Looks fun but I bet it's one of those builds that you make and then realize you die every 10sec and the guide conveniently left out that part.

it's the kind of build that sounds fun until you actually play it. then 2 maps in you sell it hoping to get at least 50% of what you spent on it back because some schmuck wants to try it out too. and it's not a cheap build. idk what everyone is thinking when they say "league start" lol.

Hopefully we continue to have build of the week in more popular leagues.

The only reason this exists is because no one else, or at least no one besides jung [Removed by Support]that gets views, is making build guides so they have to. I doubt they will keep this up if new leagues aren't the same but as some one that has 20k hours across multiple accounts I personally will not be coming back and I'm not the only one. So it's double sided sword. you get popular league and ggg thinks they can f off and focus on mtx or you get dead game and ggg thinks they can fix it with ripped off builds with multiple errors and hax items.

Pyre doesn't need to be catalaysed, just use Anomalous Cold to Fire.

Not sure how this slipped past a team whose only purpose is to theorize builds...

In fact Pyre isn't needed at all (80% burning damage is good, though). You can ignite with your cold damage when you have Shaper of Flames. You just need to deal more fire than cold damage to enable the 25% more ignite damage mod.

probably the first time this league where you've actually showcased a build that's viable for league start and endgame, thanks.

Seeing how this build:
- is nearly impossible to play before first ascend
- barely comes online at lvl 53 with bronns
- requires 20 catalysts of one kind, which you only can aquire once you get to maps
- requires 2 quite rare uniques when uniques are almost non existent with the changes to monster quantity/rarity
- requires unique hidden behind heist blueprints which is cancer rng at best
- requires unique hidden behind uber endgame content (uber uber elder)
- requires items that do not exist on trade untill like day 3 or 4 at best
we rly must have very different understanding of what a league starter is ;)

I like how you embrace the game and the content you make and use "we" pronoun. Great editing with the forum guide preview there, but C menu is too much visible during the video, especially on killing footage. It is nice to see stats of the build, but it is kinda blocking the gameplay. Looking forward to next season. Keep it up! ♥

If only we had a decent game to play this build in :)


But hey, I'm sure that once you're done sodomizing PoE1 and PoE2 is released, everything will be fixed!

prety nice , next build , do a melee build

if u are not oneshotting a phoenix boss , i'm sry u have no shot for ubers , not that amusing of a build

it doesnt require most of what you said, you probably didnt understand the build fully if you think those are mandatory.

you don't need replica cold iron point to make the build work, in fact a lot of people who play this build don't even use it at all.

if you don't use replica cold iron point, you don't need pyre either, because it's only in the build because of replica cold iron point, as you can't deal any cold damage with it so you have to convert.

impresence is also completely optional, again, most people don't even use that amulet. replica mistwall is nothing more than an optional defensive layer, any shield would work in that slot.

further, the version showcased in the video is far from being optimized. polaric devastation and replica emberwake are way better items for this build, but then again they're not mandatory.

so you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, don't understand how this build works, and never seen any other version of this build. there are hundreds of versions of it, and in all of them bronn's lithe is the only unique that's mandatory.

and a league starter build means a build that can clear low tier maps efficiently without expensive/rare gear. bronn's lithe is just a 1c chest you can find on the second day of the league. shouldn't be too hard to do acts with something else and switch around level 70 unless you're stupid.

"cOmEs oNlInE aT lEveL 53 aNd rEqUiReS fIrSt aScEnSiOn"

mind you, league starter doesn't mean something you can play from level 1 to level 100. you make it sound like it's impossible to play any basic ignite build with a fire skill until you get the chest. this build is one of the best league starters because you can transition into the actual build very easily without even changing your tree

This is true only if you don't use replica cold iron point.

Since replica cold iron point says you cannot deal cold damage, you then have to convert as much as possible.

If you are not using replica cold iron point (I personally don't see why you would when you could instead wear a +2 gem sceptre with additional affixes), you can skip pyre, but if you use replica cold iron point, you have to use pyre too.
