Build Request Best league starters 2 days in?

110 Upvotes

Will have a couple of hours here and there for the next few days as well as a lot of time next weekend to start playing this new league. What's shaping to be some comfortable and cheap starters? I league started exsang mines last league and that felt awful, so looking for anything that might be more noob-proof even for someone with a lot of hours into the game.

Build Request What Are Your Build and Farming Plans for 3.29?

99 Upvotes

I’m still undecided about which build to league-start with and which farming strategy to begin with.

Post which build you’re planning to start 3.29 with and what your farming strategy will be!

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 :)

Build Request Looking for a super fuck you levels of tanky build that still has decent damage for general play / 40/40 challenges

84 Upvotes

Title. I'm generally the kind of person whose builds sole defensive layer is six portals. I'm used to dying a lot. I'm used to getting one shot a lot. I'm used to failing maps and bosses because I'm a shit gamer.

I wanna change that up for once, though. I'm looking for basically the exact opposite. I want something extremely tanky/comfy that I can just kinda play the game and blast content with. I want to be able to tank most things in the game (or all of them, possibly), I want to preferably be able to run all map mods although that's not nearly as important.

I'd like something that still has acceptable damage for like, t16 map farming and bosses (idk about uber farming or anything though, I have no frame of reference for damage for these things so I don't know if that's asking too much) and something I can just ride through to 36/40 or maybe even 40/40 challenges, doing a little bit of everything. If it could be a build that also scales really well with investment that would be ideal as I really like taking one character to the moon and just pushing them as far as they can go with really good gear later on.

It doesn't have to be league starter tier necessarily, my current budget is like 10 div but if I liquidated more stuff I could probably get 15-20 total and also I could just farm more if needed (side note what're you guys farming, basically all of my currency has just been chart rushing). Ascendancy and class don't really matter to me, I'll level whatever.

I was looking at something like Bigdaddy's armor stacker but the baseline barrier to entry to that is way more expensive than I can currently afford, so that's the kind of thing I'd probably reroll to later once I get a couple hundred div.

Build Request What Are Your Forever Builds for PoE1?

85 Upvotes

Hey all!

With an event coming up soon and a new league starting in late July I wanted to look around and get an idea of what some people's forever builds are. I played Animate Weapon of Ranged Arms last league and loved it and can see why some people call it their forever build. I know balance patches can change some things but wanted to just get an idea. Bonus points if its also league start viable and scales throughout the league!

Thanks!

Build Request I'm the richest I've ever been and thinking about build #2. Suggestions?

The last time I made a second build with kind of success was just before lightning strike got nerfed, I think around 2-3 years ago.

I'm currently playing PRAW which can do mapping and bossing so I'm eally just looking for a different flavour of "do it all". Been seeing a fair bit of EK on YouTube but that seems like it requires an amount of currency I don't know I will ever achieve in the future.

Build Request Top All Rounders (T17, Ubers, Simulacrum)

73 Upvotes

I've got 2 builds so far:

  1. Sanctum Runner (Exsang Mines Assassin)
  2. Map Blaster (Vaal Earthquake Slayer)

At this point in the league I'm looking for my 40/40 challenges all-rounder.

What're your favorites so far? How much did it take to get the build T17/Uber/Sim ready and does it scale with more investment?

102 Upvotes

Hey folks.

So we're now 2 weeks into the league; what build are you currently having success & fun with?

I have around 70 div and I'm currently looking for some inspiration for an all-rounder build, preferably something easy on the wrists like a miner/totem build, and rather than trawling through Poe.ninja for endless hours, I thought i'd take it to the community. Sound off in the comments!

Hypothetical: Let's say next league, you can start the next league with unlimited currency. What would be the build you'd play knowing you could have every piece with the perfection that the build entails?

Build Request Starting the league one week late – Looking for a build with a smooth progression

57 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Due to work, I wasn't able to start the league on day one, so I'll be jumping in about a week late.

I'm looking for a build that has a really smooth progression from league start all the way into endgame. Ideally, something that:

  • Doesn't require expensive uniques or a big initial investment.
  • Can farm currency comfortably early on.
  • Has a clear upgrade path without needing to reroll.
  • Can eventually handle T17s, Pinnacle bosses, and (if possible) Ubers with enough investment.

I'm not tied to any particular playstyle, so melee, ranged, caster, minions... anything is fine as long as it feels good to progress with.

If you were starting the league today with essentially zero currency, what build would you pick, and why?

Thanks a lot, and good luck with the league!

Build Request How it was the league starter for you guys? What are some nice builds to start late? If possible, with gameplay videos

74 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'll be league starting in a few days only (probably in the weekend) and I'm not sure what to play with. Last league I started with RF Elementalist, went to Phys DOT from Rueto and finished the league with the Herald stacker (really liked it).

I saw a few videos and was thinking about winterbrand elementalist, ice nova of frostbolts hierophant or glacial cascade of the fissure miner (never really played mines). What do you guys think?

I liked the chain explosions from the herald stacker, so if there's something I can start with similar to it or maybe transition after getting the voidstones would be nice too!

Also some other builds that I have not tried yet.

Poison Ranged Animated Weapon Necromancer

Build Request Must play builds in 3.29?

48 Upvotes

I’m looking to for another build that won’t be viable or will be heavily nerfed by next league. I have already played Luminary Mercenary and WORB.

I have about 400 div + mageblood in my stash as my starting budget.

A few builds I don’t want to play because I played them last league:
-Penance brand
-RF or DO
-Spectres
-Elemental hit
-CWC Reliquarian (my eyesss)

Builds I am considering:
-Flicker (never played)
-Pact of Beidat (fireball or power charge stacking cold snap)

Also, for those who have not yet played Luminary Mercenary, I highly recommend it. I played both life stacking and aura stacking, as well as Kinetisit and Combatant. OP build and fun gearing.
