Purplehatz Build List v1

I figured I should copy Mathil1's idea and post my build setups in a forum thread. I tend to make a bunch of characters each league (my new character cadence being 3-5 streams), so I'll post the final setups here.

I'm live Monday - Saturday @ twitch.tv/Purplehatz starting at 10 am CST (no daylight savings) and ending 5 - 8 hours later. I've been told my streams are 'relaxing' / 'entertaining' / 'chill' but you'll have to verify that yourself.

Youtube content over at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCciIvgwep4YsMQlJqNtZjQ
where I try to come up with some entertaining PoE stuff. Currently working on a 'No-Nonsense' guide to PoE, where I go over different game mechanics in a succinct manner.

Archnemesis League
Spoiler
SST Raider (feat. Omni)
Spoiler
PoB: https://pastebin.com/bakjhdCE

I would use a crit multi life abyss jewel and get a chill and ignite avoidance jewel implicit from harvest so that you're fully elly ailment immune (we're 5% off sadge). REALLY enjoyed this build, I personally love SST so getting to bring it into the spotlight with a bit of omniscience carry was very fun. If you haven't done SST before give this a shot, managed to clear wave 27 simulacrum before our dps fell off. The freeze prolif is super defensively strong BTW, don't skip out.


Basic Elementalist Fireball Ignite
Spoiler
PoB: https://pastebin.com/8bqURyEZ

Wouldn't recommend this build very much, super basic and nothing very exciting about the gameplay, pretty clunky to get top DPS uptime but a good showcase that ignite is pretty competitive these days damage wise.


Manabond mana stacking Heirophant
Spoiler
PoB: https://pastebin.com/VbSpns0n

Gear and gems are not 100% accurate, just check the PoB for the actual setup. Super interesting build IMO but definitely needed a bit more love to get working fully. As is, you're pretty locked down while casting and tend to just die while DPSing. Definitely needs some love in the gear department and skyforths need to be dropped, I just didn't want to give up the basically stun immunity they give you. Cast speed on rings is a must looking back. Love the fact you get 60% shock on anything due to one of the lightning masteries scaling shock effect by 1/3 of mana inc.


Spectral Helix Crit Poison Assassin
Spoiler
PoB: https://pastebin.com/7SLz6ca8 (not really set up)

This is the build I league-started, so the gear is pretty bad. Conceptually I thought it was pretty good, definitely needed to be geared harder to actually do T16 + bosses and needed a bit of passive tree tweaking. I had a lot of fun playing this, might revisit with some sort of lightning strike poison pathfinder using daggers or smth.


Low-life Phys. Spectral Helix Champ
Spoiler
PoB: https://pastebin.com/ASvp1vnZ (look here for gems)

Man I thought this character was going to be an absolute slapper of a build, but the clear speed was really eh and my 1000iq low-life tech didn't really feel good. Essentially the idea was to use petrified blood but reserve slightly less than 50% of your life pool so that you could use a life flask and then attack with spectral helix to bring yourself below 50% HP to activate adrenaline from champ ascendancy. In practice, the single target was 'fine' but you need to ramp a lot to get good DPS uptime and even though the build is super tanky to hits, it falls over at any big degen. Wanted to get aura effect on the chest but settled for 100% spell suppress. IDK man, was really close to being pog but ended up a bit hog. Oh you get like 300% damage from using determ. and grace w/ perserverance (the belt) which was pretty cool. Someone make this build good pls.


Elly Rain of Arrows Slayer edition (feat. Omni)
Spoiler
PoB: https://pastebin.com/wFZ8k0dM (again check here for actual gem setups)

Really enjoyed this build, just a solid use of omni to carry an elemental based hit skill. Rain of arrows is suuuuper smooth to play and the build scales really well with gear. Definitely could of sunk 100ex into this char and made it super stronk, but that ain't how I live my life.


Elemental hit based Exsanguinate Ascendant
Spoiler
PoB: https://pastebin.com/9Y3W43cW

You should 100% use chain for clear and swap to hypothermia for bosses. The clear for chain + hit based exsanguinate is absolutely INSANE! It totally just deletes screens, since we made sure to make that average hit real big :). Not super strong defensively but feels great in general mapping. If you juice a bit too hard, definitely going to be dying every now and then. Probably a version out there that scales auras to be defensively and offensively very strong, but I'm happy with how this turned out. Careful with trinity, I swapped from herald of ash to purity since my fire hit was too large after dropping phys to lightning.
