[3.24] 💥💫 The (Arch)Blade Blast Unloader 🗡️🔪🔫 - Screenwide 30m-55m Pinnacle DPS? Say yes to FUN!
Which version should I go for assuming I have a Mageblood and 40 divines? I got super lucky yesterday on Xbox and dropped a corrupted 4 flask MB in a T16. This build seems like a lot of fun to reroll to. Prices are pretty expensive on console so not sure which version to focus on with my budget + first ever Mageblood.
Thanks for the help! Edit: I also just had a Ralakesh drop if that helps. Last edited by TiltedSpade on Apr 8, 2024, 10:36:41 AM

" I do have some of the stuff already like heatshiver enhance 3 and what not, but yeah no ralakesh still. I looked at SSF blade blasts and most saboteurs were some sort of cold/hybrid conversion with 0 uniques so I was wondering if thats the correct play with it! | |
" Hej! Hehe :D no worries! Energy shield leech is about "half" as effective as regular life leech, because GGG probably wanted people to invest passives before ES leech felt as good as life leech. A huge consequence of you reserving more than 50% of your life is that you lose one of Petrified Blood's biggest bonuses - it gives "overleech", meaning even after your target has died, your health pool continues to have life flowing into it. So if you take another hit, that leech fills it right back up. With this Ivory Tower route your HP won't have this overleech, plus you have very little life, and you really need your ES to cover for it. I'd say if you don't at least put in the ES leech gem, you're going to burn or get poisoned to death real quick, or run out of mana and then be unable to fight back. So while I don't think Ivory Tower is great for sustain, it's at least serviceable and actually mandatory. I'd still highly recommend just dropping the 50% aura and using something like Vitality or Defiance Banner so you reserve less than 50% of your life, this will make you MUCH hardier as you can absorb a number of small hits, and have your HP bounce back from a combination of Recoup, Life Leech and Vitality all "pouring" life back into your precious little globe. No matter what - get Perandus Pact and upgrade that jewellery! Haha! 💥💫BB Unloader 1000% AoE 70m DPS🗡️🔪🔫: view-thread/3466787

" What the? Are you the wealthiest Xbox player right now in that case? Fucking congrats man!! This is a GREAT build for console as you don't really have to aim, if I dare say so myself. I think you should really look at Ben's variant though. (see first page) I built last league's Power Charge stacking versions around the fact that they were laughably cheap, and it would have been bad faith to NOT let people have that speed and power for like, 2 div. But it did mean a lot of people croaked to a stiff breeze. I'm not sure you can really make use of the Badge of the Brotherhood speed on a stick rather than KBM either. 40 divines will build you a very tanky phys version of it with a somewhat lower DPS ceiling, but you will be able to crush all content and push the build further. If you really do want to make use of Ralakesh - do the cold convert version. Freezing is an immense safety layer and the high DPS ceiling makes it worth it. Just run defensive ascendancies and drop some crit nodes for CRIT REDUCING NODES (and definitely determination + crit reduction) this league. 💥💫BB Unloader 1000% AoE 70m DPS🗡️🔪🔫: view-thread/3466787

" Cold conversion works just great because BBoU scales excellently with just gem levels and the base mechanics! It's also hugeeeeely buffed for Single Target (my DPS calc below will explain why) So just do the usual defenses (5k life, suppression, crit avoidance, overcapped res) and see where to push it from there. 💥💫BB Unloader 1000% AoE 70m DPS🗡️🔪🔫: view-thread/3466787

GUYS! THE DPS CALCULATOR IS AT LAST HERE!
Good news - looks like our single target is actually way more busted than we thought, especially with Automation-Recall targetting being more precise than leftclick-Recall targetting. Our brands are constantly on the boss and this allows us to get stacks even when Recall is on CD FAST. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bMDbaIPas-ER6-Nv2n6RUU0pCzodxDb-QNA6TY6fnEM/edit?usp=sharing Make a copy and explore! Hopefully this also answers how big Runebinder is for damage -- looks around 30% for just 2/3 points! 💥💫BB Unloader 1000% AoE 70m DPS🗡️🔪🔫: view-thread/3466787

Gotcha! I will try report back on it, maybe craft some nice sceptre/wand for it first with graveyard thanks a lot! | |
" Hey DC, be sure to read my reply above but it did also occur to me that you could trash the 50% aura and run Discipline intead, leaning into your ES stacking. Then, crucially, get a Watcher's Eye with ES on Hit with Discipline. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Necropolis/8yGWGuV That should feel a lot more comfy. Try to get under 50% life reserved so you get overleech as well. 💥💫BB Unloader 1000% AoE 70m DPS🗡️🔪🔫: view-thread/3466787

Guys, I've found a massive band-aid for this build (and all your crit builds).
It costs: 1 Jewel socket, 1 skill gem socket.. but the payoff is huge this league. These are selling for literally 20-60c right now. You don't have to actually enfeeble anything. Just cast the spell. This is insane value for 100% crit ignore. (Runner up: Mistwalker FF I guess, but more expensive.) 💥💫BB Unloader 1000% AoE 70m DPS🗡️🔪🔫: view-thread/3466787

Can I do t17 maps with this build, especially with the archmage version? I'm not talking about boss killing, just map running. Thank for the build btw.
