew lightpoacher would be nerfed. Typical to see Ziz using something cheap like that, hah. Thanks for the tips btw
А ГДЕ ВИНТЕР ОРБ?
Crit Flicker Strike is not fast? :/
Poet pen is damn fast buddy ;) im minmaxing 90quant on it in burial and it’s taking me 3 mins on average
You keep me motivated to come back to poe sooner than later. I just wish I could play the content on the leagues I actually cared about and donated money for. Talisman league in particular and other basically nonexistent leagues keep me tilted toward ggg. Investing orbs to craft maps is cool, to also run variants of a select pool for orbs is atrocious. I've already paid money. I feel like I need the d2 single player equivilents and turn on the leagues at my leisure after playing off and on since closed beta. I'm missing more content than playable, who gives a shit if 20 more skill gems come out and 20 more leagues dissapear??? Love n respect. Sorry to ramble it's my bday =)
flicker striker?:P
Spectre Summoner is faster than EK (just use Brightbeak + SC), with about half the cost AND you can go full MF with even higher IIR/IIQ than most Windripper builds, but clears faster and has no issue with bosses without relying on Vaal Breach's RNG. The reason why I compared it with EK is because it has a very similar playstyle for speed running maps (shield charge everywhere without casting anything else outside of Offering skills every now and then) and without the need to actually cast any DPS skill so you can spend that time looting (SC > Loot > SC > loot > repeat). I still don't get why people keep going for Windripper and/or EK for MF builds, when Summoner's more effective and efficient.
Outside of that, and if you have unlimited currency, Herald Bomber and (previously) VPS are hands down the fastest map runner there is to date. I can't think of any other build (outside of some AoE exploit with discharger) that's even remotely close to Bomber's map run times.
how you wanna get higher IIQ/IIR then ripper builds tho? the MF items are quiet limited and i dont see any weapon usefull for summoners with IIQ/IIR. Neither do i see IIQ items that windripper wouldnt use. No flame, actually curious.
Windripper build does win if you use all the available MF gear including sadima and goldwyrm when it comes to IIQ (which is yes, the most important one of the two MF stat) by 15%. But that's it. And some Windripper build does not use both Sadima and Goldwyrm since the DPS/movement hit would be pretty severe. This is not the case with Summoners, Using all MF gear (the same as Windripper) doesn't really affect the Spectre's DPS (outside of the two jewels in Darkness Enthroned, which is unnecessary for normal mapping anyway), Summoners also have no need for a belt slot, so you can use perandus or bisco's leash, some Windripper build still use either a normal Stygian belt or Headhunter to keep up with the clear speed, spectres kill faster even without it.
In addition, Summoners can use Animate Guardian, which you can equip with Kingmaker, which gives every minion +30% IIR and culling strike. You can also use 5L+IIR gem on chest without really impacting their clear speed for maps under T14.
you say 0:19 no HH builds ---> 5:55 Ziz using HH
Where is shield charge autobomber which cutedog made ? XD
currently playing "S A M U R A I J U G G - ONI-GOROSHI FrostBlades & MeatBallz" by eragon1111 ... i freaking love it! if everything stays the same i will play this build next league again.
Also they cyclone Slayer build is good.
Does anyone co-op? I've never seen a multiplayer vid for path of exile
you're definitely danish :D i can hear it on your accent :p heyo from Iceland
Someone should do an experiment with and without mf gear. Say, you run 50 of the same map with bisco's collar and 50 without.
I like my magic finding balls
You forgot to add Cutedog_'s Auto bomber
