CORRECTION: The helmet craft starting at 2:27 requires an open PREFIX (NOT SUFFIX)! Apologies for the mix-up!

Your channel is gunna get huge man, keep making content.

[FukurouYGR]

I said it once and I'll say it again: you're an absolute chad xD
I think you do something very precious imo; you present powerful skills/interactions to players in a very friendly, concise and affordable way, so they can decide to keep going or keep it budgety.
I say that because while PoE content creators like to emphasize how their build has "endless scaling" or "many options to choose from", you present builds that *WILL* work, and you show it working on 1 Div, and that's that. It feels so good and safe following a exact recipe with a certain outcome in the middle of all the chaos that is PoE. You might have seen my comment on your Ice Shot video, and I'm not lying when I say that you saved the league for me.
Keep it up the giga content bro, that's awesome. I'm excited to see your channel growing!

i wasted all my currency to get a 600% bow and got completely stuck on my build, since im a new player i figured this totem sht would do so much content but idk what i did to my guy (i tried copying ziz's video) that i basically gave up at this point after getting to yellow maps and just dying so much i cant level up lol. i used to think ARPGs are such a braindead easy genre of just spam clicking but i see how much you have to know now to play these. big respect and cool vid

[mercurygalaxii]

i use bow totem build to clear all uber boss, it’s my first time out of any league the past decade

[jerrioboi]

Wow this is entirely a different explode totem build. Most I found focused on having ES recharge quickly. I might try this out, thanks for this!!

I spent around 40Div to my Pathfinder Toxic eain but not yet finish the Maven formed.. your job is very impressive

[nunt]

First time watching your content, and that was an insta-subscribe! Especially I want to say thank you for the breakdown of the phys as ele conversion for each gear piece. I am on SSF and wasn't sure what it would do when I do not have Taste of Hate yet.

[maeine]

[evilgenius]

Can you please do a pathfinder spark build

[dmoney]

Should fix the helmet craft portion. You need an empty prefix and not a suffix for the benchcraft mod. Found out a little too late!

[batuhanseferoglu]

Another great build. I really can't believe how you can make such cheap and effective builds. Thank you. I have 2 questions. For the Ice Shot and Totem builds.

1- Which gem-links do you recommend with sniper mark for rare helmet in Ice Shot build?

2- If I want to switch to bow in trap/totem build, what should be the gem-links in weapon and boot?

Since I started the game this season, I couldn't find out which gems I should use effectively and my own experiments didn't give the results I wanted. Can you please help me?

Thanks again for this great content and build.

I'm really loving this so far, I was very happy with what power I had just coming online with all the basic gear for cheap.

I've decided to keep pushing the build further, I rolled temporal chains effect on helmet and then I started by getting a few corrupted uniques so i now have a +2 +5 aura boots, +2 aura in malevolence, super strong poison claw. I'm looking to replace icefang using herald of agony devergent for the missing poison chance with a circle of nostalgia for heralds rolled well, 5L chest with +2 aura corrupt enlighten 3 to fit in dread banner for less accuracy defense aura.

I'd like to keep one handed shield and get a GGG redblade gladius 400 or 600% totem node but they are all pretty pricey and rare, I got really lucky with max life, exposure immunity and faster debuff xp nodes on my dawnbreaker. Bow is on option to swap too and I might but I like the defenses now. Also eyeballing a replica soul tether with grace effect corrupt.

Wondering if I could fit divine flesh in? i'm already going to be 100+ chaos res

Looks amazing, another solid and well considered uber-budget meta build! Quick question: Obviously there is no easy way to maintain full phys-ele mitigation if we swap in a bow & quiver.... is it even worth trying or even using Lightning coil, at that point? Cheers

[FukurouYGR]

Question about upgrading the build (just a bit):
if I were to 6-link my Lightning Coil eventually, would a 6L setup with +Charged Traps + Multiple Totems be more damage than the +5 level boots?
Then we maybe could use boots like Torchoak Step which reads "(30-50)% increased Totem Life".

All that supposing that we can sustain the 6L mana cost with the current setup 🤔

[iulianburlacu]

Awesome content! Im playing your frost shot dead eye and its great. But id like to invest in the build a bit, any ideea where to start in order to get even more damage out of it?

[dotlum]

What Major/Minor pantheon do you recommend running for this build?

So I think I’ve fried my capability to post comments due to trying to put the pob in them.
My 80-100 div estimation was off back then it was at 117 div.
Since then I’ve changed a couple of pieces moved away from the double curse setup into single curse and running an explode cluster.
I’ve changed plenty of other things as well new bow (2 actually) currently I’m still running slavedrivers but at 100 I’ll replace them and move into a 0 Mana cost setup and drop my max res from 85 to 82
If I had to guess how much the build is worth atm it’s around 200-220 div coming from the bow that made a jump by roughly 30 div more in cost.
A double phys taken as elemental and vitality in hit jewel (only 2 in league as far as I know off) and a auls uprising with malevolence to run 6 auras will move malevolence to divine blessing tho once I’m 100 the build went from 95-99.5 purely in simu I’ve died 3 times tho one from not paying attention and getting less recovery from flask debuff on me and 2 from dcs sad dab.
If the interest is still there I’ll create a full pob with my double curse version back then the slave drivers version I’m running atm and a 0 mana cost setup (that’s from Steelmage I’ve just copied it)
And send it to you via discord or other ways.

Edit: the explosion in price comes from the watchers eye ive gotten it for 20div and thats imo really really underpriced exspecually since there were only 2 in league both sold within 30min of me buying one and there are 5 in standard and the recently listed ones (5 n 2 months ago) are 50 div a price id value it as well.
I currently own 2 bows with the same mod groups both totem notes 40inc global dmg and either lethe shade or magebane they bases are at least 35 closer to 45-50 for magebane and 50 (only 1 listed) for lethe shade and u have to add at least 5 div if not more for a finished craft on top of that.
if i have to estimate the total "cost" of all the gear i own for the build for all various setups id say it is around 300-350 div total.
i happylie invest this much into the build since it is by far the strongest build ive ever played since ive started in 3.0 dmg wise only the selfcurse boneshatter from scourge comes close that build was basically immortal as well but got oneshot from crits something this build doesnt care about and u dont have to wait 45sec each zone to reset the shroud timer as well so trading while doing simu is just easy af.
