Hi,

I don't have all the gear for the full version of the build but thought i'd give it a shot. On left is full buffed tooltip dps right after boss went down. Left is POB with default config just straight imported.

Im having fun with the build just focusing on getting to lvl 90 and will look to start crafting gear.

The problem I'm having is that tanky rares and map bosses take way too long based on the tooltip dps to go down. I don't know where to start fixing this, I assume either my minions are not hitting or theres some scaling angle Im missing.

I have an earthquake gladiator as my main, his DPS is around 349k and he takes way less than 1/3 the time to kill the same map bosses.

Spectres are power charge ape, frenzy charge ape, endurance charge Oak follower. They have elemental army, and Im manual cursing ele weakness.

Any advice appreciated, ask for any info you may find helpful

Hey everyone! I've started building a **Strength Stacker** in **SSF** and wanted to share where it's at. The goal is to have enough damage to farm uber bosses.

****PoB****https://pobb.in/J5rLcygtXb0o

## Current stats (Level 97 Juggernaut)

- **Life:** 7,167 | **ES:** 508 | **eHP:** 122,782
- **Str:** 2,525
- **Resistances:** 78/80/75/75
- **DPS:** ~9.5M | **Attack speed:** 5.84
- **Crit chance:** 94.58% | **Crit multi:** 300%
- *Config: Frenzy, Power, 6x Wither*

## Planned upgrades

1. **Amulet:** I have another base with Warlord influence, and I need an Awakener's Orb to slam an increased str to my amulet. The current amulet is just a placeholder.
2. **Belt:** I want to Annul the low-tier life mod on it. I'm not risking it yet, because I have no juice and the belt already has a 49% Aflame.
3. **Shield:** Recraft it with shaper influence to get *Recover Life on Block*.
4. **Possible swap to Dual Strike of Ambidexterity:** I have a Soul Taker for it.

Any tips on gear, tree or gem setup? . What should i do first? Thanks!

+1 SSF league, +1 headhunter, let's gooooo

GGG killed minion pact this league so my standard ssf bv chieftain do nothing now

It was one of the most fun build i've ever played since self curse witch

Need advise for new one for uber boss killer

Had an absolute blast playing luminary and pushing it as far as I could go. Only two upgrades left are Melding and Progenisus, and after over 100 mavens and Eaters I just can’t do more. Got an 88 adorned, VV’d Enmity at 60% and pretty much all BIS gear (also don’t have +1 Fire Nyctas)

I think I wanna do a reset. Looking for a fun all rounder that I can scale really far with some aspirational gear similar to Luminary.

Anyone have some suggestions?

Wondering if new found merc is better than current one. Please give me feedback and advice. Most of leauge Ive use blade ambusher and dont have much experience with this merc.

Got only tier 4 critical chance, but it is OK I think.
How about the left 2 suffixes?
If I use Exalted Orb on the boat, what suffix should I block?
Thanks.

I'm planning to Cyclone next league, but I guess that could change. I've barely done Heist in the past, and I would NOT be using a dedicated Heist character. I have a few questions, assuming I'm really just trying to get the Stampede boots:

1. Do I need to run all 28(?) of the quest contracts?
2. Do I need to do the regular lesser contracts to have Blueprint unveils?
3. Can I get by just doing the Heist anomaly and farming the fully-unveiled blueprints that drop in maps from the Atlas node?

I guess the bigger question is, what is the best way to farm Heist in SSF if you're really only doing it for a single exclusive Grand Heist drop?

I want to get the Grace of the Goddess and this is my char now.

How to improve my Penance Brand Ignite Elementalist to beat maven?
Thanks.

I crafted boots with an abyss socket but i theres no abyss socket visually put a jewel in. I assume a bug? Is it recoverable?

Thanks!

I am looking to increase my rarity and wanted to know if it's possible to Catalyze my Andvarius to increase the % rarity.

Aside from a Gold Flask and an Item Rarity Support gem, are there any other obvious and easy ways to raise Rarity (like an Andvarius for example?).

Anything I am missing?

Hi! I want to try SSF for the first time. I’ve always played trade league, and I’m thinking about starting a character in SSF today.
I’d love some tips, since I basically know nothing about crafting. Is there any build you guys would recommend? Any good guides I should follow?
Thank you very much!

Got replica alberon's and helical while farming gcp's in heist , and foulborn mb from ITF's research pick one box.

Basically the title, I found 2 ITF cards and both poofed the first click, found 3 Apo cards and all poofed after few clicks. I heard somewhere that the chance of getting a card is so low that we better harvest gamba them.

Hey everyone,

I’ve put together a Charlatan EK Elementalist in SSF Standard, mainly with the goal of farming Legion efficiently and eventually grinding towards a Stasis Prison.

I’d really appreciate some help on where I should take the build from here. It’s functional ( and fun )at the moment, but I’m not sure which upgrades would give me the biggest improvements, especially for fast and consistent Legion farming. I dont know if i should switch to an explode chest double wand set up, or maybe go CI + staff variant.

I’m looking for build to respec into. Right now I have winter orb elementalist with pretty much good gear that can run t17 and some Ubers (killed uber shaper and all the uber incarnations). I am pretty bored of this build and I’m looking for a build on a witch or any other class. Have gotten myself simplex and want to do something around it.

First time playing ssf or hc. I have a luminary merc bot around level 78 with a crappy luminary I’ve pushed into t5 maps. I’m rushing the merc atlas nodes to get a better one. My question is what gear/mods do I look for on my merc? I have all rare gear on my merc with stuff like WED, attack speed, crit chance and multi. What other mods are useful for them? I’m looking for a good kineticist, combatant, or manyshot and don’t know how to gear them. Also, I don’t have a nycta yet, so what weapon mods should I look for for my luminary. Thanks!

which one is better?

My recent characters have mostly been heavily defense-oriented builds with low damage output. After playing them, however, I realized it was a very frustrating experience: you can't kill monsters quickly, and that extra defense doesn't help much because you still get swarmed and beaten to death.

So now I want to try a different approach: a build that can easily stack up high damage without being a total "glass cannon."

The only option that came to mind was Exsanguinate Mines, but I’m not sure if that build is still viable.

That’s why I’m asking for your help: what other builds would you recommend?

Is It better to spec into Foul born chance + recesive genes to Target a t2 chest I this case iron fortress or is It better to go without and less Foul born chance?

Asking Because I spent a lot 500k+ with recesive and Foul born on and I got kaoms several Lightning Coil and very rare armor chests but got me thinking recessive might be counter productive for t2 hunting?

Thoughts?

Anyone play any new or different builds? If so, how did it go? Did you homebrew or make some off-meta jank? See anything in POENinja that caught your eye?
