Pure Physical Damage Builds
" All bleed relative passives & items ( apart from Hemophilia maybe ) only scale with physical damage so ... The bleed/phys spectral shield throw that I ran in Incursion really surprised me at the end, it felt pretty good. Not Uber Elder level of dps though, I don't think it's ever reach that point even if I'd invest time in it. Vulnerability and the fact that the game pushes to scale one type of damage are also things. SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading. Last edited by Fruz#6137 on Nov 30, 2018, 1:25:07 AM

there is a good chance spoiled statStickPlayers lose interest if PoB doesn't show billions of shaper dps anymore.
i would rather finetune the ele res of mobs, they will never notice :-) and it has the same effect. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

Phys builds are on par with chaos spell builds. It works, but it's not "stat stick meta". You can do all content, if you get gear you can do all content fast. Investment is rather big, does not scale as easily as Conversion or Statstick builds.
I represent only myself, my own thought and believes. I am individual, not a representative of the community.
I am not speaking on behalf of someone else and I don't get offended by things that have nothing to do with me. 3.13 was the golden age. |

well, i tried brutality resolute technique cyclone juggernaut with starforge
its awsome, but damage? extremely low, didnt try shaper but i would assume it would take ages to kill him with that 150-200k phys dps this is very sad dead game bring back 3.13 Last edited by Tainted_Fate#2799 on Nov 30, 2018, 4:24:26 AM

" That's self-gimping par excellence. Jugg, pure phys, RT, cyclone... At least drop RT for crit (elder plate, diamond flask, crit stuff at ranger, starkonja, maybe even abyssus). And then use heavy strike for bossing, with the two threshold jewels. It is not millions of dps, but 1 million you should be able to achieve. 3.5 build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2299519

" yes thats exactly what I want to go for. jugg, pure phys, rt, cyclone D no, i dont want to go another skills for bossing, i want spin2win! you are saying "self-gimping", and i'm saying this shit needs to be viable! who even said this needs to be bad build? ggg said? proof link RT needs buffs imo. naaah man, teach me to do some builds. if i wanted to more "meta-stuff" i would go for ascendant slayer/assassin with voidforge and crit and wreck everything (including shaper). dead game
bring back 3.13 |

" 2h crit? narp, not really. cycloning through delve was fun although ggg thought the same and nerfed the aoe so you couldn't even clear the tunnels in one go without even further gimping yourself with a increased aoe support. heavy striking bosses? haven't done that in ages. used vaal double strike but standing still usually is a death sentence in higher levels. melee running away from a primordial best in delve 250 because it oneshots your 7k life with 4 endurance charges. reliably with every hit. eh, not complaining. next league i return to the overpowered shit again. ele dmg here i come! age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

definition of pure garbo: phys 2h melee
you cannot get lower than that. it is simply not possible banners are LAME way of changing that. 'some extra damage/defence done for a price of busywork and gem/skill bar slot'. who will benefit from banners the most? poet's pen and all spellcasters who currently cannot use fortify reliably melee? melee already has fortify and struggles so what would that change? Brutality support is PURE NOOB TRAP. any build using this gem can be made stronger by replacing this crap with real multiplier and applying all (plentiful) sources of %extra as ele + penetration bleed is garbage. impale is the new bleed - sadly it is tied to some limited skills and most likely will benefit mostly the already bonkers (BFlury) while doing exactly nothing to crap like Glacial Hammer, Sweep, Ground Slam etc thrash at this point GGG should REMOVE melee (and bottom left part of the tree) from the game. all it does is make new players make stupid decisions when melee is THE WORST archetype of them all having ZERO upsides but numerous downsides will that happen? no. will GGG reverse their power creep bonanza? no. will they apply new layer of bandaid? yes. banners. the new fortify. great buff for casters, poets and necros. any build with attack based movement skill can use the 'defensive' banner for boss fight 'offensive' banner is for melee and as such is DoA/noob trap |

" Agreed and I want to emphasize that a game that has large portions of its content and player choices absolutely suck is not a very fun game. Here are 100 builds but only 10 are good - which will you choose, exile? Aren’t you excited for all those options and all that variety? We're all in this leaky boat together, people.
