So as you stated above, it works with 3.12, but any updates or changes to skill and tree or item preferences?

Also is it really good as a league starter? what lines we are looking for in rares so we can replace with the uniques for instance the armour and shield & cold iron earlier in the league?

Not the absolute best league starter, but as soon as you get Cold Iron Point, things are turning ridiculous


Are you gonna update pob for 3.12?

yes

They are no necessary changes for now tbh, you can use it as is. Luckily the tree hasn't been reshuffled

I league started with this as my first proper melee character ever and it's been a ride.
Currently at lvl 43/Act 5 and I am super tanky, not fearing bosses or heists. The damages seems to be there but bosses takes some time.

GladYsa is the character.


I think I have got a good gem setup while levelling. No thing is to be chanaged excepted adding more links to HoA. I can post a PoB if people are interested, since there are some needed difference before endgame and maybe because of curse/mark change. I use Vulnerability on CWDT for example instead of the mark. Could change that later. I also opted to use a Chaos Golem instead of spectres to apply Feeding frenzy and Withered. Golem can be resummoned more often and I think I will save some passives points as well, not sure of the disadvantage though.


The build is really slow until lvl 31 and you can get Cyclone and Poison. I tried different things to get HoA work before that but no avail. I kept to Molten Strike + kiting when needed. Could have been that it is my first melee characters, melee in general or this build isnt good before lvl 31. When playing with necro summoner or storm brands, it usually is a blast from Act 1. Mana was a big issue. From lvl 31 and 38 (CWDT), the build really shines :D .
Mana issues didn't get solved until I got 2 jewels with mana on attack. Only some issues with long boss fights, but let see how I deal with Act 5 Kitava first.


One question I have:

1) How viable is it to purchase / craft the cluster jewels later?
Were they frequent in Harvest? I played Delirium and clusters were abundant obviously. But I have no idea of their viability 2-3 weeks into a leauge. I would like to use them as they seem to add need damage.
I will stick to the non-cluster PoB for now and get the damage nodes first.


@Angry_RolePlayer

Thanks for providing this build.
I wanted to try out a really tanky + melee char for a while and I think this seems to be a great option (looked through). Even got to keep the minion focus which I am used to :D
Heist seems to be a perfect league for this.

Yeah this was done in Delirium league and even then good clusters were 2 ex each. Now obviusly much harder to get, but honestly after the virulence nerf they are NOT THAT great anymore. I would just get the defensive jewels first. You can spin through all content without jewels at all. Just save money for iron point and get all auras and shit going with spectres, then get a chest and you will blow through most content.

Used it too as a league starter, I'm collecting my first watchstones now. Act5 was the point where the build started to take off. I solved my mana problems the following way: Link Cyclone with Life Gain on Hit and Blood Magic (and Poison, of course), and you won't have any mana (or life) problems.

I was kinda lucky to finda good unique claw for leveling purposes: Mortem Morsu. It hast a really good attacks per second, a built-in 60% chance to poison (i.e. you don't even need poison support but can go faster attacks), as well as 20 Life gained on Hit.

I'm pretty sure I'll hit a wall eventually, but I'm still curious how far I can push it. I've put Tempest Shield on a self-cast setup because I'm rather slot-starved. Currently, I am using cheap cluster jewels (Large Minion Damage and Medium Minion Damage when affected by a Herald) in order to be able to respec in a convenient way.

Cool. Will consider that claw when I hit maps.
Leap slam is such a great QoL during leveling that I can't be without it now. Btw you are only using 4 links for your HoA?

I reached act 8 and bought a 5L for 1c in act 7. Plus that a 6L dropped for me but I see no need to use a 6L yet.

This build is amazing now. Fast and tanky. Heists are no problem. In fact I look forward to buying new contracts each time I level. Might not do that much mapping this league...


Created a PoB: https://pastebin.com/XgE3dmD6
I took some mana reservation nodes to help out with mana. Will need it when I go 6L HoA I figure.

I was using a 4L until I got into yellow maps and found some currency to buy a 6L. If you are reservation-starved, using a 5-6L Coming Calamity is also another interesting option for a chest. It only has ES, no armour, which makes it lacking in defenses, but it has +2 Herald gem Levels and sets the reservation to 45%. Got my first 8 watchstones and to level 84 - this is my current PoB: https://pastebin.com/bQvbKmE9

The thing I am most pinched for are the non-str stats, as you need 158 dex for a level 21 Hoag and 155 Int for level 20 spectres.
