[3.10]Maddington's |STATIC STRIKE|

Hashmalin

Playstyle
Always before engage, use blood rage, needed flasks and then jump with leap slam in to group of enemies, hit once and start phasing around enemies and all near you will just blow up. You can also use phasing for fast movement, or escape. You will make your own art of destroying enemies with static and find out how satisfying playstyle this is.
You need to hit just once, and then again reset your beams with hit when its safe. When you go for tough rares / bosses use your totem and continue attacking or if you need to dodge much attacks then hit when you can and run around. Static strike unique playing style allows you to go pretty free and dodge projectiles while still doing tons of damage.
You can image static beams for Forrest Gump and run.. run Forrest run.

This is straight loan from Talonaus86 guide
"The gem interaction between Static Strike and Phase Run is unique in that the Static Strike beams can gain the DPS bonus from Phase Run for the full duration of Phase Run.
This, and the fact that the Static Strike beam attack rate is not dependent on attack speed, is what makes this build strong and special."
I can't explane it better so i will give all honors for talonaus.

I will update PoB and this guide all time when im playing.
Here will be guide for leveling and my progress steps.

07.09.2019 Around level 15, got my static strike and now i can just run
these acts. I leveled with frostblades before i got my static strike, it was ok when you can get winter spirit from skill tree.
I noticed dual swords are very effective and nice leveling weapons.
You get nice early buffs for swords too from talent tree.
I will updating my current gear here and you find current progress PoB-link from "Skill tree / PoB spoiler" so you guys can see what im using for levelling.
I also have tested elemental hit for second skill and its working nice.
Starting act 4 level 38. My journey have been slower than expected because im sick atm but we are going forward!
Act 4 ending soon. Got herald of purity and 4 linked static strike with melee physical damage, elemental dmg and hypothermia and its working nicely.
Just finished lab and got my raider ascendancy, i test Rapid Assault because onslaught buff is pretty cool.
Part 2 Act 6 level 50 started. For now everything is going pretty smooth.
Just got my Terminus Est Tiger sword wich tripled my DPS! Really good buff at 50 level.
8/09/2019 Starting act 7.
Just completed second lab, took 2 runs
Got my static strike enchant for helmet, good help. Trying to balance resistances, monsters hurting these levels. Also taking some health nodes from talent tree.
Starting act 10 level 68. No hard times, going pretty smoothly.
Should upgrade some gear soon, resistances are pretty low.
Acts completed now. Next stop atlas and shaper here i come!
Now i can focus to grind endgame gear and evolve this build more :)
Merciless labyrinth done with second attempt.
09/09/2019 Starting farming maps, delve and masters. Got now 200k dps and its enough for early maps and also resistances +70 wich is making me more stronger.
Next im trying to get voidforge.
10/09/2019I tried to figure how to make better clear and burst damage when i dont have voidforge yet.
I tried vaal ancestral warchief and it really really helped me alot. Example Alva instruction i just spammed 2 totems to help me clear, blight encounter was much easier and against boss x2 warchief was great succes.
Got my voidforge atlast and now we can begin the real map running.
14/09/2019 Farming new stuff and currency.
Got my 6-linked armour and made important note that we need chain in this league, we must have that for blight encounters to make our life much easiern.
15-16/09/2019 Farm farm nothing important.
Made another static strike character as Shadow. We are going to have some really interesting days.. testing testing.
18/09/2019Doing basicly daily quests, delve and farming. I am playing almost daily, i wanna update here but kind of boring everyday mark my daily routines so i am going to write here if i have something interesting ! :)
21/09/2019Got circle of guilt and wise oak, good stuff!
22/09/2019Uber lab done and last ascendancy. Hydra / Phoenix done.
23/09/2019Got some endgame helmet, pretty good!
29/09/2019Shaper first attempt and win. All guardians deathless, shaper was good opponent, but win for us.
05/10/2019Farming still, unlucky x.x Blight maps going easy and delve is rolling nicely.
18/10/2019Missing some time for playing, but still here! Try to keep dailys running and get currency for evolve this.
Delve progress depth 100
Atlass progress tier-13
Current DPS progress 1.8 mill
Shaper / Elder progress - guardians 4/4 Shaper down

- Do not believe what your in game dps calculations tells you.
Mine shows at the moment 50k when my true dps is 500k.
- Most of the people use path of building where you can get pretty clean calculations and also specific dps.
- Important note if you check your dps from PoB and you use voidforge - you must change "300% of weapon damage.." away and replace it "Gain 100% of Physical Damage as Extra Fire Damage
Gain 100% of Physical Damage as Extra Cold Damage
Gain 100% of Physical Damage as Extra Lightning Damage" because for some reason PoB dont know how to calculate voidforge dps. So this is the way how we get our dps calculated with voidforge.
- Also we need to remember add correct settings for enemies and flasks etc. You can check mine from PoB link.

Items
I will add later more and more what i have on my mind but for now because we are short in time for league starting i will write what are we looking for.
Weapons:If we go safe way our core option is Voidforge Infernal Sword. . We aim for clean 6-linked voidforge. We can farm it from shaper or buy raw voidforge with 50-80 chaos and link it by our self. Its pretty cheap invest for its damage.
We can use Terminus Est Tiger sword before Voidforge. Its really cheap with links and do the damage too. I think we could use nice rare 2-h sword too. I will get into that more later.

Head I suggest rare helmet. We can make it by our self or buy it. What we are looking is life, resistance balance and Static Strike has +2 maximum Beam Target enchant.
We can start with these and try to get best possible rolls.
We can use shaper / elder items too and Abyssus Ezomyte Burgonet for tough guys who like dmg. Abyssus is risk to use, you might get 1 shotted some times but you can make your build armour based and get away
from those awfull 1 shots.
Everything is possible. I will try to get much more options for you guys to use!


Gloves
.
Always good option, Tombfists with 2 abyssal sockets are really great but expensive so you can go with 1 socket.
.
This idea came from talonaus86 and these gloves are really great and nice for budget. Corrupted version can acquire us Elemental Weakness curse on hit wich is really powerfull.
.
This is example, we can play with crit, shaper, elder items.
There is always good option use rare gloves.
We can get what we want, life, resists, missing int maybe some dmg.

Boots I prefer rare boots. We can get so much resists, life, movement speed all nice things with rare boots. Example

I will add more options and examples later.

Armour Our standard goal is Loreweave.
Its easy to acces because "This item can be acquired by vendoring 60x Unique Rings." so we can get it from recipe. We can also buy it from markets.
If you want go more tank and leave some dps away you can go Kaoms.
You will miss some single target dmg but it will provide a lot of health.
I think we could use Carcass Jack Varnished Coat and i will try Farrul's Fur
Triumphant Lamellar how we do with this nice chest.
Also rare chest with "gems are supported by maim" is working well.
If you go with that make sure you have good rolls too.
Loreweave is hard to beat.

Belt I am using mostly rare stygian vise. Abyssal socket is nice buff
for us and we can get huge amount of life, resists and elemental damage to our belt. I think there is few unique belts that could work Head Hunter, The Retch.


Rings I have used mark of the elder ring + rare shaper ring, The Taming Prismatic Ring and just double rare rings.
Both ways working nicely.
I personally maybe prefer rare rings, we can get exactly what we want.
I like balanced build so i like to balance stats with rings, life, resists, then we can add some phy dmg to attacks / elemental damage / critical strike chance, critical strike multiplier.
We can keep upgrade our rings long away for endgame becouse really good rare rings cost a lot.

These are some example rings, just showing where we are going.

Amulet Rare amulets are really stong. We can again keep balancing our stats. There is also good place to add some phy dmg, ele dmg, crit chanse and multiplier. Still always life resists go first.
We can also add crafts increased dmg wile leeching, increased Melee Damage
+1 to Melee Weapon and Unarmed Attack range or just missing stats what we need. There is some interesting unique amulets too what we can use.


There is some examples again

Gems (WILL UPDATE GEM PICTURES SOON)

6-link chest / sword
Static strike, melee physical damage support, elemental damage with attacks support,fortify, damage on full life support, chain.
other options: We used before hypothermia but because blight league i noticed chain is way more effective. (changes)
I like hypothermia more but yes chain is better in this league.
We might need swap ruthless support for harder bosses for more damage.
I can also recommend ancestral call if you want add more attack targets and i will test how new multisrike works with static.

6/4-link chest / sword
Ancestral Warchief, Elemental damage with attacks, melee physical damage support, hyphotermia support, ruthless support, maim support
other options:I strongly recommend to try Vaal version of ancestral warchief, i liked it better late game.
talounaus86 used concerated effect support, its good.

4-link boots / helmet / gloves
Leap slam, Endurance Charge on Melee Stun Support, blood rage, phasing
oether options: You can use dash, any movement skill what you like. I like the combination of leap slam and endurance charge on mele stun.
We can jump in and start phasing.

4-link boots / helmet / gloves
Hatred, Herald of purity, war banner, englihten support
other option: you can use banner for your prefer (dread do not work with voidforge) blood and sand, flesh and stone for good survivability and also damage.

4-link boots / helmet / gloves
Cast when damage taken, steel skin, precision

other options We can mix up gem orders this is something i made up. If you don't wanna use enlighten you can swap it with precision.
We can also re-organize blood rage and phasing to add some support gems to leapslam (faster attacks, blood magic) or (increased duration) for blood rage + phasing.

Flask There is many options, i like to use Diamond Flask for lucky crit strike. Lion's Roar will give nice damage boost and also 3000+ armour.
Then we can use The wise oak bishmut flask its nice mix up for damage and balancing resists. I like to use also 1 quick silver flask for going fast.
Last flask choice is kind of optional what you like to use, i prefer 1 panic health flask like example Blood of the Karui flask.
We can add some nice immune / remove effect for flasks too. It will help you at many situations, example you open strong box and it will freeze you, but
you have immune to freeze at some flask you can use it before box explode and day saved. I will add more options later too.

Some example flasks.

Jewels increased maximum life, critical strike chance / multiplier for two-handed melee weapons,
critical strike multiplier with elemental skills, melee criticial strike chance. There is many options, always increased maximum life is good but you can also go full damage modifiers.
Abyssal jewel we use murderous eye and stat options would be life, physical damage, gain phy dmg as extra fire damage
chance to gain unholy might for # seconds on meleekill
increased critical strike chance if you haven't dealt a critical strike recently , increased damage if you've killed Recently
, critical strike multiplier if you've killed recently
So there is alot of options what we can use.

There is examples.

Bandits Kill all for 2 extra points or help alira. I personally like take 2 extra points.

Pantheon
Major god will be Soul of Lunaris, it will provide us nice buffs
1% additional Physical Damage Reduction for each nearby Enemy, up to 8%
1% increased Movement Speed for each nearby Enemy, up to 8%'
10% chance to avoid Projectile Damage
5% chance to Dodge Attacks and Spells if you've been Hit Recently
Avoid Projectiles that have Chained

Minor god there is few good options.
Soul of Garukhan
Soul of Gruthkul
Soul of Ralakesh
Your choice.

Ascendancy Start here: Way of the poacher, Avatar of the slaughter, rapid assault, avatar of chase
There might be changes for those i will update if so.

Ring enchants i haven't checked properly yet good enchants, i have my self meteor tower buff.
Head enchant - static maximum beams targets + 2
Boots enchants - your choice / i like cold damage to attacks buff.

-I started with frost blades and dual swords.
-You will get static strike at level 12. After completing The Siren's Cadence Act 1 you can buy static strike from Nessa. You will reward it too with templar, marauder and scion from same quest.

-Use 2 speed potions and only static big groups for experience. My goal is just get atlas fast as possible. If you are new player or just like to keep things slower you can clear all monsters and get level lead from monsters.

-Try to get some health and you can play any weapon you like. I started with dual swords.

-You shouldn't have problems if you get few starting items(you can buy with few alch from shop or make your own gear with recipes) and keep it simple hit and run.

-Try to get Terminus Est sword near 50 level it will boost you alot.

-If you feel like you need to spam flasks all the time you should take some life leech from tree. It helped me alot.

-There is many good starter unique items (cant link those for some reason)
Tabula rasa, prismweave rusticsash, unique leather belt with mana / life leech, there is few good rings that you can use too. Those most commons what will drop.


-Important thing you must complete all side quests too, you get good rewards.

-If you struggle some bosses try to hit and jump around, don't stand still, you will kill it at some point. If it feels like you get killed a lot take life nodes and add life / resists to gear.

-Most important things at boss fights you need to know tactics (shaper, guardians). It's half win if you know what to do.

-NEW PLAYERS , check vendor recipes from PoEwiki https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vendor_recipe_system there is many helpfull recipes what you can use!

-Later game you will wonder how you can manage all your auras? I don't have mana? Keep your precision aura at level 1, do not level up it.

-https://i.imgur.com/icJu1WA.png build path for this build if you dont know where to start.

Help me to make this guide better and share your experiences!

Q:Gem orders? A: static, melee phy dmg, ele dmg, fortify / hypo. When you have enough life leech you can add damage on full life.
