THE INSANE BOSS ANNIHILATION BUILD AKA THE ANCESTRAL DEMOLISHER


Little Background Information about myself & the build

Hi my name is Anderson i'm from Taiwan. I'm a PoE Veteran that has been playing the Marauder class for 4 years and mostly building around melee base skills as melee has always been a favorite play style for me over spells. I've spent over 290+/PLAYED DAYS in investing and developing strong end game melee base builds throughout my 4 years in PoE. The following build you are about to look at is a 2h staff crit based build that is extremely versatile allowing you to utilize every possible aoe melee skills gems available in Path of Exile. The build prioritizes using several defensive and offensive mechanism to make this build viable. With that said I'll first explain couple of important defensive mechanism as defensive mechanism is what make builds viable and efficient. First you will be taking a 2h staff passive tree node on that tree that allows you to generate endurance charges on crit. Second with constant endurance charges uptime we will utilize immortal call to prevent high incoming physical damage, which includes Blood Rage degeneration, corrupting blood, Physical Reflect, high physical boss attacks, and much more. Last we will be using the item (Acuity Vaal Gaunlets), which allows you leech back life instantly on crit allowing to self sustain and facetank most bosses in game. Other defensive stuff such as resistance and auras will be mention elsewhere on the guide. The offensive part of this build focuses on high critical strike chance, high critical strike multiplier, and high attack speed. One of the main items for the build is the Abysuss Ezomyte Burgonet Helm, which dramatically give you a crazy amount of dps as it has the implicit mod of 225% crit multiplier. The only down side is taking the huge physical damage debuff. The other alternative is the Rat's nest, which is also viable. This concludes for most part about the build further information will be explained further in the guide.

PRIMARY ATTACK CHOICE & BREAK DOWN OF THE SKILLS

SWEEP SETUP


Spoiler




Sweep is an all rounder and the prefered skill for this guide. Sweep provides good AOE coverage mediorce single target best for leveling and has an A++ scaling with the implicit mod of increase area of effect and an average of an B scaling with no increase aoe implicit mod






GROUNDSLAM SETUP

Spoiler




Ground Slam could potentially be good if you are not prioritizing aoe on your gear as it has the high base aoe range on the skill gem. For bossing groundslam is not a bad alternative, though generally there are other aoe melee skills out there right now in this current patch that outscales groundslam. Though groundslam is still viable and could be enjoyable for some players. In conclusion of a B+ scaling skill





EARTHQUAKE SETUP

Spoiler

Setup 1.



Setup 2.


WITH

+



The most played. The most well known melee skill. Earthquake. Yes earthquake as you know it is the current meta melee skill, however there are couple of down sides using earthquake as the main primary skill for this build. The build priotize high crit multiplier and when you are facing a reflect pack or mob when youi cast earthquake the aftershock (DOES NOT) apply leech, thus it can potentially be quite dangerous, though for me i really had no trouble using this skill because i had the (RIGHT) setup and (RIGHT) flask usages. Overall this skills is an S+ scaling really on most aspect of the chart graph.




SUNDER SETUP

Spoiler

Setup.



Sunder is a skill, which most players look aside though it does have some potential in trash clearing it is not recommend generally. The thing that could be possibly good with sunder at this current patch and meta is for leveling and single target bossing as sunder has a base range that does not change no matter how you tune around with ur area of effect and works quite well with concentrated effect. In conclusion of C scaling spell



ICE CRASH SETUP

Spoiler


Setup.



Before Earthquake came out Icecrash was the meta , though it could be viable it is not really recommended unless you are playing as the berserker where you could leech elemental physical damage. Using this spell could be quite dangerous against ele reflect mobs. Ice crash however has an extremely high base damage that could also potentially be great as a bossing skill though right now this skill has a B- scaling
 





(NOT RECOMMENED) BUT COULD BE VIABLE


Spoiler

Setup.



Cyclone one of the most nerfed melee skill in Path of Exile. Yes the nerf is horrible i know :( however it's still quite a viable spell depending how you gear towards it. Cyclone is extremely powerful for single target and has great aoe damage, but it's radius is quite hideous without +weapon range or an huge amount of increase area of effect. For this build is only viable with slayer as slayer subclass node provides a huge amount of aoe subclass nodes. Cyclone could be an S+ scaling for both aoe and single target if only you have +weapon range and an insane amount of increase area of effect. Overall without any of those it could be only useful for single target and not a very efficient spell to farm with this build. In conlusion of C+ without any implicit modl

JEWELS INFORMATION (VERY IMPORTANT) (READ)



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOU WANT A STRONG BUILD? YOU NEED GOOD JEWELS

(JEWELS STATS TO LOOK FOR) (LISTING FROM MOST IMPORTANT (TOP) LEAST IMPORTANT (BOTTOM)
-LIFE
-ATTACK SPEED WITH STAFF(TOP DPS STAT FOR THIS BUILD MOST BENEFIT & MOST DPS BOOST )
-ATTACK SPEED
-DAMAGE -( A DAMAGE % THE INCREASE DMG IN ALL ASPECTS ON THE BUILD REALLY OP)
-CRITICAL MULTIPLIER
-CRITICAL CHANCE (ONLY IF NOT CAPPED WITH POWER CHARGES) (95% Crit chance cap)
-PHYSICAL DAMAGE /2 HANDED PHYSICAL DAMAGE/ PHYSICAL DAMAGE WITH STAFF
-RESISTANCE (IF YOU NEED TO CAP YOUR RESISTANCE TO 75%)
-MELEE DAMAGE
-AREA DAMAGE
-ATTACK SPEED /CAST SPEED
-ACCURACY (ONLY IF YOUR CHANCE TO HIT IS BELOW 90%)
-DEXTERITY (FOR SKILL GEMS IF NEEDED BUT NOT MANDATORY TO GET BLOOD RAGE LEVEL 20)


(THING TO REMEMBER DO NOT USE JEWELS SLOTS THAT REQUIRES YOU TO SPEND 3 TALENT POINTS IF THE JEWEL DOES NOT CONSIST OF A LIFE MODE)
= GOOD FOR JEWELS SLOTS THAT COST 3 TALENT SPECS.
= BAD for 3 TALENT POINTS.

JEWELS ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE BUILD IF YOUR JEWEL DOES NOT CONSIST OF LIFE ONLY SPEND THE POINTS ON JEWELS SLOTS THAT ONLY COST 2 TALENT POINTS.







----------------------------------------------

LIKE IT LEARN IT LOVE IT (INFO ABOUT EQUIPMENTS)

。GET MORE LIFE - When specing into the talent tree priotize life. Life is also important on gear but it's very limited on how much you can get with the build.

。CAPPED YOUR RESISTANCES (VERY VERY IMPORTANT) - if you can manage to get 125% resist of all elements from all your geared combined you are good to go. 75% fire/cold/lightning resistance are your goal. You don't have to hit it instantly, but if you're dying in cruel/merciless and have negative resistances, you know what you got to do.

。PRIORITIZE ARMOR BASE(if not speced into IRON REFLEXES) - armor is the most beneficial stats for this build as wearing the Abysuss will significantly increase the physical damage you take, nevertheless armor can and will save your life.

。DEXTERITY- Depending on your setup, you'll want up to 155 DEXTERITY You can save valuable nodes by optimizing your equipment. Dexterity mainly for (blood rage, vaal haste, vaal grace, and GRACE

。ACCURACY- at least 300 accuracy on gear is recommended to make all 4 variations of the build viable. you should have at least 90% hit chance mid-late game

。MANA LEECH- 0.25-0.4% NEEDED ONLY (IF YOUR NOT PLAYING THE BERSERKER VERSION) you need mana leech from either gear, jewels, or the talent tree

  (ASCENDANCY CHOICES & VARIATIONS)

    TOP TIER VERSION:BERSERKER & SLAYER






BERSERKER VERSION









(THE CONCEPT OF THE BERSERKER BUILD)


THE BERSERKER VARIATION OF THIS BUILD IS VERY POWERFUL AND SOMETHING TO NOT LOOK ASIDE. THE BERSERKER OVERALL IS AN HACK & SLASH MONSTROSITY THAT LEAPS INTO THE FRAY AND WREAK HAVOC UPON ITS ENEMIES THE SETUP WILL OVERALL SIGNIFICANTLY HAVE A LARGER DPS AND LIFE POOL THEN THE JUGGERNAUT THAT IS ABLE TO SOAK A GREATER AMOUNT OF DAMAGE WHILE UTILIZING CLOAKED IN SAVGERY TO NEGATE THE INCOMING DAMAGE LEECHING IT BACK INSTANTLY. THE BERSERKER PROVIDES EVERY STATS NEEDED ON A DPS FOCUSED BUILD. TO PREVENT ITS DRAW BACKS FROM ASPECT OF CARNAGE TAKING IN 10% DAMAGE WE COULD USE 1 DEFENSIVE AURA WHILE THE JUGGERNAUT UTILIZES 2 DPS AURAS THIS BUILD EVEN WITHOUT ANY DPS AURAS WILL HAVE A HIGHER DPS THEN THE JUGGERNAUT . VERSION. THE BERSERKER VARIATION FOR THIS BUILD IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL YOU WILL NOT LACK DPS AT ALL

-SQUISHIEST OF THE 4 VARIATIONS
- NOT A HC VIABLE VERSION









The savage path is always swift and sure.........




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------






JUGGERNAUT (VERSION)






(THE CONCEPT OF THE JUGGERNAUT)


The Juggernaut asendancy variation of this is build has great pontential in playing into a safer and tankier route comparing to the berserker. Although it does not reach the dps even with mirrored gear to the berserker the Juggernaut offers absolute power and supremacy in playing as the tank role or the tank version of this build. Before I created this guide playing juggernaut was what i started off with till i reached level 98 and did further testing with the Berserker. As playing the juggernaut you are able to generate endurance charges from the staff talent tree smashing strikes, then combine with the juggernaut passive unrelenting you are almost always able to main your max endurance charges making you almost completely immune to physical damage. Considering this build is leaning towards more on dps then defense with the 2 passive it provides everything thing you need to mitigate high incoming physical damage. The juggernaut also offer additional subclasses nodes which makes your character completely immune to character disability, which many thing such as stun, slow, and freeze leads many players in poe to there death. The juggernaut is powerful as is the berserker they both have there up and downs and both variations really depends on the player preference in terms of playing the game.








BANDITS:
KILL ALL, 1 talent point
KILL ALL, 1 talent point
HELP OAK, 1 endurance charge

1 from oak and 1 from JUGGERNAUT: UNFLINCHING SUBCLASS NODE

JUGGERNAUT: UNRELENTING SUBCLASS NODE: 6% Increase Damage Per Endurance Charge
8% reduce elemental Damage taken at Max Endurance Charges
(IF YOU WOULD GAIN ENDURANCE CHARGES, YOU INSTEAD GAIN UP TO YOUR MAXIMUM ENDURANCE CHARGES)
LASTLY (YOU ONLY NEED) 0.2%-0.4% MANA LEECH ON EITHER JEWELS OR GEAR OR SPECING INTO THE MANA/LIFE LEECH TREE IN DUELIST AREA






FEATS OF THE VERSION:
-DISABLE IMMUNITY,
- HIGH DEFENCE,
- HIGH IMMORTAL CALL UPTIME
- EXTREMELY VERSATILE (allowing to you play with ANY melee aoe skill gems in POE)
- TANKY
-HIGH DPS FOR TANKY BUILD

-REFLECT IMMUNITY
-CAN REALLY DO ANY MAP MODS

-COULD BE HC VIABLE by switching abysuss to starkonja's head silken hood and specing into iron reflexes
- EXTREMELY FUN TO PLAY DUE TO ITS FLEXIBILITY AND EFFICIENCY

CONS:
- Lowest damage of the 4 variations
- require life/mana leech from either talent tree or gear








What divides the conqueror to the conquered? Perseverance..........









---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



(SLAYER VERSION)






(CONCEPT OF THE SLAYER ALTERNATIVE)


The slayer alternative of the build offers you to invest as much dps as you possibly can while not worrying such things as physical reflect or getting hit by something hard. The Slayer playstyle offers a ranged based melee kind of playstyle as the slayer offers 2 incredible subclass aoe node that provides the maximum aoe radius of 40% and with the total of 130% from gear and the aoe wheel near the Templar tree. With such incredibly high aoe radius you are able to kill most enemies afar and allows you to have more aoe coverage then any other range or known aoe builds out there. One of the mains skills for slayer will be utilizing the skill gem "sweep" (360aoe radius). Secondly a slayer subclass node "Headsman" negates incoming reflect physical damage by 50%, which enables you maximize as much physical dps you want allowing you to wear things such as the abysuss as reflect damage will not be a problem. Lastly with a staff crit node on the tree (Smashing strikes) you are able to constantly generate endurance charges without warcrys, which enables you to be tankier and use immortal call without self casting enduring cry itself. Another noticeable problems with the other variations of the build people face is buying the end game item (Acuity Gauntlets) as acuity gauntlets solves reflect problems while having incredibly high crit multiplier. With the slayer variation of the build you do not need the gloves at all as the slayer subclass node "Headsman" reduce 50% physical reflect damage taken.




BANDIT:
KILL ALL
KILL ALL
+1 ENDURANCE CHARGE

SUBCLASS NODES

IMPACT:SINGLE-target melee attacks deal splash damage to surrounding enemies 50% less damage to surrounding targets 15% increase aoe radius for skills


BANE OF LEGENDS:Gain Onslaught for 20 seconds when you Kill a Rare or Unique Enemy Kill enemies that have 20% or lower life when Hit by your Skills



Headsman: 50% reduced Reflected Physical Damage taken 20% more damage if you've Killed Recently 20% increased Radius of Area Skills if you've Killed Recently


Endless Hunger: 20% of Overkill Damage is Leeched as Life Life Leech effects are not removed at Full life




FEATS OF THE VERSION:

- PHYSICAL REFLECT (IMMUNITY WITHOUT ACUITY GUANLETS)
-INSANE GODLIKE MAP CLEAR SPEED (BETTER THEN BERSERKER/JUGGERNAUT)
-EXTREMELY HIGH DPS
- CAN REACH MAXIMUM 130% AOE RADIUS
-- CAN GO SO INSANELY HIGH ON PHYSICAL DAMAGE BECAUSE OF -50% PHYSICAL DAMAGE REDUCTION FROM SUBCLASS NODE
- MELEE BUILD TURNED INTO A RANGED RADIUS BUILD DUE TO INSANE AOE RADIUS COVERAGE
-TANKING MOST BOSS FIGHTS WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM
- CAN REPLACE AOE SKILL GEMS FOR SKILLS GEMS LIKE (CON EFFECT) SINCE FREE 40% AOE RADIUS FROM SUBCLASS NODE
- CONSTANT ENDURANCE CHARGES WITHOUT WARCRY FROM CRITING WITH (STAFF)
-AN EXTREMELY FAST PACED MAP CLEAR BUILD (VERY EFFICIENT IN TERMS OF PROGRESS AND LEVELING)
- EXTREMELY FUN TO PLAY DUE TO ITS FLEXIBILITY AND EFFICIENCY
-CAN REALLY DO ANY MAP MODS
- EXTREMELY VERSATILE (allowing to you play with ANY melee aoe skill gems in POE)

CONS:
-requires mana/life leech from gear or talent tree
-when it comes to fighting uber & malachai some of subclass passive becomes useless
- Requires carcass jack to maximize the potential of the slayer variation






No Judge. No Jury. Just the executioner.





---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(CHAMPION VERSION)






THE CONCEPT OF THE CHAMPION


With the Champion introduced into the guide it opens up as hybrid elite damage dealer and a solid tank, while giving beneficial auras to your allies. Playing as the champion comparing to the other variations of build tends to fit inbetween the balance between offence and defense. The champions offer a safer and overall tankier gameplay as the juggernaut and could be viable for Hardcore gameplay. The champion overall is another reward class to play and one of the most dps/defense balanced asendancy class out there for this build you could possibly find.




BANDITS:
KILL ALL
KILL ALL
+1 ENDURANCE CHARGE

FORTITUDE:YOU HAVE FORTIFY


UNSTOPABLE HERO:10% Increase Fortify Effect 10% attack speed while you have Fortify
8% Movement Speed while you have Fortify


FIRST TO STRIKE LAST TO FALL:30% increased Damage when not on Low life 100% increased ARmour and Evasion Rating when on Low Life Status Ailments are removed wehn you reach Low Life


INSPIRATIONAL:You and nearby Allies deal 30% increased Damage
You and nearby Allies have 5% increased Movement Speed








Champion that which you love. He who fights for nothing. Dies for nothing.

KEY ELEMENTS/STRATEGY FIGHTING END GAME BOSSES (IMPORTANT READ)


FIGHTING MALACHAI, THE NIGHTMARE


FIGHTING A TIER 15 CORE MALACHAI IS WAY HARDER THEN MERCILESS MALACHAI IT REQUIRES SOME EXPERIENCE KNOWING HIS ATTACKS AND WHAT HIS PHASES ARE.

THE HARD PHASE

1. AFTER ENTERING THE PIT YOU WILL THEN FACE MALACHAI AGAIN AT FULL HP BE SURE TO REMEMBER STEPS 1-4 FROM THE BEGINNING AS IT STILL APPLIES

2. THERE WILL BE TRAPS ON THE FLOOR THAT DOES (FIRE DAMAGE) THERE"S JUST NO WAY YOU CAN DODGE EVERYTHING BE SURE IF YOU READY TO STEP ON A FEW ON THEM (YOUR AT FULL HP) THEN IMMEDIATELY START LEECHING YOUR LIFE BACK ATTACKING MALACHAI.

3. (MINI PHASE) MALACHAI WILL TURN IMMUNE TO DAMAGE THEN INSTANTLY TELEPORT TO A HEART YOU MUST DESTROY THE HEART IN ORDER TO DEAL DAMAGE TO MALACHAI AGAIN.

4. MALACHAI WILL NOW BE VULNERABLE AGAIN (NOTE AFTER THE FIRST MINI PHASE ZOMBIES WILL SPAWN TO LET YOU RECHARGE YOUR FLASK AND LEECH SOME HP BACK UTILIZE THESE MOBS TO LEECH YOUR LIFE AND GAIN FLASK CHARGES BACK UP

5. (MINI PHASE 2) MALACHAI WILL TURN IMMUNE TO DAMAGE AGAIN THEN INSTANTLY TELPORT THE 2ND HEART LOCATION YOU MUST DESTROY THE HEART IN ORDER TO DEAL DAMAGE TO MALACHAI AGAIN.

6. MALACHAI WILL BE VULNERABLE - START DPSING

7. (LAST PHASE-DANGEROUS)
MALACHAI WILL TURN IMMUNE AGAIN AND TELEPORT TO THE LAST HEART LOCATION WHERE YOU MUST DESTROY IT. (NOTE ONCE HE TELEPORTS TO THE HEART LOCATION A HELL BLAZING FIERY RED CIRCLE WILL APPEAR BELOW YOU (THAT FOLLOWS YOU) IT DEALS % FIRE DAMAGE OVERTIME YOU MUST DESTROY THE HEART FAST OR LEAP AWAY AND LURE THE FIERY CIRCLE AWAY THEN DESTROY THE HEART.

8. AFTER THE HEART IS DESTROYED YOU THEN WILL BE ABLE TO FULLY KILL MALACHAI WITH ALL THE BULLSHIT THINGS GOING AROUND IN THE MAP (BEST OF LUCK).


(NOTE YOU CAN TANK MALACHAI EMERGE BLAST AND VOLL SMASH IF (ONLY) YOU HAVE YOUR IMMORTAL CALL UP MAKING YOU COMPLETELY IMMUNE TO THE PHYSICAL DAMAGE IT DOES, BUT IT'S QUITE RISKY UNLESS UR GREAT WITH TIMING HIS ATTACKS






FIGHTING ATZIRI THE QUEEN OF VAAL




(HOW TO CLEAR THE ALLURING ABYSS -UBER ATZIRI):



(FIGHTING THE DOUBLE VAAL VOSS)

In order to fight the first boss is very fairly simple is not complicated at all.
1. Boss will emerge after couple of seconds be sure to drop you Ancestral Warchief down or if your not running warchief pop your flask just a second before it emerges. You have to kill these two bosses as fast as possible this is because if you take too long they will start bursting you with spells after 5-10seconds. Be sure to dodge the Vaal Smash it is very poweful it will one hit you completely just leap away then leap back and it will be probably dead by then.


(FIGHTING THE TRIO BEFORE REACHING UBER ATZIRI)
Most people mess up in this phase, thus end up dying. The strategy is actually very simple.

(THE TRIO BOSS IS PURE 100% PHYSICAL DAMAGE, HOWEVER THE BLACK MIST DAMAGE MITIGATION IS ONLY EFFECTED FROM ENDURANCE CHARGE PHYSICAL DAMAGE MITIGTAION CREATED BY THE FEMALE MISCREATION)

1. Kill the two MALE miscreations first
-enrages

2. Kill the (FEMALE MISCREATION LAST)

(NOTE AFTER YOU KILL THE TWO MALE MISCREATIONS THE FEMALE MISCREATION WILL BE VERY POWERFUL STAY OUT OF THE BLACK MIST IF POSSIBLE KEEP UR FORTIFY UP WITH LEAP SLAM GET OUT OF HER RAIN OF ARROWS (PHYSICAL DMG) IF POSSIBLE OR TRY TO DPS HARD GET YOUR ENDURANCE CHARGE UP AND GET PERMANENT IMMORTAL CALL.

YOU DONT HAVE TO YELL
Finally a strong 2h crit build
Taking photo's of his screen instead of actual screenshots like a champ!
Seems like a decent build though, gonna give it a go.
Lol I can blame that to my stupid BOOTCAMP WINDOWS ON MAC not working properly with prnt screen
Interesting build.

What do you think about earthquake with this setup? No good because of the aftershock delay?


Also, can you do uber atziri? Ive never done Atziri and want to do it this league.


When you think you will be able to get some videos up? I would love to see this build in action =]

Hi,
Regarding to your question on Earthquake. Personally I've tested Earthquake it's an amazing skill. But I've reached my final conclusion that any Earthquake builds are only good with the modifiers of poison and bleed. There are poison quake builds out there that I would recommend if earthquake is your play style.

I won't be able to post vids till I come back from my overseas trip to Europe

If you have any more question just post here or leave me a message.
Thanks.
