  1. Awsome guide ! 🙂
    Really helped alot to get the explanation for all the "variation" in the build videos you got 🙂

    Just for the sake of it
    Atlas passives – Chaos Dot build (not bane build!! :))
    What is the recommenced? From the video I gathered the following:
    Essences is always good (Life and others)
    Harvest seems to be used a lot (Reforge Chaos)
    Expedition is always good as an allrounder (get som fossils for wand craft for example + other stuff)
    Yes I know , the general idea is "take what you like". And sure that is true, but i just wanted a breakdown of crafts and currency for said crafts 🙂

  2. I've been league starting this since 3.17 I will definetly continue doing so. The smooth feeling of this build is just wonderful, the fact you can just blow up entire packs as soon as you get to maps and then DoT and kite anything that survives really makes for efficient league starter. 🙂

  3. I've played this for 3 leagues and love u for making this. Suits me so well and makes me wanna grind to get the best gear possible. Love the wand shield setup and recently bought the mtx as well. Thank u for yet another fun league start ❤️

  4. If only I knew how to craft. Shit has gotten so confusing for the average player. Build looks really cool, but I would have to find all of those items on trade, which is likely impossible/overpriced.

  5. Love the build so far. Have you tested the new jewel „The Balance of Terror“? I wonder if it would work with Bane which would be really nice but I’m not sure if it would work in kinda new to Bane.

  6. i've been playing this build since middle of last week after my first league starter turned out to be bait.. lvl 93 and loving it. I'm having much worse RNG luck than you did with harvest and essence crafting gear though. probably 10k yellow harvest juice into a shield and have not once landed on both spell damage and +1 chaos gems together and even when I hit spell damage alone its like a terrible low tier roll

  8. I was waiting for this! Thank you so much, it has been an absolute blast.. I'm waiting to see some bossing action because I'm struggling with bosses, however mapping has been a breeze and so much fun! Thanks as always.

  9. Regarding Frostblinking out of mob packs: the skill does AoE hit around you both where you start the skill and where you move to. If there are enemies around you before using it and are hit, then cooldown is still decreased as they were hit.

  10. Thanks for this build and the videos you got me into POE because I couldnt decide what to play. Following everything you say and its super fun to play man❤

  11. Is builders giving me the best league start I’ve ever had besides two league ago when I did righteous fire. I’ve never been able to get in a Ford 26 links as fast as I did. I wasn’t even into yellow Maps when I got my first four div drop. Now I just need to get my last ascendancy and I can roll with the three curses and call it good

  12. Well your excitement for this build got me to try it, but I'm a little confused why the skill tree goes into the four "dual wield cast speed" skills around caster mastery when the weapon is a staff? Everything I can find is that 2 hand is not dual wield?

  13. Using this during the campaign and think I might've misunderstood how it all works. The enemies which i apply bane to take damage over time, the hexes such as dispair/punishment are spread via Hex Bloom, but the damage over time from bane doesn't seem to spread? Is this correct? I have the first ascendency and have specced into profane bloom so far, Level 39.

  14. Hi!

    Started with your build (it's really comfortable) and easy moved to t16, but!

    Last variation with hexbloom (I used your pob with minimal changes: big bane radius (max radius) + 3 hexes + empower + hexbloom + profane bloom) kills any game instance I tried when farming blight or blight encounters. 40+ mobs affected by this in the same moment gives 5 second lag, and then disconnect and your map instance lost when you'r back. Works for any server. Tried on several PC's with top configurations and different providers, so it's not a local problem.

    I replaced hexbloom with controlled destruction and everything's fine. JFYI.

    Also, I see that your POB config gives not enough mana to use 3*50% auras and cast something in the same time even with E 4lvl gem. So it looks like enlighten 4 is extremely expensive (now its' near 9divs) just to have a bit more comfort with mana with the same auras. (grace, determ/malevolence, vitality, banner).

  15. Love the build. What auras should I run for Hardcore? Is it worth dropping Malevolence for Determination? I was planning on doing the standard Determ/Grace/Defiance banner but I'm worried my damage will be atrocious until I can get some insanely strong (aka lucky) gear.

  16. I've been following this build so long – the only reason im not rerolling this right now is that I will finally leaguestart it next league. Had to have a cd of chaos dot for once
