[3.15][TEXT GUIDE] Build General's Cry IMBA starter 70+ MLN DPS, deathless with transendence!


Hello there!

In the middle of the leaugue 3.15 Transendence was nerfed a little bit so we need now more phys covertion damage to stay alive, more endurance charges, we can also use phys reduction from watcher's eye or we just skip it and take blocks and Glancing blows.


🔥Guys this build is TOTALLY IMBALANCED, all nerfs in 3.15 patch did not affect it at all. It have from 65+ MLN DPS to 370+ MLN DPS. It'a almost virtually immortal because of using Transcendence passive keystone defence mechanics. Hope you like this build =)Build is true league starter, you may level up with Earthshatter skill or another skills, all starting gear setup will be described further in guide. Total budget of the build – from 50 to 60 exalts for transendece version. Russian version of the guide also available at the russian version of PoE official forum. We added links to the official PoE trade site to help you buy all required gear and stuff.

General’s Cry video guide, league starter, 65+ MLN DPS -> CLICK

POB, Final alternative version, 370+ MLN DPS (passive tree, jewels, skill gems) -> CLICK

POB,Transendence version, 65+ MLN DPS (passive tree, jewels, skill gems) -> CLICK

POB,Starter version, 10+ MLN DPS (passive tree, jewels, skill gems) -> CLICK

Build pros:
+ High DPS for clearing and solo targets- 65+mln,can be upgraded to 370+ mln dps. There are many ways to improve the build.
+ Nice survivability by using various defensive mechanics (including “Transcendence”).
+ Can be upgraded with “Headhunter” (btw youcan start with "Inspired Learning" in a passive tree).
+ Starter friendly.
+ 3.15 nerfs did not affect this build.
+ For a budget of 2-3 ex we get 10+ mln dps.

Build cons:
- You have to hold two buttons simultaneously to start the build working.
- There are some mechanics that many players do not understand and which need to be understood and implemented correctly (for example, a frequently asked question“what about incoming physical damage”).

Build mechanics: The "Cyclone" gem in conjunction with the "Desecrate" gem via "Cast while ChannelingSupport" gem allows you to create corpses around the character. The main skill"General’sCry" raises ghostly warriors from the created corpses,which use"Blade Flurry"skill to kill enemies.Damage varies from 40+ mln dps at the 1st stage to 70+ mln dps at the 6th stage, depending on how you assemble the character. Damage doesnot apply instantly, but with a couple of seconds delay until reaching the final stage.

Additionally we use: Inspired learning jewel, which grants ability to gain one random mod from a slain rare enemy for 20 seconds.

Second jewel - Kitava's Teachings, which adds keystone Disciple of Kitava to your skill tree. “Disciple of Kitava” grants ability to consume a nearby corpse, recovering 5% of character’s life and mana. However, if a corpse has not been consumed recently, 10% more damage is taken.

Third jewel ”Militant Faith” allows you to connect defensive mechanics through a keystone passive skill Transcendence. "Armour applies to Fire, Cold and Lightning Damage taken from Hits instead of Physical Damage. -5% to all maximum Elemental Resistances",thus we are not afraid of elemental damage. We also getphysical damage reduction from endurance charges, "Infused Channelling Support" gem, Fortify, pantheons "Soul of Solaris"and"Soul of Gruthkul",and also by converting incoming physical damage to any elemental damage or chaos damage.We get that via corrupted modifier on a shield, or a mod in an armor or helmet.

Anotherimportant keystone passive skill, which should be taken as quickly as possible - Call to Arms. Keystone gives: Using Warcries is Instant. Warcries share their Cooldown. This means that you just put the warcry "General’s Cry" on the Left Mouse Button and it applies instantly s when the character moves.

Leveling items.
Starterversion

From beginning
IMPORTANT for passing acts: Some unique items require a character level 50+. Half of the attack skill gems also require 30+ lvl.
Therefore, to begin with, we can use this skill gems: Heavy Strike, Ground Slam, Cleave, Sweep, also add totems fordamage boost, for example Ancestral Protector, Ancestral Warchief.

№2. Main hand and off-hand items
Sword.Buy or drop from Immortal Syndicate - Paradoxica
Preferred affixes:
#% increased Physical Damage
#% chance to Impale Enemies on Hit with Attacks
Useful affixes would be:
#% increased Attack Speed
#% increased Attack Speed while a Rare or Unique Enemy is Nearby
#% to Quality

Shield - Redblade Banner
You want this shield with one of the following corruptions. That’simportant, because we have several defense mechanics and this is one of them.
#% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Cold Damage
#% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Fire Damage
#% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Lightning Damage
#% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Chaos Damage




№3. Helmet and Armour
Helmet - Abyssus. A helmet for melee characters that increases physical damage, however, slightly increases the incoming damage to the character. The best labyrinth enchantment for the General’s Cry - General's Cry has # to maximum number of Mirage Warriors

[spancolor="#ffffff"]Armour[/span] - Astral Plate with two required affixes:
You can apply # additional Curses
And one of the affixes that convert physical damage taken into damage from any of the elements:
#% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Cold/Fire/Lightning/ChaosDamage, then–max. Life, elemental resistances, a great bonus would be:
Attacks have #% to Critical Strike Chance.
Important: You can solve the problem with the consumption of mana if you find the affix Socketed Attacks have # to Total Mana Cost.
mportant №2: Sucharmor can be very expensive, so you can use similar armourwithout additional curse. Instead we anoint a passive skill on the amulet Whispers of Doom, which requires three Golden Oil.



№4. Gloves and Boots
Gloves - Asenath's Gentle Touch
. Adds everyone's favorite explosions of killed enemies, causing damage, and curses enemies with Temporal Chains, reducing their action speed.

Then– max. Life, elemental resistances, movement speed. Do not forget about the crafting bench, because if something is missing, you can always craft it.




№5. JewelleryandBelt
Important: Your aim is to collect as much resistance to chaos as possible on those items.
[spancolor="#ffffff"]Amulet[/span]–we are looking for attributes, dexterity and intelligence, so Turquoise Amulet is perfect. Don't forget about "mana cost" from crafting bench, if you have a problem with mana consumption.Affixes on amulet–maximum life, elemental resistances, attributes.
Anoint amulet with Cleansed Thoughts.

Rings - Steel Ring. On one of them we are definitely looking forCurse Enemies with Vulnerability on Hit, with #% increased Effect,if this affix is absenton gloves. We also wantelemental resistances and as much HP as possible. You can increase DPS if you find prefixes:
Adds # to # Physical Damage to Attacks
#% Global Critical Strike Multiplier
#% increased Melee Damage
#% increased Attack Speed
You can also add a "mana cost" from the crafting bench on your rings, do not forget that requires a free prefix. If you lack attributes (dexterity or intelligence), then you need free suffix for crafting appropriate mod.

Ring with resistances

Belt - Ryslatha's Coil. Good belt for melee builds,increases DPSandboostsHP.
Firstaffix: 30-40% more Maximum Physical Attack Damage - lookcloser to 40%.

The fuck are you talking about? There are literal thousands of people playing this in Expedition, and as someone who has played it in the past, nerfing it by 60% will have done nothing to it. 40% of a fuckton of DPS is still a fuckton.

I'm not talking about that build in general, but about only that version of build that Topic Starter trying to prove as imba starter. Check his pob - lucky crits, no boss modificators and other shit. He is hated on russian part of forum due his usless and clickbated builds that doesn't work and all that he saying - MY TEAM(kekw) PLAYING WITH MY BUILDS FROM START OF LEAGUE AND ALL WORKS. Oh, and also don't forget to SUBSCRIBE TO HIS YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND TIKTOK :D He don't know how to game mechanics work at all and playing only on standart league, but making builds(he stealing them from other, less popular, people) for actual league without any knowledges about mechanics and nerfs that was done.

You can keep saying that his builds are cool and great, but on russian part of forum there are more than 50+ pages for each of his build where people who tryed his builds then saying that they are shit and they just wasted their currency to build it.

Nothing personal, just informing u as it is.
