Attributes-based build

Would a build based on increasing your attributes to exploit attribute-based items be viable?

Astramentis - for more attributes https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Astramentis
Shaper's touch https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Shaper%27s_Touch
Cyclopean Coil - the lowest attribute will still be considerably high https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Cyclopean_Coil
Geofri's Sanctuary https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Geofri%27s_Sanctuary
Garukhan's Flight https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Garukhan%27s_Flight

And as weapon:
Hand of Wisdom and Action - claws with lightning damage https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Hand_of_Wisdom_and_Action
Pillar of the Caged God https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Pillar_of_the_Caged_God

Both weapons would turn out physical based. The claws give a lot of lightning damage, but i can't build a decent passives tree around it. Claws seem to require chaos to be decent (idk, never used that side of the tree)
With pillar i could make a strong phys build and benefit of all 3 pillar's modifiers to use a phys area skill at its max, aka ground slam or earthquake.

Any guess about making something viable out of this mess? (Passives will focus on picking as much attributes as possible)

Theres loads of howa builds around, not anyway near as OP as it was in actual breach league but still very strong if you really go all out with investment.

Not sure about pillar of the caged god, always looks but in reality seems to suck (might just be me)

oh that's an option too... still would it be good in a build that focuses on attributes only?

There are hundreds of builds based around stacking stats. Not necessarily all stats together, but definitely individual stats. A few of them lost a lot of popularity when there was a change to how they worked (HOWA and BLS both good examples), or when ES got nerfed (Whispering Ice)

Easy build easy game.

If i remember correctly i am at 1800 intelligence or so, forgot since i played ssf the past three weeks.

Playing SrS with Baron and going that Way,



Uniqs offer a nice Attri % boost as well but Elder/Shaper Items are craftable to get Life or missing Resis if wanted!-)

Nobody here with one of the meme ballista builds? I guess I'll have to make one of those then...

tried to make a build around iron commander but failed miserably, 1300 dex only equals to +52-156 on a lv 32 bow that dosent even have a big initial damage


str pillar of the caged god got a huge buff these league, one can now get a lot of flat phys damage from those abys jewels, not easy to get but they can roll this mods

Adds 5 to 8 Physical Damage to Attacks
Adds 7 to 12 Physical Damage to Staff Attacks
+ some str

That is 52+35-156+90, which is 87-246
Thats 233 pDPS. Not the greatest, but you have to remember that you also get 7 balista, total. In absolute, pure theory it is 1631 base pDPS to work it, when all of them are up.
Did I mention it has not that bad base crit chance? :P

Garukhan's Flight will grant you with 130 life (it also has 40-50 dex on it)
Shaper's Touch will grant you 325 life (!)
