If you want to make the mid tier version much tankier you can use Enduring Cry + Urgent orders(this gives war cry speed) since we have 2 spare links and take +1 endurance charge but it is an extra button so it's up to you if you want it or not I just remembered I didn't mention that my bad
Highly recommend following this guy if you want a good build! Played this last league and made it to 26 challenges just with the starter and only about 3 days /played.
Just for a but if min maxing you could drop the Stormshroud Jewel for Ancestral Visions Jewel. Allowing you to remove the Shock avoidance(Ghastly Eye jewel) on the tree. And add something else.
Hey man sick build! I'll be giving it a try. Also I wanted to recommend checking out the new Loadouts option in PoB since it seems you like to keep everything organized. You can group everything into loadouts now based on your own personal breakpoints for builds. It's super nice
Tried this build, its actually great but on crit version i have very big issue with mana. Without using lifetap i often end up in situation that i have more attack speed then mana to use spells. I mean that i do one skill one normal attack etc. Any ideas?
I think with the Recombinators back in the game this League. A 500 DPS weapon might be more than possible if not easier just by forcing a double fractured weapon.
bro just Save my leage start was just to come to your chanel and start asking for this vid :D i made this one lest leage an it was facking so sood and good my 2nd best play and leage whit Steel skills tnx so much bro
Been running split -> cruelty -> leech > return > fork > greater projectiles. Its pretty massive, fork and greater projectiles does exactly what you think it does lol
Man I was hoping and hoping that this time around you'd make the splitting steel build as a new glad build. Super hyped for a bleed splitting steel. Any shot at all that you'd make a PoB for one? Regardless, killing it as always man.
First league I’ve had trouble figuring out what to start. Dunno if I’ll take the bleed bait, use sweep, or use this. Leaning towards this just because the presentation was solid and pretty convincing.
dude this build was so easy to set up and make good money last leage it was awesom and i made it work to higher dps to got Nemis and swap the retarn proge for inc crit it was stupid good
Can the mid version do Uber bosses? I’m playing standard league, do the league changes affect the standard league even tho we can’t use the mechanics ?
Hi, playing the build with this guide rn. It looks like there's a returning projectiles enchant on 2H sword, can that possibly be better than Paradoxica + Beltimber?
I honestly sat here for 5minutes thinking about what I would tell someone to play if they were new. Straight up ideally you play something that looks fun that you wanna play BUT if I had to pick something I would maybe say srs guardian since his ascendancy pretty much gives him enough power to slowly push to t16's. A weaker build but a solved build is RF from pohx it's not "strong" by any means but it's one of the few builds in the game that has been 100% solved and all the info you could ever want exists. If those don't sound good then just go full meta and look into the goratha frostbolt build he streams and will answer any questions you have and that build is busted for damage. GL HF
Hi, happy to see splitting steel alive this league. I was reading through rune crafts and saw attack projectiles return to you on two handed sword, might it work with this build?
Yea ive been playing around with splitting steel, im not really seeing the value of the dual weilding over a monster 2h. Maybe its block chance being prioritized? The damage output on the dual swords is just so much less lol. I kind of want to run a starforge, but im not quite there yet
does the build have enough life regen for Kaom's Spirit? Everything else looks smooth but thats the one of part of the build that looks a bit off to me tho I might be missing something
For the expensive crit version you gloss over Eternal damnation as just being the best option. however the fury valve just seems too good damage wise to get some extra elemental tankiness? or is that extra mitigation just that good/ your damage doesnt get affected as much as it seems it would? Also while im sitll missing the watchers eye and ancestral vision, otherwise the required gear isnt currently half as expensive as you seem to imply. Like if you get absolute perfection in rolls everywhere it would be but for like one step under that there is currently so much great gear floating around that compared to other "expensive" builds ive seen it doesnt seem too bad. (assuming you ignore the aforementioned jewels which the builds runs fine without)
this is before loadouts were out, its 1 level over because it has help alira ticked just take the free skill pt instead in endgame, also it doesn't really matter if you want more tank go get more tank if you want more damage just go get damage.
Ran a champion SS last league all the way through and had a great time. Had a nimis, but wanted to use a mage blood too and couldn’t figure how to incorporate it properly on the champion. I saw others using mageblood with the trickster build. Do you think mageblood is viable in the champion version? Debating going SS again just trying to put some end league goals together.
prrroooolllyyy not? if I made this build for deep endgame 2weeks+ I wouldn't pick champ he's just barley still good enough to make league start easy, outside of a league start setting a trickster can (I think) still become nearly immortal idk if trickster cheated the conversion nerfs or not though
@@WafflezLovesArpgs thank you so much for the reply. Will probably go trickster then just because I don’t like making new characters during league. Truly appreciate your help man! 🖤
Hey, im new to Poe and i will try this build today! Looks very nice. Can this build kill uber atziri? No need for other uber bosses, only atziri :) LG Frank
i played in 3.24 a splitting steel and makes so fun, i look for a softcore build with full equip, mageblood nimis all the sh.... :D can u make so an build for 3.25 ?
The issue with advertising a champion as league start is sure, it can be done, but a slayer can do it better. It has overleech, it has access to crit so it's going to be less of a pain to gear end game, it has easy access to frenzy and endurance charge stacking. What does a champion have? A gimped blessing and fortification that was only sought after because of ballista builds which was nerfed, it no longer has attack speed and armor. Really no scalability compared to others.
The entire goal of a league start to me is something we know works and is safe. Slayer looks amazing and is probably the best ascendancy this league....but have we tested it? Does it feel smooth from level 60 until 4 stone and which tested melee skill do I know I can play in Hc this league deathless and with confidence. The answer is Splitting Steel to me maybe you tested every melee skill and you know a replacement but at the end of the day I know people played this exact version last league and had a successful league start and then they can reroll to slayer later when they know what works and what doesn't.
I must be dumb, but I can't figure out how to get gloves with that rage implicit. Is this still available in the current league and if so how do I get that on gloves?
@@WafflezLovesArpgs I can't seem to search for that mod when searching via trade, or when doing a search for searing exarch implicits. Edit: I'm now finding it under Gain # Rage on Attack Hit. I must have had bad filters setup before not realizing it...
how are you proc'ing adrenaline? I get the lifetap is a way to lower your hp but the ascendancy gives you adrenaline when you're low (which is 20% ish) no? I didn't see your hp drop that low in the adrenaline explanation section so I'm a little confused as to how exactly the adrenaline is proc'ing if someone could explain it
low life is 50% these days so corrupting fever+lifetap+second wind will eat thousands of hp so you just level or de-level the gem until using lifetap would consume half ur hp, you heal 25% once adrenaline procs and hit ur life flask asap.
I looked at one trickster splitting steel leaguestarter with a hc mindset and clicked off the pob within 2mins so idk if you have a much better pob than the one I seen but it had basically no defenses at all just 6k es
@@WafflezLovesArpgs no i dont have a better pob, i played ss champ last league and wanted to try out trickster. I saw steelmage on trickster SS on hardcore, but that wasn't a League start build, so that would be a bad comparison.
