[3.18 suspended] Blast from the Past. KB/PS Int Stack Wander King. Speed meta 18K ES, 20m+ dps

Hi, thanks for the great guide. I noticed in the guide that it says we are shock immune. How do we achieve shock immunity in the pob?
"
I'm currently eyeing assassin and raider scion to get more movement speed even if it ends up being slightly less damage.


Ascendancy benefits aside, the problem with raider is u will need to take dexterity nodes instead of int for a bit. In the endgame where u get enough dex from gear, that is around 70 base int loss.

cluster jewel for 30%, glove and helm craft for 25%, belt enchant for 20% gives u 100% chance to avoid elemental ailments for shock/ignite/freeze immunity

Moving into 3.13 and Guide Update

Hello everyone, wasn't around for the last part of the league so sorry for unanswered questions.

I will start with the most obvious question: The build is alive and well, all in all we lost some move speed and a tiny amount of dmg.

Updating the guide fully will take a bit of a time since i will need to test stuff myself before posting, but a rough guideline:

* Once we get ascendancies on PoB i will update the links, this will happen before the league (if pob doesnt get updated in time i will manually edit stuff to emulate the changes)

For now Assassin is still my go-to, i will test scion and inquisitor as well.

* I will try to make a youtube video that sums up the changes (similar to one i did in heist)


* Crafting section and re-adding harvest crafting methods will come bit by bit, all while testing new stuff like t0 influence mods etc.

Feel free to drop by discord or twitch if u have other questions.

Have fun wanding another league.







Can you test elementalist too? Has good damage and defense and we could recover crit through a diamond flask possibly.

Assassin/Raider Ascendant, not Raider.
Interesting build! It seems just like the old HOWA INT stack builds, except you use a wand instead of HOWA and KB instead of Molten strike.

So my question is why wouldn't you go juggernaut just like you did with HOWA INT stack?

Answer is Cluster Jewels.

Before we did not have enough stuff on the upper side so it was okay to go down to str (or dex) and convert them into int.
Now we can just invest in cluster jewels instead of wasting points, increasing our power level dramatically.

Wand nodes are very easy to reach compared to claws, and offers clear skills that are far more superior to molten strike.

So this is like a more concentrated version of old int stacking made possible with recent changes.

Oh yes i agree with what you meant.
My question was why not go for Juggernaut with your build of INT stack wand instead of assassin.
Especially with the incoming nerfs to assassin and the gigantic defensive boost juggernaut can give you by covering all weak defense spots the build currently has.

while jugger has its bonuses for early game toons and hc builds, i would argue assassin is a better one even defensively for this build.

u will spend 6 points on pathing, then need to take endurance charges for extra points.. stun immunity is nice from ascendancy, but u can get it from elsewhere where crit immunity is impossible to get other than going assassin.

Also u are losing 40% of your dps, which will need extra attention.

if u import the pob and try converting to jugger u will see what i mean.
