Hey I just finished my temple layout and since we are printing i figured I'd try a more obscure and fun build. Something strong enough to do all content but different from all the meta chasers. Does anyone have a nice idea? I currently play coc sparkweaver and I think I'm ready to move on.
I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

What style of play are you in the mood for? Zero duration titan might fit the bill. Lots of options for scattering calamity, earthquake, ember fusillade, primal strikes, etc.
I'm having fun with the plant druid Entangle Vines Thunderstorm Blasphemy/ vulnerability Tornado with flame boots
I just hit endgame and had a blast all the way through
I don’t know what your finances look like but most fun I’ve had was buying a Temporalis for the first time ever and just experimenting a lot with that armour. Being able to blink around is tons of fun and the choir amulet goes nuts with it. But again, it’s really expensive, like four mirrors. I’ve also experimented with different skills than comet in coc. Detonate dead in coc while doing breach is a blast lol. Have fun!
Plasmablast galvanic bleed bm Very fun
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!

If you’re running a CI build or a no-ES build (armor or EB/MoM), this perfect essence modifier may do more for your build than the hybrid modifier on your chest. 15% physical taken as chaos is an enormous reduction to physical damage when you have good chaos mitigation. For me, I am a Chayula with 90% chaos resist thanks to ATD.
Whirling Assaults recoil is dog shit and typically players dodge roll out of it to not be vulnerable. Both Frozen Locus and Wave of Frost can be used at any point as a “dodge” out of whirl, so once you’re wrapping up the spin you can cancel out of the Whirling Assault animation and stack some damage/utility on top of it. Frozen Locus is good for AoE chill but has a difficult time freezing monsters in temple. It also can be socketed to impale cold damage as of physical, allowing you to stack some extra damage on your next attack. It has a huge attack damage multiplier and can really help clean up harder to kill enemies. The angle of Wave of Frost is narrow but it does freeze much more reliably, turning on Bhatair’s easily. With a t2 attack speed mod on weapon and rapid strikes 2 the animation is fairly fluid and fast. It takes some calibrating and getting used to, but once you’ve got it down, it will feel smooth as butter. Bonus points because it combos well into staggering palm off the rip, you look straight up like Jackie Chan using these three in tandem. Staggering Palm is insane. You may have seen my posts about Ancestral Cry as an ability, adding a \~500% attack damage slam to your steps (which activates many times while whirling). Getting ignite on an enemy amplifies Staggering Palm significantly. Staggering Palm will give you a buff that fires projectiles when you stun a target. At lvl 30 this is about \~400% attack damage. Socketing it with Fan the Flames II will add another \~300% attack damage hit that all of your projectiles will proc when they hit a burning enemy. As you can see, there are some niche interactions that turn a basic whirling assault into a damage shitfest that rivals comet. It is not unusual for me to run into a temple room and it be cleaned out in 5 seconds, especially if I’ve been doing good keeping my buffs up. Forgive me for coming to my Ted Talk.
Hello all! Im working on one of those reverse chill builds on a storm weaver (similar to ds lily's) I think I understand the build but having a hard time figuring out why im still being chilled sometimes? Sometimes the reverse chill effect works then sometimes it just stops and I'm chilled causing my death lol.

I didn't expect this league to be faster than last league in terms of clear speed. I got to sort of work with a GGG dev after he watched last league's speedrun which resulted in every single skip getting patched. So we can say for certain that all the remaining skips and tricks are all intended mechanics of Sekhemas. I also cleared Last Flame with this build. The extremely fast sparks were great at just cleaning up entire rooms before anything had a chance to attack you (mostly). Inb4 "but temporalis" - I clear Sekhemas in around 7:30 without tempo, and I did it 4 times in a row on a non-blink character (crossbow infernalist) as well as my Blood Mage wearing Silks of Sand (fake tempo). So while Tempo does significantly improve times, there's nothing stopping the average person from getting sub 8 minute runs without much investment besides some practice. I keep seeing posts saying 15 minutes is fast. Full video guide + build link + POB here (sorry hitting text limit): [https://youtu.be/xYvpup1a5Bo](https://youtu.be/xYvpup1a5Bo)
