Hey there guys,

I'd really like to get into this build but I'm not entirely sure if I'm ready for it. I have tried asking this on reddit and boy that sure wans't a great experience. So maybe you guys can helt me out.

1. I think I can muster something around 70-80ex budget. Will this be enough to get the build off the ground or will it feel bad? What amount of ex would be a good starting point to make a build that actually feels like the endgame build it is supposed to be?

2. Is there a budget difference between Assassin and Occultist? When Trivial says Occultist has some advantage "early on" does he mean when you're in my position with some budget but not infinite?
I have a lvl 94 Occultist that I could just respecc to this, if that would work better with my budget.

3. Would someone care to make a writeup of what Items (and maybe an expected price) I will need to get this going and what's optional and goal for later on?

Thanks guys, really looking forward to this!


1) This comes to your crafting skills. You can make it playable, but it wont be good unless you farm and progress it further

2) Nope, Occultist just has some easy dmg vs trash mobs that's it. You can make a glass cannon build like that without spending that much.
Scion is the budget version, occultist is crap.

3) Have you check the crafting and itemization part ?

Hi Trivial, I wonder if you could give me an opinion on what to upgrade next. Still trying to improve defensive values from Shoes and Gloves with harvest.
Ammy Lightning pen just doesn't want to come - decided to leave it at T1 Flat lightning - or do I lose much dmg compared to lightning pen? Also struggling to get hunter mod "spell dmg per x int" & t1 IAS on my wand. Been rerolling it now for quite some time but #neverlucky.

Also, is awaken added Lightning better than the regular added light for 6L PS? Just wondering because of the insane lightning pen on the awaken gem.

In general, it was obviously quite rough to start with build this as league starter - as it scales extremely well after some higher investments. Other than that, I feel that I reached a point where I can pretty much zoom-zoom through any content with some random "poe-1shots" here and there. Reached Level 100, 2k INT and sitting at over 14k ES right now.

Thank you so far for your detailed Guide and your opinion on the next steps!

Thank you for the response. But even with double int and helm enchant if it even did 500% more dmg its still mega slow on bosses even with a 6l unlike any of the vids I see of it

You also have to consider the map mods on your maps, since your playing as assaasin, you also have to consider penetration for your dps. If you play a map with monster with increased elemental resistance, less curse effect, elemental equilibrium or reduced critical damage taken, those will drastically pull your dps down and that's maybe the reason you will see longer boss fights. I would not recommend a headhunter as it only provide clear speed and its pretty much useless against bosses without any stacks. A crafted rare belt with the synthesised int% mod, flat int (essence only), ES and Elemental Damage with attack would give quite a lot of damage you are lacking. You can switch back to headhunter once you have optimised gear on other slots.

Light pen is best crafted before multiplier, if u dont have cannot roll attack mods u will hit flat light all the time. If u wish u can try add remove influence but those are not cheap either.

On the wand AS is more important. That spell dmg per int mod needs around 130 tries and gives 150% dmg, so its totally okay to stop at high spell dmg.

For the gear check it is really hard to give good advice without seeing a PoB link :( if u wish catch me online on twitch and drop your PoB to chat, i will do a detailed review, which will be much more solid

Looking for a build to round out the league with and if I liquidate my HH, I probably have around 180 EX to play with. Think this is enough to comfortably play the game?

If you craft your gear yourself, then yes, its more than enough. If you buy on trade, then you'll have to live with some suboptimal gear until you make more currency.

The best wand alone is 100ex market price, but if you craft it yourself you could spend as little as 40ex.

I started playing the build with around 120 ex invested, self-crafted 4 key pieces: wand, chest, helm, ammy, then bought filler items for rest of the slots. It felt very strong.
Your title states 18k ES and 20M dps. I have not been able to find any of your chars that have this. can u explain?
sorry if this was asked before but you have different cluster jewels on profile, pob and in OP. which one should i aim for?
I'm playing 98Lv Occultist atm. Also tried my build on Assassin.

Really i liked much Occultist. Yeah Occ's explosion not first reason to select Occ but both ascendancy is not too much different for me.

You're saying I cant stress curse or smth crafting etc.
Is crafting Avoid Ailments is easy?
Is taking corrupted blood cannot inflicted is easy?
Is taking other important things like you said is easy to achieve?

No, not too easy. For 150-200 ex budget. Occultist is best.

Thanks for the build.
