So I've taken both of Jorgens league start crackling lance and blazing salvo to the mid 80s in standard, here are a few thoughts I’ve have on them. I emulated a league start in the campaign and early maps by ignoring all unique, only using found items and currency. I also restarted both in the campaign a few times to find the best way I can level them. Then basically buying some endgame gear once I hit the 80s to get a feel for endgame. They both feel amazing in their endgame form. They’re crazy tanky, have moderate clear and are super comfy on bosses. Dying wasn’t much of concern unless I wasn’t paying attention. However leveling them is a bit rough but reasonable. I’ve done minions to start for the last few league starts, which were blazing fast so my expectations may be a bit skewed. I grabbed each respective skill and used them as soon as you could. Both builds were fairly tank in the campaign but the damage output is a bit low, so I choose to add in a holy flame totem and other flat damage auras to try and get it a bit higher. That seems to help a fair bit early on. I opted to not run zealotry as soon as I could get it for crackling lance because early on it doesn’t seem to add very much, I just leveled it an off hand for later. They both seemed to hit a bit of a rough patch in part 2 of the campaign. On my 4 link I ran the each respective skill with Intensify, increased critical damage and inspiration. What I ended up doing was replacing intensify with Unleash support with any content that wasn’t a boss. I could collect large packs and drop all 3 seals on a large pack and kill almost all of it and keep running until I had 3 seals again and another large pack. It smoothed things out a lot. Intensify was definitely far more useful against unique and bosses however. Spell echo in general doesn’t feel entirely great until you’ve got enough cast speed either from the tree a bit later on in your level or from gear. Looking for some cast speed on your gear as soon as you hit maps may be a good idea. In general I was able to get both builds to maps in a little over 6 hours and change which isn’t that much slower then my previous builds, so it’s a reasonable league start.
"80% increased Critical Strike Chance against Shocked Enemies" is no longer a Lightning Mastery option. It has been replaced with "Shocks you inflict spread to other Enemies within a Radius of 10". not nit picking, but that mastery has been removed in 3.19.
Thank you for this video and POB. Was struggling so much to find a build like this and after 5 re0rolls and a week of 3.23 research finaly found it here! I know it is not a sole attempt or effort and many more have contributed with bits here and there to something nearing end game. It is now my turn to express my gratitude both to you Jorgen and ofcourse to all the content creators that provided even the slightest idea to the build. Now can have a lot of fun in my limited time. Merry Christmas to all and wish you the best for the new year. Theodore, a hardcore casualer :)
In what order should you take the "Acendencys"? What should we take as "pantheons"? You haven't specified any of this in the PoE link...It would be appreciated if you did.
I just wanted to take a second to thank you for this build. I am currently only in low tier maps, but I got lucky and a Death's Rush dropped which pretty much turned the build up to 11. Overall I find it fun, and the addition of RF is interesting (never used it before). I don't love that huge glowing circle around me (with Auto-HDR enabled its pretty bright) but I'm embracing the blindness.
About nadir and apex mode. It is a nice idea but just using two grand spectrum for crit gives basically the same thing but without caring about intensity. And if you happen to get the new grand spectrum for endurance charges you can get those too
@jorgen why did you not take Inevitable jugement? If you have 100% crit, you basically ignore ALL elemental resist permanently. That's just broken in my opinion and a miss on the POB
It's actually less powerful on the Dps calc and it doesn't give you the quality of life with reducing enemy elemental damage that you get with the other ascendency. I tried it, don't worry.
@@JorgenPOE I'm wondering if you tested it against uniques that have extra elemental resist, because logically you would think that it would be a huge difference
Looks awesome. Small note they are moving "80% increased Critical Strike Chance against Shocked Enemies" mastery to new cluster near CI if I'm not mistaken.
Mastery is gone. But new cluster by arcing blows that gives lightning DMG and crit against shocked enemies. However this means more passive points spent.
Is there any possibilty to show you my current pob? I'd like to know which direction should I take in my char. Btw, the build is the strongest league starter I've ever played!
Looks tasty, wary of unique availability, they redid the drop rates of most of these. If you have time a few sentences about suitable rare alternatives or highlight what you just cant do without in the POB notes ( I know its covered in the vid). Looks like a good build for me this league, intend to do some heist because I haven't done it for a couple of leagues. Might even spam intro heist mission for some unique rings and put a loreweave on it.
@@ajrowe5845 if you follow the skill tree he is proposing, you dont get to damage/cast speed nodes until lvl 45 so spark without cast speed is really mediocre
nice. im 80% certain i'll start with a lightning skill of some sort. the new conduit skill looks good, just trying to figure how to improve QoL of two button play style
Okay im gonna take this or Poison AW as a starter.. All in all nice looking Guide and POB but, wich ascendancys do i take first ? I somehow missed that part
@@JorgenPOE It would seem like the better option with a Glorious Vanity. I did a test with your 1-35 setup and leveling will be ruff with no dmg nodes to work with at the start. Just a heads up on that
Vanity is probably better unless going for melding and you lose potential offensive stats. This league doesn't have hyper buffed sentinel mobs. With vanity you regen es and life. That's nice as we don't get Grav craft
This is my build on 3.17 and currently fine tuning in standard. I'm using Trinity support instead of lightning penetration. Insane dual wield cast speed do not even need spell echo.
If you want blight farm i would really avoid this build, just play any summoner like phys carrion golem so you can literally afk and still complete blight
Yeah, I can update this tomorrow. Ill service a bunch of builds tomorrow night and I have another league starter vid I'll be putting out as well for WoC
Pretty much always go for the consecrated ground ascendency first. Huge survivability and then early game and Rf spell boosting is easy as piss from there on
@@JorgenPOE that's the way i took too. I don't have much time to play so i'm still in act 8 but so far, everything's fine. Only downside is that the game killed me two times when i went back in the menu to save portal scrolls somewhere between act 2 and 5. Dunno what could kill me but when i type /deaths, i'm at 2 🤷
I think I want to league start this. Will you make day 1 or 2 update once you play and see the changes? I'm not good enough to do serious troubleshooting and if there's a major change like a gem or jewel or unique that changes the game, there's no chance I would find it. Thats why I miss the official forum builds are less active because you could always read the recent msgs and see the updates. Either way this looks sweet and I think I'll start it.
Im trying this starter for lake of kalandra, im really tired of starting with the big meta builds, so thanks for doing this vid, there's a lot of info in here. Trying delve too btw, hope it goes well lol
I was thinking of trying crackling lance Trickster. Do you have any thoughts on that. I'm not experienced doing builds, but I thought it would be good since you have stand still. With the leach and recovery of trickster it might be easier to play.
I've already got a tree built for trickster. Though if you try it, the risk is with you. It'll be up tomorrow. It defense is in evasion and spell suppression.
Hello Jorgen! First of all I must say I love your guides! Good work! I have a few questions about this leaguestarter. I tried a testrun of this earlier today to see how it felt while leveling: 1. When do you transition into Crackling Lance? I tried to do it at once as I could use it, but the damage felt very lackluster on a 4-link(even at 38+ with spellecho and 1 ascendacy unlocked) 2. What are the skills I should use before I transition into Crackling? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
@@leokane3576 faster casting, added lightning and elemental overload or minion damage. Pretty much anything that scales lightning and buffs the sentinel's will work
\I just want to clarify as someone who is a new player, the gearing section that you showed the items, ring,etc.. is that stuff for during the campaign/beginning of end game? I just want to make sure before I start spending chaos orbs my friend gave me.
@@JorgenPOE I got to level 67 already and love it so far. For some reason my motlen shell doesn't work, but if I change the gem slot from the boots to sheilf (For example), it starts working again. Other than that, it's a super fun build. High dmg, lots of movement and aoe
Your crackling lance and blazing salvo guides are extremely similar. On opinions on the pros and cons of either skills? I've tried blazing salvo a bit in the past never tried crackling lance.
what do you think about pick arctic armor instead of tempest shield and pick dual wilding nodes instead of glancing blows? buffed arctic armor sounds amazing on CL, but probably i miss smth
i wasnt sure if this was posted in the build guide but what is the order for your ascendency? like which one we pick up first? then second if you dont mind clarifying.
@@JorgenPOE thanks. also wasnt sure if all the items in pob was updated. also how do u balance your resists with leadership's price? it seems to be the only amulet you would want to use. so just curious. and again ty for the prompt reply.
great guide but i have some questions :) first is lightning pen or awakened just flat out better than inevitable judgement? Oo i don't fully undertand how PoB is handling this, should ignoring resistances not be way better than penetration? especially on bosses who have huge resists? i almost want to play the ascendancy for that node and in this build guide it seems useless? i don't get it at all x) second what are you actually gaining form that unnatural instinct? mostly for malicious intent?
Hey, could you explain why you have all the charges ticked in the pob? I haven't found any source of most of them except on kill. And since you have a guardian boss in the pob config i assume you wanted to show dps and defense values in a boss fight, where most of the time you aren't killing tons of mobs to sustain charges. The same goes for onslaught and adrenaline. Since you really don't need millions of dps for the most part in clearing and really only reach 4 stacks of intensity on rare packs or bosses I can't understand how these boxes are ticked: 1.Power charges ( except when you use the mark in the non anomalous variant), 2. frenzy charges, 3. endurance charges, 4. onslaught, 5. adrenaline, 6. have killed recently, 7. is enemy unnerved. And also (but not in all the pobs) you are permanently focused, depleted you phys aegis and get constantly hit just to name a few of the things that really won't happen consistently in most boss fights, would you agree? In your last pob for example you "real" boss dps goes from nearly 10 million to 4.6 million IF you can stand still. And that is a big if with the defense on this build since at the point of investment most people would assume to go up against uber bosses ( this is the mageblood pob). I really liked your video and completely understand if you were in a rush making the pob and only glanced over what the build gets in an optimal setting when killing TONS of mobs. If you were showcasing a pure mapper your pob would be accurate from what i can tell. Also I would love to be corrected! EDIT: spelling and formatting
Is it worth using 3 grand spectrum jewels, for endurance charges, ele damage and crit over the Apex and Ndir mode jewels? The biggest part of it is finding a 4th jewel socket to also fit intuitive leap if you have all 4 of them.
I'm thinking yeah. They just release updates for min frenzy and power charges. So you could call all three charges just with three jewels which would give you huge stat increases at all levels
@@JorgenPOE So instead of the ele damage and crit one, you think just getting one of each charge would be best? That sounds like it would be good, especially because that would probably free up your gloves instead of using loch.
I ended up swapping to blazing then saw crackling lance and swapped to it thankfully not much respecing to do between the two builds loving crackling found my starter!
Prob will league start with this one, seems super fun Will there be any updates for the blazing salvo Inquisitor? Still unsure between the 2 Thanks for the content as always!
@Jorgen, started playing this build (and really want to see it all the way through). A little note - could you please, maybe in the future, do a bit more work in the direction of the leveling tree? At level 39sh(yes, I take my sweet time to level up and play in my own pace) I finally got to the point where I understood that "I'm tanky/manage to survive", but I take far too long to kill a regular monster. Thank you
@@JorgenPOE can't quite figure it out, I'm drained, even switching some.life nodes for mana regen and mana with the leap wheel instead and - to channeling skills. Not sure what I'm doing wrong
looking forward to the 3.23 update - the 2 new transfigured gems gives increased AOE and branching angle and the other one give increased effect of shock and chance to shock. feels like a swap for bosses and mapping
@@mkrishnan1982 nothing much except the skill gem has really changed. for cl. I'll update the pob though when the release the new path of building in a few days
Hi Jorgen, i have followed your guide the whole season and thanks for the guidance. I just have a few questions to finish the build. How do you get anger to trigger Watcher eye?(Nevermind i rewatched your video). And what i should do with labyrinth enchantments that are no longer available? Like Helmet i no longer can get mana reservation for zealotry and probably cant fit arctict armour because of that. Thank you again.
Hi! Just by chance that you'll read this. Can you help with a Scion lvl 92 tree for the same build? Literally all the same gear and everything, only the tree, if you have some time. Want to start Scion this league and this seems like a good skill to use. (TY for the vid anyways, its really helpful)
Hey jorgen, im gonna league start this totally, but i have one question, what are the best supports for absolution before i switch to cracking lance? Thanks in advance
i noticed that you mention delving a lot, but what if you dont want to delve with this build? i dont know why but for me delving has always been the bane of my existence. any other suggestions as far as making currency with this build? just curious since i havent done delving and i am not sure if it's optimal for me. i am always open to suggestions.
It's pretty good at straight up mapping. You could also do breach pretty well with it to. Or farming pinnacle bosses. Or shaped and elder. Or heisting.
Death Rush is nice on clearspead, but adrenaline and onslaught should not be included in damage calculation, because you wont have it on Sirus. DPS is misleading. In my opinion DPS is even more inflated because it will be difficult to have uptime on bosses, that is why I doubt it is a good league start build.
Thanks for the vid! Do you think this would work with Spark instead of CL? I like the idea of this build, but would prefer to use spark if it's viable.
@@JorgenPOE I feel like the amount of tankiness and speed you get from trickster would be great QOL. Instead of relying on regen we can rely on leech to sustain. I think I’ll make that my league start :).
I wanna play this build so bad but for all the wrong reasons... :') I don't think it's my playstyle, I don't think it's gonna be any better than it was last league where it also wasn't my playstyle, I don't think I should be starting any skill I'm not already comfortable with... But someone has gotta make a character named LanceMyCrackDaddy and this is the one build where that's justified :')
Hello, thank you for ur hard work. I will try out ur Build! I am not sure if i missed it but what do we do with Bandits? Just kill all for Skillpoints? And will u stream on Twitch or just upload ur Progress from time to time? And did u update ur PoB? In the video for the League start u show many unique items, in the PoB there are more rare options. (I am a beginner) and my PoB-Community says 3.18 Version but offers me to convert to 3.19 should i do it?
hey mate, thanks for the work and effort to create this guide! I noticed today when I loaded it into PoB and the new tree conversion to 3.19 showed some notifications about some, or all the passive being deallocated. Can it be safely ignored or will you put out a 3.19 updated version of the PoB?
With the starting DPS being on the lower end of 1.7 mil how does bossing feel when going up against the endgame bosses like the exarch? Is it just a slower kill or?
Depends on what your context of endgame is. Early on it'll be fine as you're scaling your tree and character up. Like true endgame is the second tree I posted and you'll be smashing those bosses.
@@JorgenPOE My context is really just the base bosses, like exarch and elder. But that's good to know, i had a FR posion build last league that had 9 mil dps and was struggling against them so i was really worried about this build. But maybe that's just poison, i'm still not the best at understanding damage lol
@@clydefrog1354 if 9m damage felt slow to kill bosses I’m gonna guess that was more of a theoretical dps and not what you were actually getting in gameplay. 9m is a fuckton.
@@Stentron yeah I thought it was a shit load of damage. Like I said it was poison fr so not front loaded damage, maybe it wasn't ramping up all the way or something. I just plugged my person into pob and it said I was at 9 mil dps on sirus and it felt weak at everything that wasn't mapping.
im probably going to league start this... but i have a question... how do I 5 off colors brass? i know how to do it with jeweller... but man thats going to be costly
Harvest is great way to off color especially with new harvest changes (if they kept the coloring crafts), vorici white socket works, and if you can or want tainted chromatic orbs can work too but much more random but possible.
@@samwoodycharles8760 Oh! GGG changes how harvest works. You do harvest for the seeds now only. All the crafts are available to craft anytime you want you just need the seeds (which are tradeable). We just dont know what the entire list is as far as i know (some powerful crafts may be removed or nerfed). Keep an eye out for it hope this helps.
Been testing this out currently act 7 and loving it. The tankiness is amazing, new player here and have been tired of dying in other builds to low tier maps! One question, testing it in SSF feels good for levelling, would it still be good for maps and endgame? Keep in mind, taking it slow for me is my goal, not trying to rush to t16s or anything.
If you're scaling it well, you should be able to work it in ssf. Though if you go the shock route, defs look for inpulsa's. I've not done a non-leaderships price config for this one. But I got it to like 3-4 mil without it regardless
@@JorgenPOE Okay awesome, I will be on the lookout for that. I really enjoy the idea of SSF, building your character from scratch experiencing all the content without bypassing some of it. Think it will help me understand the game better. Awesome, thanks for the quick reply! Fav PoE TH-camr!
Hei jorgen. I did some fiddling with your crackling lance end game pob. I swapped Augury of Penitence with Inevitable Judgement and swapped Awakened Lighting pen with awakened elemental focus. According to pob, these changes gave over 1mil plus dps. Doing this with awaked added lightning damage also gives more dps, about 500k more. Any thoughts?
The issue with that is ele focus will stop you from inflicting brittle, scortch and sap in the late game build. So your deeps will go down. Pob doesn't show that fir some reason.
Hey, I think the League start POB is a bit wrong. Lv 45 tree goes to the upper jewel which has Intuitive Leap. I don't think it's really possible to have that so early, or at least I hope not because I haven't been able to get one :D
This build looks really good, i am looking to test it tomorrow in standard and it is in my top 3 choices for upcoming leaguestart options. There is one Thing i do not understand about this build/Inquis ascendancy in general: Why is lightning Penetration relevant? Doesn't the Inquis Ascendancy make you ignore Res anyway on near 100% Crit?
In early leveling it's good, but not needed after you get leadership's price. But defs test it, it's pretty powerful but there is like a plateau at lvl 45 for a few levels while you catch it's power up.
This looks really fun but I'm super concerned about balancing leadership price stats with divines getting turbo nerfs. Do you think it's going to be usable if there isn't some form of divining available with Harvest?
@@JorgenPOE Sorry, to clarify will it not be much harder to balance attributes on the rest of your gear now that divines are going to be exponentially more expensive or did you manage all of the attribute balance solely through the tree? I'm not trying to poke holes, I really want to play this but the thought of having 5 extra/few Int/Str on my gloves that I now need to potentially spam divines to get right seems like a scary premise.
@@nikp3516 I told you my experience with it. I follow an important tip to use the amulet. Dont use any stats on your gear. 0 gear stats. If you follow that tip you will use the amulet just fine with only the tree.
i am playing this right now and i switched to crackling lance at the start of act 4 and it is super smooth. just in the pob the gem links are not listed, maybe u could update that?
nice guide. 99% starting this as I always play lightning skills. one question tho: is it possible to somehow put the assassins mark on a cast when damage taken gem or trigger craft wand? i like having my curses auto applied :D Thank you
I have tried to figure it out several times now, but how are we fitting all of these auras? I have the helmet for zealotry and determ on the passive, but still can't fit arctic armour?

@@JorgenPOE alright, I'll look into it, thanks!
would you see this build performing well for some early league blighted farming since its just a perfect lane annihilator
If you want blight farm i would really avoid this build, just play any summoner like phys carrion golem so you can literally afk and still complete blight
Defs agree with gazza. Most of my buddies use carrion golem for blight farming still
are you planning on doing a 3.22 pob update?
Yeah, I can update this tomorrow. Ill service a bunch of builds tomorrow night and I have another league starter vid I'll be putting out as well for WoC
@@JorgenPOE nice. :) thanx man!
man, i really need the 3.22 pob update.
:(
do you have a suggestion for the order of ascendancies or does it not really matter?
Pretty much always go for the consecrated ground ascendency first. Huge survivability and then early game and Rf spell boosting is easy as piss from there on
What is the best order for ascendancy? Better to go with crits first then consecrated ground or the other way around?
I always go for pious path first.
@@JorgenPOE that's the way i took too. I don't have much time to play so i'm still in act 8 but so far, everything's fine. Only downside is that the game killed me two times when i went back in the menu to save portal scrolls somewhere between act 2 and 5. Dunno what could kill me but when i type /deaths, i'm at 2 🤷
I think I want to league start this. Will you make day 1 or 2 update once you play and see the changes? I'm not good enough to do serious troubleshooting and if there's a major change like a gem or jewel or unique that changes the game, there's no chance I would find it.
Thats why I miss the official forum builds are less active because you could always read the recent msgs and see the updates.
Either way this looks sweet and I think I'll start it.
Yep. Will be releasing updates as I go
Awesome Build so far, currently in early maps and love it! Can I just follow this pob or should i check ot your Vidoes from Kalandra league ?
You should be fine following the pob. I think I also released a full build guide during the league for this one
Im trying this starter for lake of kalandra, im really tired of starting with the big meta builds, so thanks for doing this vid, there's a lot of info in here. Trying delve too btw, hope it goes well lol
It's should do well in delve. I'll be playing this and smashing auls for the first week of league
Excellent content dude im gonna run this as well looks dope
Same man, I'll be playing this at league start
I was thinking of trying crackling lance Trickster. Do you have any thoughts on that. I'm not experienced doing builds, but I thought it would be good since you have stand still. With the leach and recovery of trickster it might be easier to play.
I've already got a tree built for trickster. Though if you try it, the risk is with you. It'll be up tomorrow.
It defense is in evasion and spell suppression.
@@JorgenPOE That's awesome, I can't wait to see it. Thanks.
Hello Jorgen! First of all I must say I love your guides! Good work! I have a few questions about this leaguestarter. I tried a testrun of this earlier today to see how it felt while leveling:
1. When do you transition into Crackling Lance? I tried to do it at once as I could use it, but the damage felt very lackluster on a 4-link(even at 38+ with spellecho and 1 ascendacy unlocked)
2. What are the skills I should use before I transition into Crackling?
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
Definitely absolution. You can probs run that as you level up crack lance through to the end of the campaign. It scales really well.
@@JorgenPOE Thank you for a quick answer, mate :)
@@JorgenPOE Hey Jorgen, what would you use for links for absolution? Going to try out this build, but I've never leveled with absolution before!
@@leokane3576 faster casting, added lightning and elemental overload or minion damage. Pretty much anything that scales lightning and buffs the sentinel's will work
@@JorgenPOE thanks, appreciate it
\I just want to clarify as someone who is a new player, the gearing section that you showed the items, ring,etc.. is that stuff for during the campaign/beginning of end game? I just want to make sure before I start spending chaos orbs my friend gave me.
Spec towards the cast speed nodes first, this build will work well for you and super tanky to
@@JorgenPOE I got to level 67 already and love it so far. For some reason my motlen shell doesn't work, but if I change the gem slot from the boots to sheilf (For example), it starts working again. Other than that, it's a super fun build. High dmg, lots of movement and aoe
Your crackling lance and blazing salvo guides are extremely similar. On opinions on the pros and cons of either skills? I've tried blazing salvo a bit in the past never tried crackling lance.
Just preference. Basically the same tree so either has around the same outcome
Thanks for the guide, this league starter is looking super tempting!
what do you think about pick arctic armor instead of tempest shield and pick dual wilding nodes instead of glancing blows?
buffed arctic armor sounds amazing on CL, but probably i miss smth
You're giving up alot of spell block, but you could do that
i wasnt sure if this was posted in the build guide but what is the order for your ascendency? like which one we pick up first? then second if you dont mind clarifying.
I always go for pious path first so you get that insane tankyness straight up
@@JorgenPOE thanks. also wasnt sure if all the items in pob was updated. also how do u balance your resists with leadership's price? it seems to be the only amulet you would want to use. so just curious. and again ty for the prompt reply.
@@maximiliangarza you Def's want leadership's price. Huge damage buff
great guide but i have some questions :)
first is lightning pen or awakened just flat out better than inevitable judgement? Oo i don't fully undertand how PoB is handling this, should ignoring resistances not be way better than penetration? especially on bosses who have huge resists? i almost want to play the ascendancy for that node and in this build guide it seems useless? i don't get it at all x) second what are you actually gaining form that unnatural instinct? mostly for malicious intent?
Hey man, thanks for the guide. What six link should I use for the Blazing Salvo lvling? It doesn't specify in the POB
Check the endgame pob, it should be on there. Can't remember off the top of my head 😅
@@JorgenPOE Nothing on that PoB about lvling
Hey, could you explain why you have all the charges ticked in the pob?
I haven't found any source of most of them except on kill. And since you have a guardian boss in the pob config i assume you wanted to show dps and defense values in a boss fight, where most of the time you aren't killing tons of mobs to sustain charges. The same goes for onslaught and adrenaline. Since you really don't need millions of dps for the most part in clearing and really only reach 4 stacks of intensity on rare packs or bosses I can't understand how these boxes are ticked:
1.Power charges ( except when you use the mark in the non anomalous variant),
2. frenzy charges,
3. endurance charges,
4. onslaught,
5. adrenaline,
6. have killed recently,
7. is enemy unnerved.
And also (but not in all the pobs) you are permanently focused, depleted you phys aegis and get constantly hit just to name a few of the things that really won't happen consistently in most boss fights, would you agree?
In your last pob for example you "real" boss dps goes from nearly 10 million to 4.6 million IF you can stand still. And that is a big if with the defense on this build since at the point of investment most people would assume to go up against uber bosses ( this is the mageblood pob).
I really liked your video and completely understand if you were in a rush making the pob and only glanced over what the build gets in an optimal setting when killing TONS of mobs. If you were showcasing a pure mapper your pob would be accurate from what i can tell. Also I would love to be corrected!
EDIT: spelling and formatting
I rejigged today. Though it'll be completely doable with min charge stack off of the new grand jewels coming out this league
What skill is on your left mouse click please?
It's called focus. You can craft it in gear.
@@JorgenPOE thank you so much for a quick response.
Why not the elementalist ??
how would I go about fitting a headhunter and some explosions into the build?
You could get an explodey wand implicit, or winds of fury. And you should be able to slap a head hunter onto it
okey thanks I'll give it some pobing :)
Thoughts on CL with new Trickster?
Hmm. I couldn't get it working to a way I liked in my initially theory crafting, but there would be a way
Is it worth using 3 grand spectrum jewels, for endurance charges, ele damage and crit over the Apex and Ndir mode jewels? The biggest part of it is finding a 4th jewel socket to also fit intuitive leap if you have all 4 of them.
I'm thinking yeah. They just release updates for min frenzy and power charges. So you could call all three charges just with three jewels which would give you huge stat increases at all levels
@@JorgenPOE So instead of the ele damage and crit one, you think just getting one of each charge would be best? That sounds like it would be good, especially because that would probably free up your gloves instead of using loch.
@@clydefrog1354 yeah. That's what i started to plan on doing.
@@JorgenPOE awesome, thanks!
What kinda links should I use with freezing pulse at the very beginning? It feels crazy weak in act 1, even with frost bomb applying cold exposure.
lesser multi projectile, added lightning and cast speed.
@@JorgenPOE Awesome, thank you! I'll give that a shot
I ended up swapping to blazing then saw crackling lance and swapped to it thankfully not much respecing to do between the two builds loving crackling found my starter!
It's my starter to. Im keen to see what the buff looks like
@@JorgenPOE same, also if galvanic field will work with it.
Prob will league start with this one, seems super fun
Will there be any updates for the blazing salvo Inquisitor?
Still unsure between the 2
Thanks for the content as always!
Vid for blazing salvo is coming out tomorrow. I gotto sleep at some point haha
@@JorgenPOE no worries bro!
We can wait :)
@@JorgenPOE rest well, hope the alberon guardian skeletons are still on the table.
Which one you would pick Jorgen? Crack or Salvo? Also why
Hey is this still better than Blazing Salvo as a league starter? I care just about being tanky and not having bosses take 20 minutes
In the layer part the game this will achieve that end result
what is ur opinion on delve post patch note
I feel it'll be easier with the changes to blue mobs and rare enemies.
@Jorgen, started playing this build (and really want to see it all the way through). A little note - could you please, maybe in the future, do a bit more work in the direction of the leveling tree? At level 39sh(yes, I take my sweet time to level up and play in my own pace) I finally got to the point where I understood that "I'm tanky/manage to survive", but I take far too long to kill a regular monster. Thank you
How are you sustaining mana?
Spell echo gives your mana an extra server tick to regen.
@@JorgenPOE can't quite figure it out, I'm drained, even switching some.life nodes for mana regen and mana with the leap wheel instead and - to channeling skills. Not sure what I'm doing wrong
What would be an alternative to the death rush ring? Can't find anything similar
Just a cast speed ring is fine.
looking forward to the 3.23 update - the 2 new transfigured gems gives increased AOE and branching angle and the other one give increased effect of shock and chance to shock. feels like a swap for bosses and mapping
Yeah, I think it was like 200 percent increased damage or something like that to
Is the last build
guide still valid or you gonna tweak it for 3.23?
@@mkrishnan1982 nothing much except the skill gem has really changed. for cl. I'll update the pob though when the release the new path of building in a few days
NIIICCEEE this is gonna be my starter for the league @@JorgenPOE
thanks for the update!
Hey, thanks for guide and video. Quick question - isn't there an issue with mana? In each POB mana regen would allow for only 3 or 4 casts.
With spell echo, but the time you expel you mana it will regenerate.
Bro i'm fucking BLASTING with this. It's solid.
Haha yep 😉
Hi Jorgen, i have followed your guide the whole season and thanks for the guidance. I just have a few questions to finish the build. How do you get anger to trigger Watcher eye?(Nevermind i rewatched your video). And what i should do with labyrinth enchantments that are no longer available? Like Helmet i no longer can get mana reservation for zealotry and probably cant fit arctict armour because of that. Thank you again.
What gear and links should you look for early on when leveling with freezing pulse?
Won't matter too much, you're only gonna use it for a few levels then keep switching it out based on what drops and what you need
Hi! Just by chance that you'll read this. Can you help with a Scion lvl 92 tree for the same build? Literally all the same gear and everything, only the tree, if you have some time. Want to start Scion this league and this seems like a good skill to use. (TY for the vid anyways, its really helpful)
I'll take a look
@@JorgenPOE TYVM!!!
Hey jorgen, im gonna league start this totally, but i have one question, what are the best supports for absolution before i switch to cracking lance? Thanks in advance
Cast speed and anything that buffs the sentinel's like minion damage
Since your build got so much life regen, would be a bad idea fit petrified blood (instead shield charge) and pain attunement for 30% more dmg?
hmm. you could, but the issue is the tree travel to get pain attunement You'd need to balance the str and int again.
Hi! what is the order of ancendency?
Releasing vid now with all info you need. But pious path first the inevitable judgement
@@JorgenPOE okey ty bro
So how does this compare against your Blazing Salvo Inquisitor?
I'll have that vid out today but it's preference. I like both build personally
I can't decide if i want to do crackling lance inquisitor or lightning strike raider.
yeah, im stuck between on them too. what should we do :D
Haha, coin flip.
i noticed that you mention delving a lot, but what if you dont want to delve with this build? i dont know why but for me delving has always been the bane of my existence. any other suggestions as far as making currency with this build? just curious since i havent done delving and i am not sure if it's optimal for me. i am always open to suggestions.
It's pretty good at straight up mapping. You could also do breach pretty well with it to. Or farming pinnacle bosses. Or shaped and elder. Or heisting.
@@JorgenPOE tyvm for responding and i appreciate the suggestions
Death Rush is nice on clearspead, but adrenaline and onslaught should not be included in damage calculation, because you wont have it on Sirus. DPS is misleading. In my opinion DPS is even more inflated because it will be difficult to have uptime on bosses, that is why I doubt it is a good league start build.
He would with a worm flask and or Vaal breach
Defs yes on the worms flask
Thanks for the vid! Do you think this would work with Spark instead of CL? I like the idea of this build, but would prefer to use spark if it's viable.
Look for goranthas spark build for spark
What would be the strongest of the new crackling lance gems?
I'm a new player and I'm curious, are we self casting assassins' mark here?
How do you think this would play on the new trickster?
It's do well. We just need to flip the tree
@@JorgenPOE I feel like the amount of tankiness and speed you get from trickster would be great QOL. Instead of relying on regen we can rely on leech to sustain. I think I’ll make that my league start :).
I would like to try it out for 3.23 but I am not sure go for hierophant or inquisitor :(
What about new gloves for this build. Regenerate 1 rage for ever 100 life per second from regeneration. We would be able to add divergent berserk.
Interesting idea, defs will test it
It makes you effectively not regen at all, asc is useless and you cannot use rf.
I wanna play this build so bad but for all the wrong reasons... :')
I don't think it's my playstyle, I don't think it's gonna be any better than it was last league where it also wasn't my playstyle, I don't think I should be starting any skill I'm not already comfortable with... But someone has gotta make a character named LanceMyCrackDaddy and this is the one build where that's justified :')
Haha wtf 🤣
Hello, thank you for ur hard work. I will try out ur Build! I am not sure if i missed it but what do we do with Bandits? Just kill all for Skillpoints? And will u stream on Twitch or just upload ur Progress from time to time?
And did u update ur PoB? In the video for the League start u show many unique items, in the PoB there are more rare options. (I am a beginner) and my PoB-Community says 3.18 Version but offers me to convert to 3.19 should i do it?
hey mate, thanks for the work and effort to create this guide! I noticed today when I loaded it into PoB and the new tree conversion to 3.19 showed some notifications about some, or all the passive being deallocated. Can it be safely ignored or will you put out a 3.19 updated version of the PoB?
Yeah, there's a few tweaks. I'll have a look at it later on
With the starting DPS being on the lower end of 1.7 mil how does bossing feel when going up against the endgame bosses like the exarch? Is it just a slower kill or?
Depends on what your context of endgame is. Early on it'll be fine as you're scaling your tree and character up. Like true endgame is the second tree I posted and you'll be smashing those bosses.
@@JorgenPOE My context is really just the base bosses, like exarch and elder. But that's good to know, i had a FR posion build last league that had 9 mil dps and was struggling against them so i was really worried about this build. But maybe that's just poison, i'm still not the best at understanding damage lol
@@clydefrog1354 if 9m damage felt slow to kill bosses I’m gonna guess that was more of a theoretical dps and not what you were actually getting in gameplay. 9m is a fuckton.
@@Stentron yeah I thought it was a shit load of damage. Like I said it was poison fr so not front loaded damage, maybe it wasn't ramping up all the way or something. I just plugged my person into pob and it said I was at 9 mil dps on sirus and it felt weak at everything that wasn't mapping.
Whats the difference if you go herofant over inquisitivor
Inquisitor is designed to do major ele pen and life regen, heiro just doesn't have that utility
@JorgenPOE I guess I just saw a build more worried on charges and it used arc for mapping
@JorgenPOE I was thinking of switching to manabond thats y I was asking about heroic that's y
im probably going to league start this... but i have a question... how do I 5 off colors brass? i know how to do it with jeweller... but man thats going to be costly
Yeah. For early to mid, saint Huberk is able to do it with a good amount of armour.
Harvest is great way to off color especially with new harvest changes (if they kept the coloring crafts), vorici white socket works, and if you can or want tainted chromatic orbs can work too but much more random but possible.
@@POPCORN9402 well i never really enjoy doing harvest, like crafting on the spot... now i might enjoy it more and try to craft with that. thank you
@@samwoodycharles8760 Oh! GGG changes how harvest works. You do harvest for the seeds now only. All the crafts are available to craft anytime you want you just need the seeds (which are tradeable). We just dont know what the entire list is as far as i know (some powerful crafts may be removed or nerfed). Keep an eye out for it hope this helps.
Been testing this out currently act 7 and loving it. The tankiness is amazing, new player here and have been tired of dying in other builds to low tier maps! One question, testing it in SSF feels good for levelling, would it still be good for maps and endgame? Keep in mind, taking it slow for me is my goal, not trying to rush to t16s or anything.
If you're scaling it well, you should be able to work it in ssf. Though if you go the shock route, defs look for inpulsa's. I've not done a non-leaderships price config for this one. But I got it to like 3-4 mil without it regardless
@@JorgenPOE Okay awesome, I will be on the lookout for that. I really enjoy the idea of SSF, building your character from scratch experiencing all the content without bypassing some of it. Think it will help me understand the game better. Awesome, thanks for the quick reply! Fav PoE TH-camr!
Where does the crackling lance drop
How is this for Bossing? That's my goal this league.
It hit pretty hard at endgame. I had no issues when I tested it
Hei jorgen. I did some fiddling with your crackling lance end game pob. I swapped Augury of Penitence with Inevitable Judgement and swapped Awakened Lighting pen with awakened elemental focus. According to pob, these changes gave over 1mil plus dps. Doing this with awaked added lightning damage also gives more dps, about 500k more. Any thoughts?
The issue with that is ele focus will stop you from inflicting brittle, scortch and sap in the late game build. So your deeps will go down. Pob doesn't show that fir some reason.
@@JorgenPOE I was wondering what i've missed. Thank you for your input.
what is the order of the ascendancy points
Pious path first. Then the remaining two after that depending on how your build feels
@@JorgenPOE thanks man im gonna try this out
Could you go Instruments of Zeal for cast speed?
Yep. You can re-adjust however you like.
Hey, I think the League start POB is a bit wrong. Lv 45 tree goes to the upper jewel which has Intuitive Leap. I don't think it's really possible to have that so early, or at least I hope not because I haven't been able to get one :D
Skip it for now until you get it, doesn't break the build.. Though intuitive leap will be cheap anyway.
"This tank is also super super tanky." I'm sold. A tank inside a tank!? Now Sirus will never one shot me.
Corrupted blood is more the issue with Sirus straight up haha. His hits are pretty weak against this build
The skills are gone on the PoB on league start and endgame.
Hmm. I'll need to fix that
Love your content, was planning on expedition farming this league, how well will this perform?
should smash it. I had no issues when I tested it in the 3.18 endgame
This build looks really good, i am looking to test it tomorrow in standard and it is in my top 3 choices for upcoming leaguestart options. There is one Thing i do not understand about this build/Inquis ascendancy in general: Why is lightning Penetration relevant? Doesn't the Inquis Ascendancy make you ignore Res anyway on near 100% Crit?
Edit: I just realised you don't take that node, i thought it was op but the other 4 prolly have higher prio
In early leveling it's good, but not needed after you get leadership's price. But defs test it, it's pretty powerful but there is like a plateau at lvl 45 for a few levels while you catch it's power up.
This looks really fun but I'm super concerned about balancing leadership price stats with divines getting turbo nerfs. Do you think it's going to be usable if there isn't some form of divining available with Harvest?
You can't divine ls price, it drops corrupted.
@@JorgenPOE Sorry, to clarify will it not be much harder to balance attributes on the rest of your gear now that divines are going to be exponentially more expensive or did you manage all of the attribute balance solely through the tree? I'm not trying to poke holes, I really want to play this but the thought of having 5 extra/few Int/Str on my gloves that I now need to potentially spam divines to get right seems like a scary premise.
@@nikp3516 I told you my experience with it. I follow an important tip to use the amulet. Dont use any stats on your gear. 0 gear stats. If you follow that tip you will use the amulet just fine with only the tree.
i am playing this right now and i switched to crackling lance at the start of act 4 and it is super smooth. just in the pob the gem links are not listed, maybe u could update that?
I took a look to your take on the Cold reap, you forgot about the Rmr mastery and brittle , do you plan on updating it?
Yeah I'll revise it
@@JorgenPOE I wonder if it's really league start viable, the damage seems low, but i may be a noob :D
Hey! I started with blazing salvo but im going to switch to this the trees are quite similar.
nice guide. 99% starting this as I always play lightning skills. one question tho: is it possible to somehow put the assassins mark on a cast when damage taken gem or trigger craft wand? i like having my curses auto applied :D Thank you
What do you think about assasin mark on shaper influenced ring 😅
is that still a thing? I though that slipped into legacy?
Hy , i realy like your build. Where can i find the POB? ^^
Should be in the description.
@@JorgenPOE Ohh sorry , i find it. Thank you!! :)
I have tried to figure it out several times now, but how are we fitting all of these auras? I have the helmet for zealotry and determ on the passive, but still can't fit arctic armour?
Hey, is leadership price is mandatory ? hard to have charisma on amulet, the item drop corrupted i think. thanks for answer :)
There's an oil that allows you to annoint in corruption amulets, easy to get charisma on it
