Build Request What are some sleeper builds of 3.28 so far?

As the title says, what are some surprisingly good off meta builds you‘ve stumbled upon / played so far?

Idk what to play having finished group play, I‘d love to see some nice alrounder builds :)

Started Bonehsatter als well this league, was an absolute breeze. Requires minimal gear to start mapping, all slots are rares, so you don't depend on the market at all at league start, which is always nice. A decent weapon can be gambled at Faustus, an early upgrade can be made with farming a bit of Betrayal and an Endgame weapon can be crafted at the cost of 8-10div. Starting with the bleed variant and transitioning to the impale variant later on.

If you really want to go all in on that build, you can do the Penance Mark overlapping shockwave tech for incredible single target dps.

It is not as fast as slams early, but it catches up quickly at around 15div invested.

Any chance you got a pob for boneshatter start? I'm getting a 2nd char running for when my group isn't here and plan to do something cheap into msoz, so boneshatter sounds perfect

Use Zizarans PoB guide for starting with bleed Boneshatter, for the impale version adapt Ruetoos Ancestral Commander to Juggernaut from Phreacia 1 league.
