What recommendations do you have for a build with a 15div budget? I’ve done Woolie’s Run and Gun WH (very fun), ED/C lich and a WA Titan. I mostly enjoy just running maps and like AOE. To the extent there are build guides or in-depth explanations you can link, that would be helpful, as 0.4 is the first time I’ve played semi-regularly. Thanks.
look for jungroan oil grenade+ incinerate., its busted to the point that u dont even need 1 div and u can do all content with easy. trivialised the game to the point that i just stopped playing...
My lich Wolfpack and CoC entangle oracle both got up and running for less than that, especially now that HH is so cheap.
The Wolfpack was quite fun and unique, mix between melee and minions.
Oracle is pretty similar to other CoC builds, just using entangle instead of spark.
if you like clear, the best clear i've ever felt (since lightning spear literally used to one shot entire screens)
is spark+arc in coc, you press left click and basically you shoot lightning 360 degrees and the whole screen dies when it procs (was using blood mage with pinpoint critical)
the problem with this is, in order to actually get tanky, its gonna cost way more than 15 div. i am currently trying to solve this problem myself, i have 100 div and its still not enough to be tanky lol.
btw if youre not that strong, farm cleansed zones for fracturing orbs, ive made all my currency off about 5 fracturing orb drops and i run blue maps to minimize the damage mods that roll. so even though im squishy and can't handle pinnacle content or juiced abyss i am trying to save up for upgrades
DM me if you want some currency my league is ending, I'll toss some divs ur way

My build of this league, not sure i will ever be able to enjoy another build. On low budget you can dominate the whole game and any content. Pin is an insane defence layer and the high and es leech is just too good via flash grenade. Just flash, Oil move to next pack. Boss pops, flash , 4x explosive grenades and any boss dies
What to lower cost? The belt that nake your life flask work on ES is all you need. The rest of the gear you can craft easily with 15 div
Only thing you will not fun doing is Abyss extreme difficulty farming since you pin enemies and it's hard to move em out of the cloud when there aee like 3-4 amanamu rares.they can't kill you, you just pins em and they might die in the cloud.....
I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?
I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
