[3.25]g00fy_goober's EleBuzzsaw Deadeye (Easily Clear All Content) *REVAMPED AGAIN*

Unplayable.
No defence layers, dies at t1-t2 map with bunch of flat hp and Belly.
Forget about Syndicate and Betreyal league mechanics - you'll just die in 9 fight out of 10.
Items are pretty expensive at start.
Low HP increase in skilltree.
Maybe mob damage in 3.5 was rebelanced and increased - i dunno. But in fact - this build cannot go through.
League start ended for me, and i have no energy to start another character.
Play Arc (like 60% playerbase in this addon). Chris want this. Frogot about offmeta. 99% skillgems are dead, 90% defence mechanics are useless.
Sad but true.

Hi since you changed the Gemsetup with 3.5 is now Herald of Thunder maybe the better choice?
When I exchange the Heralds in PoB the DPS goes up but maybe I am doing something wrong here

is it really that bad? I'm at act 5 right now and it really feels a lot weaker than other builds, but I was hoping its only leveling that bad. Anyone else could share their experience?

From a noob's (albeit not new to the game) perspective: yes.

I can't vouch for the validity of this build in this season, and I'm sure it wouldn't be so popular on the forum if it was bad, but it's definitely not a fun, nor easy league starter.

Something always seems to be lacking, and I guess there are two bad experiences for someone who is still not too skilled in the game: lack of damage and dying. Somehow I experienced both, despite having max resists (before the 2nd Kitava fight anyway) and trying to roll max hp everywhere, plus having finished 2 ascendancies. The lack of single target damage however was even worse, because with slow projectiles switched instead of GMP, I had to face them really close, but that usually just meant more damage taken - though it was fun when I had point blank node, and lifestealed 2-3 Syndicate members.

In this league fast damage and survivability becomes very important even early on, so it's not fun when you either fail Syndicate missions, or Syndicate members 2 shot you (*cough* Perandus, It...).

I definitely don't play the most optimally, but I did much more than an average new player could, and it was still a mixed experience. For comparison, last league was my first where I actually played the game and didn't just get bored around Act 3-4, and it was a breeze with Freezing Pulse. I had the shittiest gear, no life nodes, no understanding of boss mechanics, but other than dying to some bosses on the 2nd part, it was fun and easy. Now I kept alching, fusing and crafting the newest items, branching out to health and evasion early on, finishing ascendancies, but it was still just so-so.

I did luck out an Exalt though, so I will keep an eye on this thread, and once people theorize some new items or tips and tricks, I'll try to give it another go. Right now, I don't want to grind maps in hopes of the build becoming fun.

Edit: to be fair, reading through some other build threads, many seem to struggle as well, so I guess the league is just generally harder.

Question, Doesnt show that you use a IC + CwDT setup anywhere. Is that no mas?


I use CwDT setup over the orb of storms setup until super late endgame bosses. It really saves you when you first start gearing/leveling up and into red maps.

This is a good starter Tip especially when there is much Gearing to do.
CWDT lvl 3 + Immortal Call 6 + Inc Duration. Helps against one-shots and gives you the possibility to bring yourself to safety. Another one is when you Modify the Curs on hit Setup with Temp Chains or Enfeeble as a Curse.
For Bosses or the Heavy Hitting old Masters, you can use a Decoy Totem instead of the Ancient Defender.

to the guys saying the build is bad for starting , im having a very different expirience.

i came back to poe 2 days ago after quitting yeeaars ago. (act 4 was brand new last time i played...). so while not completly new im newbish.

and so far ive been stomping through the content with this build and selffound stuff. at lvl 47 im just running through evrything, i died maybe 4 times only to to lazyness and clear rooms in 3-5 seconds, facetanking(again lazyness) bigger enemies with some flask usage.

and im just now picking up the claw skills since i had no good claw so far. also suboptimal 4L setup (only have faster attack&point blank for useful support skills) but most things die in one attack if i wait for the return.


dunno why exactly your expirience is so different then mine but im having a blast and im speeding through content. the early /mid level were a bit more annoying and i was still using bows with toxicrain etc cause i didnt realize i can buy spectral throw at the start ;)


(also god damn this game improved so much...)

2 abyss sockets is huge obviously get that if u can when you can afford. Starting with rare gloves is fine.

Build does just fine, have had lots of positive feedback on betrayal as well. If build is not for you sorry to hear that, but works just fine. Plenty of defensive layers and damage!

Herald of thunder was always a tad more cuz its lightning dmg, but herald of ice shatter + clear + curse spread just feels so good.

400 pages and been strong as hell for so many leagues with no issues. I am sure build is not for everyone and there might be easier or cheaper builds out there, but obviously if the build was trash it wouldn't have been around since early 2.0 and have 400 pages of almost all positive feedback :)

Very new guy here so I really need to use PoB to know everything I must use but PoB says the pastebin is invalid code

when is the ancestral protector ever used? didnt even see it on ur hotkey bar in that video? for bosss fights?
