A decent Oni-Goroshi build

poeurl.com/bH30 skill tree at lvl 100, take oak, start right side then go left. Take headsman if you value the 20% more damage over stun. This is a HC tree and a HC oriented build. High life, defensive choices, ranged combat.

Vaal pact/blood rage is up for preference. Your slayer leech should keep you leached during the whole duration of Her Embrace and after you leave combat you should be full hp, apart from blood rage. I'd personally use either blood rage or vaal pact, not both. In Vuln maps you will end up being half hp between some distant packs.




Links, Spectral throw, gmp, crit, PPAD. The last 2 links need to increase both your physical and ele damage, so i use Maim and the 6th link is optional. Point blank for bosses, faster projectiles for clearing, elemental damage with attacks for general clearing, maybe even ice bite or faster attacks. DO NOT USE ADDED FIRE, it is useless to use it, you already have 123% added as, it gets less and less effective the more added% damage you get compared to other options. Point blank is 100% better for bosses than WED. I don't take it on the tree since no points left that i want to sacrifice and it costs me clearspeed. It also goes without saying but i will say it anyway, swap GMP for slower projectiles on bosses lol.

Hatred, enfeeble, blasphemy, enlighten
Cwdt, increased duration, immortal call and whatever skill you like for last.
On your chest use ancestral warchief, you can also use Kaom's heart if you want to and not get a 2nd 6 link for bosses.
Last item piece is terrain passing skill, i choose leapslam. You can either go for movement speed and just use an unlinked leapslam and have 2 vaal skills with increased duration OR use leapslam, faster attacks, fortify, blood magic. I want to use the Abyss gloves so i'd just use leapslam + faster attacks. A flash with 70% movespeed is what i use to travel. Oni goroshi doesn't have innate attack speed bonus so leapslam is slower, and since i am not duel wielding it is even slower.
Don't use herald of ash.

Use a piece of jewellery or gloves with 1-2 added fire damage to proc the burning

Since the sword has 123% of physical added as fire damage, i try to scale with physical damage. Enemies don't have armor, so i also try to not convert. If i use physical to lighting + 50% and use weapon elemental damage, i get less overall dps than just using Maim. 1000 physical damage with maim turns into 1300 physical, with the buff active it gets to 1599 fire damage, 2899 total. If i use physical to lighting and wed it turns out i do 1216 lighting damage and 500 physical damage and 1540 1729 damage, 3450 total. Now remember that this is without lighting penetration, so vs bosses, rares and things i actually don't 1 shot i end up doing LESS damage than just using maim with 1 just link. No point in wasting a link just so i end up doing 20% extra damage to no resist mobs and LESS damage to mobs with resist, which is the real thing that you need damage for.

If i end up using something else to convert my remaining physical to elemental, that justifies the 2 links, but why should i invest in conversion just so my WED + physical to lighting end up being worth the 2 links. You can just use some other support gem, achieve the same dps and not invest in extra 50% conversion.

tree and items look solid, good job

Just found a little mistake. Disemboweling is melee only (the nodes opposite of Resolute Technique). Would put these notes into ranger Jewel and crit note, but im no expert.
Otherwise looks like a solid build, gonna try it when i find my oni.

can confirm, checked with path of building, doesn't work.

Nice build. Can you please update the build. Alos, do you have any videos of the build in use?

How to get the buff going? where is the fire dmg (ignite) coming from?

That's pretty cool. I just saw a video of the item dropping and my jaw dropped. A talking sword? And it's automatically a 6L? I like the idea behind that unique. A lot. So you're kind of my savior since you've done all the theorycrafting behind the build already.

Will be my third character for the Abyss league then. If you will not translate the build to PoB, I will. :)

EDIT: What kind of jewels do you recommend? Any unique jewels? Or just everything that has physical damage added to attacks?

That's a great question above - how do you get Her Embrace buff without using Herald of Ash or Added Fire?

The poor soul... Made it all the way to level 54 without even ever enabling the buff. :*(
