[3.25] Guide Power Siphon - Trikster - Afana (Full Unique)

1. Buffs para 3.25:

Carved Wand, Engraved Wand, and Imbued Wand now have 1.6 Attacks per Second (previously 1.5).
Carved Wand, Engraved Wand, Heathen Wand, and Imbued Wand now have a base Critical Strike Chance of 8% (previously 7%).
Power Siphon: Now has a Mana cost of 5 at gem level 1 (previously 7), scaling up to 9 at gem level 20 (previously 11). Now has an Attack Speed of 115% of Base (previously 100%). Increases and Reductions to Spell Damage now also apply to Attack Damage from this Skill at 150% of their value.
Rage has been made more fundamental and discoverable. Rage now grants 1% more Attack Damage per Rage gained, to a maximum of 30, but no longer inherently grants Attack Speed or Movement Speed. You lose 10 Rage every 1 second if you have not been Hit or gained Rage in the last 2 seconds (previously 1 Rage every 0.5 seconds).

2. Nerfs para 3.25:

Berserk: No longer provides more Damage with Attacks, more Attack Speed, more Movement Speed, or less Damage Taken. It now provides 40% increased Rage Effect at gem level 1, scaling up to 59% at gem level 20. It also no longer increases the size of your character. Isso significa que a skill Berserk ainda vai aumentar seu dano por um pequeno período de tempo, mas não acho que vale a pena pelo requerimento de atributo e perder Rage que é um buff muito forte.
Grace: Now provides "You and nearby Allies gain 136 additional Evasion Rating" at gem level 1 (previously 227), scaling up to 1545 at gem level 20 (previously 2575).

3. Power Siphon é uma boa starter?

Na minha opinião, ela é uma das melhores habilidades para começar o jogo. Se você nunca jogou com essa build, siga meu guia da build e craft de itens para entender como funciona o mercado de itens únicos da build. Lembrando que essa build precisa das luvas "Thunderfist Murder Mitts" para escalar dano e pegar as duas primeiras Voidstone, e as botas "Ralakesh's Impatience Riveted Boots" para pegar as outras duas Voidstone.

4. Não consegui comprar as Luvas (Thunderfist Murder Mitts) e Botas (Ralakesh's Impatience Riveted Boots) da build. E agora?

Na liga passada, as luvas custavam de 1 a 2 divines nos 3 primeiros dias e as botas estavam custando de 10 a 15 divines nos 3 primeiros dias. Com esse valor, acabou complicando muito a progressão de personagens de jogadores menos experientes. Minha recomendação é seguir todas minhas dicas de farm para comprar esses dois itens ou começar com uma build que não dependa de itens únicos para funcionar.

5. Locus Mine?

Acompanhei e analisei todos os vídeos de builds de Power Siphon usando Locus Mine que chegaram até mim, e minha opinião é que a build funciona muito bem com essa gema. Porém, vou apenas citar a gema no meu vídeo de leveling e deixar um vídeo de referência na descrição dos meus vídeos de starter. O motivo para isso é que não gosto do gameplay de minas e não me adaptei bem com isso.

6. Esses buffs e nerfs significam quanto de damage/EHP?

Com os buffs nas bases, gemas, e rage, isso significa de 10% a 30% mais dano nesta versão da build. Mas perdeu os 20% de redução de dano recebido do Berserk.

7. Em que a mudança da Endurance Charge impacta na build?

Esta build depende muito de resistência, pegando até resistência nas joias e corrupções. Perder a resistência das cargas vai afetar o leveling desta build, mas não se preocupe, vou deixar no fórum e em um vídeo tudo sobre o leveling.

8. The Ravenous Passion Unique Helmet, nerf?

Este capacete foi uma das melhores adições na build de Power Siphon na liga 3.24. Agora, com a mudança do RAGE, esse capacete pode estar convertendo "1% mais Dano de Ataque por Rage ganho" para mais dano de feitiço. Se não estiver fazendo isso, ainda será um dos melhores itens para a build.

9. Em que o "Recombinator" ajuda essa build?

Com essa mecânica da Sentinel de volta, vai facilitar muito a criação de armas de mid game para esta build. Vou fazer um vídeo e deixar um tópico de craft usando essa mecânica no fórum.

10. Wander a nova Raider é melhor que o Trickster para Power Siphon?

Ainda é cedo para dizer, mas estou trabalhando em duas versões: uma focada nas tinturas e outra focada nas proibições "Fury of Nature". O que posso dizer é que esta ascendência será bem mais barata para montar uma Power Siphon, mas será bem menos tank. Assim que tiver mais detalhes, falarei sobre o assunto.

11. O que posso esperar dessa liga jogando de Power Siphon?

Esta build é uma das mais divertidas e confortáveis de se jogar. Na maioria das vezes, permitirá que você erre ou jogue de forma mais relaxada por conta da sinergia das mecânicas da build. Path of Exile é um jogo complexo e essa build está aqui para facilitar seu gameplay.

12. Faz Simulacrum?

Depois das proibições e do craft da arma, é o momento ideal para farmar Simulacrum.

13. Uber Blight Semi-Afk?

É um dos maiores desafios do jogo, e fazer sem anéis de power charge é quase impossível. Mas vou adorar tentar novamente esta liga e publicar para vocês. Aqui está um showcase deste desafio.

It now provides 40% increased Rage Effect at gem level 1, scaling up to 59% at gem level 20. It also no longer increases the size of your character. This means that the Berserk skill will still increase your damage for a short period of time, but I don't think it's worth it due to the attribute requirement and losing Rage, which is a very strong buff.
Grace: Now provides "You and nearby Allies gain 136 additional Evasion Rating" at gem level 1 (previously 227), scaling up to 1545 at gem level 20 (previously 2575).

3. Is Power Siphon a good starter?

In my opinion, it is one of the best starters in the game. If you have never played with this build, follow my guide for the build and item crafting to understand how the unique item market for the build works. Remember that this build needs the gloves "Thunderfist Murder Mitts" to scale damage and get the first two voidstones, and the boots "Ralakesh's Impatience Riveted Boots" to get the other two voidstones.

4. I couldn't buy the gloves (Thunderfist Murder Mitts) and boots (Ralakesh's Impatience Riveted Boots) for the build. What now?

In the last league, the gloves were costing 1 to 2 divines in the first 3 days, and the boots were costing 10 to 15 divines in the first 3 days. With this price, it complicated the progression of less experienced players a lot. My recommendation is to follow all my farming tips to buy these two items or start with a build that doesn't depend on unique items to function.

5. Locus Mine?

I have watched and analyzed all the Power Siphon build videos using Locus Mine that reached me, and my opinion is that the build works very well with this gem. However, I will only mention the gem in my leveling video and leave a reference video in the description of my starter videos. The reason for this is that I don't like mine gameplay and didn't adapt well to it.

6. How much damage/EHP do these buffs and nerfs mean?

With the buffs to the bases, gems, and rage, this means 10% to 30% more damage in this version of the build. However, it lost the 20% less damage taken from Berserk.

7. How does the Endurance Charge change impact the build?

This build relies heavily on resistance, even picking resistance on jewels and corruptions. Losing the resistance from the charges will affect the leveling of this build, but don't worry, I will leave everything about the leveling in the forum and in a video.

8. The Ravenous Passion Unique Helmet, nerf?

This helmet was one of the best additions to the Power Siphon build in league 3.24. Now, with the RAGE change, this helmet might be converting "1% more Attack Damage per Rage gained" to more spell damage. If it's not doing this, it will still be one of the best slots for the build.

9. How does the "Recombinator" help this build?

With this Sentinel mechanic back, it will make it much easier to craft mid-game weapons for this build. I will make a video and leave a crafting topic using this mechanic in the forum.

10. Is the new Raider better than Trickster for Power Siphon?

Well, it's too early to say, but I'm working on 2 PoBs: one focused on tinctures and the other focused on the forbidden "Fury of Nature". What I can say is that this ascendancy will be much cheaper to build a Power Siphon, but much less tanky. As soon as I have more details, I will talk about it.

11. What can I expect from this league playing Power Siphon?

This build is one of the most fun and comfortable to play. Most of the time, it will allow you to make mistakes or play more relaxed due to the synergy of the build's mechanics. Path of Exile is a complex game, and this build is here to make your gameplay easier.

12. Does it do Simulacrum?

After the forbidden and weapon crafting, it is the ideal time to farm Simulacrum.

13. Uber Blight Semi-Afk?

It is one of the biggest challenges in the game, and doing it without power charge rings is almost impossible. But I will love to try again this league and publish it for you. Here is a showcase of this challenge.

Greetings, Exiles!

I'm thrilled to share with you the final version of my build, known as "Power Siphon - Full Unique." Throughout this journey, we faced significant challenges due to nerfs in movement speed and the absence of "Tincture," which directly impacted PERMA FREEZE and radius penetration. However, I faced these challenges head-on and rebuilt the build, surpassing all obstacles.

Above, you'll find details about all my choices and progressions during the first five days of the league, when I built this from scratch. I'm here to present an even more powerful and refined version of 3.23. I hope you're eager to check it out, and of course, I'm available to address any questions that may arise.

For reference, I've provided the Path of Building (Pob) link and a gameplay video, so you can see the build in action. Additionally, I've shared a video showcasing the final version of the build.

I'm determined to push this build beyond the 100 million DPS mark, bringing forth a version with Mageblood and another with Mirror items. I'm excited to share these updates with all of you soon!

The Secret of Tier 17 Maps

Despite having already shared the final version of my build, I've realized it's merely a stepping stone to something truly spectacular. This build exclusively utilizes unique items, but I believe that's just the beginning of its journey towards excellence.

I've lost count of the times this build has withstood attacks that I was certain would kill me. I vividly recall the battles against the Tier 17 boss "Sanctuary," where Lycia, with increased area of effect and casting speed, gave me precious fractions of a second to dodge its area-of-effect abilities.

Now, in version 3.24, with the addition of two uber uniques, this build has surpassed all imaginable limits. I never thought I'd have Berserk permanently active alongside Soul Eater, along with incredible clearing capability. However, the only flaw of this build is its movement speed, a problem I am determined to resolve.

So, I'm excited to share the beginning of this new journey for the build. Start by crafting a weapon that can provide up to 40% more damage. There's already a video demonstrating how to create this weapon. Then, it's time to confidently and determinedly tackle all of the game's content.

Adding Headhunter to build!!!

This build version utilizes the crafted weapon in conjunction with the Forbidden to provide a powerful and versatile experience. I recommend using the Forbidden "Opportunistic" for a solid defensive layer on maps, while also offering notable damage against bosses. However, for those seeking a more budget-friendly option, the "Unstable Infusion" is a viable alternative. This allows adjustments in the build, such as replacing the Belt with items like Headhunter or Mageblood, depending on availability and player preference.

To facilitate understanding and implementation of this build, I'm sharing a Path of Building and a demonstrative video for a budget-friendly version. I invite you all to try it out and enhance your gaming experience with this setup.

Enhancing the Build for Mageblood

Hey everyone,

It's time to refine our build to accommodate Mageblood, and the first change is to incorporate Trinity Support + Ice Bite Support in place of Awa Lightining Pen and Volatility. With this alteration, we gain one of the most robust defensive mechanics in the game, in my opinion: Freezing. Yes, we're sacrificing 10% of damage and retiring my beloved amulet "Fury Valve," but the benefits outweigh the costs.

Now, it's crucial to add the "Piercing Shots" point to our skill tree, and the "Badge of the Brotherhood" amulet becomes an indispensable item for the build. From the perspective of its creator, this is one of the best versions I've ever developed and makes the build much more comfortable for facing Uber bosses, Sanctum, and Simulacrum.

Be sure to check out the Path of Building reference and the gameplay video below to see the new version in action.

"Hey everyone,

I'm back, and I'm incredibly grateful for the amazing support I received from the GGG team in recovering my account. I wanted to share a bit about what happened with my items and my account, so I've left an explanatory video in the links below. It's more of a vent than anything else, but I think it might help to understand what I've been through.

Additionally, I've also prepared a video demonstrating a more affordable version of my "Full Unique" Power Siphon build, capable of tackling Tier 17 content with ease. You'll find the link to the Discord chat, where I've compiled a list of all the unique items needed to assemble the build. I'm available both on Discord and here on the forum for any questions or suggestions you might have.
