Can anyone speak to the strength of this Atziri's contempt build?

So I came across some videos of a few builds using Atziri's contempt and it looked kinda fun but I also came across a comment saying it would be OP to use Palm of the Dreamer to blow up screens and that sounded pretty fun, the problem is I can't find any videos that are using that combination. I did however find a few builds on poeninja to take inspiration from, I'm just not too familiar with all of the mechanics or how strong it would actually be, so I'm wondering if any of you are playing this build or something similar and if around 1k divines would be enough to put it together to handle most/all content? Here's an example of one I found on poeninja;

I've played it, it's ok. I actually made a zero duration titan that used it before trying out poison spear shenanigans.

My biggest gripe is that it's 2 buttons when you can generally just kill in one. It's plenty strong though, and dreamers is fun.

I've been using it. Started using spearfield to proc bleed with sacred flame offhand to give more fire dmg. Eventually swapped to palm of the dreamer and i can say that the clear is very satisfying. Recently i changed my clear skill to Lightning Spear with Bleed III support and it's been a breeze. Haven't tested against uber bosses yet, but i like it a lot, regular t16 bosses melt in 2 seconds

I made an atziri’s build this league w/ pathfinder and adorned stacking crit. I crit t3 xesht for 14million with it. Weapon is good.

I love the atziri blood mage and have just converted back off it to bloodmage CoC, due to survivability with it. It's great fun to play, I just feel really squishy with it, even with the leech. I've stashed all the kit incase there's a way to make it more tanky and I can wheel it out again. It's not so much the damage being an issue for me, it's defences, so I'm not sure what extra the palm of the dreamer would add, maybe gimp the damage over sacred flame?

You can use Mathil's build, then replace the Sunplitter to Palm of Dreamer. The link is here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0gDGohanzLs&t=213s&pp=ygUGbWF0aGls

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!
