League Starter Builds for Synthesis

I haven't played a golemancer yet, so that is what I'm going to do. Something non-melee before the melee rework.
some sort of jugg/slayer lab farmer

new spells = new helm enchants = profit?

once i get the budget then probably some sort of scion for league content.
I have an Alien pet.

I like totem builds?
Some stuff with the new skills would be nice
Or the new flame totem will be nice?

Yeah, physical to fire conversion spells on totems should be strong. I've been looking at the Flame Totem Chieftain or Scion, and Divine Ire Heirophant. It will depend on the patch notes.

The Divine Ire looks really interesting because based on the videos I've seen the cast time is so long it will be really dangerous to play self cast. I suspect they will over tune the damage of the big blast at the end because of this and totems should be the best of all worlds.


Thanks , iam a Totem Fan and hyped for the
Divine Ire Heirophant.
Why heirophant might the best for the Skill?
Waiting to see what spells change to decide but some early ideas:

New holy spell + inquisitor or trickster (I'm kind of addicted to the charge generation, life/mana/ES generation, clear speed of trickster).

Blade Vortex (unless the spell gets directly nerfed). I think the new support Unleash which fires the linked spell multiple times if you haven't cast it for a number of seconds would be perfect for the BV playstyle.

New holy spell or holy flame totem heirophant.
I won't really build a "league starter" because I always start planning for my main league build.

So for this one it'll probably be around Bane and Sourlend as an hybrid Occultist. I already planned my PoB build (at least for defensive stats) and I could get something with 5k life and 7k ES with decent gear, 75% chaos res, 29% block, 78% max res and perma Onslaught (Ahn's Heritage), stuns immunity, triple curses...
About uniques I keep in mind Reach of the Council and Presence of Chayula.
About links it would probably be something like 6L Soulrend and 4L support Bane. Or 6L Bane, depending on numbers indeed.
In the case Soulrend and/or Bane wouldn't be as good as I'm excepting, I can still manage with other chaos spells. But I have no doubt those two skills will work pretty well !
Anyway this build is designed to be able to clear every kind of content, from maps clearing to end bosses and league specific content.

See you in four days exiles.

SSF viable? Why hybrid instead of cI?

Didn't even think of that. Huh, what a fascinating concept. Admittedly, I'm entirely certain Unleash won't cast up to ten times, but it could very well make maintaining three or four stacks easier. Smooth the playstyle some, even if it doesn't lead to increased damage. And here I was convinced I could skip Synthesis entirely. Heh, now you've got me wanting to experiment with this at least a bit.

I guess yes, because uniques even being IMO a nice upgrade are not really mandatory and you can manage to farm some decent hybrid gear by yourself.

Hybrid because considering my different tries on PoB I can easily reach 11-12k effective life pool with less investment than CI. And Presence of Chayula provides this way a huge bonus to max ES.
But then with enough currencies I'm sure CI would be a solid option too ! It's just a matter of preference.

For whatever reason I though Assassin had Chaos Damage scaling or something. Whoops. Good catch.
