[2.5] Elemental Monstrosity - Decimate all content on a budget
|
Elemental Monstrosity
Finally a claw build that feels rewarding to play. This build is not only strong offensively, but very strong defensively as well. I have cleared all content with this build on a budget by day 4 of Breach League and after talking with some of the others who play a similar build and those who are interested, I decided I would make a guide. Big thanks to Flubby for all of the theorycrafting he has done regarding this build and many ways to approach different difficult situations.

Spoiler
  Strengths - Can do all content (Deathless Turbo Guardians/Shaper/Uber Atziri easily) - Extremely tanky - Very high leech - Budget version works very well - Spending currency on this build actually makes it leaps and bounds above budget version Weaknesses - Elemental Reflect - Without care or if you are in a party, you can very easily destroy yourself in a split second - Heavy Cold damage maps Current Gear

Gear Break-Down
Spoiler
So I mentioned a budget version, this clearly does not include skyforth. However, there is a cost to not using skyforth and that is we have to drop our Choir of the Storm amulet for Eye of Chayula and use rare boots (Movespeed is absolutely not needed)
Helmet
Spoiler
ES with Accuracy/resists (int if possible)
Amulet
Spoiler
Eye of Chayula if budget, Choir of Storms if using Skyforth
Rings
Spoiler
Call of the Brotherhood is necessary, your other ring can either be a good rare with resists (wep ele+int are great) or you can use to be safe in reflect situations like in parties.
Belt
Spoiler
Basically all resist belt with wep ele
Gloves
Spoiler
Accuracy, int/str if possible
Weapons
Spoiler
Boots
Spoiler
Can either use a good all resist rare, Rainbow strides or Skyforth

Leveling Process
Spoiler
★Level 1-12: Level as either Fireball, Spark or Freezing Pulse ★Level 12-22: Level as Firestorm ★Level 22-68: Put on your and use Reave until level 28. Pick up Bladeflurry at 28 from General Gravicius. ★Level 68+: You can go CI around this point safely Questions & Answers
Spoiler
Q: How do you maintain powercharges without skyforth? A: Use Orb of Storms with Power charge on crit, Increased Crit Chance to generate/ Q: "I highly dislike the blade flurry meta, can you suggest an alternative skill which could be useful here? i like the general concept." A: Reave, Spectral throw, Cyclone, Ancestral Warchief, ect. ect. Q:You have really high end gear and still "only" 9k ES (only 156% ES from inquisitor): how to survive when having not ultra high end gear like you? A:Anything above 7k ES is fairly luxury. You have so much leech and speed to dodge mechanics that you really do not have to worry about much. Q:In which gear state can I do Uber Atziri/Shaper with? A:I personally downed Uber Atziri, Guardians and Shaper with a 5L 600es chest, really budget es items and no skyforths just to see how viable it is. I had 6.5k es and it was still fairly easy to do. Q:I see you use purity of the elements... Is this needed? A:Flubby and I have tried to work around not having to use purity, but the gearing requirements are just too high and either way I would use purity of lightning (assuming you use choir amulet). The build has enough dps to do any content without herald/wrath stacking and enough leech to not blasphemy warlord's mark so don't strain yourself to have insane gear just to cap resists and lose all your int/accuracy, just run purity and play it safe.

hey bud
thx for the build 1) i highly dislike the blade flurry meta, can you suggest an alternative skill which could be useful here? i like the general concept. 2) got a skyforth sitting in my stash ready for use! and you have really high end gear, and still "only" 9k ES (only 156% ES from inquisitor): how to survive when having not ultra high end gear like you? in which state did you do uber atziri for example?

" blade flurry is BiS for ele attack builds because of the very high attack speed. You can use reave but you lose one gem slot on multristrike. Builds : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1813247

Very interested in this build! i look forward to trying it out. Hopefully someone posts a video.

Not seeing how you generate your power charges. Are the links not correct? some of the choices make me think they aren't. Also if you have your res capped, what would you recommend over the purity of elements? Perhaps a blasphemy?

" Look at his boots. I'm guessing you don't know what Skyforth's are. |
