[3.14] Gannicus, God of the Arena – Deathless Uber Elder for Everyone

Very noob question: Why link maim in the auras when we already maim anemies in blood stance?

And why bladestorm scales well off attack speed, if there are just 3 bladestorm each time shouldnt we try to make every storm as powerful as possible instead of casting more storms?
There is a sword for sale for 4ex

+9% Chance to Block Attack Damage while Dual Wielding??
53% increased Physical Damage??
+3 Mana gained on KillS2
+121 to Accuracy Rating??
craftedCan have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers
crafted126% increased Physical Damage
craftedAdds 17 to 30 Physical Damage


367 dps

1.2 aps.....slow as shit!



Is that worth the 4ex?

It's a shame that it's so much cheaper and easier to progress a caster build like ED/Contagion or Incinerate than melee builds :(.


Welcome to PoE, unfortunately... GGG "fixed" melee but spells/projectiles still rule the game.
I mentioned some sword solutions that can help you though. And the -mana cost armour is not absolutely necessary, the build works without pride just fine.

Hey,

Why dont you use F&S+HoP+Pride+Enlighteen?


Because you need maim in there too. The usefulness of each aura is explained in the guide.


Don't get me wrong, this is by no means a critique of you or the build. You have been very, very helpful. This is just the first melee I have played since the melee "fixes" and it's frustrating to see how much easier it is to play a caster/summoner/ranged build.

There is something sincerely wrong with game balance when a naked summoner does 1M+ DPS and can AFK in Sirus or an ED/Contagion character with a +1 chaos wand that you can find at level 9 on a 4-link has 100k sheet DPS and makes the entire screen implode in two casts.

Just a heads up - this build is probably one of the better builds to kill Awakener with.

I'm a really bad player mechanically and i can pretty much faceroll most of the mechanics of the actual fight thanks to high block.

Just get a "corrupting blood cannot be inflicted on you" jewel
I wonder if there is a way to run Paradoxicas with this build. Maybe block on chest, ammy and gemini?

Attack speed increases the damage the storms do and helps us with faster leap slam.

That's up to you. I don't know your budget or how much damage it adds to your build. Use PoB to check.

No arguments here. I played a zombie summoner last league and it was the most ridiculously OP thing I've played in this game in 5 years. When spells can have both the same single target damage as melee and much larger area of effect at the same time then there's something wrong with the balance.

Unfortunately I'm playing a different build now that clears very fast and is ok with bosses but gets destroyed by Sirus. I suppose I should try this on standard when I get bored with the league. I really miss being tanky...

Anyone knows why Maligaro gloves are like 1 C in standard and 80 c in metamorph? Did they change them or something

Damn, you're right they are a bit expensive. But on standard they're not 1c. You're looking at the old version. They're about 50c.
They only drop in legion encounters but that has been the same since legion. They're still worth the price but it'll be much harder/more expensive to get good corruptions.

I just started this character today as I took Enki's Arc as high as I wanted to and I am melee player at heart.

I do have a question though. Leveling wise: Do I go right and grab everything for blocking and fill out that side first or is there a better path for leveling or does it even matter?
