Anyway, any tips/advice on whether to use the Iron Heart Crusader plate from veterans? I'm dubious because the spell blocking limitation as that was what I was going to go for in the Cruel Lab.
I don't suggest using that chest piece. It basically nullifies one of our ascendancy nodes. It is lots of damage but at the cost of a large amount of defence.I think a nice rare chest with lots of life and resists (and the sockets you want) is best. But that's my opinion.


Thanks Wrecker, I came to the same conclusion last night after equipping it and seeing only a marginal damage increase. It's not worth the trade off.

So I finished Cruel Lab last night and although I got a crappy boot mod that added lightning damage only if I haven't damaged lately, I did find a nice sword with added physical and cold damage and 20% increase attack speed, so I finally have a decent weapon. The build feels like it's rolling again as I immediately began mowing down mobs again like the early days and rolled all the way to maps. The Lab also dropped a 6-link Chain Mail that I don't have enough Intelligence to use (my character that is, I know how to equip it). I'm looking for an easy way to get a passive node and use it, but I'm not sure I can get 5 red and 1 green link, so I may just keep rolling with my 4-link until I can find a strength based 6-link armor. We will see.

Might I add that the new little mini-quest to get the map device is tedious. I guess it has a story element, but after getting the map device last league, I was excited to jump right in only to find I had to do more running...

I'm currently hunting for Chaos Resist gear to get from -5 currently into the positive and of course, better overall gear and a 6-link.

Anyway, thanks again for the help and the great build. Really having fun and the first map I ran was great. Can't wait to spend some time cleaning out my inventory and getting ready for the Atlas progression. Level 74 and going.

Awesome Thrippy!

Sweet update! I love reading where people are at and what they're thinking.

I'm glad you're liking it! I'm sure you've progressed lots through the Atlas since your post. I hope it's going well!

Hey Wrecker, just wanted to add my thanks to the thread. Really enjoying the build. I hadn't played since Betrayal because I got frustrated with the performance issues leading to progression stalling at level 87. Got the itch to play again and someone linked to your builds on reddit and I decided to try this one out.

I probably should have read the thread first because I put too much focus on defense in my gear so far I think. I'll have to see if I can adjust things as I find other gear.

I'm at level 84 and hoping this is the first character I get to 90 at the very least. I stalled on the storm brand Iquisitor in Betrayal at 87. I'm never going to be a very good player, but this has been the tankiest build I think I've played on both PC and PS4.

Anyway, good to see someone that posts SSF builds and actually means it. So many I have found say they are, but then end up mentioning specific gear that you need to get.

Thanks for the time you put into this. It is one of the great things about the game. The community is filled with helpful people. With the complexity of the game that really helps keep people coming back I'm sure.

I'm already getting the itch to try another build. I enjoy my casters even though I always end up too squishy. But will be pushing this was as far as I can before the league ends.
You rock jstjeff!

I'm glad you're liking the build and find that it and the guide are up your alley. I really appreciate the time you took to be encouraging and kindness.

Let me know if you have any questions about anything. Many people that follow these guides are really helpful and will be able to answer before me as well.
Thanks again :).

So far I am lvl 83, first character I went so high on lvl because I lose fast my fun when builds getting complicated. Your builds helping me enjoying the game and getting stuff to try out more, thank you Wrecker_of_Days.

I am not so well into min and maxing out characters so I wanted to ask if this here is ok, or if I have spots I can improve.

Hey Xarnon!

I'm really glad you are having a good time! PoE is a great game, but it's only great when you're having fun :). Thanks for taking the time to be thankful. I appreciate it.

Your gear looks amazing! Your only available improvements are min/maxing. So if you find both survivability and damage to your liking, don't change a thing. The only improvements I can see are a helmet that gives you 100+ life and improving your life rolls on your other gear that are under 80. Your rare ring could be a Steel Ring (for the implicit) too.

But honestly, don't change anything if you don't want to. Your gear is amazing and I doubt you'll run into issues. Good job on your gear and thanks again for your kindness.

what if i want to do dual axes instead of 1hand/shield? is that possible? can i just take the dual wielding nodes instead of the block nodes?
Hey SupraNova!

Nice snag on the name. It sounds simple enough, but you'd have to change the WHOLE tree, not just the nodes themselves. The tree is min/maxed including travel nodes and block chance. So you'd have to do some considering as to which nodes you from the current tree you were willing to cut to maintain your max block chance along with keeping the tree to a max of level 90 or 91.

You could do it, but it's not an easy swap. It's just a WHOLE new tree.

If you go for it, let us know what you ended up doing!

Just checking in after the weekend (hey, it helps the work day go by faster to think about POE).

I hit level 80 for the first time. I realize I didn't know anything about the game at all prior to Blight and I still no very little.

I'm SSF, so no super gear. Still running 4-link armor with a 2-link addition that I'm using for a Golem. I switched out the Stone Golem for a Fire Golem to push the damage higher.

Changes I made over the weekend. I switched Leap Slam to a 3-link and moved Reckoning to a 4-link. Big difference! Even bigger when I switched out Bleed and Life Gain for Pulverize and Brutality.

I found this nice sword which bumped damage a bit.

I ran the Merciless Lab and added the Violent Retaliation to go with Painforged and Versatile Combatent. I just finished the Bloodless notable and life passives. I've pretty much maxed my skills and I'll be trying for +life nodes. I haven't taken Vaal Pact or Resolute Technique. Not sure about either.

Overall progress, I just killed Baran and got my first Watchstone and I'm still trying to find better gear, especially with chaos resistance. I may run a few labs to try to improve my glove modifier. I tried helmet and boots and got pretty worthless mods.

I delved a bit but I'm only down to about 20 and not sure if it's worth my while.

Overall, the build is a tank. I've died a few times to one shots, but I think my negative chaos resist helped. I'm comfortably running T5 maps and not sure if I should place the watchstone or try to open up another corner in the T1-T5 range to find another Conqueror.

I've only made like 30c in currency, but I"m having the most fun I've had in the game. My Necromancer last league was easy, but I don't feel it was as rewarding as this character. Really loving the in-your-face playstyle.

Thanks again Wrecker.
Hey Thrippy!

Good job on your watchstone! You'll progress no problem. I'm putting one Watchstone in each thingy. Then, once each one has a watchstone, I'll start putting 2 in each. I find it good progress.

Thanks for taking the time to be encouraging. I'm glad you're enjoying PoE and I'm happy to have helped :).

...Question for anyone - I was lucky enough to come across a 6L today, but it's corrupted and is 3G2B1R. Aside from Close Combat, are there any Dex or Int support gems that are good enough to make the 6L better to use than say a 4L that I can customize more explicitly?
Hey King_Haart!

Awesome find! It's really exciting to get a 6-link to drop! Unfortunately, those are brutal colours for this build. I just don't think it'd work. I mean, you could find gems that fit it, but I think you'd be way stronger with a 5 link with the perfect colours.

Resolute Technique gives you 100% hit chance. You should take it.

I understand the hesistancy on VP - as it changes the playstyle a bit, so play around with it as you want to feel the differences, but I highly recommend taking RT. Just my $0.02


Thanks, I'll head there next. I think I can remove one of my gems and a +30 dex node I needed earlier for some reason and get there or maybe just 1 level short. Then I can get back to life nodes. I'm a little concerned that I'm level 82 and my life is short of 5k so far. But then again, I am SSF and I haven't found top tier gear at this point.

I did get a blue 5-link armor that I regal'd to rare, but unfortunately it doesn't have a lot of mods. Still can't complain with the ones I got though. Dual 40% resists and a low life add and I added armor to get it close to 1k. Happy to finally add Brutality to my Bladestorm. I'm still using Double Strike instead of Riposte as my boss killer (alternate with Bladestorm) and it does very well with Ancestral Call.

I started delving a bit and realized that there are Azurite vaults and better! Geez, I've been so lame I also didn't go down lower for some reason, not realizing you can just jump as low as you want (at least within reason). I'm staying in the monster levels at 60+ to do the chaos recipe (just to collect for when this league is over).

I had a nice metamorph organ last night that gave incubator items and I got a map one. Look what I incubated! Holy shit, level 16. There is no way I can take this on at this point, so I guess I'll hold on to it. No reflect at least, I think the other mods are doable.

Still loving this build and hoping that with the 5-link I will gain some more killing power. I'm really not struggling up to T5 maps and only the Sacrifice fragment boss (all 4) has killed me. Got there but couldn't do anything at all. Not sure if I should be able to kill that boss at my level or if I went in way too early.

Hoping to find that elusive 6-link or my first SSF Exalt drop, so I'll keep going. Thanks for the tips and advice and the great build.
Vaal Temple! Hang on to that. They don't come by often at all! That's so great for Atlas Bonus %!

Longtime player thats been on hiatus for almost a year, just wanted to jump in and say how much im enjoying the build. Has brought the fun back to poe for me instead of pushing the meta and trying too hard which frankly burned me out to begin with.

I love playing sword and board and it looks more viable now than maybe it ever has been. bladestorm is fun, ive opted for shield charge for my movement. Only lvl 40 so far but looking forward to see where it goes. Still got a long way to go for proper sockets/links for gems etc.

Quick question, havent read the whole thread so sorry if this has been covered but since we are keeping tempest shield at lvl 1 anyway can i just opt for running cwdt with it over culling strike? or do we not get hit enough to regularly trigger it?

tia, guide is well written and easy to follow.

We really don't get hit often with our high chance to block attacks. That's why Wrecker_of_Days didn't use Cwdt in this guide.

Well, the base duration of tempest shield is 12 seconds... you could give it a try if at least every ~ 12 seconds an attack bypasses the enormous defenses to trigger the tempest shield reliably.

If you like the sword and board style you might also be interested in having a look at Wrecker_of_Days' cyclone-ranger-guide. She is really good, too. Extremly fast and efficient and tankier than I would have expected an evasion based character to be.
