I forgot to emphasize this; Prioritize Putting quality on Energy blade whenever you can during the "setting up for sanctum swap" phase of the build. If you get a high roll quality in lab use it on energy blade. EDIT: you may also notice I have an entire body armour without sockets, using galvanic field of intensity in a 4L here is quite good if you want to push single target but not necessary Great for clearing bosses a bit faster but not mandatory. EDIT: updated PoB for a bit more efficient pathing(check to make sure pob hasn't been bricked, throughout theupdate process I bricked gear set/skill sets a couple times, current pob should be fixed)
@@CaptainLance9 I would like to push Penance Brand to do Sanctums 83 and then get gear for swap. What mandatory upgrades I should get to push Penance Brand further? Some kind of Void Batter power charge stacking with Malachai Loop etc?
would really like 1 interim step like wolfy asked for the penance brand gear. i've been trying to use different combinations of gear and not sure how to scale the damage without swapping to hexblast setup
@@CaptainLance9 Would love to see an extra intermediary gear/gems setup that shows you what gear you can buy and use for PBoD while gearing towards the hexblast swap. It feels like you just gloss over how to do that when the transition is the most important part of the build!
Loved this build last league but what happened to slams and Chieftain? Was so excited to see what he comes up with and he just updates the same build again.
@@donnkoz I am going to be leaguestarting zerker slams, stuff takes time and I had planned to update this first for those who wanted it updated based on current league. Tomorrow ill make vid on my plan for leaguestart
Quick tip for heist: If you're scared that you won't be able to complete heist (if you die on going out on alarm you lose all contraband items) you can go back from heist area and all items become clear. Then you can go again and complete it.
Hey bro, just wanted to say this build is awesome. I had a few hiccups during leveling, but since I had a lucky drop with my gladiator that was my league starter, I had 15 divs to play with and was able to gear up pretty much the whole build when I got to lvl 85 or so. Tried a few Sanctums, but it didn't click with me at first, I sucked, failed a few and decided to leave Sanctum alone for a bit. Just mapping with this build is pretty satisfying though, throwing mines and deleting packs of mobs, and the damage on single target is nice. A few days ago I decided to try Sanctum again, I watched a few guides this time to make sure I wouldn't fuck up. I started to consistently finish Sanctums, and just by farming I am making about 25-30 divs a day, which is pretty nice, and I'm not even fast or efficient at it. But today, I hit the jackpot. After my 60th Sanctum or so, I dropped THE ORIGINAL SCRIPTURE. I was in absolute disbelief when I picked that thing off the ground. I think that's the single most valuable item I dropped in all of my thousands of PoE hours. This may be the first time I get my hands on a Mirror of Kalandra in PoE, if I manage to sell this thing (0 chance I'm going to try to run it myself, lol).
@@hapakaja I would bro, but it gets deleted if I post any links. Just check out my profile and import it to PoB, its not private. My PoE profile is Viniciuss_137, my character is Gerard_HB. If you're having any problems or struggling with anything specifically, let me know, I'll try to help you.
It took me a while to understand an rebuild your Build. But it is awesome!! I got it working with around 10 Divine. T16 is absolutely no Problem. I will Test T17 tomorrow.
with 20c budget on league start you can be crit cap by lvl 73. Maw of Conquest helmet + Light of Lunaris shield. boots+belt+amulet+rings to fix resistances without killing kitava of cause. regular penance brand with crit mastery +150crit on enemies with full life and lightning wheel by eldritch battery +100 crit chance if you have skitterbots to pre shock enemies. everything adds up to 99+- crit chance and 506 multi without assasin mark. planning to go with two Call of the Brotherhood if price isn't too crazy for juicy freezes on guards
i just want to caution everyone. at 68 assuming you leveled with firestorm, there is 0% chance you have ur penance brand at a decent level, and u wont have ur other gems properly leveled, he is also using quality on eblade which is a massive buff. You might be able to do the quest tier 68sanctum they give you, but even like 75-76 will be tough runs. If you can level stuff in weapon swap, and run more of the heists(atleast check the market every level). Also theres a massive difference between regular penance brand and the alt qual one. Video isin't bait the builds awesome! 68 tho might be... honestly luck based, if you get a tough affliction run you might brick it . Temper expectations for sure, The start is gonna be very bumpy. also crown of the inward eye is better if ur not planning to play hexblast
old comment, but gem levels don't matter as much in this build since you already geta ton of flat from energy blade/spell blade combo so the flat you get from levels is less noticable. This is why he has a lower level hexblast in his final pob too cause it relaly doesn't matter that much and costs less mana res. Similarly you will get qual from lab for energy blade while farming for the alt quality penance brand.
@@xyzqsrbo "old comment, but gem levels don't matter as much in this build since you already geta ton of flat from energy blade/spell blade combo " They absolutely do 100% just any spell based build, the damage is night an day between low level and 15-17's, same goes for quality on Ebalde and PB of dissipation. The difference is more then 10%.(quality alone) "This is why he has a lower level hexblast in his final pob too cause it relaly doesn't matter that much" No? He has a lower hexblast level because of life reservation and management issues, that's why its lower? what? why would you intentionally have it lower otherwise?????? "Similarly you will get qual from lab for energy blade while farming for the alt quality penance brand." You don't famr for pb, you run heist for chaos and buy pb. did you watch the video? the claim is this is a sanctum rush pb strat that u can do at lvl 68 and start farming sanctum. A lot of people who arent proficient at sanctum have already failed and wrote in comments that they failed this strat.I dont want to go back and fourth but you... i dont know why would you say any of this.
@@SadSinStory "No? He has a lower hexblast level because of life reservation and management issues, that's why its lower? what? why would you intentionally have it lower otherwise??????" Not sure why you are saying this when I said literally what you just said directly after? The dps difference isn't massive so it's worth getting better reservation. This isn't my conjecture btw, this is just how he explained it in his video about this build last league. I never advocated to run with no quality, you definitely need quality. I was strictly talking about gem levels. "You don't famr for pb, you run heist for chaos and buy pb. did you watch the video? the claim is this is a sanctum rush pb strat that u can do at lvl 68 and start farming sanctum." Not sure why he would recommend heist, that's just dumb, you can easily get the gem before 68 from lab lol. Honestly unsure why you were so rude with this response.
@@xyzqsrbo i dont want to make this a back and forth. I have issues even with ur response. Agree to disagree. And sorry for being hostile and rude to you.
I played this last league and despite normally doing a lot of sanctums each league (like 1 week of farming them straight each league since tomes got introduced), I failed my first two sanctums (one quest book and I spent rest of my currency on a second one) and had to do some very uncomfortable rerolling. Maybe it's a skill issue, but I would say going shockwave totem on hiero or any hexblast shadow is a much better way to go about starting sanctum early. If you mess this up like I have, you can't really do maps easily, so please make sure to take this into account. This is nothing against this build guide or Lance - he makes some really great stuff.
This is the build that broke my RF standard for league start. It was wonderful. Once I saw the Capt do the keystone bosses with shit gear I was sold and it’s been amazing every time I have built it. I hope it’s as good or better come 3.25 woot! I watching vid now
One thing that I find works super good with the weighted sums stuff you setup for people is to instead of sort by cheapest, put in how much currency you want to spend in the 'buyout price max' field (for example 5c), then do the search and sort by weighted sum.
Unpopular opinion: I don't think it's that bad for mapping. It's certainly not a fast mapper, but it's reliable for killing those overtuned rares (especially hyper juiced Essence mobs). It's also great for Harvest, cause you can pre-fire those mines while you wait for the mobs to spawn, kill the first wave immediately and then keep on spamming, and the range is quite enough for the small area of these plots. And yea, it is a boss killer, which makes progressing the atlas for many beginners so much easier, cause often times they struggle with defeating the Maven, or Elder/Shaper, with theyre squishy mapping builds. And another unpopular opinion, is that as a softcore trade player, I reaaally love the fact it has so many uniques, and barely any rares to craft. It's so much more comfortable to build and straight forward due to that. These are just the things I'm looking for in a build!
yea i absolutely hate sanctum so i went straight to maps, rares elites and bosses are melted by penance brand in seconds, i'm a bit squishy too but i die due to 4g internet 2s ping spikes more than to actual skill issues lol
it's good at mapping it just doesn't have the defenses to be classified as a great mapper imo. You are pretty paper with just 7k ES and a dream holding you up lol.
When I played it last league, it wasn't squishy at all, tho. It's definitely not a glass canon! You get near 100% spell suppression, 30k Evasion rating, a good amount of block and spell block chance, 80% ele res cap (last league i used all 3 purities so i was at 85% / 86%), pretty good recovery, from the energy shield masteries, ghost dance, zealots oath, etc. , using enfeeble + temporal chains (either one of them with blasphemy, the other on gloves as an on hit corrupt), chaos res capped and then 7k es! It felt really good last league. Of course it could be tankier, but that's enough to do all content almost, I'd rather increase my damage at that point, so I could insta phase those ubers, or one shot sanctum Guardians :D
I leaguestarted this and have been enjoying it so much! Thanks for the guide. The thing I am stuck on now is trying to get the gear upgrades. I feel like I do not understand how to optimize damage just yet
I asked about it the other day, but I do wanna know a bit more about ROTP. What does a normal ROTP build look like? Until now I have only been using gimmicks to hit the appropriate reservation efficiency, like the Kalandra flipped ring and blood nodes from the warlock in affliction.
I'm late to the energy blade party as I only found your stuff recently but as a build template it looks fascinating. I'll be doing some dry runs this week of starters and this is definitely in there. Got to say I'm not sold on the aesthetics of the templar in a ghostwrithe - the stuff of nightmares lol.
lance, did you have a filterblade for the leveling of the EB LS inquisitor? have you done for the start and can set free for us?
2 месяца назад
I did some test run, and i think at least for me fastest/easiest way to level will be just ascend to Guardian, let the OP summon carry me to maps, and then swap to Inquisitor. Should be able to respec back with just gold this league, and even if not, there is enought regret points for this (getting just normal+cruel nodes).
hey! I played this last league and it was really good. The only issue I had was with uber lab, I had to deactivate energy blade and change to life gear before the boss or make 0 mistakes with the traps. Do you have any recommendations about this?
Is this a build that can function decently off of a sub-10 divine budget? I like to try to find builds that have a playstyle that feel good without having to invest too much into them. I'm definitely wanting to run Sanctum, but I just find that Hexblast Mines isn't really my cup of tea and I'm not sure I want to invest more into it. EDIT: Also can this build play Doryani's? lmao I dropped a 6L one and have no idea what to do with it.
Hey Lance! Loving the build like always, but I wanted to ask if there's more of a "endgame" pob that you have for tristack that is more in detail? 9m dps is pog, but I wanna do 99 instead :))
can you please make a sanctum guide as well? for the past two leagues ive been checking on you but this time it really picked my interest. but the thing is, i hate sanctum, the reward pool is very shallow but if i can see the early sanctum, i may change my mind about it. probably there are some people like me.
that version is still good but it's just a lot worse for sanctum so lance doesn't make many vids on it. I'm sure there are a few on poe ninja to check out.
i failed my first two sanctum runs with this build by getting 1-shotted from off screen by a sniper who had followed me whom i didnt know was there, same thing both times. Sucks.
Yo Lance! Any reason why Penance Brand isn't a go-to end game? Why Hexblast over Penance? Was the nerf too hard last patch and killed it for end game content? I was hoping to replay the build you've put out on Affliction since that was the best char I've ever played, but if it's dead I'll probably change my plan. thanks for the builds as always
Hexblast is omega brain off energy and has no ramp. It auto aims at everthing around you while with penance you have to click on top of the enemies. The ramp is also pretty annoying at least until GG gear.
Oh Im intrigued now, I was planning to do a Sanctum rush, but as an Occ Hexblast I dont know if the PoB I have is enough damage, so I might do the same as you, I will definetly try a couple runs
Hey lance, great guide. I noticed on some of your older videos that you used "use flask at end of duration" enchantment when going low life traitor, and I would like to suggest you specifically point out and use "use this flask when charges reach full" instead. The downside of this is that if you accidentally piano things you might have a longer some downtime (though either enchant is vulnerable to this problem), but the upside is that after a second or so in the zone, the flask will automatically use itself. I heard you mention in some video 'just remember to hit your flask, eventually it will be habit'...sanctum is a pretty rough place to try to learn this habit. As someone who is very noob at sanctum, I was forgetting often - way too often for low life to be league start viable - and was frustrated to the point of looking for other builds until I realized this option. Both situations can result in death from user error (especially the boss in t2 if he blasts you in the face with chaos damage), but I think it's much more comfy and reliable to just have it remember to use it for me. I think only the chaos damage from that boss is the only real danger from not pressing flask manually.
Hi Captain lance am looking for this build to my second character to play if I can't mange to get the curtain call with skill gem mana cost and reservation (cheapone is cost 10 dv) what helmet i can use while am farming for divine orb to buy it?(Rn i have around 6 dv) thankyou for make a good video!
How do you sustain Sanctum tomes? I only get a couple a league. I suppose I could buy them but I've never done sanctum very well so worried about losing currency buying them?
@@user-ux3jp9oo7r u should definitely wait, u need to get both dex and strength up to 800 for curtain call to work, and the build kinda needs some of those passives yk. Especially with dual personality and the cluster
@@user-ux3jp9oo7r Nah, wait till 90. U need the passive points especially with split personality and the cluster aswell as curtain call requiring 800 dex and int
Energy blade ☑ Traitor ☑ Ivory tower ☑ truly a visionary Thank you for making every single build in PoE's history, especially definitely not stealing every build from reddit (example: Stealing the aura stacking from deli and pretending you just stumbled upon it)
@@TheTickyTickyTicky Maybe he shouldn't keep taking credit for stuff he didn't create while acting all proud about it, then. It's not a good luck for such an "illustrious" build creator.
On "high" investment, easily. I farmed simu non stop last league. You have to be chaos res capped and your damage output should be decently high to farm consistently
If you die vs 4 lab traps on tristack hexblast version. They do damage from your maximum life&es pool and dont give a fuck about life reservation or energy blade. Solution respec crit nodes from assendacy and go consecrated ground nodes (with zealot oath if your es bigger then life pool), enable energy blade only vs izaro, take bleed pantheon + arakali pantheon. Add guard skill (immortal call cwdt). Try to throw mines before going into trap zone, to kill increase damage totems. Chill you dont die from just spikes. Get gud.
On high end gear how do you solve the helical vendor craft nerf (I'm referring to the fact GGG removed the vendor craft the let you "remove" the fractured mod on the helical ring if the orb does not hit the affix you want it to hit)?
So what do you do in a situation when you have 6 chaos and tomes cost 20 on 1st day? can't map cause not finished kitava can't farm cannot do anything time to reroll??
Look. There are flaws like chaos defence, before coruscating elexir+chaos res, its easy do die vs last sanctum boss (u spend life to use skills and have low life pool). Outside that you tanky enough, but may die if you tank 2-3 big hits (like blink attack from swordsmen) Later u may find that 4 lab extremely rippy to this build. Traps do stupidly big damage because they calcs your life pool like there no life reservation and energy blade.
@@abson0m Thanks for that, I've loaded a few of my old chars on standard that never did Sanctum. The way point is always there and when i run to the sanctury through Ossurary there is only 1 clickable thing which does not drop anything. Do you remember if the tomb drops from that area?
This time, i'll follow 1 mana left guy. Tired from so many energy blade builds (did it like for 7 or 8 leagues a row already). Tired from constant nerfs of this build.
@@MyNameIsSalo sry, man, i will not bother explaining each individual nerf to this build. One of them - guardian ascendancy change. We had over 100k armour at some point and could afk tank uber uber elder at the last phase of the fight...
