analyse build

As a rather new player to the genre and someone who prefers learning by doing, I would appreciate some inputs. Mainly about damage.

My starting point was the quarterstaff and a stormweaver character laying around.

Defense
As I never used it before, I gave CI and cloak of flame a chance. Quickly I realised where the issues were with the lack of regaining ES.
Also for some reason I thought poison would do phy dmg, thats why I specced into immunity for no reason. Anyway, I basically had to flee from the map due to the lack of defense.
But thats not the main topic.

Damage
The overall plan was "freeze and big bonk on frozen enemies".
But I was honestly surpised how bad I did damage wise.
My hidout DPS is over 100k, what I think is not great, but not too shabby.

I am aware there is no Herald for better clear. Or no charged Staff. I kind of assumed I would be somewhat fine.
But man, was I surprised how bad I did on even white mobs. Barely any one-shots and no reliable freeze.

Any hints on what I should pay more attention to when creating a build?
Thank you in advance.

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • CI - Chaos Inoculation keystone passive skill (Wiki)
  • ES - Energy Shield (Wiki)
  • DPS - Damage per Second

You are missing a quest reward. You are not using any weapon swap tree points: this is like giving up 24 free passive points that could be used for things like curses, marks, mobility, QoL, single target... You picked an ascendancy that doesn't seem to provide much to the skills you've chosen and you're also missing your final ascendancy point.

I’m only on my phone so it’s hard to look through the whole build. But a physical oriented staff should do more, since ice strike converts physical damage to ice and then your tree further scales that ice damage after the conversion

damage wise, first of all, you need better gear. you lack flat rampage sources. second of all, the passive tree massively lacks attack speed/damage increase nodes. thirdly, you don’t need eternal rage. you can either slot in the rage support gem or have rage on hit augment in gloves. also slot in shattering palm with bhatairs vengeance support gem which will give you ~50% as extra cold.

defense wise, with the freed up spirit you will be able to run wind dancer/convalescence which will improve your defenses by a lot. drop that body armour for atziris body armour with any es/evasion rolls OR a mixed evasion/es piece. drop the immune to poison cluster on the tree as CI already makes you immune to poison. equip the vertex with at least +3 to all skills which should be not that expensive. spec into mixed es/eva clusters.

The Randomancer has a New Challenge Mode!

Hey there game-enjoyers! I've been developing a POE2 build randomizer app in my free time for the last 5 months or so, and periodically posting dev updates here (for lack of a better term). [https://therandomancer.com/](https://therandomancer.com/) I thought I had pretty much run this thing into the ground at this point, but was enjoying the process so much I figured I'd chuck a few more features into it just for the heck of it. Hence, I present, the Randomancer Challenge Mode: https://preview.redd.it/bj4miajt7zlg1.png?width=1820&format=png&auto=webp&s=85c32031678d6e311912d961016631f7e68c1afc Very similar idea, but instead of generating a set of build recommendations, it generates a challenge with a series of elements. I figured since a lot of people seemed to be using this thing to set strict challenges for themselves, why not lean into it? Just a warning, some of these are pretty gnarly, maybe completely unreasonable. But the goal was to not set any actually impossible tasks. Again, this is all just for fun, and another way to spark some creativity and renewed interest when the league starts to drag. Hope y'all enjoy the new stuff and playing around with the app. As always I love getting feedback, bugs, suggestions, and new ideas. Don't hesitate to reach out, you can find my email, X, Google Forms Feedback form, and GitHub links in the app. Are these new challenges too hard? Not hard enough? Too weird or too boring? Don't pair well? You have ideas for lots of other challenge tasks? Etc... let me know! If you've been tagging along for a bit, below are some of the updates I've made since my last post: * Completely new Challenge Mode (obviously) * New Weapon Set controls for Build mode. * New Combat Mechanics counter control for Build mode. * Added section for particularly pertinent synergy supports, if any exist. * [Poe.ninja](http://Poe.ninja) link. This take your rolled ascendancy, weapon(s), and two recommended skills and links to a filtered [poe.ninja](http://poe.ninja) page to see if anyone else has pulled it off this league! (Defaults to trade softcore). For REAL weird rolls expect it to be empty, though sometimes people can surprise you. * Big data refactor to provide better recommendations. * Skill and uniques matching logic has been overhauled. * Bucket of bugs resolved + handful of styling clutter cleaned out. * Probably other stuff I'm forgetting.

What Builds Do You Use for Sekhema 4th Ascendancy Bus?

Hello, I’m Korean and since my English isn’t very good, I’m writing this with the help of a translation AI. While playing Path of Exile 2 from Season 1 to 4, I’ve been running the Sekhema 4th Ascendancy bus with an Infernal Summoner build. I think the most important points are: 1. You should start running 4th Ascendancy from day 2–3. 2. The build should be made with cost‑effective gear. 3. Each run usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour. I’ve tried leveling several different characters with this in mind, but it’s not easy. So I’d like to ask: what characters and builds are you using for the Sekhema 4th Ascendancy bus? Also, I kind of want to push through the Acts again for fun.
