UPDATE: AS PER POPULAR REQUEST, HERE'S THE 10 DIV UPGRADE FOLLOW UP! ruclips.net/video/65lXJN4Bx_E/видео.html Original Comment: How do you reckon we did on our 1 div budget challenge? Content completed: - 200 depth delves - T16 maps and most of the guardians - Elder guardian 4 way deathless - Sirus with an oopsie death - Maven (not deathless due to hitting antiheal beams) - Uber Elder Deathless (in vid) It really is the perfect league to do this: - cheap gear from MF juicers supplying the market - Every non MF strategy is super profitable to supply aforementioned juicers - Oath of Maji node makes for insane early endgame and leveling, easy res and tons of movespeed.
I think this league is a little bit of an anomaly, because mf is so profitable, the base items are dirt cheap but the moment you go for items that are not found in maps, the prices go to the moon. Like a power charge synth ring is now 400+ div. That said it looks like a job done nicely for 1 div
pretty good but the league is fucked , like void battery+badge+ralakesh isnt a one divine budget build two things i'd like to mention tho: if you craft a shaper helm to 6L your arc there instead you can slot out gems from your chest and jump up from 5300 ES to 7300ES and in a league with normal prices tulfall is better than void battery (if you swap lightning pen for trinity tulfall actually outdamages void battery on your PoB and you get freezes on top )
Ralakesh boots were 3 divine all through week 1 in sc trade. Graven isnt expensive but isnt super available during that timeframe so could easily spike. Void batteries are always somewhat expensive early but fall quickly just like cold iron points. And weve seen leagues in the past where badge was 20+ exalt. It's a good setup for sure but I'd never league start something depending on this gear and after the prices fall you likely have access to other things like heist rolled drops, rog crafts and fractured + essence crafts which are better. Boots are dope tho and really the only gear piece doing something unique here.
I love this not because I can only spend 1 div, but with a restriction like that you really get to see certain mechanics shine. There are so many lower tier uniques that are good but not necessary for high budget builds, I would love to see more of them
Would be really interesting to see a div by div upgrade of this build (or any other really) to see how far you could take the improvements before there's no options within a single divine. Feels like theres so many 1 div builds with little info on how to affordably make improvements down the line and could be helpful to a lot of players.
Double this. It's kinda disheartening when you are like "ok, I've replicated this build in 1 div and have 5 more, how do I improve" and streamer is like "I will unleash couple hundred divs and see where I can take this build"
better rares, better rolled uniques (maybe with nice corruptions), jewels, and awakened/corrupted skill gems are usually all you're changing until you can afford bigger item upgrades that you'll see in the 100+ div versions. some of those more expensive upgrades will come with down sides which means your other gear will need matching upgrades if you haven't been planning your previous upgrades around them. instead of spending 10-20c on your rare items, spend a whole divine. spend money on your flasks so they give greater effects AND are more reliable.
first thing probably is a decent helmet with +1 power charge implicit, there're actually lots of good option of unique helm with +1 power charge for very very cheap
This comment might have come off as me asking for advice on upgrading the build, that wasn't my intention. I was suggesting this as a potentially interesting content format to help new or casual players learn the process of build upgrading in a way I hadn't seen approached by many content creators, most other guides on the subject are quite abstract from the builds people are playing so making it a form of build guide too would, at least to me, make the correlation of currency to useful item stats somewhat more intuitive. could be made even more educational for those players by also proposing alternatives that can be achieved with time investment rather than currency, such as suggesting to run lab for gem quality and incursion to try get gem and item corruptions for themselves.
@@prettytrashx I think that's actually an excellent idea to jump on, given how many more people are leaning toward poe with the "great success" of another indie game goes like something before E5
Great build and video Ziggy, can't wait to see the upgraded version of this build. I've got plenty of currency to dump into a character and been really wanting to try out the new transfigured arc gem. Can't wait for the follow up! Very impressive results with such a low budget and appreciate you sharing this build with us.
Considerably more expensive when I tried it. But still a fun build even without the restless ward. Have to get one still. Running tier 16 maps with a four link ...
Hey just wanted to say thank you for the viper strike build you came out with. The first build in a long time I’m having an absolute blast playing and going to try ssf with.
A combo that is super nice (but not in budget hehe) is a Militant Faith jewel with Dominus as templar. It gives inner conviction which gives 3% more spell damage per power charge and you cannot gain frenzy charges.. downside which you bypass with ralakesh's!
Bro, thanks genuinely for getting back to PoE. Your content has been the most fun out of the top-10 streamers constellation. Also do consider using the tincture that applies a random curse on hit to develop the build even more.
@@charlespanache7047yeah me and my friend all debuted with maji then I changed to huntress cause the expansion is just that better, plus end game you won’t play empty gears it’s not possible, for league starter i will say viable, but not for long
thanks 2 days to late haha. was searching for a ark build but there were none so i stuck to freezing pulse totem and this is so expansive :D i will still give it a try later!
Just for all the people intending to try this on league start: price will be WAY HIGHER. The boots alone went about 4-5 divine the first days. You can totally do this two-three weeks into the league, but as a starter you will NOT get this gear this cheap.
Yeah for sure, generally speaking you want your league starter to not really have many or any rarer uniques needed - though almost anything can be adapted to work without until you can get them.
yeah , its a one div build because economy is fucked. by not stretch of the imagination are you making a badge ralakesh charge stacker at a budget price in a normal league
Ralakesh was only 40c at this point last league, void battery 20c, badge of brotherhood a bit more at 50-60c, graven's 5c and so on. You can see all this historical pricing info on PoEninja. It is a bit cheaper than usual this league for sure but it's really not that crazy. Best thing really is just oath of maji making capping res easier. @@voidroad
Ralakesh was 2 div mast league when a use case for it was popularized (decharge exploit). Those boots are rare. And many builds use the new boots. They will be 2-5 divs next league if magic finder is not abused like it is today.
While Arc of Oscillating does not abuse Hydrosphere like Arc of Surging does, it does scale very well with pack density and its single target damage is not bad at all as it enjoys a much higher base damage than Oscillating. If you can get a Vaal Arc of Oscillating, it will literally clear multiple screens of packs. I recommend giving it a try.
you can also use willclash, golden mask with tempest shield to get max spell block and immune to shock to keep the damage per charge mastery and gain increased elemental damage per power charge
You can also go Penance brand of Dissipation with two call of the brotherhood and phys conv gloves With an occultist and this setup, u can easily get a squishy but fast boss killer (did all uber with less than 5d invested)
usable on a lot of ascendancies if you want something tankier like trickster is a good option, or pathfinder if you go flask uptime + lightning coil with taste of hate etc. Ocultist is by far highest dps though
careful with Arc of Surging, from what i heard the shotgun effect when there's only one target for the bolts to bounce off to is unintended and could get fixed.
It's been like that since league start, it won't get "fixed" cause that will be a direct nerf to many people who already made builds around it because GGG didn't nerf it yet, unlike the DD nerf that hit literally next day after discovering it.
I'd be surprised if they change it this league but I can definitely see that happening next league - it's overtuned for sure but I kind of like how mechanically unique it is to play.
I'll also add I don't think it's unintended either (though maybe they forgot about hydrosphere) - I think this because unlike the other Arcs this one doesnt have any "damage per remaining chain" to give it single target scaling - the mechanic was intended to be the single target solution (with the downside of it being multihit so no ignite potential).
@@ZiggyDGaming I would have to disagree there, if you look at the numbers on both Arc transfigured gems, Surging's damage and added damage effectiveness is multiple times more than Oscillating, if it's also shotguns for single target, I don't see why anyone would use Oscillating over Surging in any scenario, just my 2 cents.
@@ZiggyDGaming They purposely changed the way hydrosphere works so that kind of chaining can’t work, which is how people abused it before. Also even the wiki about chaining interactions states they should never bounce between the same two targets more than once, unless going through a third and cycling like that. It would definitely seem like a bug to me if that is still happening for this skill.
I tried the build, it was great during acts. At maps it starts to get tricky with the low ES and mitigation. Anything over t13 with extra mods is a one shot fiesta :D PoB: fyk6zQB5rjTk Upgrades are pretty costly when it comes to energy shield, now I know why I never played CI before XD It still feels meh vs strong rares, but since I'm lvl 80s yet, maybe it'll get better with time. Anyway the way you explain things is amazing. It would be nice to have one safe and cheap build for each class to league start and all. :)
I know it's pointless to speculate but think Ralakesh will get another rework? It is so hard to put it down now. (Hopefully other options become as attractive, of course.)
Probably at some point, charge stacking is looking a bit too "defacto way to go" for hit spells at the moment (not to say other setups like mana stacking aren't viable though).
power charge stacking is just insane right now. Any build that can use it (basically just need a unique shield and boots) will find that it is always optimal to do so. And it brings so many OP interactions with badge of the brotherhood or anathema ring to further enhance those builds. But even just the boots and shield is so much free power. Ive been actively trying to avoid that combo as much as possible because it really limits build creativity, but every single time it finds its way back onto my characters. Have been trying to find a way to go CI with full phys to ele damage taken conversion, while still having 10m+ bossing dps, to abuse graven to its full potential. If this setup were reasonable, any hit that cant kill you in 3 seconds, cant ever kill you. Your recover more damage than you take. Still die to DoT though
I league start with power charge stacking arc assassin every league. No unleash nonsense. Void batteries, an impuslas, a decently rolled inward eye helm, mark of the shaper ring and a rare elder ring and the rest are whatever you want. Min max to 15 mil damage, im almost level 100 solo playing t16 dunes, its always an easy success
you should try tulfall , since the buff it outdamages void battery on charge stacker , even on ziggy's pob right there if you swap void battery for tulfall he gains 10% more damage ( swap lightning pen for trinity ofc) and freezes
Im interesting in trying this myself, just finished off my splitting steel champ but i dont enjoy it. Im a trickster guy at heart. I look forward to seeing where you go from here with this. I have the currency to invest too.
Have you thought about swapping to Arc of Oscillating for better map clears? I'm running basically the same build and I'm not bossing fast at all but no real issues outside of the random one shots. Going to pick up surging to swap in for bosses.
Thank you ziggyd, I found the transgem on merc lab, its not really what I wanted but I decided not to sell it since its only 10c back then. Now your vid will make the price skyrocket to divs.... Hopefully :)
Hi ZiggyD, thanks for your excellent work thru the years, I'm following U since the Tornado-ass build...even tough i quit POE for a few years. I m trying this build now and having a blast till now (LVL 50 in act 6) . for sure i miss something since i m having survaivability issues now. I have equipped all levelling unique gear you reccomand in POB notes (and Oath of maji allocated). What am I doing wrong ? Do i keep the levelling gear up to lvl 70ish?res are capped but chaos, also having mana issues using Shavronne Reveletion Ring. any advice would be greatly appreciated
Can anyone help me out pls_ i m missing something crucial as I keep being onshotted at lvl 59..

There are other power scaling option for (a lot) more than 1d. Millitant faith with dominus keystone, Crit multi charm (plus evasion per frenzy if possible) a synth power ring with kalandra ring (crazy budget) warlord helm with +1 power (can awaken with hunter lightning dmg)
Definitely outside of this budget scope though militant faith probably is pretty accessible as an early upgrade path. These are all big add ons for sure! Curse on hit tinctures on wanders is another interesting option I saw Jungroan using for a charge stacking wander.
Could you go a bit more into depth about which order you'd pick the next couple of ascendancies in? If I remember correctly your POB mentions just doing what you feel like, but as a newcomer I have no idea what I'm feeling like.
Hey Ziggy! Whats the rotation for this? My numbers are inconsistent and if a rare has hp regen etc, They just heal back up taking me forever. For trash, I'm guess I just use naked Arc Surge, then for single target bosses, Hydro? I've spent a good few divines here but I think I'm missing something. My lightning arrow ranger was clearing maps so fast, but was a terrible bosser and squishy. Wanted this to be a happy medium.
For anything that is a bit tougher start with hrdosphere place, then swoosh it over them then arc the hydro. Once it's been placed you just keep swoosing it around to curse and debuff and shotgun from it. For anything really tough you use your extra curses. Assassin's mark with the mark mastery passive disables regen.
not to knock off the idea of the build/video but arc of surging is just not intended to have 50 bounces off hydrosphere and I'd wager to guess penance brand of dissipation is going to get a hefty nerf next league too so I would have personally have liked more if this was done on another skill
I used the unlinked Vaal arc to blow up weak packs and gain the arc damage is lucky buff which works across versions. It's just a budget setup, later you use a combined Vaal arc of surging or just a 21/20 arc of surging
The cheap uncorrupted uniques have gone way up in price and I dont see them coming down bc people are buying them like crazy just to corrupt.. a +1 charge on any of them is a few dozen divines at this point
Power charge stacking in general is pretty cracked this league. Especially because the league mechanic has depressed the price of uniques so much. I feel like the boots alone are a 5+ div unique in a normal league, but at 20c even a good corruption is cheap
Doeqsn't compete at all. Requires positioning and waiting for chains. When I swapped to PB from arc I remembered how weak arc is as a skill. Not to mention brand has infinite clear. You won't see a single arc build under 200div that's clearing legion, brach or abyss quickly. Arc is just a wait for chains build.
I tried both on this exact same setup (swapping to appropriate gems and brand nodes of course). Penance was easier, and it's what I'd go for hardcore bossing but single target was worse at this budget. As long as you're happy to learn to position hydrosphere and use unleash it's really strong, I prefer it. This said, penance brand is insane long term - it's certainly not a wrong choice.
Two mana nodes and the mastery for reduced costs. Unleash is really cheap on mana so it's usually only a problem from curse triggers on the brand, I find only if I put 2 brands down at once. Try to stick to one brand out or see if you can get some further.mana cost reduction.
usable jewel goes for upwards of 1div. Im sure if you spent a lot of time wooping it youd be able to snipe one like 50c but most usable legion jewels are 1div+. Legion farmers just chuck them into dump 1 div or higher dump tabs. So for the contraint of 1 div, gaining like 30% more dmg for your entire budget doesn't seem very practical.
I wouldn't say no tricks involved, making a build heavily based on uniques in this league is a budget trick in itself. The prices have hit absolute rock bottom for nearly all the previously expensive uniques. Which is great if you want to build fairly strong builds on a budget.
I was curious so I looked up this time last league for price comparison - they are a bit cheaper but actually not by that much: Ralakesh was only 40c at this point last league, void battery 20c, badge of brotherhood a bit more at 50-60c, graven's 5c and so on. You can see all this historical pricing info on PoEninja.
@@CssHDmonster maybe he has maxres wothout charms? ;) to be serious, it's a 1div challenge, I play ssf, so I don't know charm prices. Maybe to expensive?
if not hydrospehere and arc of surging.. is there alternative skills i can use? aiming the hydrosphere is kinda difficult with controller :( im playing in steamdeck.
Any hit damage spell will work though if course they'll vary in effectiveness and you'll need to consider support gems and passive alterations to suit.
Perhaps I should make a guide showing that sort of thing for people who arent quite familiar yet. - Essence nodes on atlas passive tree = run white maps and pick up essences, and sell them a few at a time (or in bulk all at once). They sell really well even weeks into a league. - Delve = get some suplhite in some maps and run your current level delves hitting currency nodes, fossils and any "contains fire/cold/minion/chaos/etc items" jewellery with curse on hit are worth a lot. Sell fossils and resonators in bundles for a bunch of currency really quickly. - Heist = you pretty much just pick currency up while you progress the rogues, then later farm chase heist item types. If you're brand new you may have to look into these things a little more, I'll ponder a guide to entry level currency making possibly.
Just do your atlas map after the campaign while also getting essence skill points. By doing that you will quickly and mindlessly get a divine pretty easily. Dont worry too much
Am I missing something or did I not look thoroughly enough? As a newcomer I'm trying this build, at around lvl32 but I'm so lost. No single target damage Curses doesn't seem to stack? Kill or spare bandits? (I killed them)
At level 32 you're not playing this build yet, you're just leveling an arc character. Anathema and power charge stacking is required for the multi curse. Single target damage comes when you get hydrosphere to split off of. Kill bandits always in modern PoE.
Cheers, thanks for the response :)@@ZiggyDGaming I bought an Arc of Surging and started leveling it, now at lvl 39 with the first lab completed. Excited to see how well this build works out for me :)
Second question; could you go a bit more into depth about which order you'd pick the next couple of ascendancies in? If I remember correctly your POB mentions just doing what you feel like, but as a newcomer I have no idea what I'm feeling like.@@ZiggyDGaming
Bc it's a trash build that excels at nothing. Weak clear speed ( show me ANY arc build clearing legion or breach, I'll wait) and your boss dps is you just waiting for chains to build up. Penance Brand of Dissipation uses a similar tree +gear and it scales 10x better. Not to mention the skill has 100% uptime and doesn't require and positioning to work.
@@charlespanache7047penance brand of dissipation is for sure getting nerfed next league tho. Completely busted skill in terms of DPS compared to anything else.
thats a fake 1 div budget. the prices are fucked , ralakesh , badge and void battery are all high end items that usually cost each more than one divine

Original Comment:
How do you reckon we did on our 1 div budget challenge?
Content completed:
- 200 depth delves
- T16 maps and most of the guardians
- Elder guardian 4 way deathless
- Sirus with an oopsie death
- Maven (not deathless due to hitting antiheal beams)
- Uber Elder Deathless (in vid)
It really is the perfect league to do this:
- cheap gear from MF juicers supplying the market
- Every non MF strategy is super profitable to supply aforementioned juicers
- Oath of Maji node makes for insane early endgame and leveling, easy res and tons of movespeed.

two things i'd like to mention tho:

and in a league with normal prices tulfall is better than void battery (if you swap lightning pen for trinity tulfall actually outdamages void battery on your PoB and you get freezes on top )

what to do about stunlock, I have 2.6k es and 675 life at level 58, still haven't really specked into ES keystones
how to level - what order do you pick the ascendancy nodes? maybe some other build is close enough and goes deeper into leveling? thank you!

If you can get a Vaal Arc of Oscillating, it will literally clear multiple screens of packs. I recommend giving it a try.
You can also get immune to shock while on maximum power charges mastery to negate the malachais downside
you can also use willclash, golden mask with tempest shield to get max spell block and immune to shock to keep the damage per charge mastery and gain increased elemental damage per power charge
@@niggasaiyajin5358 yeah this is pretty good
I respecced my trickster the other day to try ralakesh charge stacker now things are cheaper, really fun.

You can also go Penance brand of Dissipation with two call of the brotherhood and phys conv gloves
With an occultist and this setup, u can easily get a squishy but fast boss killer (did all uber with less than 5d invested)
usable on a lot of ascendancies if you want something tankier like trickster is a good option, or pathfinder if you go flask uptime + lightning coil with taste of hate etc. Ocultist is by far highest dps though

I tried the build, it was great during acts. At maps it starts to get tricky with the low ES and mitigation. Anything over t13 with extra mods is a one shot fiesta :D PoB: fyk6zQB5rjTk
Upgrades are pretty costly when it comes to energy shield, now I know why I never played CI before XD
It still feels meh vs strong rares, but since I'm lvl 80s yet, maybe it'll get better with time.
Anyway the way you explain things is amazing.
It would be nice to have one safe and cheap build for each class to league start and all. :)
I know it's pointless to speculate but think Ralakesh will get another rework? It is so hard to put it down now. (Hopefully other options become as attractive, of course.)
Probably at some point, charge stacking is looking a bit too "defacto way to go" for hit spells at the moment (not to say other setups like mana stacking aren't viable though).
"Only 1 Div" aka the max of any build I've ever made
power charge stacking is just insane right now. Any build that can use it (basically just need a unique shield and boots) will find that it is always optimal to do so. And it brings so many OP interactions with badge of the brotherhood or anathema ring to further enhance those builds. But even just the boots and shield is so much free power. Ive been actively trying to avoid that combo as much as possible because it really limits build creativity, but every single time it finds its way back onto my characters.
Have been trying to find a way to go CI with full phys to ele damage taken conversion, while still having 10m+ bossing dps, to abuse graven to its full potential. If this setup were reasonable, any hit that cant kill you in 3 seconds, cant ever kill you. Your recover more damage than you take. Still die to DoT though
I league start with power charge stacking arc assassin every league. No unleash nonsense. Void batteries, an impuslas, a decently rolled inward eye helm, mark of the shaper ring and a rare elder ring and the rest are whatever you want. Min max to 15 mil damage, im almost level 100 solo playing t16 dunes, its always an easy success
you should try tulfall , since the buff it outdamages void battery on charge stacker , even on ziggy's pob right there if you swap void battery for tulfall he gains 10% more damage ( swap lightning pen for trinity ofc) and freezes
Really every league huh? Is it a fast play-style?
But is it 1 div and tanky as trickster?
very nice video! thank you
What a nice build. Imma try it
Great video sir
Im interesting in trying this myself, just finished off my splitting steel champ but i dont enjoy it. Im a trickster guy at heart. I look forward to seeing where you go from here with this. I have the currency to invest too.
Trickster is so comfy, I'm a big fan too!
thank you very much mr D
Have you thought about swapping to Arc of Oscillating for better map clears? I'm running basically the same build and I'm not bossing fast at all but no real issues outside of the random one shots. Going to pick up surging to swap in for bosses.
Man I miss the Unarmed Facebreaker max block Gladiator. They nerfed the F out of blocking.
Thank you ziggyd, I found the transgem on merc lab, its not really what I wanted but I decided not to sell it since its only 10c back then.
Now your vid will make the price skyrocket to divs.... Hopefully :)
Why go Trickster over assassin?
Hi ZiggyD, thanks for your excellent work thru the years, I'm following U since the Tornado-ass build...even tough i quit POE for a few years. I m trying this build now and having a blast till now (LVL 50 in act 6) . for sure i miss something since i m having survaivability issues now. I have equipped all levelling unique gear you reccomand in POB notes (and Oath of maji allocated). What am I doing wrong ? Do i keep the levelling gear up to lvl 70ish?res are capped but chaos, also having mana issues using Shavronne Reveletion Ring. any advice would be greatly appreciated
Can anyone help me out pls_ i m missing something crucial as I keep being onshotted at lvl 59..
There are other power scaling option for (a lot) more than 1d.
Millitant faith with dominus keystone,
Crit multi charm (plus evasion per frenzy if possible)
a synth power ring with kalandra ring (crazy budget)
warlord helm with +1 power (can awaken with hunter lightning dmg)
Definitely outside of this budget scope though militant faith probably is pretty accessible as an early upgrade path. These are all big add ons for sure! Curse on hit tinctures on wanders is another interesting option I saw Jungroan using for a charge stacking wander.
thx for build is very good , pls post next up you build THX
I am using this power charge stacking now with my hierophant and mana stacking.
Because I thought: Why not stack both?
Meanwhile this video gets popular and the build is now 10 divine :))
Yra I sold 3x aarc of surging lvl 21 for 3 divine last night. See how much this changes that price.
Any leveling guide for new players?
it's crazy how you can get x10 damage with hydrosphere
Really good video
Could you go a bit more into depth about which order you'd pick the next couple of ascendancies in? If I remember correctly your POB mentions just doing what you feel like, but as a newcomer I have no idea what I'm feeling like.
Speedy one first. Then evasion / energy shield gearing node. Then energy shield leech and finally the damage per mastery. That's the route I took. 👍
Cheers!@@ZiggyDGaming
Hey Ziggy! Whats the rotation for this? My numbers are inconsistent and if a rare has hp regen etc, They just heal back up taking me forever.
For trash, I'm guess I just use naked Arc Surge, then for single target bosses, Hydro? I've spent a good few divines here but I think I'm missing something. My lightning arrow ranger was clearing maps so fast, but was a terrible bosser and squishy. Wanted this to be a happy medium.
For anything that is a bit tougher start with hrdosphere place, then swoosh it over them then arc the hydro. Once it's been placed you just keep swoosing it around to curse and debuff and shotgun from it. For anything really tough you use your extra curses. Assassin's mark with the mark mastery passive disables regen.
not to knock off the idea of the build/video but arc of surging is just not intended to have 50 bounces off hydrosphere and I'd wager to guess penance brand of dissipation is going to get a hefty nerf next league too so I would have personally have liked more if this was done on another skill
just for al-hasbeen i will tear my thumb and put it up XD
Didn't see the answer, but can someone explain why we have 2 arc's (ARC of Surging in the bodyarmor and vaal arc in the shield)
I used the unlinked Vaal arc to blow up weak packs and gain the arc damage is lucky buff which works across versions. It's just a budget setup, later you use a combined Vaal arc of surging or just a 21/20 arc of surging
The cheap uncorrupted uniques have gone way up in price and I dont see them coming down bc people are buying them like crazy just to corrupt.. a +1 charge on any of them is a few dozen divines at this point
It's fine and cheap to use corrupted, I did! Except for chest unless it's already 6linked. Bench linking corrupted 4 socket items is pretty cheap too.
My power charges become absorption charges and I have no damage how can i fix this?
Power charge stacking in general is pretty cracked this league. Especially because the league mechanic has depressed the price of uniques so much. I feel like the boots alone are a 5+ div unique in a normal league, but at 20c even a good corruption is cheap
nah they normally drop
I sold these boots for 6 div on day 2.
Thank god i bought some ralakesh boots before you made this video!
Did you craft your gloves?
I'm looking at POE trade and nothing in that ballpark shows up for anything below 2 div
how is this for bossing compared to penance brand of dissipation?
Doeqsn't compete at all. Requires positioning and waiting for chains. When I swapped to PB from arc I remembered how weak arc is as a skill. Not to mention brand has infinite clear. You won't see a single arc build under 200div that's clearing legion, brach or abyss quickly. Arc is just a wait for chains build.
I tried both on this exact same setup (swapping to appropriate gems and brand nodes of course). Penance was easier, and it's what I'd go for hardcore bossing but single target was worse at this budget. As long as you're happy to learn to position hydrosphere and use unleash it's really strong, I prefer it.
This said, penance brand is insane long term - it's certainly not a wrong choice.
How do you accumulate frenzy charges, or how am I misunderstanding the utility of badge of brotherhood?
Ralakesh boots means you always have Mac all charges 😉
What happened to the stream where this video was made? The vod ends with a stream disconnected screen and lot of confusion in the chat?
Power outage from storm, was out all day 😞
Hi Ziggy, just put this build together (level 87), feeling some slight mana issues - did you adjust anything to make things feel better?
Two mana nodes and the mastery for reduced costs. Unleash is really cheap on mana so it's usually only a problem from curse triggers on the brand, I find only if I put 2 brands down at once. Try to stick to one brand out or see if you can get some further.mana cost reduction.
@ZiggyDGaming know its cutting it close to leaguestart, but do you have any plans to see if this would be viable on league start?
They made it so it can't split all to the same target so it ded :'(
So all this was pointless?@@ZiggyDGaming
Is everything is pointless with the impending heat death of the universe? Might as well enjoy what you can while you can.@@alexviljam4891
have you considered militant faith? the more spell dmg per power charge is good and ralakeshs bypasses the downside
usable jewel goes for upwards of 1div. Im sure if you spent a lot of time wooping it youd be able to snipe one like 50c but most usable legion jewels are 1div+. Legion farmers just chuck them into dump 1 div or higher dump tabs.
So for the contraint of 1 div, gaining like 30% more dmg for your entire budget doesn't seem very practical.
@@MyNameIsSalo more for the minmaxxed version
I wouldn't say no tricks involved, making a build heavily based on uniques in this league is a budget trick in itself. The prices have hit absolute rock bottom for nearly all the previously expensive uniques. Which is great if you want to build fairly strong builds on a budget.
I was curious so I looked up this time last league for price comparison - they are a bit cheaper but actually not by that much: Ralakesh was only 40c at this point last league, void battery 20c, badge of brotherhood a bit more at 50-60c, graven's 5c and so on. You can see all this historical pricing info on PoEninja.
hmnn - im rly getting bored of this out controll market and think about give ssf a try for the first time
u think arc can work there? xD
can you do this build as witch?
Too be fair,1d in 3.23 is the same as 3d in other league
More like 1c :D
more like 5-10
arc alone is 3 divs :(, also surprised u didnt try to shove some way to get endurance charges mechanics for defense
Ralakesh boots?
@@daath912 i meant something that banefits from endurance, maybe the charm that adds all ele res per endurance
@@CssHDmonster maybe he has maxres wothout charms? ;) to be serious, it's a 1div challenge, I play ssf, so I don't know charm prices. Maybe to expensive?
How about changing "Powercharge on crit" with "Chain support" to get two additional beams?
Powercharge on crit is by far the best Support gem for a build like this
@@Zylosio Ok, thanks for the reply :)
My PoB wouldn't answer this question ;)
if not hydrospehere and arc of surging.. is there alternative skills i can use? aiming the hydrosphere is kinda difficult with controller :( im playing in steamdeck.
Any hit damage spell will work though if course they'll vary in effectiveness and you'll need to consider support gems and passive alterations to suit.
@@ZiggyDGaming hhmm penance of dissipation will work?
@@YakultLitro yep! Need brand nodes by Templar at least though and Phys to lightning support
@@ZiggyDGaming copy will try this one
restless ward 6l even corrupted is now 2 div :(
How can a new character earn a divine in no time at all? What do you mean farming essences or...all the other things?
Perhaps I should make a guide showing that sort of thing for people who arent quite familiar yet.
- Essence nodes on atlas passive tree = run white maps and pick up essences, and sell them a few at a time (or in bulk all at once). They sell really well even weeks into a league.
- Delve = get some suplhite in some maps and run your current level delves hitting currency nodes, fossils and any "contains fire/cold/minion/chaos/etc items" jewellery with curse on hit are worth a lot. Sell fossils and resonators in bundles for a bunch of currency really quickly.
- Heist = you pretty much just pick currency up while you progress the rogues, then later farm chase heist item types.
If you're brand new you may have to look into these things a little more, I'll ponder a guide to entry level currency making possibly.
Just do your atlas map after the campaign while also getting essence skill points. By doing that you will quickly and mindlessly get a divine pretty easily. Dont worry too much
Any recommendations to get around mana issues early on?
Enduring mana flask is a great solution earlier on
Where is the cold damage for shatters coming from?
Herald of ice
what is best build for delves?
ty
Armour stacker or mana stacker currently.
Thank, byt the way: WTT your 6 Links OFF-COLOR! chest for my 30 chaos in Affliction league, please :)
how are void batteries so cheap ?
which spectrum do you use?
is this still viable in 3.24?
Am I missing something or did I not look thoroughly enough?
As a newcomer I'm trying this build, at around lvl32 but I'm so lost.
No single target damage
Curses doesn't seem to stack?
Kill or spare bandits? (I killed them)
At level 32 you're not playing this build yet, you're just leveling an arc character. Anathema and power charge stacking is required for the multi curse. Single target damage comes when you get hydrosphere to split off of. Kill bandits always in modern PoE.
Cheers, thanks for the response :)@@ZiggyDGaming
I bought an Arc of Surging and started leveling it, now at lvl 39 with the first lab completed.
Excited to see how well this build works out for me :)
Second question; could you go a bit more into depth about which order you'd pick the next couple of ascendancies in? If I remember correctly your POB mentions just doing what you feel like, but as a newcomer I have no idea what I'm feeling like.@@ZiggyDGaming
Speed, evasion energy shield, energy leech then mastery damage nodes.
still working in 3.24 ?
arc what year is it 2012?
Ziggy can you post a 20-50 and an endgame geared version of this? atm with mb and so on.. but idk what build to do this got my eye
Why not Assassin? Because of tankiness?
Far tankier and still tons of dps to delete ubers. I think trickster is way more comfortable overall and cheaper to build too.
@@ZiggyDGaming Thanks, man. Cheers!
@@ZiggyDGaming just let you know, this is probably the tankiest build on trickster that i ever played. It puts Assassin to shame
Great job
uhm 1 divine, been 215c for a long time now,, so its more than a div ^^
You should roll a dice to pick the skill. You picked such an easy skill for 1div. Most items are cheap.
Bc it's a trash build that excels at nothing. Weak clear speed ( show me ANY arc build clearing legion or breach, I'll wait) and your boss dps is you just waiting for chains to build up. Penance Brand of Dissipation uses a similar tree +gear and it scales 10x better. Not to mention the skill has 100% uptime and doesn't require and positioning to work.
@@charlespanache7047 yeah pretty much.
@@charlespanache7047penance brand of dissipation is for sure getting nerfed next league tho.
Completely busted skill in terms of DPS compared to anything else.
What charm even sold for 35divs?
2% max fire res + adrenaline
Al-Hasbeen😂😂😂😂😂
Is this possible on elementalist?
Enki has some builds for Elementalist.
Phoenix too
15M burst damage on 1 Div budget? man my build has alot currency in it and not even 1M DPS lol
thats a fake 1 div budget.
the prices are fucked , ralakesh , badge and void battery are all high end items that usually cost each more than one divine
Not true. I was curious so I looked up this time last league for price comparison - they are a bit cheaper but actually not by that much: Ralakesh was only 40c at this point last league, void battery 20c, badge of brotherhood a bit more at 50-60c, graven's 5c and so on.
