Hey guys! Here's another 5 builds to get inspired by! All credit goes to the authors! Visit us on Discord.gg/Lifting and if you liked the video subscribe to this channel to see next weeks build showcase =) Don't despair, there is only now 2 days until WEEKEND!
I like your picks, a good suite of builds with picks for most temperaments :) Playing around with hierophant shockwave totem scaling the phys and converting to ele with penetration atm.. just getting to know that nice new staff, the Disintegrator since i want to play around with it on an Occultist or Elementalist for a golem build (that added phys to spells.. hot diggity!) :>
I was considering 2 of these builds already... well now they just got more expensive XD Good choices regardless, I always tell new players to check out your build guides and suggestions, this is yet another perfect video to throw their way.
Poets Pen with Firestorn and Bladefall was really good too in 3.1! I used 4 Poets in 3.1 Unearth + VD for Clearing and Firestorm + Bladefall for Singletargets. ^^
i just started the league a few days ago. i always start out with a ngamahu raider build. by the time i leveled up, ngamahu's flame was only 2 chaos. extremely cheap and easy. you can easily get a 6L chest by buying Emperor of Purity cards (easy to get required colours of RRRR,BB) and you only need to 6S the axe for essentially another 6L. i always run a 4L cyclone for clear. cyclone, faster attacks, melee phys dmg, fortify. end game you can put this in an essence of insanity crafted gloves (hopefully with atk spd). the ^L chest is reserved for molten strike, multistrike, ancestral call (single target swap melee phys), ele dmg, ele focus, conc effect. i run herald of ash and grace with a jade flask to be an evasion tank. with jade flask up and raider ascendancy (avatar of the chase) you'll end up with 85ish% evasion, on top of dodge and phys reductions etc. end game with belly of the beast you can obtain 6,500-6,800 life fairly easily. all gear outside of the axe is completely flexible. extremely cheap and powerful.
This league was just boring. Funny how much people talked shit about Abyss league, but at least people stayed around to play that league. This league is already dead.
Skelemancer Summoner is insanely strong after the buff. I did it as a starter and finished all Deadly Encounters challenges during the first week with about 50c worth of gear (not including a 6link Queens Escape which I linked myself). I'm currently leveling a GC miner to see for myself how it compares in terms of damage.
I played the windz gc miner in abyss and oh boy wasn't that a gr8 build! I recomend it for every1 that hasn't gotten themselves into real endgame stuff b4 (I did my first ever uber az, shaper, all guardians and all breachlords with it)
I used to run quad dark pact totems before with heirophant, with skeletons and Vaal Skeletons it would nuke bosses quickly and clear fast too. With these changes to that ascendancy it does crazy high amounts of dmg. Although when you try the build it looks like it does low dmg but you have to consider that the dmg is multiplied by how much health ur totems have and skeletons have. It only takes into account a single totem with no buffs or add ons
I've been playing the gc heirophant. Got to 86 last night and it's been smooth sailing so far. Getting used to slamming a flask to purge curses has taken a little getting used to.
Zotix this is what ive been using as a bassis changeing a few things here and there to better suit me odealo.com/articles/quad-dark-pact-totem-hierophant-templar-odealos-crafty-guide
My third league, Trying out an evasion pathfinder that uses wands. Enjoying it a lot. Got my first handful of exalts and hoping to run uber lab soon with pseudo-permanent +220% movement speed.
great build it gave me some option to try for my next character and i'm playing for the first time in 5 year a summoner build solar guard one and having fun but also a lot of question :p
Hey lifting! i love toten builds! wich one would you recomend as a starter for a normal player? your frostbolt totem or this glacial cascade? Thank you very much!!! OBS: for a HC gameplay
I didn't started yet, im burned out... maybe this video will help me to return... Recently i started playing Titan Quest, i've never finished this game, i have so much fun with it, i'll try to finish it and maybe then i will return to PoE, or i will return to World Of Tanks... time will tell. Thanks for the video Lifting, i always like to check out your stuff
Keicam it doesn't even feel like a league. The recipes are pretty much worthless except for a small handfull. Red monsters are very rare and not rewarding. Currency drops are very low due to the stupid amounts of nets dropping. Its basically standard mode. Just a not rewarding or fun in any way.
The league is meh, it feels like dumpster standard, I managed to play league for less than a week, and already hated it, then tried league SSF, hated it, it all felt like dumpster standard, so I moved to dumpster standard. On a side note, are you playing Titan Quest: Ragnarok expansion..? I'm interested in it, when I played Grim Dawn, people told me it's harder than it was before, is it true? Also, is expansion worth playing through?
Hey liftingnerdbro can you do a video guide on the challenges for bestiary league? specialy the beastcrafting is very confusing, on what recipie to use to fulfill the challenge for example i crafted coral ring with life with the "max life" recipie. after 6 tries i finaly got a coral ring and that didnt count. then i used the rare ring recipie and got a coralring with life and that counted. then i tried the collossal life flask thing, but i dont understand this challenge. i took a collossal flask and crafted the required affix on it but it didnt count (i suppose because it requires a "magic" collossal life flask of the xxx but yeah... i just gave up on that for now
you forgot to include our lord and saviour mathil and hes started doule strike pogg champiop build that has crazy dps after you switch to bf/reave build costs nothing i striped character of all of its gear leaving only main weapon stat stick and 5L setup for bf/reave and dps was still around 1mil thats shaper dps.
The Poet's pen build looks very fun. My league starter is a Death's Oath Ci Occultist and I am thoroughly enjoying it so far. Going to save up and buy myself some pens i guess?
weki meki i started saving jewelers as soon as i could and got lucky with the vorici crafts then i made 3 more chest pieces selling them for 4 ex each. Was easy getting into, its basically a walking simulator, leveled with ED Contagion which was a breeze tbh.
I need help with autobomber. Cutedog version if theres a written guide on it. Plus the prismatic jewel is ridiculous... 50ex almost as pricy as HH's. Need an alternative cheap jewel!
I did a Poet's Pen VD Inquisitor in Abyss, and I swapped to Detonate Dead for Atziri. I found the clone phase literally impossible due to the exact problem you mentioned. With Bestiary crafting you can probably find a lvl21 DD really cheap.
pretty sure the fifth build is super expensive tho. the jewels needed are quite rough. even more so than poet's pen as u need multiple jewels that are rather expensive such. and one of the jewels is sort of needed as the golems are such potatoes as theyre not aggresive without it. atleast thats what i remember from playing a golemmancer, nonetheless its a good build
My build is a cheiftain onigoroshi MS.. L84 now and it cost me like less than 10ex for it... 85k damage atm, immune to everything, 4.5k health, elem resistance capped, chaos resistance 41%
Then go make the softcore non-endgame viable build, 99% of people don't want to waste time with a build that won't be able to properly play all game content.
Has anyone tried that Glacial Cascade totem build? I was debating between that and liftings frostbolt totem build. Ultimately I went with frostbolt, but glacial cascade felt really good while leveling. Still trying to decide if I want to stick with frostbolt or respec into glacial cascade. I guess I could stick with the skill tree lifting made but the GC tree for that build goes more into witch/shadow which I assume will be more damage then marauder side.
Mortifix I use frostbolt for clear and gemswap in GC for bosses. The skilltrees are practically same, the links are the same (optimal swap in maybe a support or two but I'm lazy so I only do FB/GC) only thing is GC doesn't benefit from projectile nodes and frostbolt doesn't from AoE nodes or physical damage nodes. That's not that big an issue/damage loss since you don't spec too much into them anyway, more just generic crit or spell/cold damage.
Just to add to the discussion, I have been using Lifting's Frostbolt totem build too this league. However, for single target or tightly spaced boss arenas, I switch to Freezing pulse instead of GC (primarily because they are projectile based and I cast Projectile Weakness curse). I also swap out the Frostbolt threshold jewels for the Freezing pulse threshold jewels (First Snow). Seems to do the trick for me. Except that those freezing pulses might induce an epileptic seizure lol.
I actually started with Lifting's Frostbolt Totem build and the map clear was insanely good, but the Boss kill speed just wasn't doing it for me. Funnily enough, I swapped to Thien's Glacial Cascade Totems a couple days ago and I'm so happy I did. The Map clear is slightly slower, but not by a great deal. The damage on bosses though.. miles better. Using pretty much the same gear, Glacial Cascade Totems were anywhere between 3x to 4x more damage for each totem depending on positioning.
I would very much like to show off my Champion Max Block Immortal build, It doesn't do damage but in group play as a taunt/buff tank it is amazing i have cleared shaper with full group along with uber atziri also full group. What Makes the build so wonderful Is knowing that your allies will never be hit by nearly anything, But also being able to just stand there and Regen/Leech Tonight the group i been running with are going to attempt uber elder. So i am hoping that i will be just like a MMO tank as it were yet again and tank it all.
All 5 builds were possible before 3.2, 2 feature same skill, SR WI is just ResidentSleeper - it doesn't have nor damage, nor clear, nor it's budget-friendly, it's not even FPS friendly, Pretty unimaginitive this time around. :/
I've seen a few of your vids on chars. Honestly. It should be your Idea of a build. You know plenty. Watching you talk about other peoples builds is cool because you give them cred. But honestly from what you know and learned. You should be posting vids on YOUR builds. People would jump on your channel more. Also you can simplify it for the newer players instead of having them jump to links that overwhelm.
League fucked me up, I have literally gave out all my stuff and currency in global chat, then played beast SSF for 2 days, stopped, and moved to Standard. I really dislike this league, and it's the very first league that I just can't force myself to play through...good thing is, it all works in dumpster standard as well

LiftingNerdBro Lifting plz show the endgame for ur molten berserker!!!
Working on it! :)

Great production quality.
What the heck? A "5 x builds" guide from Lifting that only has 5 builds in it? Wtf is this?
ok, I was so sure there would in fact be at least 7 builds :D gj
Poets Pen with Firestorn and Bladefall was really good too in 3.1!
I used 4 Poets in 3.1 Unearth + VD for Clearing and Firestorm + Bladefall for Singletargets. ^^

Great job Kelvynn !
@2:43 "...and it looks like Kelvin has managed to make it strong for 3 point CHOO...CHOO".
Mika's builds are amazing!
Whispering Ice is legit strong and can be a decent league starter.
1 week? i feel already like a month old league LUL
towns are empty like a 2 month league.. :(
This league was just boring. Funny how much people talked shit about Abyss league, but at least people stayed around to play that league. This league is already dead.
Kind of silly to say it’s dead like you know what everyone is doing. People are still playing this league
Look at Steam numbers. There's roughly about half the amount playing this league than we had playing Abyss after a week. That's just factual numbers.
LordDivine1 I did look at steamcharts and it's about the same.
Tried Mika's golemancer in harbs - great build and guide as well.
Fedt at se en dansker som er god til poe :D
WacksGaming ja Det er Det!
Ja, jeg er også glad for denne kanal.

Zotix ive been running a quad dark pact totem the damage is insane
Ben Ambrose can you link a build so I can take a look
Zotix this is what ive been using as a bassis changeing a few things here and there to better suit me
odealo.com/articles/quad-dark-pact-totem-hierophant-templar-odealos-crafty-guide
My third league, Trying out an evasion pathfinder that uses wands. Enjoying it a lot. Got my first handful of exalts and hoping to run uber lab soon with pseudo-permanent +220% movement speed.
I feel like Something's missing.. where the featured Lifting builds?! woA!
I'm using your frostbolt totem build for early game then gonna try to go to flameblast totem later.
great build it gave me some option to try for my next character and i'm playing for the first time in 5 year a summoner build solar guard one and having fun but also a lot of question :p
Hey lifting! i love toten builds! wich one would you recomend as a starter for a normal player? your frostbolt totem or this glacial cascade? Thank you very much!!! OBS: for a HC gameplay
I did the ahn might one will also play it as my first char in the new league
Used windz's miner as a starter, leveling was ok. Cwdt detonate mines really brought out the full potential
If you need CWDT detonate it sounds like you aren't responding fast enough to what is going on.
Hay a quick question is there a trapper build this season that is strong and works well ? :)
I'm playing Volatile Dead Poet's Pen Templar (life based) . Very op.
I didn't started yet, im burned out... maybe this video will help me to return... Recently i started playing Titan Quest, i've never finished this game, i have so much fun with it, i'll try to finish it and maybe then i will return to PoE, or i will return to World Of Tanks... time will tell.
Thanks for the video Lifting, i always like to check out your stuff
Keicam no dont waste your time thus league is trash.
This*
why do you think so?
Keicam it doesn't even feel like a league. The recipes are pretty much worthless except for a small handfull. Red monsters are very rare and not rewarding. Currency drops are very low due to the stupid amounts of nets dropping. Its basically standard mode. Just a not rewarding or fun in any way.

On a side note, are you playing Titan Quest: Ragnarok expansion..? I'm interested in it, when I played Grim Dawn, people told me it's harder than it was before, is it true? Also, is expansion worth playing through?
Finally some love for miners!
Hey liftingnerdbro
can you do a video guide on the challenges for bestiary league?
specialy the beastcrafting is very confusing, on what recipie to use to fulfill the challenge
for example i crafted coral ring with life with the "max life" recipie. after 6 tries i finaly got a coral ring and that didnt count.
then i used the rare ring recipie and got a coralring with life and that counted.
then i tried the collossal life flask thing, but i dont understand this challenge.
i took a collossal flask and crafted the required affix on it but it didnt count (i suppose because it requires a "magic" collossal life flask of the xxx but yeah... i just gave up on that for now
What do you think about Natt Burning Spectres?
It's great! I have featured it in one of my earlier videos actually =)
LiftingNerdBro ok i'll check it ^_^ thanks
you forgot to include our lord and saviour mathil and hes started doule strike pogg champiop build that has crazy dps after you switch to bf/reave build costs nothing i striped character of all of its gear leaving only main weapon stat stick and 5L setup for bf/reave and dps was still around 1mil thats shaper dps.
Nice video men gj
I'm surprised there is no gc trickster or any kind, harness the void is still a very potent node, even after the pre-release nerf
It may simply have passed me by, but I couldn't find a proper guide for it. If I do I might include it in a future video =)
What is the music playing around 1:02?
The Poet's pen build looks very fun. My league starter is a Death's Oath Ci Occultist and I am thoroughly enjoying it so far. Going to save up and buy myself some pens i guess?
is it easy to get into? i was trying to find a non death oath occultists build but seems like it's hard to color supposedly? hepl
weki meki i started saving jewelers as soon as i could and got lucky with the vorici crafts then i made 3 more chest pieces selling them for 4 ex each. Was easy getting into, its basically a walking simulator, leveled with ED Contagion which was a breeze tbh.
Is this build dead in 3.17?
I admire goldfishes of their attention span, i could never make it that long
I need help with autobomber. Cutedog version if theres a written guide on it. Plus the prismatic jewel is ridiculous... 50ex almost as pricy as HH's. Need an alternative cheap jewel!
How to kill Atziri as a poet's pen build? The balls tend to go everywhere and probably hit the reflection clone.
I did a Poet's Pen VD Inquisitor in Abyss, and I swapped to Detonate Dead for Atziri. I found the clone phase literally impossible due to the exact problem you mentioned. With Bestiary crafting you can probably find a lvl21 DD really cheap.
pretty sure the fifth build is super expensive tho. the jewels needed are quite rough. even more so than poet's pen as u need multiple jewels that are rather expensive such. and one of the jewels is sort of needed as the golems are such potatoes as theyre not aggresive without it. atleast thats what i remember from playing a golemmancer, nonetheless its a good build
but eye of chayula is 1 alch?
come on dude why is there no frostbolt ...
im playing as Elemental Claw Inquisitor, its awesome build but to archiev high dps isnnt budget frendly at all
My build is a cheiftain onigoroshi MS.. L84 now and it cost me like less than 10ex for it... 85k damage atm, immune to everything, 4.5k health, elem resistance capped, chaos resistance 41%
PS.. 7 endurance charges and can have endurance charge in boss fights even w/o killing monsters ☺
Would be nice to see hipster ultra weird bizzare builds that are only softcore viable if you know what i mean ;)
Then go make the softcore non-endgame viable build, 99% of people don't want to waste time with a build that won't be able to properly play all game content.
Nice

So 5 glacial cascade builds...
what's a miner build?
Uses mines
ShortyMcBlueHair ah thanks, didn’t even know the game had that lol
THICC JUGG BOR.. Ahh the profittsss.
I would very much like to show off my Champion Max Block Immortal build, It doesn't do damage but in group play as a taunt/buff tank it is amazing i have cleared shaper with full group along with uber atziri also full group.

So i am hoping that i will be just like a MMO tank as it were yet again and tank it all.
If you can make a video showing off some gameplay and procure a guide. I will take a look! I can't promise I will feature it though =)
easily the most confusing league ever, I like it but fuck its very ambiguous!
poets pen is the most uncreative build
just hold frenzy and put any spells in the wands.
shit would probably even work with a duelist
Bestiary? More like Worstiary, amirite??
No.... no you're not
you're*
Gwyndolin thank you
English is hard u know .-.

SHaper kill video footage...he drops the gloves. SO funny. Rather typical too. Fuck this game...

Bratyha Mandarin What do u mean ? What went wrong ?

Bratyha Mandarin derp yup
Bratyha Mandarin what is your definition of a dead league? 100~k people are playing it daily.

I TAKE OFFENCE
There is JUGG builds??!!! LUL
