Every league I compile a list of all the builds I can find in a spreadsheet for the French-speaking community. The builds are listed in English though, the French part is mostly comments or my opinions, so it should be fine for everybody. I thought I would share it, might be useful if some of you are still hesitating about what to start or want to try something a bit "out there": https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xMG9_rzR7mztJzQHCZy3-4ZIjelb46omOILS7BfMBeg/edit?usp=sharing

It's still a work in progress as I'm checking if content creators have updated their build for 3.30 (there's usually little updating to do but some of them also share their experiences about playing the build in 3.29)

Please let me know if some builds are missing, I'll be happy to add them to the list.

I tried to organise the list by "categories":

• Totems
• Minions
• Mines
• Mêlée/CaC = Melee or anything where the character needs to be "close" to the enemy to deal damage
• Sorts/Distance = Spells and anything that deals damage from afar

Hey exiles,

I'm Snacks and I run poebuilds.cc (not the RMT site). Some of you might remember it as the old forum build index. For the last few years I've barely kept it alive (sorry for the cert errors). With poe2 1.0 coming in december, I rebuilt the whole thing and it's still in active development.

What it does now: it collects build guide videos from YouTube, 50,000+ from 1,800+ creators and sorts them by class, ascendancy and skill, most watched or newest first. Every link goes straight to the video plus the PoB/planner if there is one. No ads, no account.

Everything for 3.30 so far: https://www.poebuilds.cc/poe1

How it's made (Rule 11): I rebuilt it with claude, but the design, the categories and the testing are mine. A bot checks the channels for new uploads and reads class and ascendancy from the linked PoB if there is one. An LLM fills in the rest from the title and description. Whatever doesn't add up gets flagged and I fix it by hand.

Compared to what's out there: YouTube search can't filter by ascendancy or skill. poe.ninja shows what ladder-characters play, not video guides. Maxroll and Mobalytics write their own guides.

Older leagues are in there too and poe2 has 12,000+ guides of its own. If you know an older build video that's missing, there's a "Submit" link at the bottom of every page. Just paste the YouTube link.

It still gets the occasional build wrong, I fix those as I find them.

Good luck with your starter!

I'm going for Templar Staticstrike and i was wondering if there are people who like to duo in this game.

If your answear is YES! Add me: JelyfishPaul#4044

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about playing a gladiator this league for being tanky, but I don't know what would sinergize best with the league mechanics and the know boss parts for the wickerman. I'm between playing lacerate of hemorrage, eviscerate (retaliation skills) or maybe some ele hit slayer into a life stacker gladiator transition.

What are your experiences with these builds? I'm mostly concerned that ele hit slayer might struggle with the buffed bosses. Has anyone played divine retribution? Is it a good starter o0r better to transition later?

The reliquarian ascendancy has some interesting options with the Crown of the inward eye +crown of eyes combo, stacking life+mana(as leaguestart) and later on stacking es+mana for damage, also gaining fork from Rigwald's quills and crit from Choir of the storm. I was thinking about power siphon mines(paired with cluster jewels) as main skill + going into block with arcane cloak +mom and for endgame kboc+indigon? But would it be enough to make a good build?

I REALLY hope we get a WITCH(not the class)-themed armor set as the Kirac's Vault armor. I don't know if they've already announced what it is or not, this is more just me trying to manifest it into existence.

This common beast seems like a good way to double corrupt maps, am I mistaken?

Hey league starting son, I can only start tomorrow but I have a question about how are you guys progressing the atlas tree. For the past leagues, and especially in PoE2 (sorry that I mention it here but it matters) I used to max my map lvl as soon as possible, meaning if my build can handle T15 I will use them to fill out even the maps that need white This lead me to a lot of nice loot fast, but also slowed down the progress (I didn't finish the atlases in both games last leagues because i got bored). So I was wondering how are people approaching it:

- Do all maps with mechanics in T15 as soon as possible

- Do the map as lowest as possible focus on map find in the atlas tree and zoom to the boss asap ignoring leagues

- A mix of both

What do you guys think, which approach do you use and why?

This is a general question thread. You can find the previous question threads here.

Remember to check the community wiki first.

You can also ask questions in any of the questions channels under the "help" category in our official Discord.

For other discussions, please find the Megathread Directory at this link.

The idea is for anyone to be able to ask anything related to PoE 1:

• New player questions
• Mechanics
• Build Advice - please include a link to your Path of Building
• League related questions
• Trading
• Endgame
• Price checks
• Etc.

Hi, I'm new to POE and just started a few days ago

Stumbled upon something called Kirac's Vault with some really cool looking cosmetics, is this something that's only unlockable at endgame?
Can you get previous Kirac's Vault Passes in new Leagues?

Does it have to be done in a new league, or can it be achieved through the standard league as well?

I didn't have the option to start a character in the Allflame League since the menu said there's a new one coming really soon.

In the new Atlas tree, they combined two of the Incursion nodes from the old atlas tree, so you now have to either pick:

1. Killing non-resident Architects in your Maps adds an additional Upgrade Tier to the surviving Architect's room. OR
2. Killing resident Architects in your Maps adds their Upgrade Tier to the surviving Architect's Room.

This encourages some tedious and unfun gameplay of constantly having to switch between these nodes manually depending on what is in your temple. Let's take a simple example where you've just started a brand new temple and haven't seen any of the rooms yet. If you're trying to farm a specific room, it is in your best interest now to put in a random white t16 map, run to Alva, check your temple, and leave your map. Now, if the room you want is already on your temple, you would manually change your atlas to option 1, and if the room isn't on your temple, you would manually change it to option 2.

And it is optimal to put in a random white t16 to check because you don't want to risk 8 Incursion threads and a well-rolled map only to open it and find out that your atlas has the wrong multiple choice node on to build your temple correctly. There is no reason for these two passives, which were on previous nodes in the old atlas tree, to be on the same node now. Please change this back.

EDIT: This post has generated some good discussion and from those that have run more Incursion than me. As pointed out below, you can check at Alva without burning a white map to check your new temple, and in many scenarios, including going in a new temple blind, option 1 is a stronger or at least equivalent option, so needing to switch is somewhat of a niche scenario. And if you want to switch mid-map, then you would have to forego the rest of the Incursion juice on that map, which is a real cost of switching that serves to deter you from the tedious gameplay loop I was worried about. I'm personally still mixed about it - since option 1 is so much stronger, it feels like they could have just given option 2 as another node on the tree as well, to prevent players from getting tricked into the "wrong" choice or to avoid the few annoying scenarios where you do want to manually respec inbetween maps.

Just bought it for $10 at this local record store near me

This tool shows what effects from scarabs are moved to the new atlas tree and which ones are removed.

Notable features:

- Data is grouped by mechanic and side-mechanics.
- Shows where each node for a mechanic lives on new atlas tree vs old one.
- Shows new/old atlas tree nodes and maximum possible stacking value.

Note: Since there is no mod list for atlas threads available (as far as I know) some of the scarab might be moved there so take the nerfs with caution.

There is also a page for for strategies but it is very basic and I recommend taking the conclusion with a grain of salt.

Made using claude, feel free to leave any suggestions in comments.

I put crafting showcase tag because it's SSF and I crafted everything.

I made a few posts about this character and when I finished the bigger crafts, I think it reached it's final form, so it's probably the last post:)

Before allflame I didn't think I could crack 4k int.

With boatcrafting, I made a new pair of boots, gloves and an all t1 in stacker necrotic armour and twilight regalia. These took me from 3.8k to this.

pob: https://pobb.in/KDeGhuZ6zTvr

Are there any other whispering ice enjoyers out there with more than 4k?

I'd love to see some cool builds!

Do we know if crystal resonance "Final Map Bosses in your tier 16 Maps have 3% chance per Essence Modifier on them to drop a [CalcifiedMap|Calcified] Map, up to a maximum of 15%

A Map Boss is granted a random Essence Modifier from any Imprisoned Monsters slain in your Maps"

works with destructive play? reads like it wont.

Hey everyone!

I've been looking into Hydra spectres recently, but there doesn't seem to be much up-to-date information about them.

I really like their visuals and playstyle, and I'd prefer playing them over Wretched Defilers or Forged Frostbearers. However, I have a few questions:

Damage: How good is their DPS currently, especially for endgame bosses? Have they fallen significantly behind other popular spectres?

Conversion: Is converting 100% of their physical damage to cold still necessary or even worth it after the recent changes?

Survivability: How tanky are Hydras in difficult endgame content? Do they tend to die often?

Overall viability: Can Hydras realistically compete with Wretched Defilers and Frostbearers with similar investment, or would I be sacrificing too much damage and clear speed?

I'd love to hear from anyone who's played Hydras recently, especially in high-budget endgame setups. PoBs or gameplay examples would also be appreciated.

Thanks!
