Ran EQ Jugg last season as my new starter build, and it felt good enough to get myself off my feet to setup other better builds. EQ/Sunder/Cyclone as Slayer/Gladiator/Jugg/Berserker. Checking any combination of these will most likely lead you to guides, these builds pretty much all look similar. Gladiator gets block/spellblock, Slayer gets OP overleech, Jugg gets tanky (debatable if he's tankier than a Slayer) and Berserker squeezes out a bit more damage. Bonusinfo in case anyone cares: I tested out Vaal Cyclone in Beta and jesus christ, no FPS drops. Also Cyclone feels absolutely godlike with the new pathfinding. Pretty sure I'll end up playing a Cyclone Slayer this league at some point. I'm actually really tempted to say fuck RF and just do that as my first char. Hnggggg last minute anxiety. | ||

Belt of the deciever is probably not worth running as you wont be close enough to apply it most of the time, you have barely any regen and no leech so its all health pots. The gear you have on it currently is also pretty damn good, so it would be much weaker as a start. BR totems sound pretty memey but it just seems really weak, you can do like 3x the damage without them, have more life, and leech. I don't mind playing a bit slower. Totems only need to fire once to kill packs. I can get the "cannot be stunned" jewel if I need to. Yea I was thinking about putting a rare belt but I wanted to see the damage with this one. How close do you need to be anyways? I need to stay close for that inquisitor ability anyways that makes enemies receive more elemental damage. Yes gear is something I would try to buy for red maps and by lvl 90. I don't need 300k dps per totem before high red maps. Why does it seem weak? I was watching a streamer(Nugi) put together a raider/slayer or something with similar setup but without totems. He did 600k damage with better gear, this ones does same damage but needs two totems out. OK I got no leech but only boss fights need you to dish out so much damage and you don't need to run up to bosses, your totems will. | ||

Nah, is glorious starter of league and I can get meme value out of being a Jugg while doing more damage than all the RF Berserkers that will be running around. Also I'm Cycloning with that build too! I'll just play that skill all day, it feels so great on beta. | ||

Maybe a totem build but what would you guys recommend? For general mapping something like would be interesting. If you aim to be a (map) boss killer, you probably need to play Ancestral Warchief Totem builds but I don't like them very much aside from that. | ||

Something like: Cyclone+CoH+Flammability+Inc Crit+additional Accuracy (and some not fire damage on hit to apply EE debuff to enemies)? You get to curse them, apply EE and EO all at once :D And you are immune to Stun while cycloning. Could also work well with new Charged Dash that does Lightning damage automatically. | ||

Orb of Storms + CoH + Flammability + Inc Crit did both EE and EO for me. Moving with Shield Charge + Fortify + Faster Attacks + Bloodmagic. | ||

Cyclone, Fort, LgoH, Crit. If I randomly fivelink a belly or something I'd throw in Accuracy but the end goal is Kaom's anyway. Curse gets done via Witchfire if I want something offensive or cwdt enfeeble if I want something defensive.

Archangel your setup would mean he has to 5L his Cyclone, so he can't 5L RF (which would be good now; or I'm wrongly remembering that there is a new support gem for it now). Or you use Kaom and can't do it anyway. Orb of Storms + CoH + Flammability + Inc Crit did both EE and EO for me. Moving with Shield Charge + Fortify + Faster Attacks + Bloodmagic. RF goes into Delirium gloves for that sweet 30% more multi. Gonna end up expensive to craft decent ones in the long run, don't think I'll go deep into those quickly, should work well enough without them. Shaper's Seed is the only unique I'm a bit worried about that I'll have to fight people for. | ||

In addition, you can toss some CwDT on a 4-link and grab Cloaked in Savagery so you never die to anything bar 1-shots. Granted, due to Dark Pact self damage and 10% extra dmg a berserker takes, you probably need to be hit for 8.5-9k straight damage to die. This morning the gem information was datamined and even with that version I can still get about 130k dps on Dark Pact. How big is the AoE of it though? I expect it to be similar small like Blade Vortex. Also this might be interesting for Archangel: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/6rj8ku/30_psa_emberwake_changes_updated_in_the_patch/ -> 300 ignites with Emberwake possible again. | ||

Your DPS is so big you leech more than your full life with just 3% life leech. My version had over 1 mil damage. | ||

Lets see how final version looks, but I am getting fed up with their ignite changes. I am putting Ignite on hold for now. If someone comes up with a cool ignite build during Harbringer and I can afford it, I might make a future character. | ||

Inquisitor was cool but lots of fiddling around trying to keep all charges up, using diamond flask and stuff. So I made a bit simpler but equally good Berserker version. PoB link: https://pastebin.com/vctuc8sE Over 8000 ehp, 350 000 dps per totem to map bosses (with Vaal Haste active, but not Vaal LT active) while they are near totems. I can replace Point Blank gem with something else for map farming if I don't feel like placing all totems near packs. I got gem slots empty, kind of ran out of idea what to put there so put self cast Scorching Ray for additional debuff :D. Probably should put CwDt+ Enfeeble or something. Cool thing about this is that Berserker's Rite of Ruin gives a permanent 25% attack speed to totems since you never kill anyone, only your totems do. I am seriously considering this as my starter build instead of Mirror/Blink arrow Necro. I can run any kind of fire totems with this build until I get Chin Sol. Any suggestions? | ||

The res is extremely nice for lvling and in general since it's harder to cap res without a shield or quiver. Also since many nerfs crit multi source is a scarcity now so getting 20% from Alira sounds pretty enticing. But 2 skill points are 2 skill points though, so I'm not sure at all. | ||
