Okay this build is insane. Are you here as a new player looking for something reliable in the mix? This is absolutely 100% the build for you. Big shout out to the creator and to the work you put in.

Couple things.
Get Vaal Skeles asap. Vaal Skeles (you can use both normal Skeletons and Vaal skeletons, look in your hotbar) feels entirely satisfying, raising an army of 30 minions with the click of a button is nuts.

Get shield charge + Faster Attacks. I don't know if it is because I am used to Flame Dash and Leap Slam, but Shield Charge makes me skim across maps faster than I thought possible with a movement skill. I think it is because we get % of Minion buffs applied to our character? At least that's what I think.

Lastly, if you look at my gear my gear is absolute trash. I haven't spent more than 1c this entire league and just hit A10.

There is so much room for improvement, I can see why some folks are reluctant to clear top maps. PoE got huge boss buffs recently. I encourage you to tweak this build to your liking. Looking forward to maps today.

Thanks Exile!


You used to invest a lot of chaos orbs to progress through the story ? I think you are playing the game wrong.



Lol this is a horrid attempt to troll - "no more than 1c" means alc gear - which currently runs what a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio?

These trolls are getting super butt hurt - must be the Holiday season or something. Merry Xmas :)


I think their point was more that you really don't need to spend any currency at all before you've finished the campaign and reached endgame.
So... ruthless, multistrike, melee splash or impale? Is there a definitive answer to use what for what?

Edit: Bought it for 3ex, anulled a spell damage mod and crafted minion damage <3


Dunno for which of my wands I switch tho.

Another question: Is vaal skellies 21/23 for 5.4ex (trade price) worth it?

This is what PoB was made for, everything will be much clear for you if you just use it.
Unfortunately impale support only calculates the %15 increase physical it doesn't show the impale dps on Pob

Just imo, no it's not. Level 21 skellies is fine enough. I'd rather spend the 5 ex in something that gives you more of an advantage or some extra survivability.
According to my pob Impale is litteraly 1k dps better than melee physical support. As long as there is no hidden mechanic pob is not calculating, i wont socket a gem that fully relys on a 40% procc and need to stacking dex somewhere to give me 1k dps more than a 100% uptime gem.

Leveling was fine with impale, but for the endgame i will switch back to melee physical if no one can change my mind.

Edit: If i drop feeding frenzy, not only the gem but disabling the condition and then socket impale as replacement, i get 100k(!) dps gain.

Is the aggressive stance really needed? Does 100k dps loss justify something like that?

Best DPS setup you can get with non-awakened gems: Vaal Skeleton - Impale - Multistrike - Minion Damage - Melee Physical - Brutality

Killed my first Awakener lvl 6 after many attempts! I would've been able to do it deathless but I didn't know that when he teleports you inside the crater he can block a direction within the ring with a wall so I kept trying to go CCW but I'd auto path towards the center of the crater and die lol since CCW was blocked.

This guide really helped me https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/edr9zf/killed_the_awakener_deathless_the_fight_is_easier/?st=k4l6q6ea&sh=b59f6ac0

Think I'm going to switch to Multistrike though instead of Ruthless. I was using a defensive setup too when fighting him and my DPS was still really good against him, if I used my other wand + maybe a ruthless support gem I might be able to skip his third phase

Why multi instead of ruthless ? When I test in pob ruthless is almost 60k more dps.(Base skelly damage is 400k)
