I would like to make a character just for running my Blighted maps. Does anyone have any recommendations for builds? I have 4.5 EX and 220~ chaos to spend.

Righteous Fire has been the best experience I've had so far with Blight. You just kinda become a flame turret.

Ed/Cont is also supposedly good at blight, but lmao I could never figure it out.

rf may be the worst blight build out there, you can't damage bosses fast enough to kill them before they swarm the pump.

Check out the minion builds from Thegam3report1 on YouTube. He makes all his money from blight each league and makes builds that can basically afk regular blight maps.

This is exactly it. Carrion golem builds let you afk most blight maps once you get like two towers set up.

Anyone done CF Duelist this league? I need to re-roll; hard to do damage as a CP Totem Chieftain when your totems get nuked before they can get a slam in. I know how to play it (might do the Champion version this time around), just concerned about single target, especially as this is a bossing league.

Awesome idea, but it was so wrong on mine I don't know where to start. I thinks I've got Treant, Innocence touched, and no Brine King, and the reality is the exact opposite.

They reach 0 HP, obviously. :v:

Real answer: Low totem placement speed and no investment in their defenses means it's easy for them to get nuked before they can bop anyone. There are passives to fix that...at the expense of their offense, which isn't all that great (granted, still on a 5L, but a 6L isn't going to magically double my damage).

Pretty sure you meant ilvl 68. # of passive criteria is the full range since I don't know if you want the min or max number of passives.

then just fill in the ilvl (you can change max to 5 passives to avoid the extra point)

Anyone playing an ignite build and can report back? I've been seeing some scuttlebutt (mostly on r/pathofexilebuilds) that Arc Ignite is disgusting? Just curious how it rates on clear/single target/tank. I'm playing Absolution and I'm pretty much done, it's a great build but now I wanna do some zoom zoom

ignite has been extremely good for the past few leagues now and there's a couple of different ways you can do it. explosive arrow ignite totems is the popular one this league and for good reason, but arc ignite is a decent choice as well though with less top end damage and far faster clear.

you're locked into playing Witch if you go that route. all three ascendancies have their own brand of ignite with elementalist being the most flexible and strongest.

CF duelist is solid tanky map clear, with merely ok bossing. Keeping mine as a low level speed mapper, but you can do lots to up the damage. I used my initial cash to fund my first rf build in years, and kept the physdot guy geared in case poo poo sucks.

Gladiator is better clear, champ is tankier. Use RueToo's levelling guide. The mature build uses poet's w exsang, reap and shield, but you can stay slinger or go over to spellbow cf with tornado shot. One way to get boss dps up there is by pseudo 2x 5l by adding selfcast reap into your cf links - this also has the benefit of reducing cf life cost. Otherwise you may need the betrayal focus zero skillcost craft

edit: there is a link to the google doc and pob in Ziz's video so you don't have to dig through poo poo, because listening to Rue talk is psychic violence

Leaguestarted it, mostly based off Havoc's version. It's been slow going in terms of progression mechanics, since the single target damage just isn't there even on a decent bow (T1 Lightning / T1 Aspd / +1 Arrow). Absolutely annihilates maps and folds like a cheap chair even with the determ/grace/defiance package. Given what you're looking for, you'll probably have a good time - it's zoomy and evaporates normal monsters.

this is usually the trouble i run into when i try to roll a deadeye is that the focus is almost entirely clear focused unless you're doing something like spectral helix, which can solve all of your damage problems thanks to nightblade being extremely strong.

I’m probably going to pick it back up (deadeye) in a few weeks after I build out the atlas and get some money for a bow

Killed story mode eater of worlds last night blind with only 2 deaths, both to not getting the balls right. Fun fight, interesting, poo poo boots.

Bricked Searing Exarch with 10% health left, should've grabbed a culling strike. The fight seems cool, good, but that ball phase is some bullshit. I had wither totems but my cast speed is so low that it wasn't an effective strategy for blowing up balls. I'd hate to have to itemize for cast speed so I can do that fight. But I could also just not do that fight, right?

Placement speed doesn't speed up the initial totem spawn animation, so they don't get their first attack off earlier. It only affects how quickly you can spam them.

Actually this is spectral helix omniscience (claims 12m DPS) but I bet you could shuffle some stuff around and come up with a pretty good bow build

Oh, it's the cooldown of the skill, so attack speed would speed up how quickly they can get to slamming.

it would be pretty hard to do so because these builds take advantage of nightblade for massively juicing crits, plus a lot of the dps comes strictly from how spectral helix performs

Anyone else running into a thing where sometimes the descriptions of map mods, while in the map, are all smashed together horizontally? It's only kind of funny for the map mods themselves, but it also does the same thing to the choices you make for Syndicate capture/execute/etc., which is...less funny.
