don't take it the wrong way but i think from all the skills on the series, this is the most successful one so far imo. This map boss definitely one of the hardest from all T17 and normal exsanguinate usually coupled with reap yet the build can do it with 1 skills only. Really promising build, maybe for next league starter. Props for you, and hope you don't get burnout and can continue the series for next league as well as (maybe) PoE2 😄
All good brother. Yea this one has some very straightforward upgrades left that could probably be enough to do ubers. However, I personally don't think citadel is the hardest one, it's just the most "mechanical" one, and the map roll was kinda free. it not having any mandatory uniques does make it a pretty good league starter, probably most viable one out of the series so far. Poe2 from what I understand will work a bit different and 1 skill build likely won't exist, but that just means more build variety!
i funded around the first 8 builds myself by farming alva(i have a video), but that generally is 2-3 hours off my day. luckily 2 of my friends gave me magebloods to sell off(and a nimis) so i can continue dishing out the videos for you guys. And by now i sometimes have some of the items, like threads/watcher eyes/rings etc so in some cases the builds only might take like 10 divines to put together (i still specify that they cost more than that in the description) Thanks for the support!
I hate being poisoned too xD since you are already running Malevolence, one of my favorite solution is using a Watcher's eye with "unaffected by poison while affected by Malevolence"
yup and since it's not a very popular mod it's not gonna be too expensive, but getting it along with dot multi might cost a bit i think, still, plenty of ways to mitigate that chaos damage on the build as it's nowhere close to being minmaxxed
Seems a bit difficult to fit all those auras, especially at leaguestart. Purity of fire would be very useful too, since it works with the chieftain ascendancy as well. But how much damage would we have to sacrifice for it? It's still a very interesting idea for a build, thanks!
If you use purity of fire over say malevolence, you're losing about 20% total damage, but it would be much easier to get max res and you don't need the +2 jewel either so you can compensate somewhat over there, and of course you'd have to use pride watcher's eye which is a bit worse but still decent enough. And if you do use purity of fire, you can probably even fit everything in without annointing charisma, which would make it more league start friendly. good catch!
INFO DUMP I’m about to make a self cast phys DoT exsanguinate (regular) berserker. I’ve made self cast phys DOT exsanguinate several leagues in a row now. The zerker is new. It steals Sione’s Chieftain node for infinite warcry power, then automates warcries with eternal Apple and automates forbidden rite savage self-hits with trigger wand temple mod prefix (or battlemage’s cry exerting shield charge / leap slam) to get vengeful cry to work to boost Rage to 100+, then use ravenous passion to get 100%+ more spell damage from all the rage. I’ll use mageblood to fix the many issues that causes, but it’s doable without Mageblood - you’d use Coward’s belt for fake low life instead. At this point I just need to solve phys mitigation and choose a body armor, and potentially rework the build to use Coward’s belt to avoid needing to use Petrified Blood. I’ve POB’d for HOURS on this project and the things I’ve learned about damage scaling for Phys Dot spells: 1. More multipliers are important. RF, Pain Attunement, Malevolence, Zealotry, Pride, Rage. Inner conviction + Ralakesh is also very good. 2. +2 DOT multi wands are insane damage. Craft on fractured T1 Dot Multi with fossils to get prefixes done, as seen in this vid: th-cam.com/video/9w6xJDDUN7I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9ZcqcXqIycb6U0VY 3. Aura scaling is huge. You want 3x 50% auras + a 25% herald (maybe with Maim on it) so you need a lot of res efficiency. Abyss boots are neat way to get this and to let 21/20 Petrified Blood on 21/20 Arrogance only use 49% of your life. 4. Phys clusters 5. Light of Meaning + Unnatural Instinct at Scion area is GG. You want the skill duration there anyway. +/- Might of the Meek or a Timeless Jewel in the 3rd jewel slot. You path through here for Pain attunement anyway. 6. Pain attunement low life pushes you toward petrified blood. If using Petrified Blood and RF, you need a ton of regen and recovery. You can use Coward belt instead of being actual LL/PB but then you need to use Determ Watcher’s Eye to counter the Vuln curse. The main alternative to that WE mod is Kikazaru rings + Owl flask suffix. If petrified blood messes up forbidden rite self-damage savage hits, I will use Cowards belt instead of mageblood. I really want to use Utula’s Hunger as the body armor though, and it doesn’t work with Coward’s belt. 7. Gem level scaling is very strong. If you fossil craft a non-influenced body armor you can get +1 socketed strength gems suffix (works on Empower, too). Then, you can get Eldritch implicits for aura effect. Alternatively you can go for +1 active (warlord) and +1 support (elder) gem prefixes on an influenced base but it’s a horrid fossil craft. Finally, +2 duration and +1 all gems corrupted implicits can be very competitive on the right unique body armors: Utula’s Hunger, Cloak of Flame, Lightning Coil, Daresso’s, Skin of the Loyal, Dialla’s, etc). Technically you could double corrupt the warlord/elder for a +8 body armor.
Sounds good, got some sort of a pob i could take a peek at? All the builds i post are genreally within 20-40 div range so i can't exactly go all out on any of them, these builds are more of a baseline.
It would be very good if you generally could go more into how the "obscure" skill works itself. you explain a lot of gear and stuff, but not so much interaction I think.
this one's just more dot focused, that's about it, if there's some interesting stuff that the skill has that makes it truly stand out i try to explain a bit more, but noted, thanks
@@EldenSaullike… show the gem and talk about it, maybe? Is there a reason to use this over regular Exsanguinate? The DOT component is higher in this version but the clear is way worse. Just describe that or something in the intro.
@@Pharmacopium i wouldn't say clear is worse, just different, it can chain offscreen too if the mobs line up properly. the reason to use this over normal one is if you wanna go dot, that's about it. Regardless of reasons, the idea behind the series is to make the least used poe skills playable, wether it's worth it or not, is another question and for you to decide.

God I love off meta build! keep up the progress :D
wait this actually looks good!
yup, probably can league start this too without much trouble, i liked this one, into the memory vault it goes!
I am playing since beta and yet this "scuffed" build beats most of my chars ;D. Well done.
No worries, you'll get there! Keep cooking and improving!
I have a question how are you able to afford all these new builds you cook man, geez hats off to you, loving the series so far

this build can be improved like look into cannot be poisoned on boots
i'd rather first cap chaos but that's also an option for sure
this skill using the bow attack animation is so scuffed lmao
cut from the budget and allocated it for poe2 lul
With some bis item like 400d inv i see this build doing uber easy maybe im dreaming
Probably not even 400d if you know the fights well enough, I believe!
A few leagues ago that skill wasn't even that obscure. People played it with more or less success I think.
