3.9| Stress-Free PoE - CURSING CI |SSF the Atlas w/ 1 Button & Any Gear|Dungeon Crawl PoE!
"Hey Findejs! Thanks for giving the build a shot! I'm always open for feedback so let me know how it goes. I don't play HC so I don't really know when you should go CI in that regard. But the CI pros and cons can help you decide your preference. The sooner you go CI, the sooner you can ignore Chaos and Poison damage. That's nice because you don't have to worry about your Life because you will always have low amounts of health, no matter your gear, as I have almost no Life on the tree at all. Waiting to go CI gives you the benefit of using flasks to heal up while levelling but you'll be really dependant on good rolls and RNG while levelling (like high life rolls and good flasks). If I was going HC with this build, I'd have a Life tree designed first that'd take me to level 60 (just in case). Then, no matter the level, whenever I was happy with my ES gear, I'd respec into the guide's ES tree and then go CI. Anyway, sorry it's not a direct answer. It's really a preference of gameplay comfort. As I don't play HC, I go CI right away as I'm ok dying once or twice during the campaign. Let us know how the HC life goes! https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

My occultist died today. Oneshoted by metamorph (how surprising) in the end of act 7 :( I don't blame you and your build, it was my wrong decision and fault to do metamorph.
Over all I would recommend this build!! :) Last edited by Kminek666#4837 on Feb 3, 2020, 7:00:03 PM

"Dang. I'm sorry. That really sucks. Levelling is the hardest part of the game in my opinion. Obviously, it's even more difficult in HC. The choices that need to be made while levelling have so much more ramifications than they do compared to when you're already set up with a decent tree and gear. Sorry for the outcome. (Some Metamorphs are almost impossible (which I actually really love).) https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Feb 3, 2020, 7:02:37 PM

A bit of feedback Wrecker_of_Days
I crafted a nice Vaal Regalia and 5-linked it. With Swift Affliction, I now have some dps. I also crafted gloves and boots for some more ES. With now 9990 ES I feel better ! Even if it's not fabulous dps, I can now rush rare T 8-10 maps and I'm progressively doing corrupted rares T12+ maps. All seems to go fine for now. I will aim to reach lvl 92 (delving's nice for xp) for one more passive. A note : I found "Energy from Within" jewel and it helped me gain some ES by changing a bit the path to reach Scion nodes of the passive tree. No loss at all of passive points, just a different path. Thanks a lot for all advices, it payed off ! I think I'll now try to craft boots with nice ES and add modifier for "speed + can't be chilled". It should help a lot for higher levels.

"Awesome D7rkounnet! I love that there's always room for improvement with this game. Great job on your gear! You have more ES than I do now! Good job! And good job making the tree your own as well! Feel free to ask any questions you like or just post for the fun of it. Let us know how the progress goes! https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

Just wanted to say thanks Wrecker for all the builds. I had this as a league starter and I gotta say this is a very solid build. My first try against Sirus was a fail, but I was kinda unfamiliar with all the mechanics. Now I gotta defeat the elders again and try my luck next time.
Also I had this nice veiled wand as a drop today (lightning dmg aside) and wanted to share it: Last edited by Steezbutter#6297 on Feb 16, 2020, 6:54:26 PM

"Thanks for the kind post Steezbutter! I appreciate the encouragement! I had to bail on a guide this league so every bit helps ;). Sirus is a tough fight. Don't be discouraged. It's one, like you said, that just takes familiarity. There are lots of one-shot-kill attacks that he does. And nice wand! It's nice when you can get something that flows well with the build you're playing. Nice find/craft/buy! I appreciate the time you took to be so kind. Thank you. I'm glad you like them. If you have any suggestions or advice for the guides or builds, please let me know. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

Just a quick compliment for the great guide, the flexibility in gearing is fantastic!
Going to give it a try this late in the league to see if I'll enjoy it as a league starter in a few weeks time (but I'm sure I will by the looks of it). Will keep you posted! |

Hi Wrecker, hi community!
Giving this nice build a try since Saturday and still leveling. I dare say, switching early to CI was challenging. Especially since i‘m new to CI anyway, but it is possible. Now, at the beginning of Act 8, i‘m done with the hardest part. I more and more like the build. It brings everything i hoped for: - relaxed playstyle for the old man, no knots in the fingers - more insights in crafting since SSF - not a cheap build, just requiring 20 EX+.... OK, as it is SSF, the last point is not counting anyway.... I have brought a question for the community. As i‘m currently still levelling, how is your experience with especially incursions and breaches with this build ? And Wrecker, keep up the good work !

"Hey GreyBrainCell! That's very kind of you! Thank you! I look forward to hearing what you think, even if you don't like it. Who knows what 3.10 will bring, but the guide will be updated for 3.10 for sure. Thanks again! I appreciate it. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast
