as someone who gets overwhelmed with a lot of new information and game mechanics to learn, this video helped me so much. the crafting tips really helped me as well. I was in the boat of not knowing anything about crafting and getting into it was like getting lost in a sea of text, but this video helped me a lot learn the basics of just using essences and harvest reforging. thanks so much really appreciate your content.
Thanks for this video. It was my third "league starter" this league and has been the build I've clicked with. Greatly appreciate the update videos and discussions. Thanks!
I get GGG gives the “less curse effect” to Bane to prevent “lazy curse”. Although it would still be cool if they have a “10% more curse effect per supported gem, up to 20%” to make it not impacting Bane itself :)
This is my first league start and was blown away by how good it is VS bosses. First time killing maven deathless compared to last league with SST raider or LC ele where I struggled. Temp chains is really OP.
Love your passion for this build and also how helpful you are to the people who are playing it for the first time or even giving suggestions to you. I played bane for the first time last league and i absolutely loved it. Its so satisfying to pop large packs, it feels strong, you say its not a fast killer but i was not disappointed at all.💪 Any question i had i went to your discord and asked and you/the community were there to answer my questions immediately. Thanks
Every league I came here with the feeling: "how are our build this time?", and you are always improving! Thank you so much for the build of my POE life.
I just wanted to say I'm fairly new, and I have to say the bill that you show here has been by far my most favorite build and I wanted to thank you for the in-depth that you go into your guides.
Couldn't be more grateful to be introduced to my fave build ever tried. I'm going to make a set just like that and a set for MAX BIG FAT RARITY I'm already at 320%
Thanks for this build and the videos you got me into POE because I couldnt decide what to play. Following everything you say and its super fun to play man❤
I did a Bane starter in 3.19 and it did soo well! Once you get a 4L and profane bloom it feels really good! One of the tried and true starter builds for PoE
I league started poison conc into Spectral Shield Throw, neither of which felt good at all. I went back to bane and it's felt fantastic. I love it so much.
I was waiting for this! Thank you so much, it has been an absolute blast.. I'm waiting to see some bossing action because I'm struggling with bosses, however mapping has been a breeze and so much fun! Thanks as always.
one thing - i'd ask you to please not list the "cost" something had to you, but the cost something would present if one wanted to buy or craft it at the time of the guide's release - saying that an amulet "only cost you 15c" when you simply got lucky while crafting it is quite useless information for someone looking to understand the cost of the build. that pet peeve aside, your content has been very enjoyable and enlightening, and i am currently gearing this to accompany my cold dot starter.
Getting used to crafting on cheaper bases is just gonna be more cost efficient in the long run, especially with how easy it is. Go to Craft of Exile's emulator to try it out for yourself and see how easy it actually is to hit those good mods on a good base and then you can calculate how much the crafting would have costed with what you received in the end. On the amulet you really are only looking for max life and +1 to skills with an open prefix or suffix to craft some good stuff on it, resistances if needed. There's also a possibility that you hit both +1 chaos and +1 all skill gems which is the dream, which is why you wanna get a second base to continue crafting on while you have your current amulet. The anointment is also something to take into consideration when you buy your base and you have to consider what would be the most cost efficient for you, since buying oils can be quite cost heavy.
Thank you for this video, I watched the whole thing! You have a very good way to explain your thoughts on the build, I am not playing it, but I do enjoy watching build showcases!
I've been league starting this since 3.17 I will definetly continue doing so. The smooth feeling of this build is just wonderful, the fact you can just blow up entire packs as soon as you get to maps and then DoT and kite anything that survives really makes for efficient league starter. :)
I had to laugh in your build guide in Zizaran when you referred to yourself as the older dude in the community. If that's true, I'm Gandalf's dad! Your tone in that video reminds me of many of the non-gaming creative work I've done. Signed - grandpa.
I hope people take away that they don't need to follow builds perfectly after you have some experience, and theres a lot of fun to be had if you tinker with them to suit what you wanna do. It's how you learn. I was able to adapt a lot of what I learned doing the Bane starter a few leagues ago into running my own starter this league as Poison BV Trickster, and it went pretty well. I will keep trying to put together my own "basic" builds, then start doing things that are more complex. There's so much more to the game than only copy pasta, leaning into that has extended my play time each season a lot.
I've played this for 3 leagues and love u for making this. Suits me so well and makes me wanna grind to get the best gear possible. Love the wand shield setup and recently bought the mtx as well. Thank u for yet another fun league start ❤️
Awsome guide ! :) Really helped alot to get the explanation for all the "variation" in the build videos you got :) Just for the sake of it Atlas passives - Chaos Dot build (not bane build!! :)) What is the recommenced? From the video I gathered the following: Essences is always good (Life and others) Harvest seems to be used a lot (Reforge Chaos) Expedition is always good as an allrounder (get som fossils for wand craft for example + other stuff) Yes I know , the general idea is "take what you like". And sure that is true, but i just wanted a breakdown of crafts and currency for said crafts :)
I watched this video back in sanctum league and really wanted to try it but I told myself to limit to 1 character for 3.20. I decided to finally try this since crucible was so boring after I maxed my hexblast miner. By far this is one of my favorite mapping builds.
I'm going to do this build as my second one, it looks great and i have played Bane before and to top it off it works with the league, compared to my current build. Thanks for the great explanation (even if it was a little lengthy ;) gonna try the staff version first since i got a Cane of Unravelling till i find better gear.
Went for over an hour, edited it down to 45 mins. I want to see the full version lol I dunno how youtube works with all that, but I'd love it if you uploaded the unedited versions with the edited version. I'd probably pick the unedited every time. Those bits skipped out on probably have a lot of value. Thanks for the vid. I was looking at starting this as a league starter, but because of all the chatter and nerfs that happened, I was a little hesitant. I'll be starting this build either tonight or tomorrow and then HOPEFULLY I'll be able to respec into FR CoC. I've been wanting to do that build for a couple leagues now, and I believe I've got some ways to make currency finally that I'll be able to do it. Thanks again for the vid! I'm curious to see how this build feels in comparison to the staff version.
I love Bane. Only didn’t do it this league because I’ve started it three leagues in a row and I wanted to do something different. Currently enjoying Vel’s ice trap.
I just finished up playing this in SSF, tons of fun. I just found the single target to be problematic, making Sanctum's in particular annoyingly hard, so I've decided to reroll. Best mapper in a long while though.
Back a league or 2 ago when I played your bane build I put an Awakened Spell Cascade on Bane, and you want to talk about clear? Ya it lowered the damage but.. holy cow did it have a massive area of coverage.
I'm thinking about this build. I had explode staff lying around on SSF Standard, if you add HoAsh, Hex Bloom, Profane Bloom to that... Must be awesome!
I've been following this build so long - the only reason im not rerolling this right now is that I will finally leaguestart it next league. Had to have a cd of chaos dot for once
Hi again! Good to see that Bane is still going strong. I was trying to join your discord through the link in the video desc, but it says the link is invalid/expired. Would you please double check, maybe it's an issue on my end. Have a great week!
Bots have been scraping the RUclips video description and joining the discord so I paused it over night to see if they were still getting in. I'll reactivate it now.
League started this build on console. Going well so far through yellow maps. Still trying to figure out what my next build will be once I finally get some divines. Any ideas so far for a next build? Thought about Nimis? Or anything else new?
Hi! Started with your build (it's really comfortable) and easy moved to t16, but! Last variation with hexbloom (I used your pob with minimal changes: big bane radius (max radius) + 3 hexes + empower + hexbloom + profane bloom) kills any game instance I tried when farming blight or blight encounters. 40+ mobs affected by this in the same moment gives 5 second lag, and then disconnect and your map instance lost when you'r back. Works for any server. Tried on several PC's with top configurations and different providers, so it's not a local problem. I replaced hexbloom with controlled destruction and everything's fine. JFYI. Also, I see that your POB config gives not enough mana to use 3*50% auras and cast something in the same time even with E 4lvl gem. So it looks like enlighten 4 is extremely expensive (now its' near 9divs) just to have a bit more comfort with mana with the same auras. (grace, determ/malevolence, vitality, banner).
I can fit flesh, male, grace, and vitality with this build. The part that makes it viable is actually the -7 cost to non-channeling on both rings. You should end up with around ~30 mana left if you follow the tree and gear correctly. Which is enough for bane, blight, etc...
i've been playing this build since middle of last week after my first league starter turned out to be bait.. lvl 93 and loving it. I'm having much worse RNG luck than you did with harvest and essence crafting gear though. probably 10k yellow harvest juice into a shield and have not once landed on both spell damage and +1 chaos gems together and even when I hit spell damage alone its like a terrible low tier roll I find the build to be very fun but I struggle with survivability. Even with 100% spell suppress and like 5600 life I just sometimes get deleted.
Love the build so far. Have you tested the new jewel „The Balance of Terror“? I wonder if it would work with Bane which would be really nice but I’m not sure if it would work in kinda new to Bane.
Enfeeble can be a decent curse to use to survive some big hits. I didn't run bane because despair got changed so much. At some level there is a benefit to use enfeeble and temp chains depending on the gear since dot builds don't instaphase bosses anyway. Especially since ed and vaal blight tend to be the bread and butter dps skills for chaos dot.
I don't understand why Herald of Ash is working here. "Providing fire damage based on your physical damage". Where does the physical damage come from? And overkill by DoT also seems not to work, if I check the wiki. Thx.
If only I knew how to craft. Shit has gotten so confusing for the average player. Build looks really cool, but I would have to find all of those items on trade, which is likely impossible/overpriced.
i dont know how possible this is, but why not use Deaths Oath armour, have 6 sockets for it and you'd use a staff instead with Bane in it? 6support DO should handle basic mobs, so thats less casting for you. Or am i thinking about this wrong?
Thank you for all the content you've provided on this build. Looks super dupe. Question: is the microstutter/screen freeze happen often when you're clearing mobs?
Yo I’m decently new I’m not doing end game stuff I just hit act 4 and I for one love bane I love the chaos hex occultist style how can I without being a league players etc just pump into it I got a 4 link atm highest and I just wanna dump a bit idk what a lot of this stuff is yet but what’s a good way to make bane go ham on stuff cause atm I just use quest reward hex’s under it and if I don’t have a reaper to take blows I’m toast just takes to long atm
I am approaching level 70, and wondering how you keep Grace, Banner, Vitality, Ash, and Sand all up? I have taken the mana reservation nodes, and have the node to make Grace take 25% less mana reservation. I don't need them all now as I am killing everything super quick, but just want to understand how this might happen later on. I am probably missing some gear or maybe something else? Thank you so much for the build, loving it!
Hey mate! Always been a DoT lover and just wanted your thoughts on how this would go for Crucible! I believe it should be a-ok but would love your thoughts from my fav build creator!
Love this build but I had to quit at level 90. I cant ever drop a divine and the price for the gear is at about 50 divine right now....How do you get divines!!!!! I get stuck every build because I never drop divines 2300 hours in and I have never been so frustrated
Regarding Frostblinking out of mob packs: the skill does AoE hit around you both where you start the skill and where you move to. If there are enemies around you before using it and are hit, then cooldown is still decreased as they were hit.
I play it in ssf only thing I am missing is single target damage which is honestly understandable because i don't have a great luck on gear and i was mostly fixing my defenses for now.
Is the build still viable if you remove the channeling component of the build? You only use bane when you are mapping and use all three chaos spells against bosses if you want to have maximum damage? Ist that correct?
The final iteration of this build actually used Soulrend instead of Blight for comfier bossing. Technically lower damage but overall better uptime. It also double dips with Essence Drain in the +3 proj gloves. Try it out!
What is the most reliable way to farm chaos or divine orbs? I’m new and trying to get into the game but I feel like just mindlessly running maps without a clear direction is making me lose interest. I’m using your cane version of this but I want to switch into this version.
hm, i rebuild it now. i am using mageblood and could achieve 70k armor, 100% chance to supress spell damage, 90% physical attack mitigation and nearly 5k life. i use brass dome and all res is 80%, chaos res capped. but honestly: it feels squishy. everything seems to be dangerous now. if its expedition mobs, harbingers, eldritch or rare mobs. everything can kill you in seconds. ok, i played RF before and was super tanky, but i didnt expect this bane version so glass canon like. i run juiced t16.
I mean, at this point it has nothing to do with the build. You have to be missing something to feel that squishy. I have less than half of that and rarely die. Not sure what else to say except record your gameplay and get folks to help you out in the discord? With those stats you should almost never die, doesn't matter what the skill is. That's not even "the build" at that point.
@@subtractem okay, i thought the same way - i must have missed something. thanks for answering. i played bane many times before and it felt quite tanky. i cant really tell, whats the problem. i am also shock immune, immune to corrupted blood. but i realised that those blue lighting beams from eldritch mobs kill me instant. whats that damage type? spell dmg i guess, but iam capped in avoiding it … could it be that i need more evasion? swap evasion for armor? i play on console so sadly i have no discord to ask for help.
I moved from the staff version to this and I am really tight on mana. often times i cant even cast to keep up with an large blight fight. any suggestions?
Using this during the campaign and think I might've misunderstood how it all works. The enemies which i apply bane to take damage over time, the hexes such as dispair/punishment are spread via Hex Bloom, but the damage over time from bane doesn't seem to spread? Is this correct? I have the first ascendency and have specced into profane bloom so far, Level 39.
Well your excitement for this build got me to try it, but I'm a little confused why the skill tree goes into the four "dual wield cast speed" skills around caster mastery when the weapon is a staff? Everything I can find is that 2 hand is not dual wield?
Hey bro I am running this build right now and having a blast! On the evasion parts for helm, gloves, and boots to give you the extra spell suppression throigh your tree, can it be like evasion with es or Armour or do the pieces have to be straight evasion only?
Great as always :P I leveled up char for this build to 95 in 1 day, low dps for now, I mean clear is nice but single target must be improved on my char. Btw, can you show some bosses examples? How it looks with your DPS?
@@subtractem Thank you, i watched video twiced, analyzed pob and now when char is level up I can have a lot of fun for holidays doing upgrades for it :D Now you are top1 poe creator on my list :D
Love the build. What auras should I run for Hardcore? Is it worth dropping Malevolence for Determination? I was planning on doing the standard Determ/Grace/Defiance banner but I'm worried my damage will be atrocious until I can get some insanely strong (aka lucky) gear.
You're not picking up any armor nodes so Determination won't be useful. This build has some great defensive layers already including Grace, Vitality, Defiance Banner, Flesh and Stone, and Temporal Chains and that's just your bread and butter setup. Armor only helps when you're hit and since they're typically blind, slowed, and you're dodging it's not going to give you much utility. Note that blind, slow, and dodge also work great in concert. They're hitting you less often and you're dodging more, so you get this nice hidden multiplier on your defenses. If you follow the build you won't be hurting for damage. Bane on a 4-link feels strong from the moment you get it all the way to maps. You don't need insane gear at all and I'm confident you could league start this in Ruthless. Chaos damage in and of itself is strong and damage over time means really good DPS uptime. It's much easier to survive when you can focus entirely on movement while the damage is being done in the background. I think you'll just find this to be a good HC SSF build as is. I'd encourage you to give it a try.
One thing I'll add is you can get enough armour with hybrid bases. I do reccomend using determination in hardcore just for a bit more phys mitigation, I had 25k with flasks up before I went pure ghost shrouds. Look for flat mitigation on gear, conversion mods, and maybe even a chaos golem.
@@abebuckingham8198 You don't need any armor nodes for Determination to be useful, you just need hybrid Armor/Evasion bases. I've also utilized Iron Reflexes in the past. But having been a longtime Essence Drain player, I know well for a fact that a 4L is not enough to take on any sort of late-game activities without dying. This is not the type of build that is able to stand in place while casting blight and facetanking bosses. Subtractum thanks for the video and your input here.
You say your build has not the most damage. But are other league starte also so strong like bane without gear. I levelled a RF Jugg and a Seismic trap and both do no Dmg without investment. With your bane you can really push to red maps without any big investment. The Poe community should creat like a parameter for builds wich tells us something like DMG per chaos. Your build would be one of the best.

Every league I came here with the feeling: "how are our build this time?", and you are always improving! Thank you so much for the build of my POE life.
You enlighten me alot, Bane will in the top of the list of my character, below RF now. Thx alot bro

you have inspired me sir. i love the build used to play it when i was a newbie and man this vid sold it!
First time league starting Bane, and honest to god its a blast so far, no pun intended.
Couldn't be more grateful to be introduced to my fave build ever tried. I'm going to make a set just like that and a set for MAX BIG FAT RARITY I'm already at 320%
Don’t forget quantity is strong too!
@@TheOriginalDuckley yeah I ended up dropping a lot of rarity for damage. lol. 90% now.

I did a Bane starter in 3.19 and it did soo well! Once you get a 4L and profane bloom it feels really good! One of the tried and true starter builds for PoE
I'm tempted to give this a shot never having played Bane/chaos DoT myself. The explosions look so satisfying and the gameplay looks so comfy.

@@Willianshakspeare21 for bane blight and essence drain
Thanks for the video . I am using the staff version and having a good time playing bane.
Started PC and did not have a great time. Switched to this on day 3 and enjoying it much, much more. Saved the league for me :)
Awsome guide ! :)
Really helped alot to get the explanation for all the "variation" in the build videos you got :)
Just for the sake of it
Atlas passives - Chaos Dot build (not bane build!! :))
What is the recommenced? From the video I gathered the following:
Essences is always good (Life and others)
Harvest seems to be used a lot (Reforge Chaos)
Expedition is always good as an allrounder (get som fossils for wand craft for example + other stuff)
Yes I know , the general idea is "take what you like". And sure that is true, but i just wanted a breakdown of crafts and currency for said crafts :)

*_"I just wanted a bigger bane"_*
That's what she said! 😅
Love the build, gave me lots of good leaguestarts for sure!
Super helpful guild! Thanks for putting this together!
I love Bane. Only didn’t do it this league because I’ve started it three leagues in a row and I wanted to do something different. Currently enjoying Vel’s ice trap.
Awesome video - love your content and how you present it!
damn im doing a bane/blight build as my first ever poe character and this might be a nice lil pivot with the herald of ash and hexbloom.
I just finished up playing this in SSF, tons of fun. I just found the single target to be problematic, making Sanctum's in particular annoyingly hard, so I've decided to reroll. Best mapper in a long while though.

Hey I think you accidentally clicked the essence infusion notable because the PoB is 7 points over max. Just so you know 😃
I'm thinking about this build. I had explode staff lying around on SSF Standard, if you add HoAsh, Hex Bloom, Profane Bloom to that... Must be awesome!
This is my third league playing bane (oops sry i meant chaos DOT occultist), I can vouch for this, it is even more fun this league!
Im thinking of changing my necro build into this.. seems really fun! Explosion is art!!!
Hexbloom is freaking awesome!
I've been following this build so long - the only reason im not rerolling this right now is that I will finally leaguestart it next league. Had to have a cd of chaos dot for once
I'm trying Volcanic Fissure totems right now but I think this will be next.
Hi again! Good to see that Bane is still going strong. I was trying to join your discord through the link in the video desc, but it says the link is invalid/expired. Would you please double check, maybe it's an issue on my end.

Last variation with hexbloom (I used your pob with minimal changes: big bane radius (max radius) + 3 hexes + empower + hexbloom + profane bloom) kills any game instance I tried when farming blight or blight encounters. 40+ mobs affected by this in the same moment gives 5 second lag, and then disconnect and your map instance lost when you'r back. Works for any server. Tried on several PC's with top configurations and different providers, so it's not a local problem.
I replaced hexbloom with controlled destruction and everything's fine. JFYI.
Also, I see that your POB config gives not enough mana to use 3*50% auras and cast something in the same time even with E 4lvl gem. So it looks like enlighten 4 is extremely expensive (now its' near 9divs) just to have a bit more comfort with mana with the same auras. (grace, determ/malevolence, vitality, banner).

One of the top builds this league for sure.
i've been playing this build since middle of last week after my first league starter turned out to be bait.. lvl 93 and loving it. I'm having much worse RNG luck than you did with harvest and essence crafting gear though. probably 10k yellow harvest juice into a shield and have not once landed on both spell damage and +1 chaos gems together and even when I hit spell damage alone its like a terrible low tier roll
I find the build to be very fun but I struggle with survivability. Even with 100% spell suppress and like 5600 life I just sometimes get deleted.
correded, shuddering and metallic combo has a 1/12 chance to hit +2 even without fracture :D
Love the build so far. Have you tested the new jewel „The Balance of Terror“? I wonder if it would work with Bane which would be really nice but I’m not sure if it would work in kinda new to Bane.
Fiiiiiiineeee, Ill try it since you like this so much!
One of my alts is bane on HC cause of you ;)
Enfeeble can be a decent curse to use to survive some big hits. I didn't run bane because despair got changed so much. At some level there is a benefit to use enfeeble and temp chains depending on the gear since dot builds don't instaphase bosses anyway. Especially since ed and vaal blight tend to be the bread and butter dps skills for chaos dot.
Yeah the final version I went for a delve curse chest and ran 4 curses with enfeeble. It was great!
super cool video! my gangbane master!
I'd probably league start hexbloom next season if it's not nerfed.
nice vid as always but is the tree of de pobb correctly?
I don't understand why Herald of Ash is working here. "Providing fire damage based on your physical damage". Where does the physical damage come from? And overkill by DoT also seems not to work, if I check the wiki. Thx.
If only I knew how to craft. Shit has gotten so confusing for the average player. Build looks really cool, but I would have to find all of those items on trade, which is likely impossible/overpriced.
i dont know how possible this is, but why not use Deaths Oath armour, have 6 sockets for it and you'd use a staff instead with Bane in it? 6support DO should handle basic mobs, so thats less casting for you. Or am i thinking about this wrong?
Thank you for all the content you've provided on this build. Looks super dupe. Question: is the microstutter/screen freeze happen often when you're clearing mobs?
I loved the babe builds so much. How is bane/ed/blight nowadays? Are the transfigured gems helping?
no, still very bad unfortunately
@@subtractem Do you know how bad? To bad for T16? To bad for red Maps at all?
Hmm why i cant usw The PoB Link ??
that was crazy blew my mind
Build would probably fry my pc or at the very least you could cook a hot pocket in my room.
thank for this video test now !
Yo I’m decently new I’m not doing end game stuff I just hit act 4 and I for one love bane I love the chaos hex occultist style how can I without being a league players etc just pump into it I got a 4 link atm highest and I just wanna dump a bit idk what a lot of this stuff is yet but what’s a good way to make bane go ham on stuff cause atm I just use quest reward hex’s under it and if I don’t have a reaper to take blows I’m toast just takes to long atm
i remember when bane was introduced and how fucking broken it was, seems its back! think i gotta play this as my second or third character
Bane gang forever
Can this build still boss on a roughly 1 Div budget? Hit a wall with SST and looking to change gears.
Did 2 or 3 bane starts already and was never disappointed. not the highest damage or tankines but overall a relly good and comfy starter!
I am approaching level 70, and wondering how you keep Grace, Banner, Vitality, Ash, and Sand all up? I have taken the mana reservation nodes, and have the node to make Grace take 25% less mana reservation. I don't need them all now as I am killing everything super quick, but just want to understand how this might happen later on. I am probably missing some gear or maybe something else? Thank you so much for the build, loving it!
Hey mate! Always been a DoT lover and just wanted your thoughts on how this would go for Crucible! I believe it should be a-ok but would love your thoughts from my fav build creator!
Love this build but I had to quit at level 90. I cant ever drop a divine and the price for the gear is at about 50 divine right now....How do you get divines!!!!! I get stuck every build because I never drop divines 2300 hours in and I have never been so frustrated
Regarding Frostblinking out of mob packs: the skill does AoE hit around you both where you start the skill and where you move to. If there are enemies around you before using it and are hit, then cooldown is still decreased as they were hit.
Yeah I just don't like dealing with any of that. Particularly in a hectic boss fight where I might want to blink multiple times not close to them.
The PoB saids nothing about hexbloom support gem? What do i slot this with and where?
I play it in ssf only thing I am missing is single target damage which is honestly understandable because i don't have a great luck on gear and i was mostly fixing my defenses for now.
Im using bane RF and it feels great
First. Wonderful work thanks
Hello,
Is the build still viable with the upcoming POE 3.24 league version?
Is the build still viable if you remove the channeling component of the build?
You only use bane when you are mapping and use all three chaos spells against bosses if you want to have maximum damage? Ist that correct?
The final iteration of this build actually used Soulrend instead of Blight for comfier bossing. Technically lower damage but overall better uptime. It also double dips with Essence Drain in the +3 proj gloves. Try it out!
Can y'all start putting how play guides.. im 100 hrs in and would love if yall would instead of fallowing one from 9 months ago....
oh shit shit shit shit shit shit it's on my left click don't tell him
What is the most reliable way to farm chaos or divine orbs? I’m new and trying to get into the game but I feel like just mindlessly running maps without a clear direction is making me lose interest. I’m using your cane version of this but I want to switch into this version.
hm, i rebuild it now. i am using mageblood and could achieve 70k armor, 100% chance to supress spell damage, 90% physical attack mitigation and nearly 5k life. i use brass dome and all res is 80%, chaos res capped. but honestly: it feels squishy. everything seems to be dangerous now. if its expedition mobs, harbingers, eldritch or rare mobs. everything can kill you in seconds. ok, i played RF before and was super tanky, but i didnt expect this bane version so glass canon like.
i run juiced t16.
I mean, at this point it has nothing to do with the build. You have to be missing something to feel that squishy. I have less than half of that and rarely die. Not sure what else to say except record your gameplay and get folks to help you out in the discord?
With those stats you should almost never die, doesn't matter what the skill is. That's not even "the build" at that point.
@@subtractem okay, i thought the same way - i must have missed something. thanks for answering. i played bane many times before and it felt quite tanky. i cant really tell, whats the problem. i am also shock immune, immune to corrupted blood. but i realised that those blue lighting beams from eldritch mobs kill me instant. whats that damage type? spell dmg i guess, but iam capped in avoiding it …
could it be that i need more evasion? swap evasion for armor?
i play on console so sadly i have no discord to ask for help.
I moved from the staff version to this and I am really tight on mana. often times i cant even cast to keep up with an large blight fight. any suggestions?
Using this during the campaign and think I might've misunderstood how it all works. The enemies which i apply bane to take damage over time, the hexes such as dispair/punishment are spread via Hex Bloom, but the damage over time from bane doesn't seem to spread? Is this correct? I have the first ascendency and have specced into profane bloom so far, Level 39.
Well your excitement for this build got me to try it, but I'm a little confused why the skill tree goes into the four "dual wield cast speed" skills around caster mastery when the weapon is a staff? Everything I can find is that 2 hand is not dual wield?
That's just the early leveling tree that uses wands since they're easy to get in the acts.
Hey bro I am running this build right now and having a blast! On the evasion parts for helm, gloves, and boots to give you the extra spell suppression throigh your tree, can it be like evasion with es or Armour or do the pieces have to be straight evasion only?
Hybrid is fine but suppression is harder to roll on them. Fractured bases help a lot for that.
Great as always :P I leveled up char for this build to 95 in 1 day, low dps for now, I mean clear is nice but single target must be improved on my char. Btw, can you show some bosses examples? How it looks with your DPS?
Check latest video
@@subtractem Thank you, i watched video twiced, analyzed pob and now when char is level up I can have a lot of fun for holidays doing upgrades for it :D Now you are top1 poe creator on my list :D
@subtractem How difficult would it be to transition from the staff build to the wand shield version
Very nice build i will give it a try..btw what is going to be your second..build this league?
Not sure yet. Letting the relics guide the way!
Love the build. What auras should I run for Hardcore? Is it worth dropping Malevolence for Determination? I was planning on doing the standard Determ/Grace/Defiance banner but I'm worried my damage will be atrocious until I can get some insanely strong (aka lucky) gear.
You're not picking up any armor nodes so Determination won't be useful. This build has some great defensive layers already including Grace, Vitality, Defiance Banner, Flesh and Stone, and Temporal Chains and that's just your bread and butter setup. Armor only helps when you're hit and since they're typically blind, slowed, and you're dodging it's not going to give you much utility. Note that blind, slow, and dodge also work great in concert. They're hitting you less often and you're dodging more, so you get this nice hidden multiplier on your defenses.
If you follow the build you won't be hurting for damage. Bane on a 4-link feels strong from the moment you get it all the way to maps. You don't need insane gear at all and I'm confident you could league start this in Ruthless. Chaos damage in and of itself is strong and damage over time means really good DPS uptime. It's much easier to survive when you can focus entirely on movement while the damage is being done in the background.
I think you'll just find this to be a good HC SSF build as is. I'd encourage you to give it a try.
One thing I'll add is you can get enough armour with hybrid bases. I do reccomend using determination in hardcore just for a bit more phys mitigation, I had 25k with flasks up before I went pure ghost shrouds. Look for flat mitigation on gear, conversion mods, and maybe even a chaos golem.
@@abebuckingham8198 You don't need any armor nodes for Determination to be useful, you just need hybrid Armor/Evasion bases. I've also utilized Iron Reflexes in the past. But having been a longtime Essence Drain player, I know well for a fact that a 4L is not enough to take on any sort of late-game activities without dying. This is not the type of build that is able to stand in place while casting blight and facetanking bosses. Subtractum thanks for the video and your input here.
Can I do Juicy Delirium with bane and how much do I have to invest for it?
You say your build has not the most damage. But are other league starte also so strong like bane without gear. I levelled a RF Jugg and a Seismic trap and both do no Dmg without investment. With your bane you can really push to red maps without any big investment. The Poe community should creat like a parameter for builds wich tells us something like DMG per chaos. Your build would be one of the best.
hi, im new here! is there a video of the beginner version of this or just the pob u linked in description?
Yeah check out the 3.18 video ruclips.net/video/6wkarBO1h9E/видео.html
Ive arround 60-70 div's to blow. How will this character do single target wise`?
Anybody know what that particle effect is for the explosions? Cuz that's not what profane bloom looks like
Despair effect
Maybe i missunderstand the build. But i do not understand how you spread the curse. Someone explain please?
Hex bloom support spreads it
@@subtractem Thank you for the answer.
