@Ivo Brito tbh that is not so irregular for him but he has never missed a league since like 3.11 or some shit so its pretty sad to see he hasn't come out with a league starter video. To be fair though this league turned everything on its head and makes someone like esoros builds impossible to work out due to the depth he always goes in on his PoB and videos when everything is really up in the air with what will be good or not. Maybe he just feels uncomfortable recommending something he doesn't know will be good
@@harulands flask and mana changes and the fact that they buffed enemy health to increase difficulty even though they were shitting on game that used that kind of thinking during the live. Dumbass company and devs
This is probably the best poe guide i have ever seen! Really in-depth, thanks a lot man! Im already playing the build for a couple weeks but i had a few questions and you answered them all. Cheers!
In this dark time of POE i just want to thank you for all the work you've done till this "game balancing" patch came live. All your build guide vids were really awesome. If there will be any chances, I hope some day we'll see again your great content.
Yeah unfortunately I started development on the guide before the archetype started gaining attention, late in ritual league. I was caught half way through production and decided to stick it out. I've done everything I can to make my iteration on this build full fledged, well produced and distinct. Hopefully you'll enjoy my take on it!
Won‘t Play the build because of currency issues, but man still watched the whole Video. Just another banger, really excited for your next one. Keep up the great work!
Man esoro is one of theeee best channels for builds and I always recommend all my friends to check his stuff all the time! whenever I see a new video I know I am going to start leveling something new :D would love to see even more game explanation and like guides for endgame or other event/stuff because esoro explanation is perfect :D
Thanks Esoro was wondering why we hadn't seen any videos from you this league :D. You're always the best quality for builds. This helped me roll my Cluster Jewels
@@yourlocalnpc Well the Malachai's Artifice will pretty much fix 1 element completely for you, but that, of course, has it drawbacks as you will have to harvest craft to change resistances to others to stay resistance capped.
2 days in on this build. Started with about a 200-300c investment. This can be done on a "budget", but I cannot even imagine doing this as a league start. That being said, very powerful, and with the right setup 200c has got me pretty comfortable in yellow maps. I imagine red maps are going to be difficult, but doable. I don't know that I'll be able to do T15-T16 without spending at least 6EX or so to get the right bow. Currently just using tabula and a 4 link Xoph's. I'm only level 72 though so things might be drastically different once I'm level 85+ or even 90. Solid build. If you have the currency to really upgrade it, this shit is INSANE. I also only have normal/cruel lab done. With merciless and uber lab done I imagine I'll be much more comfortable.
Heya, thanks for this comment, I was very curious how this would do and you've brilliantly summed it up for me. I think I'll make a second char with this build. Cheers.
@@yourlocalnpc it's a lot of fun. can't wait to get some upgrades. The gems took me about an hour to get setup properly. HMU In game if you struggle with getting your setups. It came down to putting 1 aura in my 5 socket-4 link bow, and another aura in a 4 socket-3link helmet, to make sure I could run them both without them getting increased reservation due to support gem links. @Cikk_arrows_bro
Great build. I changed it up abit and went slightly right for less damage and picked up wind dancer (another fire dot node nearby as well) and phase acro.
Hello I watched your video toxic rain build it was great but at the end of video u said u would show us a different path on tree if we didn't have the jewels to socket u show a glimpse of a tree on video u explain great keep it up I subscribe
i'm out here trying to get esoro's mjölner inquisitor up and running, and he comes out with a new one. I'm already enjoying the league a little more now.
I league-started with this build (I leveled using Flame Wall + Kinetic Blast, which was amazing until red maps), and the suggestions made in the video differed slightly what I've done so far, so I tried some of them around. Replica Emberwake is not that great, since the ignite duration is so short, and with GMP, there's 1-2 ignites active at a time and they quickly expire when dodging attacks. I've tried switching GMP for Barrage support, and I killed Sirus A8 in record time. That being said, the Emberwake might not be worth investing in early on. To link Wave of Conviction with Despair and combustion is, according to PoB, superior to my previous setup of Arcanist Brand + Wave of Conviction + Flammability. I was surprised to see Despair being better than Flammability, but perhaps all of the various fire resistance reductions have met a cap? Either way, the advantage of having Arcanist Brand is that the debuff is being applied actively while dealing damage, that is not the case with self-casting wave of conviction. I have not given up on it completely, as I am still trying it out, but I may end up going back to brands. Getting rid of Clarity and a Rumi's Concoction only to get a curse immunity mana flask? Eh, I tried it, but I rather have that extra armour and be mindful of curses. Ball Lightning... This one had me so confused for way too long, as I must've been obsessed with the gem tag "Lightning", because I started to think I should have Elemental Equilibrium to even get any uses out of it... Lo and behold, I started rationalizing about the GMP support and realized Ball Lightning is to fire away as many projectiles as possible, because they will hit enemies, igniting them (because of the ascendancy) and recover 40-60 life per enemy ignited... WOW! But it has it downsides, as it requires sockets on an already socket starved build... Honestly don't know what this rant was all about, but maybe this gives some insight to people considering or is already trying out the build. :D
@@brandonzack2260 i was lucky in this league, created a 2nd character using burning arrow. I was able to find 2 inpulsa chest and 6 linked it both sold like 8ex each at the start of the league
I love how in your build factor assessments at the bottom of the screen, the figure in the bottom right blocks part of the letter R, meaning that the build's Hardcore rating looks like 'Poop' instead of Poor, and Solo Self Found's rating looks like 'Poo'. I reckon those are more colourful and accurate descriptors, heh.
I plotted out a Chieftain with this skill setup but ended up building differently in 3.13 and getting my ignites and burning DOT from spells instead. Loved the potential in POB though, DPS was nuts on paper, and I see Elementalist works super well! Very cool build man! Doing burning DOT again this league but Searing Bond, Scorching Ray totems for DPS and Flame Dash totems for combustion and being hilarious to me (ok, they are also mechanically useful against bosses since they keep the bond on the enemy and also ensure that enemies are always Near my totems for the DPS boost and incoming damage reduction that gives me as Chieftain). I love the burn!
New build guide!.... and it’s a build everyone already knows and plays:/ still a great guide. I’ve already gotten rid of my burning arrow build for the league but this will be a great guide for newer players than haven’t played it!
Quick note to those interested in the build: The fire damage over time medium cluster jewels are absurdly expensive, even for a base to craft off of (~1.5 ex). The ones used in the PoB were ~6 exalts when I checked. Consider getting ones with Wasting Affliction and: 1.) Brewed for Potency (DoT, flask uptime and efficacy) 2.) Vile Reinvigoration (Damage, energy shield) 3.) Circling oblivion (DoT, extends length of ignites) 4.) Chilling Presence (for slowing effect) 5.) Student of Decay (DoT, chaos resistance) There are other notables, but these are arguably the best alternatives. Prices start around 20 chaos for a 4 passive cluster jewel.
Hey Esoro, I league started with you Hierophant Vaal Ice Nova and was able to get all the bells and whistles gear with it and Its been running awesome. Was thinking Burning Arrow for my second build before this vid came out and now it’s confirmed!!!
Glad to hear your voice. I was waiting when you would post a video. It would be great if next time you could make a build that is not being played by most people.
eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy esero new vieo lets gooooooooo! finaly giving us the beautiful visuals nad amazing planning for what shaped up to be one of the biggest builds of thel eague ot watch on the outside. massive oofda for the wallet on those med clusters being 2ex each base nad all but the gear and stuff is amazing super fun to watch. and i see why people love it. super sad its just the better version of fire converted ele hit this league haha
Man this build is completely insane. Followed the uniques tree and I did Sirus A9 with ease. Can't wait to transition into 6 clusters and rek the endgame.
God damnit. Just finished leveling an elementalist to play this build as Xoph prices have dropped a decent amount. Now Esoro releases his build guide for it... Time to bench it until the prices stabilize again.
Hey, I started with a Arc witch elemental and then I saw this video. I instantly sold all arc gear and have now put in around 45ex in this build. It is insanely strong. I have plenty of upgrades to do and still I melt through all kind of things so far Tyvm this will be my main build now also for coming leagues Tho I just realized I bought the replica version of malachais Have to change that
Look through every single video build guide Esoro has ever uploaded... ALL of them are outdated. Chris and GGG have an odd game development philosophy... they say it is to balance the game and keep it fresh. What they really mean is they want the hamsters to forever run on their little wheel. This video isn't even 3 months old... and the build is already destroyed.
Everyday I come back to check for a new video
glad to see you again, esoro.
With most bosses stand at a safe distance.
Esoro : Stands in their faces.
Thats how i play. And yet i still get mad when i die. Lol
Don't play as aggressively as me lol, I'm trying to get good boss kills not safe ones.
Mostly staying close means being safe because you can go around the boss really fast to dodge any attack.
