TLDR: I've got a naked level 92 Stormweaver, and I wanna do something fun and new with it. Currency is not an issue, and my only requirement is that it does a lot of single-target damage.
In fact, come think of it, if you guys don't have a Stormweaver build, make it any Sorc ascendancy.
Thanks!
There is a cool Ball Lightning CoC (…) build running around with Living Bomb. I never played myself but I like the idea of shockwavy-aspect of a damaging ball lightning as main damage source (https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/CliffXL-2955/BalanceofChaos?i=4&search=skills%3DBall%2BLightning%26sort%3Ddps)
I'd love to see how different builds make use of the Multiplying Squalls (+2 to limit) ascendancy node. I don't have a build but I think having tons of storms and orbs or going all in on, say, Solar Orb, would be super cool.
Reverse chill ice shot has been a blast. High movement speed from sierran inheritance, good clear and single target, and tankier than you would think due to Asphyxia's kind of hidden mechanic. https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/ghostparticlez-3465/character/ZoomerBZoomin
I have a double curse build that’s pretty fun. Tons of spell variety. No Cast On stuff. Just my own thing. https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/s/j07Bu85e1W
Incinerate chronomancer maybe?
The most fun build I've ever played is just about anything that uses reverse chill. There's nothing better than being fast ASF for me. I did whirling assault, but it works with anything. I think using bows is the tankiest though because of the asphyxia's wrath quiver
Full mana Eldritch Battery non MoM but still having 100% dmg taken from Mana before life. It's a difficult endeavor these days but absolutely possible with help of darkness enthroned body armour >110%, mental perseverance + cloak of defiance (61% taken before at max corruption). Mental perseverance can be added via megalomaniac, for maximum effiency. Couldn't find a good way to get CI working with this sadly tho. That's my notes on the matter, I am currently figuring out the fine art of minion oracle and all it's intricacies. Cheers
hey have you heard of CoC Comet?
not sure about off-meta, but stormweaver with quarterstuff, utilising WA for charge generation or bossing, then zooming around with flicker + CoC profane ritual is the most fun i've ever got with self chill
you just go in infinite chain of spinning and zooming, for me feels like second fastest build in the game after temporalis, can't be sure about it though, BUT speed of clear can be ruined by flicker randomness
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!
