Reverse Chill Leap Slam Kitava Demo - Fun but Squishy AF

Basically the title. I just got the concept up and running but haven’t done tuned it much.

It uses the same reverse chill tech that others have used this league, and it is the only way to speed up the +1 to attack time on the skill.

Ball lightning and lightning warp are slotted in thundergods wrath. Living bomb is slotted into fire spell on melee hit.

I’ve been cleaning 4mod t15s with 3 tablets. But defenses are really holding it back. I’ve get my ele res at 85% and 100% of damage is taken from mana before life with mana remnants for overflow. Anyone have any ideas on improving defences from here?

I have noticed that in POB you are using the shackles with “cannot be chilled” on them, so am I correct in thinking that you have some way of bypassing that or are you just not getting the speed bonus since you wouldn’t be benefiting from the shackles and sierran at all ?

Really not as fast as I expected for reverse chill. Cool build though.

No Poe.ninja so forgive my questions

Since you're using lightning, I imagine you're also shocking and if so you must be using the can't be shocked belt. This would bring your required uniques to 3: gloves, belt, chest

As smith of kitva and fire spell on hit, I imagine you also specced into the ignite reductions on yourself?

A lot of requirements to make the build function and not so much wiggle room. I'm heading in the same boat with a cocaine bear.

You can do some heavy lifting with helmet and boots for armor/es or maybe iron slippers and straight ES boots?

What's your EHP? What's your armor? 85 ele resist is huge. Is it just chaos and phys that's taking you down?

Barkskin is a nice boost IF you have enough base armor from items. That just comes online for 30 spirit.

If you have armor break tech, scavenged plating is also a good boost. I imagine you have armor break from HoI being pretty ubiquitous when doing attack reverse chill.

There is tech in the titan area for endurance charges and consuming endurance charges to heal if you can work that in, it's good sustain.

If you don't need rune slots on your talisman for flat damage, 30 spirit can be picked up at the cost of two rune slots.

Making Leap Slam great again! This is how it should play naturally if the player just invested into attack speed. No reason for the +1 second to attack time at endgame levels. They should do something like what they did with Limit restrictions on skills, increase the limit at increasing gem levels. So +1 second to attack time at level one but reduces to maybe .8 seconds by level 20.

Do you have a PoB for this?

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?

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!
