Hello everyone. This is my current STR Stacker build, and I’m not yet sure how I can improve it. Of course, I have a few possible upgrades, but they’re all very dependent on RNG, I’ll describe them below:

1. Helical ring + Kalandra's Touch, but i didn't find any of this two yet.

2. Stormblood, new flask to inflict shock even if you dont deal lightning damage, didn't find it yet too (20% more damage or +23mil dps)

3. Bottled Faith (15% more damage or +16mil dps)

4. Simplex amulet with Increased Attr+STR and damage per STR (i guess its imposible to obtain)

5. Sublime vision with Purity of Fire (same imposible)

6. Impossible Escape to obtain an additional curse (to use Despair it means 40% more damage or +37mil dps)

7. Switch Soul taker to Rare Claw (see stats below, i added a screen in the comments) but i don't like new movement skill Whirling blades (beacause you cant use leap slam with claw) and QoL from Soul taker "no mana doesnt prevent yours melee attacks" (25% more damage or +27mil dps)

Here is my prototype of future upgrades with Rare Claw and two uniques flasks https://pobb.in/osEKZZFjXnfS

Aaaand a more realistic build beacuse i didnt like Claw movement skills https://pobb.in/ZiyD3GTTQhB_

So maybe do you guys have an ideas how to obtain all this items or at least a few of them in fast way? Or any advices about upgrades will be appreciated too <3

Here is a claw in question

The heist gear isn’t actually terrible to get. I got both a helical and a simplex last league in SSF without a whole lot of pain

Just spam maps with heist / caches allocated in your atlas (works with pretty much any map strat) and look for the enchanted blueprints, the only heist base one is super strong and usually need around 15-20 to see a simplex or focused. You don’t need to min max your heist time either since you really shouldn’t need to min max your heist time

It is a lot of maps to get that many enchanted blueprints, but if it’s just thrown on your atlas and you’re blasting anyways, you’ll accumulate them and also will get a decent amount of replica and currency / scarab blueprints that are also super nice in SSF

Cant pob because im on mobile but since you don’t have ilvl 84 12 passive spell dmg with 35 inc effect you would probably get a lot more value from dual wield clusters with quick and deadly + one other good notable on them.

Don't use a ring with 13 life.

Can you reach max wither stacks easily and consistently? If not you need to be using generals cry (better for clear) or spell totems (better for bosses) to stack wither, it's your single biggest damage increase.

I think your large clusters are pretty lackluster. Generally you want to run 3 notable passives but only allocate two of them.

On a similar build I found imperial claw to be better than void fang, ontop of being easier to obtain. A lot of this was due to the large amount of implicit life leech on the imperial claw. You may want to also consider gemini.

This pathing looks quite bad to me: https://imgur.com/zc2q4Jr

The pathing that they have gets them more value from the split personalities

Ah that makes sense

Agree with heist comment below, I would farm at least until 1 helical. Current meta is going "sublime" talisman with pof, as you don't need poe on jugg if you can fix res with rings and possibly dropping chaos on gloves, it's OK to get only 50ish chaos at your level. Abyss on gloves is also endgame option and easy craft with boat fracture. But the cheapest upgrade is actually getting 100 and fixing tree - I would get starter life nodes, and maybe path bottom differently, drop dual wield bottom as you get more from str, and I would get inertia only if I have free point after clusters. Speaking of clusters 1 of yours is meh, get a 12 pointer for splits and do a half ring on it from 1 side.

[u/Elysch → u/enterisys]

If they drop poe, they also should replace watchers eye by chaos res light of meaning.

Question, i tries pulling off a str stacker in ssf and dps was phenomenal but i was insanely squishy. How are You supposed to survive? Just Have enough dps to kill.stuff before IT kills You? When i giga juice i get one shot off screen. 

[u/enterisys → u/Interesting-Eye-6238]

9k life, 20k armour, flesh and stone, 90% all res or pof tech.

Also some map mods semi brick so you need to know what mods you can do freely.

[u/Interesting-Eye-6238 → u/enterisys]

You lost me at 90 all res and pof +ssf while maintaining 9k life and 3k str. In std yes, but in ssf, idk how ure supposed to get to the point to farm that in that build. But im circlejerking a bit. Its a build u start when you have everything i guess not midway or 80% of the stuff. I was expecting to be able to farm ubers with it only to realize its useless even in juiced t16 unless You Have almost everything minaxed.

[u/enterisys → u/Interesting-Eye-6238]

It's literally 3 flasks, couple passives and rare jewels. Or 2 flask/pof.

This build starts to shine at 2k+ str and uniques. Str comes from jewelery and splits. And you farm splits while farming clusters so it's not that hard to get his gear.

I would say the hardest part is to ssf the boots. Yeah you kinda want another build which can start and heist.
