HOT, POE 3.6 Pathfinder - All Content League Starter -Strom Brand Build

This build is designed to run fast and clear maps safely. It summons storm brands that shock, freeze and trigger our herald to clear massive packs of mobs both on screen and off. With Brand Recall we can pull the brands with us to a new screen, clear it AND extend the duration of the brands themselves. It has good single target for map bosses because if 2 brands attach themselves to the same target, it increases the damage each brand does by 50% more damage.

PoE 3.6 Update:

Path of Building has been updated. The nerf to Storm Brand was not bad at all! If my math is correct it should be around a 25% dps loss from the nerf. Our damage should still be fairly comparable and fine for doing all bits of content. When we finished this league my PoB on bosses was around 800k dps ON shaper which is plenty of damage.

Pros & Cons:

+ Pathfinder (POE 3.6 Pathfinder Other Builds)Ascendency means you have infinite flasks

+ Immune to elemental Ailments like freeze shock and ignite and an increase chance to cause those same ailments by 20%!

+ Clears effectively and looks cool as HECK

+ Can do all content!

- Low hp

- Cannot do Elemental Reflect

Ascendancy:

Nature's Boon > Nature's Adrenaline > Master Alchemist > Master Surgeon

The only change is once you acquire a jewel with "corrupted blood cannot be inflicted on you" - You replace Master Surgeon with Veteran Bowyer for the extra Elemental Penetration

Bandits:

Kill all for +2 points or Alira - Both are great for us
