Best SSF build?

Like up

Which one and why?

Currently playing Scion BV+ES+(eventually)CI and it is pretty reliable. But wondering if there is something better.

Builds for SSF should:

1. Not be gear dependant.
2. Work with white items.

You will not reach the same powerlevel in the same time as SSF, but you can play the same builds, as long as they are not centered around a specific item you don't have and most likely never will obtain (even common uniques like stone of lazwhar hide like Ninjas once you need them).

Gearing is easy enough these days with Mastercrafting and Essences.

ES is still completely possible with doing ssf but you will need to know at the least the basics about crafting. Life builds aren't going to be that much better in ssf either without items like belly / kaoms to carry you. Finding / crafting your own gear does limit what builds you can play but most of the popular skills are all "viable" in ways.

Work with white items? Why? That's a really odd definition of SSF - which in fact even your own character doesn't meet.

Because good build should work with white items. Im not talking about clearing maps or killing top bosses - just work. Any gear that is better than white just empowers good build.

Just that as i see it.

My buold works but now im trying to craft 5L on my chest that has deacent amount of ES so i can finally go IC. But it holds me back.


However i was wondering about my nex one in 3.0 (because i will also go with ssf) and i want to recognise my options.

Essence Drain+Contagion is a go to build for SSF because it is not really at all gear dependent. Gear can make it significantly more powerful.

I've done ok with FB totems - can be done Chieftain,Hierophant or Inquisitor - not gear dependent and also HC viable (my death was mostly my fault) up to yellow maps - I suppose, haven't gone that far yet... Totems in general are a good option, if you like the playstyle.

Work with white items? That seems........overly restrictive. Especially since it precludes any spell damage build which is not implicit in....most/all?......whites.

Would "works without defining unique" be a better qualification? Like - whispering ice build is OUT!

Long time SSF here, and my 2 cents:

Warchief totem is easy-peasy - just need a high dps two-hander (and some defense, which is always my Achilles heel)

Earthquake - same as above

That said, Whispering Ice has cards that can be farmed. You just cant start with that build, but you can probably gear it as a 2nd or 3rd.

@OP- Flameblast totems is a solid choice, doesnt need shit to work.
