Just wanted to say thanks for the build Akuma. Killed Shaper/Red Elder deathless on my first ever attempts with it. Was a lot of fun and by far the best league starter I have ever tried. Played for the last 3 leagues but never stuck with a build long enough to give shaper a shot. Was surprising how easy it was with the build.

Glad to hear that!
I am impressed, Shaper and Elder deathless without knowing the fight is a great achievement!

I definitely knew the fight. I had watched it several times. (Get bored at work pull up PoE videos lol) Anyway thanks again!

Hi! Very nice build. I use it as starter for abyssal but i'm only at 230k dps on path of building. Can you say me what i've done wrong pls ? my char is ZerkihEtMichelle
Thank you !

After configuring your character you are at ~345k DPS
Remember to Add Sunder Primary Wave + Warchief for Boss Target and Sunder Primary + Secondary Wave for standard mapping. Also remember PoB can not add the damage increase you get from rampage.

If you want to increase your DPS you might wanna switch out that abyss jewel in your tree with something with double phys dps (phys dps + phys dps with axes)
Also you can upgrade your axe to a higher one. Your current one has only 365dps. That's mostly enough for all standard content but higher makes it easier.

Also using a stygian vise with a very good abyss jewel might help too.

The rest is pure standard blah blah:
Get Spiked Gloves, Get Steel Rings, have +Physical Damage rolls on everything possible.

Elemental Damage doesn't benefit at all.

What Pantheons do you take in what situations?
Btw loving the build so far, so brutal and satisfying

That's mostly personal taste. My taste is:

Before Kaoms -> Brineking
With Kaoms Mapping -> Lunaris
With Kaoms Bossing -> Solaris
Small God Gruthkul is nice

GREAT GREAT Thanks for your build!!
I did Shaper, Vaal temple, all guardians, all Elders with it.
For the first time))
I did Hall of Grandmasters too. Without problems. U've written it is 'impossible' but i do not think so. (p.s. there are two blockers exiles but no-link scorching ray is good for them)

P.S. Will try Uber Atziri...

Glad you have fun with this build!
Well, I don't know much about using Scorching Ray in a melee build :D
But if it works, would be cool if you could do a video showing you're actually using a (or even THIS) melee build using scorching ray. Would add this as extra on the build itself :)

Thanks for the previous answer you gave me :)
However I do have another question, the final build for the passive skill tree doesn't seem to be finished? I think by the time I'm level 87 I'll have gotten every passive skill you've shown in the final passive skill build, This is only my 2nd build guide I've followed so I don't know which other passives I should be going for.

Thinking of dropping my shield and respeccing to this on my char MynameisDaryl. Can you do me a favour and check POB with the possibility of using the gem "Damage on Full Life Support". It gives a healthy HO DPS boost but not 100% sure if it is worth using?
I am not being lazy regarding POB, i just can't seem to be able to work it properly - maybe too old and stupid - thanks.
