Warbringer | Warchoir of the Storm

Getting straight to the point, this is a Warcry build. Not just any warcry build, but one that crits and triggers lightning bolts, static shocks, and electromagnetism. I don't believe static shocks and electromagnetism are visually appearing and it could be a visual bug. Regardless, it appears to be helping with my DPS. I could be wrong. Helps with the theme of the build lol

It's still very much a work in progress and I hope to clear some more end game content soon, especially arbiter at some point. If there's anything I could improve on, let me know. I've been a sucker for warcrying ever since Warbringer was first introduced and I could never figure out how to do a straight hit based version beyond just doing a typical corrupting blood build.

That is until I saw Kris Droverson's infinite warcries build, which I will link here: https://youtu.be/kFO8ad8FsS8?si=awnjJpLM1OgGeudC

It didn't dawn on me to use a staff with extra gain as elemental. Until 0.4, it wasn't possible to get Seismic Cry gems levels to go beyond 25. I'm now sitting at lvl 29. Theoretically it's possible to get it to lvl 32, but I am not the wolf of wall street with PoE2 currency.

Hm nice. What is the reason behind using Ferocious Cry without another socket War Cry?

As far as I know, when using Ferocious Cry together with a socket War Cry, you are using 2 War Cries simultaneously and thus some effects also apply twice, for example, Corrupted Blood from the Corrupting Cry support gem.

I didn't test it, but I guess this also applies to passive nodes, like your regen or critical weakness?

Edit: Ah, you wouldn't be using your staff then but the talisman when shouting as bear :/

I made an edit to the OP. Some people came to me about the sound. That's a my bad. I was tired the other night and didn't sound mix before I finalized the video.

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

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?

Rakiata who?

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!
