What are your top "must try builds" for this league?

Hey!

I want to try one more build before quitting the league for good but i have no inspiration on what to go for.
So i thought it would be interesting to hear what others consider to be "must try builds".


My own nomination would be: Ignite Discharge with scaling from all three charge types. Those screen wide explosions are just so damn satisfying!
https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/tarrgoth/characters and check out DisTarrgeTwo if you're interested in how i've built mine.

Honorable mention: Mega twinked Hollow Palm leveling. If you've never tried this before, just do it. It's an evening of ridiculous overpoweredness, silly super fast fun. I did act 10 Kitava with all passives and two labs in 2h 40min and that was my first time even attempting to go as fast as i could.
(If you want some inspiration on how to build one, here's a pob of how my last leveling run looked after a10 Kitava: https://pastebin.com/Najtpi5P)

Wrong time of year for me to even think about it. Too much going on in real life to devote to a new character. I did two this league... neither to great success. That's enough.

Been having a real blast with my Berserker Glancing Blows Staff Cycloner this league. So if you like Cyclone, you should probably try it out. It's fairly fast (not Raider Cyclone fast), fairly balanced in terms of def/off and a very smooth playstyle.

I'm on my 5th alt.

Started with Arc Miner but hated it. Next was Agony Crawler Jugg. Pretty damn cool and sooo tanky but really boring, and the crawler AI will drive you nuts. Bleed Bow Gladiator was ok, but too squishy for my taste. Next Slave Driver specters Necromancer - really fun toon. Lastly, elemental hit deadeye. Always wanted to try an elemental hit build, and this seemed a good time to try deadeye.

I'm playing it now and won't be rerolling for the rest of the league. HoT autobomber.

You mean that 200ex Headhunter build? Might as well run Molten Strike, would still work.

Played .. 5 toons this league i think. Most successful one was a Bleed/full block glad. Did most of the endgame bosses on that one.

Killed Maven on a Spectre Summoner with crappy gear.

Raider is fun, since its super zoomy, but i failed to do damage unless using mega op gear.

Cyclone Slayer is too squishy for my taste. Its just "WEEEEEEEEEE" *dead* every map.

Derping around with a skeleton on trigger SRS Necro with tripple Offerings. Good fun, not really good though, i think.

Maybe ill do a Deadeye just for some dakka action, but im basically done for the league.

I guess but it'd be shit. You don't need HH or badge to destroy maps.

i have a couple builds i wanna try but i'll most likely wait for next league.

explosive arrow deadeye
ice nova hiero

i love the ice nova builds and i usually roll it with trickster but hiero looking so good with being immune to ailments now. so can really benefit from the aoe and i can make it very tanky

EA deadeye for some zoom zoom.

I'm still trying to get the will to make an Ice Crash warstaff or Hollow Palm marauder, dunno if Jugg or Zerk.

But the game client problems drew a lot of energy I was willing to spend. I don't know if I want to face it all again...

Harold needs braces. No seriously HoAg would be a slam dunk for any build that can proc poison except Kombat Skorpion AI is shit even with predator support, feeding frenzy, etc.

on topic: you should probably try a raider with the perma phasing and ailment immunity. You'll feel every other class and ascendancy is gimped after playing Sanic for 10 minutes.

Some kind of fliker strike or lightning warp or something that makes it go even faster.
