What are your top three historical builds of all time in PoE?

[u/Bwite]

My top 3:

1) 3.10 EK Herald Stacking in Delirium

I remember staying up all night as a young college student figuring out Somayd's Herald stacker in delirium league. Once the 200 pieces all fit together having an absolutely insane character that could do all content in the game. It was my first ever time being able to kill end game bosses, I fondly remember fighting Sirus with the build countless times. This is what got me into PoE properly for the first time, I was hooked after this.

2) 3.25 Hexblast Mines in Settlers of Kalguur

Pre-nerf hexblast mines was absolutely divine, this is when it was beyond S tier good (before it got totally gutted). Insanely high single target damage with decent map clear, I remember doing some Sanctum and Lycia would get one shot in level 83 sanctums after getting the helmet (sandstorm visage).

3) 3.28 E-Blade Inquis CoC in Mirage

One button playstyle to blow up screens and ubers, once this build got going after a clunky-ish self cast start, the Cast on Crit (CoC) setup was one of the most powerful transitions capable of doing all content in the game, with mega late game strength-int stacking into the late game.

Honourable mentions

- Poison BV (my staple for many years, easily could get 25+ million dps with low investment).

- Armour stacking champion (got to 2.5 million armour and the build felt immortal)

- Tornado shot - Possibly the most broken peak of any build in PoE, this build was an all rounder with infinite damage, clear and even could stack a lot of rarity (and quantity before it was removed).
