Note: At higher level of investment we do have to watch out for Ele and Phys reflect because we scale SO much damage. Watch out! Detailed Gem Overview guide coming tomorrow! :)
@@gamezerge1229 In the high end setup tempest shield can crit for over 100k. At 18% ele reflect that is a real hit, especially if the mobs are hitting hard too. Dont know about phys reflect though.
i just spent 350 ex and made a nice RF with mb but i think it does not payoff this value. If i find energy i will try to make this build. If i can sell fast i can make a nice version of this build with this currency
I cant get over the fact that you provide a full 1 h 15 mins video guide for us for FREE. Your guides are always on point give the perfect amount of information, you are just insane. I am watching your videos since ultimatum (thats when i started to play poe), and there is one thing i really miss about your old videos. The causal dad farming methods, the causal dad build etc. I know the game changed a lot since then and you gotta adapt to that. Still, thank you so much for all the content you deliver. PS: SOMEHOW i didnt sub you til now i dont know how that slipped like that. Sorry for errors, no native speaker :)
I watched the whole video twice now. Absolutely beautiful editing for the text notes and it really helps follow along what you're saying. I learned so much about CoC FR from this video. Loved it!!!!
Just want to point out (especially for new players) that at 14:10, the 90k armour + 1800 ES recovery per block is for the mageblood (MB) version. For non-MB , you will only have 50k (with flask up) and 33k armour (without flask) so expect to only recover like 660 ES per block. Also with glancing blow, part of this ES will be used to offset the 65%. If you are like me that can never afford a MB, consider getting more armour and ES into your build.
Finally! I was waiting for this video too long :) I was so hyped to try this build and now, after watching whole video, I went through all stages of grief... "50ex and more - nah, I can do it; you need to balance res, attack speed, crit, stun avoid, +proj - WTF!?; build is playable without expensive gear - ok, maybe I can go around some things; it requires some knowledge of CoC builds in general - I never played one...; very very cheap boots JUST 12-15ex - Okay, I give up, I am poor for this". Thank you for a guide! I will try it next league before wasting all my currency on alt characters.
Good day sir. Thanks alot for the great video, lots of fantastic information! I started this build about a week ago, my very first ever CoC build. So many things that have to fall in line with your attributes, resist, mana sustain, CDR, atk speed. This only makes the character more fun to build, especially when everything starts falling in place and you pump! During this week i have already had several rings/boots/gloves and cluster because i keep discovering new methods if gearing the character.
Thank you for this! I wanted to play CoC for the past two leagues but was afraid i would end up with nothing. Today i sold off my old build and put together a CoC build for the first time. And it immediately worked. Learned a couple new things and crafted pretty much everything myself. BIG TY
Thanks for the build dude! loved the breakdowns and didnt even mind going to the cast on crit video for a refresher! dumped about 80x last night and it feels great, sitting 87 all res right now 40k armor and just cruising! look forward to the next build!
Im so glad you made this, I was just trying to figure stuff out off your POB for a couple days and this video really cleared up everything I wasn't understanding!
I think I'd be able to respec my CoC Ice Nova build to the pre-mageblood build. The tree looks very close to what I have right now. I have about half the gear already and I think I may have enough currency to get the gear you showed. This is exciting. I was a bit discouraged before watching this because of how much you were talking about how much it was costing, but I think if I invest maybe another 10 ex, I'd be able to get there and move forward from there. I might make this my project until the end of league. I just started a build today to see if I could make the FR totems work, but I may go back and forth. Thank you for taking your time to break this down to every detail. Much appreciated!
Incredible, in-depth guide suitable for new and experienced players. Helped me jump into a build I'd otherwise have not played. Decent price this league too! Thanks man.
I watched the video to its entirety and GOLLY, so much useful information I actually got a slight headache afterwards. I'm 4 leagues into this game and don't feel confident enough to pull something like this off just yet. Anyhow great vid, keep it up EDIT: Played couple of days worth of selfcast forbidden rite and it was dreadful. Decided wth and went with your CoC tutorials. I'm on your day 2 level right now and it's been the smoothest CoC of my life so far.
Haven't seen the whole video yet, in a hurry :) Will come back. So I already liked it to quickly find it again. Said it before. Your build is so sweet, so expensive but looks so much fun. I have to come back here to watch this one too.
I don't say this lightly but bro I love you. I was trying to get going with the Build but Infos is all over the place. Getting a guide this long and detailed is freaking awesome. Thanks.
Awesome build guide - GZ ! One little thing about Stun Avoidance ....... if you have a Mageblood, you are only missing 3% to get to 100 ....... Anomalous Determination is rly cheap and gives you 5% Stun Avoidance ...... that way you dont need to wast a jewel implicit on it !!!
Your build diary was already cool and now there is the big boi , the build guide. I havn't seen your video yet but I know it will be really good and thanks for that ! Btw you told me you wasn't able to tank the sirus meteor , you lied to me ! x)
my first Cast on Crit build was Mathils "Fakner" build. i was really wanting to revisit it but this seems to be the new top dog. thanks for the video. you are a very handsome fellow by the way.
I swapped to this build after 2 weeks of playing EA Ballista (it helped that I was a witch), and it has been amazing. Literally the most I've played in any league, and the most currency I've ever had. Thanks a lot subtractem!
Hey man. Your PoE videos are top drawer. With a background in quality assurance and customer service, I notice little things on other channels- things that could have been polished. Things that most people probably would never notice. Like the 4 hours of Yule Log show where the sound track was about a half a second behind. Your stuff looks like it was well made. I hope you continue to do well. Remember Player One.
Thank you so much for this video ! Everything is well explained and crystal clear ! Just for information, today I looked only the unique item of the PRE MB version and we are at more than 50ex, didn't look for rare / gems / jewel / cluster i think the preMB must be around 150ex
I migrated my bane build into this CoC FR like 10'ish days ago, and boy was it worth it. Never had so much fun playing poe (nor as much challenge in tuning attack rates, crit chances, and rolling flasks etc. Still using some of my selfcrafted equiptment and proud to say i passed 12 mill dps, 70k armour and 9.97 hit rate. Thanks for all the amazingly good content.
Hey, just wanted to say great guide! I also wanted to give some advice with crafting the large cluster jewels. I had much better luck using fossils to craft the large cluster jewels. Especially the chaos large cluster. The abberant fossils are 16 for 1 chaos and a single resonator is 2c so very cheap tries. I did not get the exact same large for the spell caster, but I have an arcane surge on hit ring for now which will suffice. Once again, great guide and I look forward to testing the build out soon! P.S. I know it says to remember fossil crafting, but some people overlook instructions and go straight to the page of the thing they are trying to craft.
Really good tip! I did the same thing for all my large and med clusters and it was waaay cheaper than buying them. I even hit some good notables during the process and sold those for 1 ex. I did alt/regal to get the medium critical cluster with mage bane. It saved me 9 ex.
This build still kicking butts even after 2 years. Just transitioned from an Wintertide build to this, most gear barely changed.. just farming some more to get a better melding of the flesh and a nice large thread of hope. Didn't even touched cluster jewels and cand slice like butter in T16.
Build feels cool and quite well designed. For those who wish to actually spend a lot of money, +1 power charge synthesis rings for extra dmg are really good(about 75mil dps if optimized) and small energy shield and mana reservation clusters are also very handy(the %effect stacking versions), unless you really wanna have every jewel with mana reservation, mana reservation cluster is needed for 3.19
just so you know. the better way to craft the dagger is finish all the suffix and unveil, and then do suffix can't be changed and harvest remove non chaos add chaos. Will take off suff can't be changed and add +1 chaos skill gems. Might want to update spreadsheet.
Thanks for this. It is the first build guide Ive ever followed. Ive played for 3 leagues always making my own builds studying wiki and suffering. Atm I made a Blight cwc Soulrend occultist and I love chaos dmg. I was thinking of doing a Cyclone cwc Soulrend but I notice the rends only go in one direction and got bummed out but I saw your vid the other day and FR is indeed what cyclone needs as they home in automatically. Im a poor noob but made a couple exalts past few days by rolling large spell clusters for my build and sold some for 10-20ex (which was a shock to a poor noob). It seems that I was meant to try this out, it wont be as strong but I got my shield the jewels bought a cinderswallow unveiled mana craft and bought a skin with Imbalanced Guard that I hope will help from the armor boost. The other ones are too expensive. But I have a feeling Ill be comfortable with what I have. And I found a gemini Claw yesterday with t1 fractured attack speed. Build looks fun and relaxing. tyty
I was trying to save up 100ex and then look for a new strong build to play, got to around 70ex and gwennen was kind enough to gift me my first mageblood today. This looks like a great candidate for my next character! Been doing great on your bane build this league as well, keep it up c:
omg you monster, this is amazing haha. thank you for sharing and making it. Ive spent ALL league on my Poison Siesmic trapper, best character ive ever made. SSF. Got Uber Sirius down to Last phase before I lost my last portal. So close. Im seriously considering starting this build this weekend.
Very thorough build guide, I just dropped random mageblood yesterday and this is exactly what I'm looking because my build was so shit that mageblood or no doesn't make it good hahaha
Great video. Your Bane video brought me here... I decided to do ED contagion trickster this league and way over invested. I am switching to COC occ today.
Love the build, i have almost completed the full setup in 3.19 however i dont have enough mana for all of the auras. Is there anything you suggest to add/change? Either way its still extremely strong :)
Thanks for the guide man, love the work you put in and I watch you on twitch although I just lurk I dont have an account, this is only my 4th league so these guides help heaps
Hey ! Amazing video mate. I've been playing your SRS guardian starter and got lucky, dropped a mageblood with almost nothing aside from it (prob a couple divines worth of gear). I love CoC builds and i'm thinking about playing this for my "mageblood char" build, do you have any recommendations to play this in 3.23? And probably to get started without divines but with a mageblood :D
wow, this answered nearly all the questions i had, thanks for the effort. Just one thing i didn't get. Why Precision instead of say, Purity of Elements which would make you immune to ailments and possibly allow you to not have to use the bismuth flask? Is Precision crucial for the build? Thanks again!
adding brittle implicit to boots is amazing to get easy crit chance. made it so much easier on the low budget build. just remember to sweep thru single target. brittle doesnt always stay under boss if your just facetanking in one spot.
Hey there! Thanks a lot for the content that you're releasing mate, really appreciated. One question, can we add cruelty instead of volley? Having trouble with the colours of the Armour. Will that work?
Hi Substractem! Really nice build! I'll be playin your Bane Occ on this League Start and try to slowly progress on crafting (or buying) every single item while i level and get the currency going. Is it now a more viable option (3.19) to drop Melding and focus on more dmg at first? Due to the difficulty on getting the resistances on the gear and the added difficulty of increasing even more the maximum resistances. Keep up the good work, this is amazing!
How does this build compare to something like Righteous Fire Inquisitor? Both seem like "stand/spin next to your target as they die" type builds. Poeninja also shows Righteous Fire builds as having more damage, but videos seem to show CoC FR doing more which confuses me. Any clarification would be appreciated, thanks!
CoC builds will always deal more damage with high investment, Righteous fire has a glass ceiling and can't get past a few millions dps, while FR can do 40 millions or even more if you're crazy rich
I watched the whole video and I was hyped. I have already got a MB + 500ex in bank so I thought to myself... I can easily do this and keep a few hundred ex for maps or etc. Looked up the gears, clusters, crown of inward eye, grasping mail etc on market... and I am now sad. Aparently the prices LITERALLY skyrocketed. I don't know if it has to do anything with the release of the video or not but man Im bummed. It was going to be my first CoC build but I don't know if I can afford it with MB+500ex anymore. But thanks for a very detailed video.
Hello Subtractem, thanks again for your tremendous work on this build. I'd love to set this build as a personnal goal for 3.19. With the recent release of the patch note, do you think this build won't work anymore ? or it still a good endevour to have ? Thx for your time !
Hello sir Thank you for the build and for the great explanation. this is my first time getting so excited about a build and your explanations are really great and easy to understand even for me which i don't have great knowledge about the game. and i would appreciate it if you can comment on this video when the next league changes are revealed and tell us about the changes which affect this build and possibly the solution. because i plan to go for this build next league. thanks again.
Big fan - thx for doing this. I want to try putting this together and I have a mageblood, Aegis, Enlighten 4 and about 140ex to put into it....however, as I check prices on your items, it appears I'm STILL not able to afford it. The chest (90ex), ashes (48ex), and boots (45ex) already put it out of my league. I'm watching the video now - hopefully it will address how to make this work when u have a mageblood but not another 200ex lying around. Can you use the pre-mageblood gear with a mageblood effectively? (if this is covered in the vid i haven't gotten to it yet - apologies if so)
About the map mods: curses can be countered by flask with reduced curse effect (is goes beyond 100% with 95% flask effect). Just switch one of the flask to it and you are good.
Don't know if you will see this but... 1. Love your videos and your passion while making them :) 2. I know that CoC builds arnt rly leauge starters but what build can you recommend for me that then later on can transition to this one?
I played this last league before ashes was 40ex+ I had it min maxed to 10.1 and was farming all the bosses. Great build. I ended the league with 60ex that went to standard to rot. Much fun
Hey, pretty cool information you got there. I would like to ask you, if you could make a PoE search with the extinsion "better poe trading" ? so its simply to find each item that is necessary for the build. Want to test it soon, just need some "ex" aka divines :D
Very interesting video! Question: Should I try to avoid "curses"? There is a possibility to 100 % less curse duration. What types of curses are enemies doing? Is "corrupted blood" a curse?
I used an impossible escape eternal youth to get 2 points of warcry cd, which combined with the 52% global brings enduring cry to 4secs and use an exerted attacks cluster with onslaught on warcry and 25% increased armour per power. With Call to Arms Skin of the Lords really good setup for perma onslaught before mageblood, though you miss out on one Eye to Eye.
Really nice have as ever. worked on it the last days. Did 4th Lab with LVL 76, never done that before. My Version isnt final, have struggle, with ailments. Ever i get one my flask normaly are out, and mageblood is far away. Till iits my first Okkultist, think i league start with one. U think this built will be as strong in 3.19? BTW im on Playstation and the trade the is pain in the a.. But i love couching with Controller. Greetings from Germany and keep your positivity, its rare in this days.
This build right now without mageblood is about 250exalts. Not to mention that mageblood is worth 180e right now. I wish I had this much time to grind for this build. I leveled up your Bane Occultist to 88. Will try getting to 94 before making an attempt to change to this build. Thanks again, very detailed build! Edit: I am dying in higher level maps right now with BANE... any tips on how to get to lvl 95 fast almost without dying and losing ground. Tks mate.
I have one question: Why using shrieking bolts on the jewel? I mean, it taunt enemy, but you dont have minion or totem so its useless, no? The fact that you are the one taunting enemy does not give you 10% less dmg taken. So why not taking another talent? Thx for the answer and happy new year!
today ive made the 50-60ex version for 26ish ex after 3 hours of trading, rerolling from skele mages it just feels amazing already, im def playing it next league if it dont get nerfed.
Great build... do you have any recommendation on how to handle mana reservation now? are we subbing something with small cluster jewel or doing essence of loathing stuff?
So I thought I was cool cuz I can buy a mageblood and an Ashes....little did I know that as of 25.6 there is only 1 fractured +1 dagger listed, the body armor base is 100ex, helmet 40ex, etc. I wonder how a mix of PoB one and two would work to farm up the currency needed for the rest? Very comprehensive guide, nice as usual. Edit: Eternal Struggle 13Ex with stats listed :D Oh boy this took off.
after 1,2k death on my lightning strike raider i sold all of my gear to buy a mageblood now i play this build. Its so wierd to play this with out any gear just mb but it works :D
Loving the build Any reason you don't go for touch of cruelty on the chaos cluster? It's pobbing better for me than unwaveringly evil I noticed like no one on ladder has it either, am I missing something?
Turn on wither and then look again. Wither with all passives will be giving the enemies 90% or more increased damage taken, which means touch of cruelty will give you pretty low value proportionally.
Newbie here, I am torn between this and RF, is this much cheaper than RF? I love the idea that this build can complete all the game has to offer and the cats. Pretty nice guide, though being newbie, some of the terms are jargon.
The map mods -max res and ele weakness aren't that bad together. If you are ele weakness capped anyways, it's just as if you only have to deal with the -max res mod. Other than that, great guide and really well explained. Thanks a lot.
Loved the guide. I’m playing on Console and just put this together pre mb. Feels really nice but trade is limited. Do you happen to remember which other large chaos clusters options you can have if dark ideation is not an option? I just went thru 390 pages of large clusters and thr was only 1 that had these three and it was a 12 passive. Tyvm for the guide
just add one ask. are u have subtitle? if you have subtitles of any video, I can translate to Korean and give u for free. cause I love your contents. I was simul-interpreter in Busan Film Festival in S.Korea. if possible just let me know. thanks for your effort again. :)
There are many builds that I’ll never be able to afford to play (max TS, wardloop, whatever) and I’m mostly okay but this build is one I covet. Maybe one day a apocathery card or a mirror will drop for me then I can play it! I seem to get stuck around 10-15X which is not enough to start this build…
@@fisherman08123 yes, thanks for the tip. I saw DS lily and today Kobe’s videos. I’m really wondering though how the price of these invitations are holding up. Ashes are like a 2% drop (guessing?). Maybe the infrequent ashes and Omni drops are enough to sustain a profit for people buying these invitations
I'm kinda filthy casual when it comes to currency making but I was also stuck around the 10ex mark and just said duck it if others can do it so I bought as many black scythe lb, ran them haggled with tujen, bought about 50 more haggled with tujen and even without the mirror shard drop i still made about 45-50 ex in that day. Not the most optimal ex per h but as someone who sucks at currency making strats I was happily surprised how it ended up.
very sick build what would u think is the best thing to farm as coc forbidden rite i find that expedition kinda sucks since alot of stuff mess with the build
What messes with it? I'm playing this currently and running expedition, only the "monsters cannot be critically hit" & "immune to chaos" is skip remnants, but they are pretty damn rare in my experience after about 2k maps

Thanks for this. It is the first build guide Ive ever followed. Ive played for 3 leagues always making my own builds studying wiki and suffering. Atm I made a Blight cwc Soulrend occultist and I love chaos dmg. I was thinking of doing a Cyclone cwc Soulrend but I notice the rends only go in one direction and got bummed out but I saw your vid the other day and FR is indeed what cyclone needs as they home in automatically. Im a poor noob but made a couple exalts past few days by rolling large spell clusters for my build and sold some for 10-20ex (which was a shock to a poor noob). It seems that I was meant to try this out, it wont be as strong but I got my shield the jewels bought a cinderswallow unveiled mana craft and bought a skin with Imbalanced Guard that I hope will help from the armor boost. The other ones are too expensive. But I have a feeling Ill be comfortable with what I have. And I found a gemini Claw yesterday with t1 fractured attack speed.
Build looks fun and relaxing. tyty
I was trying to save up 100ex and then look for a new strong build to play, got to around 70ex and gwennen was kind enough to gift me my first mageblood today. This looks like a great candidate for my next character! Been doing great on your bane build this league as well, keep it up c:
Common now, league starter variant....I have faith in you! Community needs you!
Good job man! I’m super thankful 🎉
Ty for the video! I'm using your tree to help me theory craft a 3.19 trickster fr build
omg you monster, this is amazing haha. thank you for sharing and making it. Ive spent ALL league on my Poison Siesmic trapper, best character ive ever made. SSF. Got Uber Sirius down to Last phase before I lost my last portal. So close. Im seriously considering starting this build this weekend.
Seriously awesome guide man. Lots of great info
FINALLY! someone who actually SAYS its NOT cheap, its NOT easy to put together, and its gonna cost more after this guide.
man, coc always seems like the coolest/funnest. ive only ever played it once. never can afford the builds anymore though lol.
Very thorough build guide, I just dropped random mageblood yesterday and this is exactly what I'm looking because my build was so shit that mageblood or no doesn't make it good hahaha
Great video. Your Bane video brought me here... I decided to do ED contagion trickster this league and way over invested. I am switching to COC occ today.
Love the build, i have almost completed the full setup in 3.19 however i dont have enough mana for all of the auras. Is there anything you suggest to add/change? Either way its still extremely strong :)
Thanks for the guide man, love the work you put in and I watch you on twitch although I just lurk I dont have an account, this is only my 4th league so these guides help heaps
Hey ! Amazing video mate.
I've been playing your SRS guardian starter and got lucky, dropped a mageblood with almost nothing aside from it (prob a couple divines worth of gear). I love CoC builds and i'm thinking about playing this for my "mageblood char" build, do you have any recommendations to play this in 3.23? And probably to get started without divines but with a mageblood :D
Was waiting for this even though my own character is preeeeety much min maxed and lvl 96. Gonna watch it anyway 😁
Watching your videos to pass the time till 3.20 :D
ty for doing this for humanity.
Man thanks for your tier 1 Guide, beware you will become the new Esoro :) Thanks!
esoro builds are bait, just like this one
@@Papi-qd4tc Not when you can do all content with it :)
Calling this build bait is a good joke. Thanks for the laugh.
very good guide, Thank you for your work!
Finally a build which looks good enough to pull me away from my RF character.
wow, this answered nearly all the questions i had, thanks for the effort. Just one thing i didn't get. Why Precision instead of say, Purity of Elements which would make you immune to ailments and possibly allow you to not have to use the bismuth flask? Is Precision crucial for the build? Thanks again!
adding brittle implicit to boots is amazing to get easy crit chance. made it so much easier on the low budget build. just remember to sweep thru single target. brittle doesnt always stay under boss if your just facetanking in one spot.
You cannot use eldritch currency on influenced items, so by using brittle boots you are losing CDR affix.
@@Zaalbarjedi I have my cdr on influenced belt
A really great video. Thank you.👍
Hey there! Thanks a lot for the content that you're releasing mate, really appreciated. One question, can we add cruelty instead of volley? Having trouble with the colours of the Armour. Will that work?
If you replace volley you'll want to use a Dying Sun at least. I'd double check Empower vs Damage at Full Life support.
Hi Substractem! Really nice build! I'll be playin your Bane Occ on this League Start and try to slowly progress on crafting (or buying) every single item while i level and get the currency going. Is it now a more viable option (3.19) to drop Melding and focus on more dmg at first? Due to the difficulty on getting the resistances on the gear and the added difficulty of increasing even more the maximum resistances. Keep up the good work, this is amazing!
Can definitely build more offense if you want. In SC trade defense is always optional.
How does this build compare to something like Righteous Fire Inquisitor?
Both seem like "stand/spin next to your target as they die" type builds.
Poeninja also shows Righteous Fire builds as having more damage, but videos seem to show CoC FR doing more which confuses me.
Any clarification would be appreciated, thanks!
CoC builds will always deal more damage with high investment, Righteous fire has a glass ceiling and can't get past a few millions dps, while FR can do 40 millions or even more if you're crazy rich
I watched the whole video and I was hyped. I have already got a MB + 500ex in bank so I thought to myself... I can easily do this and keep a few hundred ex for maps or etc. Looked up the gears, clusters, crown of inward eye, grasping mail etc on market... and I am now sad. Aparently the prices LITERALLY skyrocketed. I don't know if it has to do anything with the release of the video or not but man Im bummed. It was going to be my first CoC build but I don't know if I can afford it with MB+500ex anymore.
But thanks for a very detailed video.
Hello Subtractem, thanks again for your tremendous work on this build. I'd love to set this build as a personnal goal for 3.19. With the recent release of the patch note, do you think this build won't work anymore ? or it still a good endevour to have ? Thx for your time !
Still works great in 3.19
Hello sir
Thank you for the build and for the great explanation. this is my first time getting so excited about a build and your explanations are really great and easy to understand even for me which i don't have great knowledge about the game.
and i would appreciate it if you can comment on this video when the next league changes are revealed and tell us about the changes which affect this build and possibly the solution. because i plan to go for this build next league.
thanks again.
Build is fun in 3.20! Thanks!
Big fan - thx for doing this. I want to try putting this together and I have a mageblood, Aegis, Enlighten 4 and about 140ex to put into it....however, as I check prices on your items, it appears I'm STILL not able to afford it. The chest (90ex), ashes (48ex), and boots (45ex) already put it out of my league. I'm watching the video now - hopefully it will address how to make this work when u have a mageblood but not another 200ex lying around. Can you use the pre-mageblood gear with a mageblood effectively? (if this is covered in the vid i haven't gotten to it yet - apologies if so)
About the map mods: curses can be countered by flask with reduced curse effect (is goes beyond 100% with 95% flask effect). Just switch one of the flask to it and you are good.
Don't know if you will see this but... 1. Love your videos and your passion while making them :) 2. I know that CoC builds arnt rly leauge starters but what build can you recommend for me that then later on can transition to this one?
I played this last league before ashes was 40ex+ I had it min maxed to 10.1 and was farming all the bosses. Great build. I ended the league with 60ex that went to standard to rot. Much fun
So nice build i already playeed as selfcast 2 leagues ago. Wichj Build is a good one to farm before swap to coc? Maybe skell mages?
Amazing work , thank you
Hey, pretty cool information you got there. I would like to ask you, if you could make a PoE search with the extinsion "better poe trading" ? so its simply to find each item that is necessary for the build. Want to test it soon, just need some "ex" aka divines :D
Awesome guide man👍
Very interesting video! Question: Should I try to avoid "curses"? There is a possibility to 100 % less curse duration. What types of curses are enemies doing? Is "corrupted blood" a curse?
I used an impossible escape eternal youth to get 2 points of warcry cd, which combined with the 52% global brings enduring cry to 4secs and use an exerted attacks cluster with onslaught on warcry and 25% increased armour per power. With Call to Arms Skin of the Lords
really good setup for perma onslaught before mageblood, though you miss out on one Eye to Eye.
Really nice have as ever. worked on it the last days. Did 4th Lab with LVL 76, never done that before. My Version isnt final, have struggle, with ailments. Ever i get one my flask normaly are out, and mageblood is far away. Till iits my first Okkultist, think i league start with one. U think this built will be as strong in 3.19? BTW im on Playstation and the trade the is pain in the a.. But i love couching with Controller.
Greetings from Germany and keep your positivity, its rare in this days.
22:52 You can also use anomalous determination for an extra 10% instead of the implicit on a jewel
This build right now without mageblood is about 250exalts. Not to mention that mageblood is worth 180e right now. I wish I had this much time to grind for this build. I leveled up your Bane Occultist to 88. Will try getting to 94 before making an attempt to change to this build. Thanks again, very detailed build!
Edit: I am dying in higher level maps right now with BANE... any tips on how to get to lvl 95 fast almost without dying and losing ground. Tks mate.
Same problem here.. Did you found a solution?
great guide, looking forward to rerpll into this. only 1 small question how do you get onslaught i dont seem to find it any where
Boots before mageblood, synth ring after
I have one question:
Why using shrieking bolts on the jewel? I mean, it taunt enemy, but you dont have minion or totem so its useless, no? The fact that you are the one taunting enemy does not give you 10% less dmg taken. So why not taking another talent? Thx for the answer and happy new year!
I'm in love with this build, is there any chance it will still work on 3.19 withouth the reservation masteries?
Yeah really just drop defiance banner and basically no other changes needed.
today ive made the 50-60ex version for 26ish ex after 3 hours of trading, rerolling from skele mages it just feels amazing already, im def playing it next league if it dont get nerfed.
Just found this build in 3.22 has anything changed since? Has it been nerfed like you assumed it would be? I love Occultists and this looks amazing!
Great build... do you have any recommendation on how to handle mana reservation now? are we subbing something with small cluster jewel or doing essence of loathing stuff?
Essence of Loathing and/or Redeemer Helmet will get you there. If you're willing to change up the defenses a Shaper shield can go a LONG way also.
It's great video.
Hey if we add zealtory, which stack would be good?
On helmet?
Anywhere you can fit with enlighten :)
So I thought I was cool cuz I can buy a mageblood and an Ashes....little did I know that as of 25.6 there is only 1 fractured +1 dagger listed, the body armor base is 100ex, helmet 40ex, etc. I wonder how a mix of PoB one and two would work to farm up the currency needed for the rest? Very comprehensive guide, nice as usual. Edit: Eternal Struggle 13Ex with stats listed :D Oh boy this took off.
after 1,2k death on my lightning strike raider i sold all of my gear to buy a mageblood
now i play this build. Its so wierd to play this with out any gear just mb but it works :D
Loving the build
Any reason you don't go for touch of cruelty on the chaos cluster? It's pobbing better for me than unwaveringly evil
I noticed like no one on ladder has it either, am I missing something?
Turn on wither and then look again. Wither with all passives will be giving the enemies 90% or more increased damage taken, which means touch of cruelty will give you pretty low value proportionally.
Newbie here, I am torn between this and RF, is this much cheaper than RF?
I love the idea that this build can complete all the game has to offer and the cats.
Pretty nice guide, though being newbie, some of the terms are jargon.
I'm tucked in and ready for coc.
The map mods -max res and ele weakness aren't that bad together. If you are ele weakness capped anyways, it's just as if you only have to deal with the -max res mod. Other than that, great guide and really well explained. Thanks a lot.
Loved the guide. I’m playing on Console and just put this together pre mb. Feels really nice but trade is limited.
Do you happen to remember which other large chaos clusters options you can have if dark ideation is not an option? I just went thru 390 pages of large clusters and thr was only 1 that had these three and it was a 12 passive. Tyvm for the guide
What level did you start making this build?
@@MrRemi1992 think I used Ed/cont till I was around lvl 84 then switched
If you can't get the Discipline implicit for your body armour then go for Fortify. Fortify could actually be better in some cases.
just add one ask. are u have subtitle?
if you have subtitles of any video, I can translate to Korean and give u for free. cause I love your contents.
I was simul-interpreter in Busan Film Festival in S.Korea.
if possible just let me know. thanks for your effort again. :)
love it!
There are many builds that I’ll never be able to afford to play (max TS, wardloop, whatever) and I’m mostly okay but this build is one I covet. Maybe one day a apocathery card or a mirror will drop for me then I can play it! I seem to get stuck around 10-15X which is not enough to start this build…
@@fisherman08123 yes, thanks for the tip. I saw DS lily and today Kobe’s videos. I’m really wondering though how the price of these invitations are holding up. Ashes are like a 2% drop (guessing?). Maybe the infrequent ashes and Omni drops are enough to sustain a profit for people buying these invitations
I'm kinda filthy casual when it comes to currency making but I was also stuck around the 10ex mark and just said duck it if others can do it so I bought as many black scythe lb, ran them haggled with tujen, bought about 50 more haggled with tujen and even without the mirror shard drop i still made about 45-50 ex in that day. Not the most optimal ex per h but as someone who sucks at currency making strats I was happily surprised how it ended up.
@@fisherman08123 Haha this response makes perfect sense XD
will you do a 3.19 coc build too? this looks fun but will it survive ?
very sick build what would u think is the best thing to farm as coc forbidden rite i find that expedition kinda sucks since alot of stuff mess with the build
What messes with it? I'm playing this currently and running expedition, only the "monsters cannot be critically hit" & "immune to chaos" is skip remnants, but they are pretty damn rare in my experience after about 2k maps
