[3.16] Storm Brand Build | Assassin | Scourge | Path of Exile 3.16

Hey guys, here is storm brand build. Using void batteries and badge of the brotherhood. There are a lot of builds with this setup. I wanted to play storm brand because I like brand playstyle. Badge of the Brotherhood has a unique mod that "Your Maximum Frenzy Charges is equal to your Maximum Power Charges". So we can have 10 power and frenzy charges.


Build Cost
- Medium Budget: 10-50 ex


Power Charges: Playing with 10 power charges
- Overcharge, Instability, Infused (Skill Tree), +3 Power Charge
- Unstable Infusion (Ascendancy), +1 Power Charge
- 2x Void Battery, +2 Power Charge
- Helmet (Warlord mod), +1 Power Charge

Thread of Hope: Large ring

Glorious Vanity: Doryani to get Corrupted Soul keystone.

Bandits: Help Alira


3.16 CHANGES:
- Holy Conquest: No longer has “Brands Attach to a new Enemy each time they Activate, no more than once every 0.3 seconds”, it now has 25% increased Brand Damage and Brands have 25% increased Area of Effect if 50% of Attached Duration expired.

You may run into some problems after the changes.

Problem: Transcendent Flesh now only gives 14% Crit multiplier in that socket.

Solution: Remove it. (GGG style) Use a rare jewel with inc life, crit multi, attributes, res if needed.

Problem: Thread of Hope doesn't provide the nodes we want. (Not worth using for just one node.)

Solution: Replace it with a rare jewel.

Badge just allows you to have the same amount of frenzy charges power charges. You still need a way to generate those. The build uses a chest that has "10% chance to gain frenzy charge on hit". This can only roll on redeemer influenced chests.

How does this build compare vs occultist and inquis version?
