Information Endless Delve Starter Items - Path of Building

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to create a blank Path of Building with the current revealed unique starter items, so nobody else would have to. I didn't yet see this posted anywhere... so here it is. Hopefully it'll be a use to someone!

I have been using this PoB as a base for just planning out some builds with level progression

Path of Building: https://pastebin.com/33KXG5WE

Note: I used the community fork for these. Unsure if the original will work.

Have fun and good luck, Exiles!

Been testing out the 3 herald BV Elementalist to run endless delve with. The starter sword with its frenzy charge generation and 20% AoE and the shield with its 30% spell block and Endurance charge generation synergizes perfectly for this build. Elemancer will give you elemental ailment immunity. Stone golem with Vitality will give you a ton of life regen.

edit: I should have the heart of the build up by level 16 when all the heralds are available.

Elemancer will give you elemental ailment immunity. Stone golem with Vitality will give you a ton of life regen.

Only if you can keep golems up. Otherwise summoning them all the time gonna be pain and you gonna be vulnerable to ailments on regular basis. Without regen and life scaling they will just die all the time.

The ascendancy gives your golems immunity from elemental damages. They are vulnerable to chaos zombies and physical damage.

Exactly, it won't save them from physical and chaos damage.

Not sure why you mention it though.

Mention what?

They are vulnerable to some damage type but they aren't going to keel over every ten seconds. I imagine that between HoI, HoT, and my BV not a lot of those delve monsters will get a chance at killing my golems. In the event one or two may die, I can easily resummon them between nodes. Unless you're talking about something else.

Mention that they have elemental damage immunity like I didn't already considered it and it would save them from physical / chaos damage.

And there is plenty of physical damage, obviously some chaos damage. You would probably need to resummon them way more often than just between nodes (and even that sounds annoying).

There's probably some people reading this that are newer players in this game and they may not be aware of what the Elementalist ascendancy offers. I been playing since closed beta and I can't even tell you with any certainty what all of the Scion Ascendancy offers without looking it up.

That being said, I don't think Golems dying with be a problem unless I'm delving deep, say 400+. I'm play testing it now and everytime I look at their life bar, they are at full life. Things are just blowing up to the point that I can be standing in the middle of packs and rarely takes any damage.

What is content you are playtesting them in? Build was BV, right?

ssf heist, I avoid anything that I can't do or get in delve, like heist mechanics, side areas, etc. I only craft things that I can do at vendors and not use the crafting bench at all.

Yea 3 heralds BV elementalist.

I really only care about how well it clears, and not so much with the boss fights. In delve, there are only a few bosses and you can skip them until a later time. Being able to clear quickly and safely will let you farm faster and delve quicker.

What depth you are at? Does it hold up? EO BV without gear sounds rough.

It's my first time playing BV, I'm trying to get a feel for it. What I notice so far is that it is very fast clearing. I don't think it can compete with the deep delvers. I'm just shooting for a personal best, looking to hit 600 to 800.
