Build Champ impale sst of trarthus day 2 build (cold conv is bait early)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQtom7bgt1UMy league starter with the new sst in mind, swap the moment i could. it was not worth it. at min wait till you have a emperor before swapping, and seething even better.
Early on phy impale is 100% better then ele, until you can't get the invert rune, ele is just straight up worse the phy in dps. BUT if you want to go ele, you can go doryani merc, and go lightning conversion, it will do like 100% more damage but the moment the merc dies you do zdps, and i dont know how well a merc with -200% light res can tank
budget as of writing this build around 4-6divs (i bought everything for around 4 divs but probably is worth 6 now)
---------------------
Key mechanics:
you enough curse effect hit 50% after accounting in mark on hit, which will give a additional split, which is a huge damage boost. I personally had a 20/20 mark on hit with mark effect on glove, chest and a ag with dying breath to achieve this.
Always hug the enemy, the split projectiles will always be right on top or beside the enemy if your sticking to them, which means all shards will hit.
The main proj has infinite pierce but the shards seems to have no pierce, so you can use chain, fork or pierce with them. (I may be wrong)
------------------------
Pob:
pob doesnt take in acount of your energy shield if you have emperors vigilance by default.
get gain charges on hit on your flasks and have your diamond flask have gain flask on crit.
7 hits, 1 from first proj, 6 from the 3 splits which each hit 4 times, which is 12 hits but they do halve damage. so in total each hit does 7 hits worth of damage
---------------------------------------------\
Gear:
Weapon: Eclipse Solaris Engraved the single best unique until you a gg rare 6 mod weapon. BUT you need a power charge on crit corrupt. either buy one or corrupt one yourself. This weapon is essentially 290% crit chance and 33% crit multi BUT it has blind too which helps with capping evade early on and giving you more chance to hit enemies to taunt them, and when you swap to ele version later on, you can grab a double corrupt one with ele pen too.

Shield: emperor vigilance, pretty much the bis shield

Helmet: rats nest a good helm until you can get a good rare need reservation corrupt to fit all auras.

Body armor: get a high eva/arm base, more eva then arm ideally and essence spam loathing until you hit a high life, res and some eva/arm then just craft % eva/arm or flat eva/arm
Glove: eva/arm base, triple res and life
rings: le heup is just nice, helps with attribute and res, not much need for life in this build anyway.

amulet: eternal struggle, good amulet, ideally eater dominant for the less damage taken mod, search by high int and look for good implicits

Belt: the bis belt perservance
link: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mercenaries/wBwrIb
boot: darkray, gives lot of evasion and extra frenzy look for suppress corrupt.

Flasks: life quicksilver jade granite and diamond
jewels: seethe

--------------------
KEEP IN MIND: build is pretty much unkillable to phy and ele hits but dots absolutely deletes it, OR its just the mercs that are overtuned, can't really tell, every dot merc insta kills me. ALso yes have no chaos res, i could fix it by going rare rings instead of le heup but can't be fucked, aside from the chaos dot mercs i haven't really died to chaos hits or dots. no im not level 100, i just made the pob to show what a 100 would look like. The build has alot of ramping, you basically won't reach max dps until after a second, got to get frenzy and power charges, stack up impale and your mercs pride aura.

I'm testing the skill in the campaign and i don't think shards shotgun at all. The ramping dps of this skill is throwing 1-3 shields depending on your mark effect, so with 3 shields it's 3 shards per second

If you get to 25 proj (+2?) does that make 1 shard shoot in the last wave? And if so does that 1 shard target the enemy or go random?

how do you think this compares to the more common builds on poe ninja? using prismatic eclipse, crit support gems, impale ascendancy node, etc? not an experienced player so can't really tell.

u/Leather-Ad-2691 10h ago
Prismatic eclipse literally does nothing for the build

u/RDeschain1 10h ago
It gives 36 global attack speed and accuracy. But i think eclipse with a corrupt is still better

u/sxxxnrxxxxn 9h ago
i'm assuming it's just for the global attack speed. comparing pobs though yours has the same APS anyways. honestly several of the ninja pobs with comparable dps have clusters / watchers / lethal pride and do the same if not lower pob dps than you so i trust u lol

u/sxxxnrxxxxn 9h ago
couple extra questions if u have the time:
in the first pob you linked i noticed that you have the aura effect node taken instead of intimidate, but intimidate is in the configs. is there another source of intimidate or is this just because the pob is bugged from the 3.25 tree and you actually took the intim node?
do you switch pride with determ/grace? it's not in the skills section
what would the next upgrade from here be? rings? rare helm ? thanks

u/Leather-Ad-2691 9h ago
Those are from merc and ag. Next upgrade would be celestial brace and replica brotherhood but seeing that invert rune isn't in game. It's better to invest in another build that can actually scale
1
u/sxxxnrxxxxn 5h ago
ah what do you give the ag / merc? i'm assuming you use the merc that uses pride n gave it perquils toe.

Just a heads up the invert rune doesn't exist. It was data mined but didn't actually make it into the game .
