really, but anyways, I finished the PO for everything, and you can see there's a leveling tree from act two, act three, act whatever, whatever, uh, all the way until whatever, right until the swap that I feel like you can make the swap probably sooner, but I put 75 because I wanted to get the rage noes right. I know the Tre is a little bit swaps, uh, stretch when you make the swap. I know there's a lot of respects, but they said you could respect with gold and K, and quantra said they're going to both be cheap. That's why I'm doing this, right? Um, I know people are going to ask this is what people are going to say because I made a lot of changes to the build, and I know the DPS looks a lot lower, all right, uh, at the level 95 tree, uh, even with a heat shiver, you only have about 5 million DPS. You're so popular where flicker guard, and I'm okay with that because I fix a lot of things, right? I fix a lot of

things with the build um I took so many extra points for rage here right. [Music] um so the one problem I had when I was like when I was playing the game yesterday right or not playing the game yesterday when I was thinking about like how the build works is number one if I go into an exarc phase right for for for people what the [__] is going to happen to my endurance charges right right how am I going to generate them and then at at the start right and then and then number two is when I go into a every single time a boss phases what the [__] is gonna happen to my rage am I going to rebuild 43 rage from the start [__] three a second or or three per half of hit like it's just like there's too many problems right wait the 95 trees oh [__] I didn't I I forgot something hold on let me let me fix this wait why is it 99 oh shoot I I I

clicked that on accident. I clicked on on that accident. It shouldn't have that [__]. My bad. There should be another Noe that's not here. I'll fix it in a bit. I'll fix it in a bit. Uh, it shouldn't have that, right? Uh, because that's like nothing. Did I misclick something else too? Uh, yeah. Um, that's the thing, one thing, right? I didn't want like a bunch of freaking so now we added [Music]. Um, okay. Just actually need to go here. Uh, Auto war cry for generals cry, right? So, what that's going to do is it's going to spam General cry at 15% Mana Reserve, right? Because I have 25 here. It's going to reserve 15 every 3 seconds, and General or every 2.9 seconds, and the rage is going to go away every three seconds, right? So, you'll have permanent rage uptime, which is 36 like your whole entire map, and whenever you do a boss, it will never drop after.

you get 36 it'll be 36 forever until you die right. Uh, I didn't like the old way of doing it. It's um like your damage might look better like I can go up to like 6 million or 7 million damage on PO but you know it's it's just it's going to be inconsistent right. I'm G to drop down and I go back up. I'm G going to drop down. I'm gonna go back up. I'm going to drop down. The second I loot I'm going to drop back down. I'm gonna like and I feel like there's like a lot of issues right. Uh, with that and I don't want to rebuild 43 AG every single time I freaking like had a boss phase or had to do anything so I I felt like um I wanted to keep it very consistent and people think this is a lot of gear this is not this is still like like a 2C whatever like a 30C thing there's a six link here with one mod.

pretty shitty armor, uh a pair of one C southbounds, a pair of dark ray vectors, uh the neck is like whatever, right, uh the ring is whatever. There's a taming here, but I don't think it's really necessary, and two two-line Jewels, so I don't think it's really that much gear to get 5 million damage at 95, and I'm happy with where it's at, especially because it's cheap, and I can always just build more, right? It's just like a starting point for me. I don't think taming is going to be very expensive. Taming is, is this right? It's two T4 items and one T3 item. Like, there's no way this thing is that expensive. Even like the highest cost T3 item at one point, um, was like Cold Iron Point, like when seismic trap was the most powerful, and it was two divines, so I don't think it's going to be that. I think people, I think people are really overestimating how many.

people are going to want to play that I think so too. Barck Spire has cost 30 chaos because chiefin want it whatever. I think it's going to be like 50-60 chaos max for a RIS bite, which I think is going to be fine, right? I don't think it's too much. Like, I have the thing, if you're spending five divs, you should be getting 1 million DPS per for one div that you do at league start. And this is easily one Divine per one div, right? And I'm okay. I'm okay with or one million DPS per one div. That's the way I look at it. I know builds are really powerful this league, and the Slammers are like even better than this ratio, I believe, but I don't have to craft a weapon, so I'm happy with that. And eventually, it'll go up to like. You eventually what we want to do is we want to like Mythic orb or whatever like a southbound or

something say make our rares a little bit better and add a cluster, and then we're going to be at 7.8 million, which I think is very, very acceptable. And then here's the thing, right? Here's the thing. Here's the thing. I feel like I'm going to be here like very, very soon, but the only thing that I'm not going to have here is this, right? Um, as soon as I get a relic crish and I get an ARS, right? Uh, I'm going to remove the frenzy charges from the end game because I just wanted to show people like what you get. So this is going to drop, right? So, uh, but this colandra touch is going to be like, I don't know, a polaric or something, and then we're going to remove the The Shield, okay? So whatever, uh, The Shield doesn't have much damage, but as you can see, like as soon as you get, uh, uh, reles, you can go to 20 million DPS, right? Uh, and craft a claw, right? Um, You

can go to 20 million, and I think that's very acceptable for what the game is. Um, you have like 65k Max hit, right, which I think is very, very acceptable for this point in the game. And then I don't even think this is really that much gear because I think the claw is relatively easy to craft. I don't really think relocation is going to be that expensive anymore. They removed Ed from the thing, so I think it's going to be. I don't even think it's going to be very expensive at all. Like who's going to use it? Most people are going to use. Most people are playing like Warden. How's the CL claw crafted? It's pretty simple, right? Because Rec combinators are in the game, you can pretty much take any flat cold on any weapon and put it on a claw now, right guys? Is it claw to claw or is it any one-hander to claw? I don't remember. It's claw to claw.

right TI Tai what up so you can use any claw base, and you can move the cold to claws, right so it's not PA to Paw. So all you need to do is move the cold damage as a thing, and you're going to spam um basically like a attack speed Essence until you get crit chance or crit multi tier one, and then you're just use two divines and lock that right, and then reforge crit once like whatever multi you get you get right, you just just leave it right because it's not worth it at the start. I put 37 there just for for shits and giggles, but you can literally do anything, and then then you just do well Bristol matron, and then you do one Veil or so. I'm pretty sure this Claw is like a 10 div claw Max TW at the start of the league, considering Veil orbs are like five divs right, and then you just because the the the unveil is pretty much guaranteed because you have a prefixed block.

right the veil orbs at the beginning of the league are like five divs. Don't don't even say there are like 20 divs at the begin of the league because they're not. Okay, last League at the start of the league they were like two dibs right. It's a maximum 10 di claw craft right from from scratch so I think it's like fine um and a pair of boots. You go to 20 million. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be at like something like this like at the end of like day three that's that's what I'm expecting. And then I have one po after that which is like the big one that I haven't really posted um because I feel like I don't know there's there's kind of like no need uh. This one has uh like frenzies on everything and it has a focus amulet right uh and a Sublime vision and forbidden jewels and then you're going to go to 50 million damage and like 167 163k Max which I

think it's very very respectable for an endgame build that clears well, right? I think it's very respectable for an endgame build that can clear, and that's what it is. That's what I want, right? That's what I want from this. Is no Mage blood, obviously. If you want to play a Mage blood build, then it is what it is. So, I mean, like, if your starter ended up with 50 million DPS with good Max hit and clears the full screen with [ __ ] whatever this PO is expensive, right? I'm gonna say this PO is expensive. It's going to be a few hundred diffs at least, right, to get all the stuff online. But I need a, I need a minmax disc a little bit more to see whatever I can squeeze out, and then I'll post it as a second Po in chat. Because this PO, like these endgame PS, I kind of want to maybe, I'll put the two endgame builds together and do the crafting notes on the notes.

because I don't want to put the crafting notes with the leveling PO for endgame gear because people will get confused and because they'll make the notes section too long, right? Um, no, no, no, that doesn't exist anymore. They removed Ed from the game, so that's what I have going right now. I feel like it's acceptable. I like it. Um, it is what it is. I wouldn't do that for Vdos. No, see, the thing with like the Nerfs are like the Nerf to Ed is like previously you couldn't just use Ed to farm Vdos all day. That was a plan, right? Right, but they kind of like remove that from the equation, and it kind of sucks, but it is what it is. I already made the PO, and it's kind of like too late to go back, right? But I feel like I think a lot of people look at the damage on that build, and they'll be like it's too low. I don't think it's too low. It might not be as

high as like Slammers and all of that stuff, but you have to remember you have a 50% action speed slow now on bosses. That's worth so much in Poe that people don't realize, right? If you ever done a boss with a 30% slow and regular, it feels like night and day, right? You're just like, Oh [ __ ] this is like uber bosses are so easy with a 30% slow compared to a nose percent slow, right? This is now a 50% slow, so no, no, no, no, it's not that's not a chill. I don't know, a lot of people, a lot of people don't think like endgame builds like they, they, they think DPS is everything, right? Where like you'll look at a lot of builds, right? And then their raage will fall off. They have like [ __ ] 17 conditionals checked, right? And it's just like, it is what it is, dude. It is what it is, um, freaking uh, death Rush on.

adrenaline checked. You know what it is, right? So it's just like a bunch of like conditional that I think I have. I have MS checked too. I didn't uncheck it, so I just entered the skills. I didn't bother unchecking MS on any of my. But it's fine. I think the builds are going to be more than fine and for what I wanted to do. Dan is making a build guide for you guys. I talked to Dan last night. He's saying he's recording a run and he's going to make a build guide for you guys because you guys keep. So whenever he gets it done, I'll post it in my or I'll post a video link to sting in my sheet and

Optimizing the Skill Tree for Better Performance

The speaker made multiple changes to the skill tree for better rage and endurance charge generation, aiming for permanent rage uptime.

They also addressed the issue of rebuilding rage during boss phases and explained the use of Auto War Cry for consistent rage maintenance.

Despite a lower DPS at level 95, the speaker is confident in the build's improvements and is prepared for questions about the significant alterations made.

Players are dissatisfied with the inconsistent damage output and are looking for a more stable build.

The current gear setup allows for 5 million damage at level 95, at a relatively low cost, providing a good starting point for the character.

The player believes that certain items are overestimated in terms of their cost and anticipates that the RIS Spite will be reasonably priced, offering a good DPS-to-cost ratio.

Improving Rare Items and Reaching 20 Million DPS

Plans to enhance rare items and add a cluster for a projected 7.

The intention to showcase the impact of acquiring specific items and removing frenzy charges in the end game, leading to a potential 20 million DPS.

The ease of crafting the claw and the expected affordability of relocations, with a focus on cold damage, is highlighted, making it a feasible goal for the game.

Efficient Claw-based Character Building in Path of Exile

You can use any claw base and transfer cold damage to claws, focusing on attack speed with Essence until you get the desired critical stats.

With a 10 divine maximum investment at the start of the league, you can craft a powerful claw.

By prioritizing frenzies, focus amulet, Sublime vision, and forbidden jewels, you can significantly increase your damage output.

Seeking Feedback on Endgame Build for Clearing

This is a request for feedback on an endgame build focused on clearing.

The build is expensive and may require some minmaxing, but the creator is satisfied with its performance.

The build has been impacted by the removal of Ed from the game, leading to some challenges, but the creator is confident in its effectiveness.

The Significance of a 50% Action Speed Slow in Poe

A 50% action speed slow on bosses is highly valuable in Path of Exile, especially for endgame builds.

Many people underestimate the importance of slow effects and focus too much on DPS in their builds.

The speaker is planning to share a build guide with a focus on the impact of action speed slow in the game.
