Starterbuilds - Thoughts / Slayer (really Budget Variants)

Hello Community,

at the Moment i`m thinking about what is the Build for me to start in Legion-League. I was always a Meleeplayer in every League so i`m very excited about the new Patch!

Last League i was pretty sure to play Cyclone again and i'm extremly happy about the Cyclonechanges, that i think will provide be much more smooth to spinning. Sadly Starforge will be crazy expensive now with a Meleepatch, massive Sword Buff and more. So Starforge, Phys Cyclone is out for me as i`m a very casual Gamer =)

I (not just my own that are well known an tested older Builds with a 3.7 adaption) tried to produce 3 Builds and would be thankful if someone with more Knowledge could check-up the Builds and tell me if i forgot something or can give some Advice to "advance" it.

First Point is, alle Builds should be work as Starterbuilds and work well with low or avarage Currency, but still should be increaseable to a useful Lategame (not the best but useful).
All Builds should be played with the Slayer Ascendency-Class (maybe Champion or Gladiator could work eather way), why? I think the 20% Cullingnode is one of the strongest Ascendencynode of all Class. The Overleech and the Leechbenefits like not beeing stunned and cant bleed are very versatile too. "...In my Opinion..."

The Builds -of course- arent "my" Builds, there are many Guides around that archetype i just used some Changes up to the 3.7 Tree.

First Build:
1Hand Sword / Shield Build
Why Cleave and Shield?
1. The Juwel "Overwhelming Odds" (crazy strong defense because of Free Fortify), sadly the Juwel just works with Cleave which is in my Opinion not the stronges Melee Skill.
2. Bringer of Rain fits perfect to the Blockabilitys.

Equipment: Ichimonji for MORE Fotify, Bringer of Rain, Kaoms Roots, Carnage Heart. With this Items you should be extremly Tanky and have a !!8 Link!! for very few Choas.
8 Link = Bringer of Rain + Overwhelming Odds.
(Skills: Cleave, Multistrike, Maim or Ruthless, maybe added Fire Dmg or Brutality, Fasterattack(BoR), Melee Phys(BoR), Blind(BoR), Fortify(Juwel))
on top of this, Bleed and Impale Chance from Tree.

Defense: Very Tanky with Block, Blind, buffed Fortify and all that new Damagereduction from Brutal Favour, Soulsteel, Rampart.
Ends in a Damagereduction of: after Blockchance and Evation/Blind, 25% from Fortify, 6% Reduction by Favour, 5% from Soul Steel, 5% from Blood letting !! Dont know the Formular how this Stacks but how ever it looks good.

Offense: With 20% Culling and Bleed maybe Bosses are still slow but not will not need tooooo long. (For Maps i`m going to use Haemophilia for the Explosing clearing the White/Blue Trash... Getting enough Resistence will be a Problem).

Also noteable the +2 Range and +1 and +1 Range on Tree = +4 Weaponrange

Second Build:
Dual-Wield Bloodseeker, Blade-Flurry
My Tree:https://poeplanner.com/ABEAAPkAERQAAHmbLV85ivDEgrCrvqdlTb02R36E2WBBY3AR1VeXQzHawXTtBS1M_04qKjiPYCPTmmpbr_UYcw5JUvcTeu9AoCFgwYuBQTXvOu3bpwlY0_yE72EhGlU26AHnG_ol36QZFE38S7yfGJFYr6luwBp4DbXyNZLYvf4K_o9N46ZXOuHyRW87RrfTb4ZgYVLFU0h43DIFPJ-J6bkj6jpShY_scYMueWjBBF8_FCDvDlBH5FGXeSgqi0-baoVS2WGtjc9-Wp8tMEWpZrYNjYd2Sn1XDfObaGXSIfJBggf8xZOQrWWaF5KAdqzqGPcyfNmygIa0hacnnwAAAAAA

Maybe some better Bosskiller because of Blade Flurry. Fortify must be triggered with Movementskills, that not so very nice but okeish.
Instant Leech from Claws, 100% Hit from Resolute Technics, small amount of Block by Dualwield + Tree.

Main "Highlight" here is the Instantleech from Claws and some Frenzy and Endu. charge Generation per Charging Offensive. Also a lot of Reduction from Tree like before

Thirst Build:
Ngamahu's Flame - Cyclone
I Link this here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1819239
Thats one of the greatest Guides i have seen so far. Its VERY Expensive but i think this could run with Buget Gear too. Nghamuh`s Flame generally will be by for more cheap then Starforge (i hope)
And at least Nghamus only need 6 Sockest, not Links. So i think there could be a cheaper Variant of the linked GREATEST GUIDE by using the Non Xophs Tree and also disgrade it to a very budget with.
BoR, Carnage, Nghamus, any 30% Run Boots.

So that is about what i think going in Legion. Would be nice if someone have some good Tipps if this Builds could run an what should be changed.

Remember: Should be very Budget, should be able to do Selffound, should be able to do Lab on your self, should run early without Investment.

All Tipps, Changes, Informations, Meanings and so on are very Welcome.

Happy Grinding =)
