Behold the latest Immortal Build!

3.16 Strength of Blood Trauma Stacker Guide - https://youtu.be/a_gT2bm5pbA

Tl;dw:- Immune to ALL damage, BILLIONS of DPS. Wut, HOW?!! Strength of Blood keystone gives '1% less Damage taken for every 2% Recovery per second from Life Leech'. Build scales its 'Max Total Life Recovery Per Second from Leech' and 'Life Recovery Rate' (which also works, for some reason...) out the wazoo through various means, thereby reducing all damage by 100%. Then just play Boneshatter and build up thousands of Trauma for damage.

P.S.: Don't forget the other immortal build kicking about at present, the -100% Shock build! - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3222746 [FIXED, no longer works]

Added link to the other current immortal build - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3222746

So you're telling me the *extremely direct* keystone that gives LESS damage taken based on a single mechanic... was never tested? NO ONE at ggg thought to take one afternoon and add up the single mechanic?

But don't worry, more overpriced MTX every other day. Gotta make damn sure THOSE come out.

Thanks for keeping us posted Exile009.

It'll get modified. 1245 Life to do all content with TR is going to get it capped.

the leech nodes been able to make you invul since they put it in, there were slayers kicking around abusing it early on it just gets magnified by being able to ignore boneshatters downside.

The -100% shock build is much more novel and exciting for the times, had a good laugh at that one very creative!

Its gonna be sad if they get boneshatter gutted though its the best designed strike skill :/

Problem is recovery mod works now with leech/Strength of Blood this changed since 3.15 and it used to not work.

u just erase those build for next league ..... congrats !!!!

It'd make more sense to gut Shade form than anything. Its 100% Immunity with no real conditions is what makes this build work. (Duration/Cooldown aren't conditions).

Cap the Immunity on Shade form at 50% Phys immunity or even 70% would kill this build, because of the insane Trauma buildup. (These people are getting up to 120,000 Phys damage to themselves per attack - something they couldn't just armour out of)

The Shock build has very limited application; You have to find enough damage in a build outside of lightning damage to make it work (his demonstration is a chaos damage build if I'm looking at it right) because it pretty much nerfs your offensive ailments across the board. Notice he had to prime his shock before a fight even started, or he would have been 1 shock. On a Map or Scourge instance I question his ability to not get 1 shock before reacting

I myself am curious, because I have uber shoes for this build;

Reminder that this immortal build still works, only the shock build was killed.
