Spectral Helix Class

Deadeye for Chain/Fork and ascendacy bonuses? How Chain/Fork works with Helix?

Champion cause of tankiness, same as Lancing Steel?

Raider?

Your suggestions? :)

It looks like it pierces all targets, so chain and fork won't work at all.

Champion pure phys version with impale will probably top the dps.

Deadeye it will bounce 2 extra times (2 extra projectils) instead of 3. I dont feel like this is a huge damage boost except in rare very tight corners, which you rarely fight bosses in.

Raider is ok but probably falls behind champion.

Personally I will probably go champion 2h axe impale/overwhelm, becoming crit focused around endgame.

Rage support and additional boss damage with rage vortex thingee maybe?

Did you ever play this game? You are so inexperienced with building your character that it hurts.

META will be obviously paladin with hammers, also known in this community as hammerdin.

Ye i am looking at it in the same way, there is also probability of some "magic" builds with Crown of Eyes, Champion with 2H/Dual Wield with Paradoxica & The Saviour can work also.

Are you planning to play SH in this seas? :)

There is some interesting info also: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/olmonr/spectral_helix_mechanics/

I don't, attack projectiles seems better than witch spell dmg runners :D

Seems to be working pretty well with bleeding so far.

Juggernaut, duh. Not even kidding, jugg spectral helix is both powerful and cheap as hell.

Helping my friend build it with triple elemental dmg Staves and Guardian. Ignoring Radiant faith becuase we're not 20 aura stacking theory crafters, Guardian had good charge generation, curse immunity, block, and ally attack speed boosts along with onslaught, more dmg, and intimidate. Templar was also next to elemental overload and equilibrium and all the sweet elemental and mana regeneration nodes. Told him we can theoretically get a
361 fire
322 cold
583 lightning

1266 elemental attack damage staff and make use of that 250% damage effectiveness and then use elemental army support exposure. Elemental weakness spectre and equilibrium and then let the good times roll.

Oddly the best minion radials are right there for the guardian so hes trying out skelemages to supplement his damage or to change it later.

Helix's damage numbers and mechanics makes it so it can be good with anything as long as you have enough added damage and/or weapon. You do need good attack speed unless you go bleed or something though.


But otherwise, impale, ele, all works. Poison is a bit trickier but imo still can work, just wont compare to other poison delivery mechanisms.


And it's generic enough without weapon restrictions that it can be played as a Berserker, Raider, Inquisitor (battle mage node anyone ?), crit, mana stacker mind of the council, impale etc.

If you can amass enough damage just go raider for faster clear
