PoE 3.25 Lightning Strike Slayer: Endgame Build and Performance

The Lightning Strike lead starter build excels in most game content, except Ubers, where melee combat proves inefficient and challenging.

### Final Update on Lightning Strike Lead Starter Build
The player has transitioned the Lightning Strike lead starter build into a Slayer, capable of handling most game content except for Ubers. The build has been successful in completing deathless wave 15 simulacrums and T17 maps, but has struggled with the Uber boss due to the challenges of melee combat. The character is designed to be well-rounded and able to withstand a variety of challenges, with the ability to face tank most enemies in the simulacrum. The build is noted to be relatively inexpensive to put together but has downsides such as the difficulty of obtaining accuracy and the discomfort of running certain map mods.

### Deliberating Potential Upgrades for My Character Build
Considering using a level five awakened Ellie gem to circumvent ell reflect and linking brutality to leap slam and smite for immunity. The decision to not go for a crit build was based on having most of the gear for the current setup and concerns about lacking defenses. Planning future upgrades including leveling awakened gems, increasing character level, and adding cluster Jewels. The character build is almost complete, with a focus on gear crafting, fortify uptime, and specific affixes, while still considering potential improvements.

### Crafting Process for Equipment in "Path of Exile"
The player describes the process of crafting their own weapon using a fractured attack speed Eternal sword and deafening Essences of Wrath. They also explain the crafting of their shield, boots, and gloves using different methods and essences to get the desired stats. The player also discusses the use of flasks and skill links in their equipment setup, highlighting the addition of an Enlighten gem.

### Adjusting Skill Gems and Gear for Increased Damage
The main skill gems remain the same, with a consideration for adding Returning Projectiles for potentially better clear speed. The use of Faster Attacks and Melee Stun in the helmet may be replaced with Brutality for reflect immunity. Precision is currently linked to Arrogance in the shield due to mana constraints, but this may change with a mana reservation Mastery. Grassing Vines in t7s and the use of tinctures for increased damage are also highlighted. The possibility of using a tincture with 115% ell for more damage is being explored, with the potential to significantly boost DPS.

### Effects of Tinctures on Melee Damage and Build Adjustments in Path of Exile
Using a tincture can significantly increase damage output for a short period, especially effective for single targets or bosses. The build has been adjusted to focus on accuracy, armor, and attack speed, dropping some fortification nodes. A Watcher's Eye jewel provides both offensive and defensive benefits, although the player may have overpaid for it.

### Summary of Slayer Build Experience in Path of Exile
The Slayer build provides high damage, attack speed, and leeching, making it feel powerful and tanky, while also offering good resistance and armor. The build has made it easy to navigate through content and maps, with the only difficulty being certain boss mods. The player is unsure about the outcome of a t17 run due to challenging mods, but is confident in the build's defenses.

### Dealing with Challenging Monster Life in T-17 Maps
Struggling with the high monster life in T-17 maps and unable to make changes to the map device. The burning ground mod and exploding DD monsters are causing frustration and making the boss fight difficult. The excessive life and aggro range of the monsters are making the map challenging and less enjoyable to play.

### Struggling with a Difficult Boss Fight in the Game
The player is having trouble dealing damage and staying alive during the boss fight, expressing frustration with the mechanics. The high monster life and slowing effects are making the fight particularly challenging. The player ultimately decides to give up on the fight and expresses a dislike for the game's difficult map mods.
