This is your first build guide? You knocked it out of the park dude! Real talent there! Interesting build will definitely keep it in my mind next league.
Great video man, you captured the spellsword feel amazingly, while the guide is clear and deep, yet feels simple to understand. For your first guide you did very well, looking forward for more interesting builds hopefully :)
This is by far the most comprehensible explanation of a build mechanic I have ever seen. Amazing guide, I'm not even playing poe this league anymore but I'm enjoying watching this. Hopefully you'll make more interesting videos in the future, subbing to know when that happens. =}
I love the focus of theme over the meta. Not to say this doesnt work, it obviously did achieve what it was made to do but its such a rare thing to see in poe builds. Hope to see more of this type of stuff man really well done
I really appreciate the comment - thanks! I wanted to build something that was a fun experience to play despite it not being able to absolutely melt bosses and such. I hope you enjoy it if you give the build a try. Or, if you adapt the mechanics in a better way. :)
Amazing build guide. While this is not a build I would ever like to play I was definitely tempted to look at various interactions you explained. The Surging Thoughts is a really interesting item to build around. Thank you for your efforts, the community can always do with more non meta builds.
Thank you for the feedback! I have to admit, I was a little skeptical whether folks would even find the build interesting since it wasn't a 200m DPS uber boss destroyer. I hope you find a way to leverage some of the mechanics in your own builds. Thanks again for the kind words. :)
@@Varquynne I absolutely love the build and i instantly checked the PoB to see how viable it is for a league start. :,) Been trying to think of other skills for the leveling and early mapping process (until i can yoink a rippling thought off the market) that also interact well-ish with the passive tree. Do you have any suggestions/thoughts? Edit: Never mind my sleep deprived ass. Just saw that you had a leveling setup in the PoB as well. Thank you very much!!! Either way, this has probably been one of the most enjoyable build guide videos i've watching in my 800h of poe!! Genuinely fantastic work, and i would be really interested in what other awesome build themes you come up with! ^^
A unique non-meta builds are always appreciated Subbed UPD: Just finished watching a video One of the most interesting builds I've seen in a while Great job!
Probably the best guide I've ever seen for POE. The constuction of the video and explanation is incredibly high quality. I really recommend you to continue! POE sadly isnt the bwst for content creation but if you get a good following before POE2 you vould very well become a big POE content creator! Best of luck! (Maybe make a maven vid as a yt short to get more reach)
This is one of the most beautifully made and well balanced build that i have ever seen, everything makes sense- works together, no too many crazy mechanics, too mane crazy craft rares, you even added flicker strike as mobility which is insane, but makes so much sense actually:D I really want to try this in the upcoming league. Amazing video making style as well.
The sheer amount of quality in this istg I'm pretty sure this checks all the boxes for build of the week, conceptually speaking And then your delivery and tone are on point, and you even recommend CONTROLS? I don't know how long it'll take till you blow up into but I hope you give us more videos like these in the meantime EDIT: HIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD GGG CREATED SPELLSWORD SUPPORT JUST SO IT'S MORE VIABLE (hopefully) I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!
great to see new POE content creators, i've subbed and looking forward to more content from you! Bonus points if you can come up with a delve friendly build that is fun and cheap to get started ;)
Awesome build bro. This high quality reminds me of Esoro's build guides and this being your first is mind blowimg ha. Gotta make some more this new league ayh
Good stuff. Very creative yet reasonable setup. Better than a lot of build “guides” out there using more traditional setups. Seems very functional; I might have to give this a try.
I will keep this video in my tabs for the next league. I definitely want to play the same build, or my variation (however it goes), but the idea and execution are amazing. Have good inspiration mate, to make more good and interesting builds ^^
amazing thematic build. video quality is easily in the top 5 on yt right now. keep this quality up and you maybe reach pohx level of popularity as a build guide
I usually wait a bit with subscribing, until I've seen a couple of videos of a creator. With this as your first build guide though? You damn well earned it right away! Well done and please keep up the good work. I'll definetly be following along if you do! :)
new to the game and this is what im dreaming of creative multi button builds branching to alot of different things! very cool, thanks for well made vid.
Edit: This was the most clear explanation of defensive mechanics in a build that I've ever seen. Incredible presentation. Fantastically clear explanations. I expect a lot of new players will me mesmerized by this guide. Please continue making more; it's so cool to see new ideas in poe, even after so many of us have created so many thousands of builds already.
it does feel like a poe2 build and I love it. it looks like it could probably be optimized at the cost of flavor (because you're only triggering every ~0.2s instead of 0.1s), but the flavor is great. I think that it also might work pretty well as a new chieftain build, making resistances a lot more lenient, at the cost of having to run fortify on frenzy and purity of fire, you may want to run lightning coil or some other form of phys taken as, as a way to mitigate phys damage, since you'd probably be at 85 max res. another option for more damage with high investment may be to run Doryani's Prototype (staying with champion or going for another ascendancy), though you'd need to change quite a bit, as you'd at least want a talisman with lightning taken as fire or cold. going for forbidden fl* with worthy foe might be pretty good, as it's a 10-20% more damage, which also solves accuracy. (and it's cheap-ish) you may also go for fortify instead of accuracy on flicker/frenzy and directly take worthy foe. and since you have naturally no life on your gear except the belt, going for the kitava chest with 800-1000 hp is probably great, and it also frees up your belt slot for a high res rare es belt. edit: there doesn't seem to be any culling anywhere, so you may want to swap faster attacks for culling strike on bosses, run power syphon/gmp/iir on weapon swap, or modify your links to get culling on frostblink or something.
I really like the way you go about explaining what you where thinking while you present the concepts of the build, knowing what you where thinking as you went about expanding on the build strengths and covering its weaknesses helps to be able to make my own version of it. I might try making a spin on this build in the upcoming league.
Great video, lots of useful and nuanced information! My critique to make it a little bit better would be to go into further depth about where/how to obtain the core uniques for the build (for those of us who don't want to interact with the market), Kitava's Thirst and Surging Thoughts. Surging Thoughts particularly; which requires farming drops from a specific map to assemble.
great idea with the build, and awelsome work on the video! i think i will be making this build sometime in the new league coming in, you convinced me with the quality of your video with that approach
Fantastic video! Your editing is slick and helps share information making this video very digestible. I hope you decide to continue making these types of videos that focuses on making builds that focuses on niche archetypes rather then what is meta.
Woah woah hold on I just looked at the comments and this was the first guide you put out? If I hadn't seen that I'd assume you were seasoned beforehand. This was a great video, man, and it really made me want to try the build out
I have never heard of this type of build, I have no idea how good it actually is or w/e, but I just wanna give you props for a fantasticly well-made guide video! Makes me want to try it!
Incredible work! This is such a clever combination of mechanics. Its fun seeing players making original builds around thematics or simply memes, feels good to step away from the meta and try something just as good AND even more pleasing to play.
Well done dude. I've tried and failed a build like this before by trying to jam those tradition defenses of determination/grace, suppression. This seems way better if you dont mind the extra buttons.
I hope you get more traction on this! Your video was informative, concise, you did a good job explaining core mechanics of the build and how it functions when put together. Loved it c: Good luck! Take my like, exile.
I've always loved the idea of "Spellblades" in and out of PoE. This is so cool man... Wonderful and incredible guide. I will definitely try out this build during Ancestors (maybe as an Inquisitor).
This might be your first build, but you've done an amazing job explaining, and I love the slowed down details, this is seriously amazing work. Damn nice sia. ^^
Holy this is one sexy build and im definitely gonna try it out at some point! Choir of the Storm could be insane with this build. yes you lose wrath OR you could run wrath in the boots instead of zealotry and lose that instead (i see the wrath watchers eye), but id argue the lucky damage makes up for it. with the Crucible patch i believe they moved the "lightning damage with non-crits is lucky" from the lightning mastery into the amulet itself and also gives you additional lightning damage proc that deals quite abit of damage as the buff from vaal smite also applies to that spell.

Oh man - thank you so much for the kind words! :)
@@Varquynne Can you update it to 3.22 ? this is the highest quality and fun build i ever seen
I wish more build makers would take a thematic approach like this. I've never wanted to play a build so badly.
Some of them don't even share their build unless you sub to their patreon or wait till end of season lol
I agree, I love thematic builds.
One of the best quality builds I've ever seen.
No it isn't Playstyle with various controls sucks so much.
@@astraldreamer84 what does that even mean
@@PearlBagel he wants a 1 button budget build which autobombs ubers and maps while having 200k EHP
Great video man, you captured the spellsword feel amazingly, while the guide is clear and deep, yet feels simple to understand.
For your first guide you did very well, looking forward for more interesting builds hopefully :)
Appreciate the kind words! Thank you. Will definitely consider putting together more in the future. :)

One of the most interesting builds I've seen in a while
Great job!
Production quality is through the roof! I hope to see more from you!
Nice explanation of comcepts. Appreciate time and energy put into this style of guide, hope to see more.

This was great to watch, really well done man!
One of the best build videos I’ve seen, ever. Thanks for going so in depth! I’m going to try and make a flicker strike variant of this.
thats the best build guide vid ive seen in a looooong time. good job dude!
Awesome build bro. This high quality reminds me of Esoro's build guides and this being your first is mind blowimg ha. Gotta make some more this new league ayh
My dude is a filmmaker no less, amazing stuff
Great video! Also your vocal tone and pace are prefect. The result is a video that is not only informative, but really enjoyable to watch.
Good stuff. Very creative yet reasonable setup. Better than a lot of build “guides” out there using more traditional setups. Seems very functional; I might have to give this a try.
Great editing brother
Really enjoyed the video. Clear explanations and focused on starting gear/low-cost gear. Please do more of this type of videos.
your first try and this is the best quality poe video i have ever seen, you did everything perfect.
This guide made me subscribe. Bro you're a hidden gem. Keep it up.
I like the concept, I'm going to follow the build when the new league launches in August.
You gotta do more man, the community needs awesome people like you!
very good production quality of the video and interesting build, well done mate ! :)
You slowing the video down for the explanation was insane. VERY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER BUILT GUIDES
I will keep this video in my tabs for the next league. I definitely want to play the same build, or my variation (however it goes), but the idea and execution are amazing. Have good inspiration mate, to make more good and interesting builds ^^
Thanks! I hope you have fun with it! I think there are some really cool variants you can create from the base concept. Would love to hear how it goes.
Bro this build looks amazingly fun to play! And for your first build video? A+ in presentation and production value. Well done sir!
Best guide I ever seen and I play this game for years and sub 50 poe streamers. Love showing all the in game details
Great Video! build looks good and the in depth covers everything!
Nice build, nice video, nice explanation, and nice voice quality.
I will do this build next league for sure!
Well done! and subscribed.

you gotta do more of these man! Thank you for putting this out
You're welcome! May the RNG favor you in SSF, exile. :)
new to the game and this is what im dreaming of creative multi button builds branching to alot of different things! very cool, thanks for well made vid.
great format! great build! can't wait for your next video!
THIS is what I call a guide!!! Subbed so hard my mouse broke...
Thanks so much for the build. I'm gonna try it next
Incredibly well-made video! Great job!

Where were your guides 4 years ago when I started playing. Such a well made and detailed guide. Make more.
Great explanation! Great vid! Subbed.

Very good video. I liked watching the video a lot and you did a great job. Ty for the insipartions!
Great guide! Would love to see a high budget version of this.
thoroughly enjoyed this! spell blade is one of my favorite architypes too. I hope to see more builds and stuff. Like your vibes!
Holy shit intro alone is epic. Time to watch whole video brb
You aced the video dude! Well done!! This really looks like a cool build, I'll be giving it a shot in 3.22. Keep up the good work!!!!
great video bro, keep up with more path of exile videos you have a future

100% playing this next league. Solid guide 👌
great video guide :) seems like you put a ton of effort into the build and the guide itself, cudos!

Fantastic video! Your editing is slick and helps share information making this video very digestible. I hope you decide to continue making these types of videos that focuses on making builds that focuses on niche archetypes rather then what is meta.
Man, One full year. Came back to this build recently in light of a new shield that fits it VERY well, think I might take a crack at it!
Clear explanation. 10/10 build, 10/10 guide
Woah woah hold on I just looked at the comments and this was the first guide you put out?
If I hadn't seen that I'd assume you were seasoned beforehand. This was a great video, man, and it really made me want to try the build out
For a moment, I thought Esoro came back...
That's how good your guide was :)
Holy... thank you - that's incredibly kind!
I have never heard of this type of build, I have no idea how good it actually is or w/e, but I just wanna give you props for a fantasticly well-made guide video! Makes me want to try it!
Very cool
Awesome
Speed mapping
Thanks for your effort!!
didn’t knew we could use a sword and a sceptre at the same time what. been playing for so long xd
I really like the way this build looks and the mechanics of it. I’m leveling a second duelist in the current 3.25 league just to try this out 😊
Incredible work! This is such a clever combination of mechanics.
Its fun seeing players making original builds around thematics or simply memes, feels good to step away from the meta and try something just as good AND even more pleasing to play.
hopefully the 3.22 patch notes don't nerf anything here because this is one of the coolest builds I've ever seen.
Well done dude. I've tried and failed a build like this before by trying to jam those tradition defenses of determination/grace, suppression. This seems way better if you dont mind the extra buttons.
Great build guide man! Price of surging thoughts went up tenfold day after XD

Great video !! Cant wait for your take in 3.22 for this build
Cool build and very nicely executed build guide. Great work!
this is amazing! trying it out right now (well in standard atm at least)
this is such a well-made build vid! Hope ypu do lots more!
very nice buildguide, well done. And a thematic build is way cooler than just the best mechanics mashed together
Excellent guide - truly. Very relaxing voice as well!
I've always loved the idea of "Spellblades" in and out of PoE.
This is so cool man...
Wonderful and incredible guide. I will definitely try out this build during Ancestors (maybe as an Inquisitor).
this build looks so fun and unique, I can't wait to try it. thank you for putting together such a great video explaining how everything works
What a great vid, I feel like I'm watching a documentary! must subscribe!
This might be your first build, but you've done an amazing job explaining, and I love the slowed down details, this is seriously amazing work. Damn nice sia. ^^
what is the song at the beginning? sounds like legion but even better
It's another piece by the incredible Kamil Orman-Janowski. His compositions are amazing. It's "Angels and Demons (Mystery Box Trailer)." :)
Holy this is one sexy build and im definitely gonna try it out at some point!
Choir of the Storm could be insane with this build. yes you lose wrath OR you could run wrath in the boots instead of zealotry and lose that instead (i see the wrath watchers eye), but id argue the lucky damage makes up for it.
with the Crucible patch i believe they moved the "lightning damage with non-crits is lucky" from the lightning mastery into the amulet itself and also gives you additional lightning damage proc that deals quite abit of damage as the buff from vaal smite also applies to that spell.
Thank you! Choir/Voice of the Storm could be some awesome alternates for Aul's. Definitely going to try it out to see how it feels. :)
Awesome video!
This is insanely cool. I'm pretty sure I would try this as my final or 2nd final character next league. ty for this.
