PoB: pobb.in/Wsu5toOmcTM_ So, I'm continue to explore different opportunities from time to time, since I think I like to play PoB more than to play PoE. Basically, the last build which was built around elemental hit-based brands was not really worth the effort. And ofcourse, this time, I decided to do something, which can be considered as an all-rounder, including ubers and t17s. Allrounder character should have all the the defence layers for comfortable gameplay, good damage, speed, good clear. My first step was to slap Asenath's. I did that, because after playing a bit of DD I realized, how broken it is to make T17s mobs to die from their own corpses. Then I had some options: to go into a brand direction, to go into a lightning phys spells direction or to go into an Exsanguinate and Reap spells direction. I tested everything and gotta say, that all the upper-mentioned spells feel really outdated for the most part. Exsang and Reap are strong, but compared to brands they are just not really fun to play. For me atleast. So, after the last build, I didn't really consider using Dissipation brand. But I decided to give it a try and I have to say, it felt really good. Even with the first iteration of the build, which had no additional AoE and no Runebinder. Then it was the matter of time before I got to the point, when I liked defences, speed and damage. I really wanted to avoid Mahuxotl, but I can't. There is no way we get enough of regen with the -50% decreased maximum life from 2 Ming's Hearts. So Mahuxotl is the only way to get good recovery in this case. Other items are pretty much mandatory. So this is the last version of the build and I'm pretty sure it is the best PF Penance Brand build on YT, which doesnt use Original Sin. I tried 5 orbs, I tried Ubers, I tried t17s, it felt really good in all these cases. A bit about the mechanics: 4 hits per second is the number we're going for. Balance of Terror makes it possible for us to apply 1 Withered stack per hit, and we get 4x2 hits per second, which translates into 16 hits in 2 seconds. This is just what we need. Then, ofcourse, if we're doing that, we need to get an additional good curse, which is, ofcourse, happens to be Enfeeble, to avoid crits. I slapped Awakened Spell Cascade into the curse setup, because we have a really good coverage and we can apply curses not even aiming, by just pressing a brand + curse, and the full screen is cursed. If a map is really hard, I use Enfeeble instead of Despair. The build pathing I find pretty efficient aswell. We're getting Unnatural Instinct (which is super important for the AoE bonus) + Perandus Pact combo, we're getting Mind over Matter (realistically it gives a bit of DoT mitigation for us) and Runebinder. I'm really pleased with the current pathing and it is really rare when I think that this is one of the most, if not the most, optimal ways to build the current char (2 Ming's Hearts Brand PF). There is a one small change which can be done and it is to swap all our Heralds (which are considered as allies) for Haste. You can get additional 20% to poison on the tree via tattoos and you will save yourself from that stupid t17 mod, which makes us recieve more dmg per ally.
Hey! I've been iterating on the build for the past 3 days and I would love to get some ideas from you on how to improve it if youd be willing to take a look :)
@@kokill4295 hey, so I checked your build and I think you have lower poison duration because u don't have temporal chains on hit. I really recommend you to swap to the adorned setup with Asenath's. These gloves are mandatory. I farmed some Unity of Souls t17s just fine today. This is another variant which can be a bit more comfortable (more hp and longer max pulse duration): pobb.in/h6IH62xbaQ8C I swapped to it for now, trying it instead of swiftbrand, I think I like it a bit better, because I have more hp that way. I really doubt that CI impossible Escape is worth it. I got that your idea is to get more skill effect duration with it, aswell as with the anoint, but 2.8k hp is really not enough i think. And these gloves.. They are ofcourse very good for bossing, but Asenath's is the whole reason why I started this build. And they carry the clear of Penance Brand very hard.
Man, that's why I like to upload videos on YT. I was so focused on other things that I just didn't notice that EO does nothing for us. You're right. Thanks!
And this is so huge btw, these free points enable us to use Swiftbrand and still get 20 activations, which is very huge. Thanks brother, I will update the build.
That's totally true. I got used to it though, u can turn off the boots, and it really depends on content. The thing is, managing flasks and other stuff is much easier when u play Brands, because u don't need to aim or anything, u just run around and wait, basically. So it frees up a bit of room to manage curses and other stuff.

huge build
Ty man
think EO only works with conversion? didnt think it affected the phys part of a spell like PB for ailment

I was trying to wrap my head around why we're taking EO as well! So glad someone asked this
What item / mechanic makes your ES go like that?
Mahuxotl's shield. I recommend you to watch this: th-cam.com/video/4KNLEQqt22E/w-d-xo.html
But you're forced to press hp flask all the time.
This build concept is good but just like u need keep press u life flask if not u will instant die 😂😂
That's totally true. I got used to it though, u can turn off the boots, and it really depends on content. The thing is, managing flasks and other stuff is much easier when u play Brands, because u don't need to aim or anything, u just run around and wait, basically.
