Spoiler
๐ Major/Minor God: Bloodnotch's Nemesis ๐ Avoid the seductive allure of "Soul of the Brine King" – it's the arch-nemesis of our Bloodnotch setup! ๐ฅ Righteous Fire Romance: A Flame that Fizzles ๐ฅ Ever considered a fling with Righteous Fire? It might scorch your enemies, but it's a flame that burns out our regeneration – not the best trade-off. ๐ฒ Anomalous Petrified Blood: A Testing Fling ๐ฒ In my setup, I flirted with Anomalous Petrified Blood, but let's just call it a fling. For optimal results, stick to the regular version! ๐ Mapping Magic: Profane Bloom Extravaganza ๐ Feel like spicing up your mapping experience? Swap out "Unholy Authority" for "Profane Bloom" – just throw in "Whispering Doom" on your amulet. It's the easiest way to get a second curse and make those maps your playground! ๐ญ Stunned Stunner: Cast When Stunned Secrets ๐ญ I've got a little secret sauce with an additional "cast when stunned" setup for Purifying Flame (Divergent, because why not?) and Forbidden Rite. It gives us permanent Consecrated Ground for regeneration and more damage. Oh, did I mention we can even survive AFK most of the time? No big deal. ๐ช Regen Resilience: The 500 HP Sweet Spot ๐ช For smoother gameplay, aim for at least 500 Life Regen (sans Consecrated Ground) – it just feels right. ๐ก๏ธ Phys Hit Survival: 4k Life Mandate ๐ก๏ธ Phys Hit got you feeling weak? Aim for a mandatory 4k Life and watch your PoB for a minimum of ~18k Phys Max hit. Safety first! ๐ฏ Projectile Paradox: Less is More ๐ฏ More than 5 projectiles for single-target damage? Nah, don't be fooled by PoB values – invest in AOE for that sweet spot of 10-13. Dying Sun is like the cherry on top, but only if you're into overkill or fancy more clear. Awakened GMP? Optional – unless you're all about that clear life. โ๏ธ Zealotry Blessings: 700 ES VIP Pass โ๏ธ Want to buff up with Zealotry and Divine Blessing? 700 ES is the magic number (not really mandatory, but it's the VIP pass for bossing/Simu). ๐ Jewel Selection: Bling with Purpose ๐ When it comes to jewels, think %Life, maybe some Armor, Attributes, and a sprinkle of damage for that extra oomph. ๐ Divine Vanity: Xibaqua's Withering Charm ๐ Yearning for Divine Flesh from Glorious Vanity with a hint of Xibaqua? Look for a gem with Wither on hit – one, two, or more nodes will do the trick. ๐ Bloodnotch Warm-Up: Not Necessary in the Beginning ๐ Bloodnotch setup is like the pre-game warm-up – not necessary in the beginning. ๐๏ธ Watcher's Eye Wisdom: Bling for Extra Buffs ๐๏ธ Eyeing a Watchers Eye for %Phys dmg taken as (any) Ele? For a higher budget, scout for #Life on hit while Vitality and cool stuff like Less Phys damage while Determination, +### Armor while Determination. ๐ก๏ธ Armor Aspiration: At Least 30k for the Win ๐ก๏ธ And remember, at least ~30k Armor is the goal. Gear up, bling out those jewels, snag that Watchers Eye, toss in Determination, and sip on those flasks – because this build is no joke! ๐๐ช #PathofExileWisdom โ๏ธ GEAR: Unleash the Budget Beast! โ๏ธ
Spoiler
๐ง Arm yourself with not one but two Void Batteries for an extra spark – and if you're feeling a bit fancy, Malachais Loop can join the party! ๐ก Just a heads up – those Crucible mods on weapons are like uninvited party crashers. Best to pretend they're not even there! ๐ช๏ธ Snag a snazzy helmet with +1 Power Charge and a dash of chaos for your enemies – it's worth the scavenger hunt. ๐ฐ Counting pennies? This chest piece is your budget-friendly ride. The Rare Route is like a luxury cruise – delightful but pricey. ๐ฏ Target this sweet spot on your gear – it's the jackpot for Life, Life regen, and all the other stats you crave. % Damage per Frenzy and Chaos damage Leech are the rockstars here! ๐ข These boots are the unsung heroes of the budget build. Since you don't move while casting, they're the unsung heroes. Don't forget to slap on that Mana Cost Enchant! ๐ This is where you turn phys into ele – a game-changer. Add some Phys damage reduction and Life on Hit (Vitality) for good measure. But hey, throw in mods that match your style. ๐ช๏ธ Hunt for Flask Charges and life on your belt. Look for stats that make you feel unstoppable! ๐ This Amulet is the crown jewel – a must-have for your bling collection. ๐ญ The budget version is like a blend of Life on Hit (Spells), some stats, a dash of life, and an empty Prefix – perfect for your personal touch. Recoup Mana or -7 Mana, you decide! ๐น Get Gain 3 Charges on hit when your belt rocks the mod for Flask Charges. Mix and match your flasks as the mood strikes – there's no one-size-fits-all here! ๐จ Got brilliant improvement ideas? Throw them into the suggestion box!

Whats a better chest'll look like? I have some currency to burn, and this looks fun. First league I'm trying out several builds ๐

" Probably the route with the rares. Another player has a guide to this variant. For me this was way too expensive, since Boots and Chest piece are rare, a lot has to be moved which inspired me to my Ralakesh build. Here is the player's page! https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3250447 Last edited by Kaukus1 on May 22, 2023, 8:32:10 AM

Having a really difficult time with this build, I keep getting one tapped by pretty much anything, damage is okay but I can't complete a map tbh. this is my POB https://pastebin.com/r5Ya1QXs

" https://pobb.in/1_-KxVy5YCpU overworked some stuff on your POB! As mentioned in my post, FR builds are not easy and not beginner friendly at all. You need a lot of theory and youll try a lot. > You have only 60% Lightning res? You need more, also the one point on your tree for Lightning Res is a waste >For now you should try to get over 4k life, yes I know, this stuff can get very expensive quickly and is rare on the market >Righteous Fire you should drop, I had it in experimentally, you can do it but it consumes a lot of resources that you could rather use differently (I don't have it in my setup anymore). >Despair, Molten Shell and Asassin's Mark on CWDT setup is missing? > Try to get Flasks with Gain 3 Charges on hit, makes a lot of difference in monster quantities. > Try to get a slightly better Glorious Vanity, so you can free up at least one more Skillpoint > I also optimized the Curse Setup, so you get your 2nd Curse and a useful Annoint > Get more life nodes on your tree, by changing your setup > You miss an Abyss Jewel on your Belt? Thats MY currenty build setup https://pobb.in/e_iruBvfNOCn Last edited by Kaukus1 on Jul 11, 2023, 5:14:21 PM

Do you think the build will still be good once the bloodnotch combo gets obliterated next patch? Are there any alternatives to it that would allow for similar tankyness or at least enough to make the build feel good?

" The advantage of Bloodnotch is that you save some important skill points to reach 100% recoup. I think a different setup without Bloodnotch could achieve similar, if not better gameplay. You can get recoup via rares, jewels and passives to eventually get to 100%. Leaving out Bloodnotch also allows for a larger Energy Shield pool. In the end, you would have to simulate all this and / or build and play. TL:DR: Unfortunately I don't have an ACCURATE answer to this at the moment. EDIT: Unfortunately, the bigger "problem" I see is Crucible's "more cast speed" mods on both wands. That is about +20% MORE CAST SPEED per wand. Means rather that much in the build must be reoriented to achieve high cast speeds (This is very important for this build, also because of the gameplay).

Im thinking about League starting something like that. What do you other guys think about the new devour gem? Im thinking it could make leveling with forbidden rite actually possible.

Hey and thanks for posting! Having fun with this build.
How did you solve the 50% chance to avoid stun while having energy shield? Divine Flesh makes me always have ES and so I loose out on 50% of Bloodnotch or am I missing something? | |
" Okay, I'm a little out of it there... Could you tell me exactly where "50% stun avoid" is? If that was supposed to be in the build, I either forgot or never realized it. |
