[3.5] Occultist Vortex/Cold Snap ES/CI - Deathless and Safe Uber Elder and T16's
" Guys, If I may suggest sth, I would recommend trying to incorporate intellingence into your gear. I see nobody is even mentioning this, but it's really useful. On my example: with not so great gear I'm running at 16,2k ES plus I have 1469 mana, which leaves me a comfortable margin of unreserved (205 following usual build -> 146 after some optimization.) Here's my tree/gear if you want to have a look: https://pastebin.com/gUUvqN6G |

" not sure if you've read my post on 154/153, check it out. I was going for the shapers orbs 11-15 quest + elder orb (for T16 upgrade). spawned the elder on a t10 map, traded 20chis and 5regs (vendor recipe) to retrieve my previous t10->t15 orb, used it on the t10 map that my elder spawned, and tada, my elder "spawned" on a red map. all guardians and elder dropped the fragments. if you're talking about spawning uber elder, that's what damage incorporated is saying it's also pretty easy. in my post i also explained how i got it to spawn (with 4 elder maps influence) |

Don't post much here but just wanted to let you know that I absolutely loved this build.
The initial ramp up to CI was a bit rougher than usual but after that absolutely demolishes everything for not too much investment. Killed guardians and shaper deathless..and got my first ever uber elder kill in PoE with 1 death. Thanks :)! |

Well, wanted to try a new build, all I can say is that this build is like a paper compared with my Howa MS Jugg. It's strong dmg wise but cm on, currently I got 7k ES and I get rekt by random mobs while mapping... :(

" Then you clearly don't have your resistances right. This build is more than able to do endgame content. |

" 2 leagues ago I was using jugg HOWA, that i leveled to similar level as this build (so around 96), so i can give you a comparison With howa jugg I managed to get to 13,7k ES with around 100 ex gear and it really felt tanky (meaning I could facetank everything except for biggest shots - shaper's slam etc) WIth this build I'm currently at 16,7k ES (around 20 ex invested -> planning t get to 18k ES), but I'm dying much often (sometimes dying within 0,1s). Stil, those deaths are only to exceptional cummulation of bad events / mindless play. If you learn them, what to avoid, it's rather safe to play To make it compare in numbers: Howa jug: +20-30% tankier/safier but with moderate/slowish clearing Vortex: slightly less tankier, 2 x faster clearing speed, SMOOTH!!! (uncomparable smoothness in play due to insta cast). If I were to choose again, I would go for vortex because of more fun to play and potential to eliminate it's drawbacks (not 100% survivability).

I want to use this build as a first time ssf hc player. I played a few leagues, and I know the basics. Did shaper in SSF SC this league. Now I want to try HC for the first time.
Do you think this build will make a save first time HC SSF build? |

" For HC I would go for the build we've mentioned just above, that is: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2184746/page/1 |

Just cleared uber elder with this:
So end-game content is more than doable with cheap/subpar gear. I spent 1 ex on the chest and 20c on a couple of dense fossils. Weapon was 40c. Everything else much cheaper. Obviously room to vastly improve my gear and dps (vortex DOT was about 280k) but also good enough to clear the uber fight. I'd never killed uber elder before (ever), so can definitely vouch for the quality of this build/guide. |
