Literally just made my first sanctum farmer character last night (also a hexblast miner!), and I've never ran a sanctum before, ever. Perfect video to watch while I finish levelling!
Hi, just wanted to know your thoughts on using the impossible escape jewel where ghost reaver is? Would you consider that an optimization for later on? I've seen a lot of builds using it for doom cast + explosive elements + devastating devices.
Always wondered the difference between the +3 pc from vb/malachais vs the +2 gem wand/+1 gem shield. Both seem to perform really well but void battery set up is orders of magnitude cheaper, so why do people do the +3 gem setup?
I've been league starting Sanctum now for a few leagues. It's been my favourite league start by far. I am going to practice this one and see how it goes. Thanks Ventrua
On average: how much more dmg is a power charge stacking setup with malachai and badge compared to one that focuses more on frenzies and the right side of the tree?
I looked at his endgame PoB for trickster hexblast at level 97 and I think he was at 45 million dps while this is 90 million dps at level 95 I think. I respecced from Trickster to this Assassin sanctum build starting at level 95 and I went from about 12 million to 80 million dps. Of course I was mapping and doing all sorts of content with Trickster versus just Sanctum with this build so far.
Thanks, was digging through the vods yesterday trying to follow your power charge character, and was scrubbing the vod for your AG setup, perfect timing BeerCat Cheers For those watching, this build, as well as the previous hexblast build are super solid. Thanks for the help for this league, I look forward to seeing what you cook up next league 🫡
@@Dane_law-t yes but it doesn't matter since u dont do maps if u made 1 character just for sanctum... u also gain exp in sanctum so yeah u can just lvl up in there while also making some currency.
@@Dane_law-t but this method will only work on someone who knows the ins and out of sanctum tho... who have success running it before... since sanctum is not easy tbh... u need to knw the layout of each floor and the mechanic in order to actually not waste ur chaos in buying tome and keep failing it.
wanna ask your opinion, is hexblast mine trickster gonna be nerfed in 3.26? im planning to do hexblast in next league as starter🥲, if nerfed what build do you recommended to play ? ty ventrua
Can't predict what GGG will do, but they didn't think they had to nerf this league and not much has changed so hopefully it will be still good. Hard to recommend anything without knowing the patch - just gotta check youtube when we actually have information
I league started on PConc and had few issues completing the atlas with it, but failed every second and third sanctum after switching to Rue's Sanctum PoB. The delayed damage and travel time is makes the skill trash for Sanctum imo.
I don't understand the design behind something like Sanctum spitting out so many raw divines, while also having one of the most valuable chase uniques.
It's basically one of the most "git gud" mechanics in poe though, no matter your gear you will eat shit in sanctum if you have no idea what you're doing
@@darkly7378 I mean, kinda? If you run a specialised build it doesn't take that much practice to confidently run Sanctum without dying to rares. Any experienced Sanctum runner can do l83 Sanctums with like 3-4k EHP and 10-15kk+ DPS without dying for 100+ runs in a row I'd imagine, as I could do that after less than half a week of practice.
@@DezZzO_YT i partially agree. With experience (and expensive items like mb) runs become more and more consistent. But "glass cannon" build (which peoples usually using for sanctum) will never be 100% safe. I done around 300 runs in past two weeks and sometimes you just dieing from off screen attack regardless.
I don't know how much time you want to invest in this thought but it would be amazing if you could make a league start POB/Vid that does what this video does but goes a wee bit more in depth in what items to buy in order and what upgrades are most important for people doing sanctum farming would be amazing when we get 3.26 if there was a league start guide for this build just meant for sanctum but this video is great since Ill probably just follow what you did here in 3.26 since I love me some sanctum
there are already pobs and guides in a similar way to what you are looking for out there. not this specific version ofc but most hexblast sanctum starter are close enough in what they do. they all want to check the same boxes
the magic relics you keep so you can simply invest in really good ones and sell after. would be crazy if the expensive relics that cost over 100div each are gone after every run xD magic relics are all upside and are there to make the run safer or indirectly more rewarding (with +2rooms revealed for example you have most of the map revealed already in 3 and 4 which means you can instantly spot the divine rewards and path to them without the risk of not finding the rooms) unique relics get consumed after every run and need to be bought again. they usually add an additional reward or modify how rewards work but add a certain challange to your sanctum to make it harder
@@xSWAGNIx gl! tested hexblast first and then 2 versions of PB and i will for sure start an energyblad PB next league for sanctum start. It was stupid how easily it cleared early sanctums on a 5c budget ^^
@@dirtymightmusic5239 im thinking of trying it aswell seems like energy blade is the best budget sanctum runner that can later on turn into PBrand if u wish .
You could not buy any but it only costs like 50c to get a basic relic setup and you will make that money back so fast by duplicating unique relics from Lycia
Going double relic is too good not to take it. They are cheap as you can successively upgrade them, and they have the best secondary stats to make the sanctum easier (max resolve on boss kill, inspiration on affliction, inc enemy dmg taken). If you factor in the chance to get Original Scripture they probably are also highest div/hour.
not using any relics is just shooting yourself in the foot. on leaguestart where they are a bit harder to get you can just slot in every relic you find yourself eventho they are no specific ones. if you upgrade your gear from the first 2-3sanctum runs you should be good to go when it comes to gear to not fail, after that i would invest in atleast a cheap relic strat so you get more rewards out of it.
I tried early mapping and got nowhere and rerolled immediately to sanctum with my trickster and I will never ever league start anything else again - sanctum ist just so safe to get your first 100 divines easily in a couple days
THIS. When Ventrua did this live I rerolled my warden to hexblast PF and made like 100 div in a day or two and told myself ill always start sanctum runners from here on out.
@@chs5321could you share your pob? I’m actully doing sanctum as shockwave totem hiero but I’m only 5mi dps and diying alot for blade guy and lyca’s beam (wind tunnel)
I am really interested to see how this will work out for me next league. I am pretty good at making currency and get my mageblood in week1 of every league with a different mapping strat every league to keep it interesting. Never done sanctum really so I did some test runs to get comfy with the mechanics and will leaguestart a Penance Brand char next league to see how fast I can grab that mageblood with sanctum only. Going to be interesting since everyone says sanctum is just crazy early on
@@dirtymightmusic5239 if you are really good at sanctum and get to 83s fast you can get to your mb in 2-3 days depending on playtime ofc. But it’s boring sadly the tinks make up for it tho ^^
TBH i dont rly understand sanctum .. never rly played it .. tried it thise league league like 3 times ... and always failed miserably XD got once to lycia or how is that B called and my whole resolve got obliterade in once sec XD
Sanctum is very build dependant, if you are new to it, you are probably gonna have a rough time with a build that wasn't made for Sanctum but with the right build (like hexblast or pennance brand) it can become very trivial

Return of THE Ventrua 😃
Hi, just wanted to know your thoughts on using the impossible escape jewel where ghost reaver is? Would you consider that an optimization for later on? I've seen a lot of builds using it for doom cast + explosive elements + devastating devices.
For me you're a HC player Vent (ssf or not). I love watching your content for that. In the end, do whatever you want
would love to see PBoD on a challange like this next time!
I have been meaning to give that skill a try, so it might happen but don't expect another sanctum challenge soon
Always wondered the difference between the +3 pc from vb/malachais vs the +2 gem wand/+1 gem shield. Both seem to perform really well but void battery set up is orders of magnitude cheaper, so why do people do the +3 gem setup?
Great video bro ❤
in this the realm of the garf i am king and you will meow
What does garf mean?

Garf I assume one of the 2 minefields is supposed to be charged mines, lil oversight there.
also as always top-tier content from THE Ventrua
I fixed that, thanks

What characters did you play so far in Sanctum?
it'd be nice if you could upload the full vod on YT as twitch has deleted it already. perhaps make it unlisted and provide link in description.
thanks
thank ventru for the build, you made me like sactum a lott!!
have you considered uploading your vods on yt? I tried to watch on twitch but it's deleted already :(

I always wondered about league start sanctum, how do you sustain tomes? Especially in ssf? Or is that not possible?
You don't sustain them in SSF, in trade you can just buy them, they are quite available even early on
I league started on PConc and had few issues completing the atlas with it, but failed every second and third sanctum after switching to Rue's Sanctum PoB. The delayed damage and travel time is makes the skill trash for Sanctum imo.
AG setup explanation please?

@@DezZzO_YTyou will eat it regardless. One rare mob with bad rolls can end your entire run in 0.1 second.

wich ascendancy is better overall for running sanctum with hexblast mines, occ ou assassin ?
I think if you already have currency to make the character, Occultist is probably slightly better
Ive never done sanctum, so sorry for a stupid question. You never touch maps then? How do you get your tomes initially?
Just buy them, this was a trade league project
I put phase run on automation and losted 24% more damage bc I forgot phase run eats frenzy charges 😂😐
I saw a chains of command sanctum runner build its pretty confortable, better in the long run but i dont think you can league start with it.
You mad lad!

vod should still be up
Go watch his 3.25 hexblast leaguestart vid, it's basically all you need
there are already pobs and guides in a similar way to what you are looking for out there. not this specific version ofc but most hexblast sanctum starter are close enough in what they do. they all want to check the same boxes
Agreed with Riky - go watch ventrua's VOD for it, if it's still up.
is this build specifically for Sanctum?
do you lose relics after each run or what exactly ? this part i don't get about sanctum didn't do sanctum at all
the magic relics you keep so you can simply invest in really good ones and sell after. would be crazy if the expensive relics that cost over 100div each are gone after every run xD
magic relics are all upside and are there to make the run safer or indirectly more rewarding (with +2rooms revealed for example you have most of the map revealed already in 3 and 4 which means you can instantly spot the divine rewards and path to them without the risk of not finding the rooms)
unique relics get consumed after every run and need to be bought again.

@@dirtymightmusic5239 thank you for explaining making a penBrand hope things go smoothly.
Non-unique relics you keep. Unique relics are consumed.

Is it viable to not buy relics at the beginning?
Would you get enough in not so much time ?

Stayed quant the entire time, felt solid honestly especially considering how cheap it was to get a basic relic setup going
Could you include your AG gear in the pobs for the more newer players
Leer cast, Dying Breath, Legacy of Fury, Grukthuls pelt, gloves with lightning res

As an SSF enjoyer, I disagree! SSF content is my favorite ❤️
I get it tho, we make up a small portion of the playerbase/viewership.
