My Path of Exile 2 Build Plan so far. Hammer of the Gods Ignite

[@gumpable]

Clear skills not being able to use the same supports as your boss killer is such an amazing game changer, finally some real variety. Stoked to give this build a whirl along with you.

[@ConnerConverse]

the skill planner is in description but subject to much change

Glad for you man, hope you have a blast with it. I'm gonna go in blind outside of what has been revealed in the announcement and teasers cause it's a fresh game, it looks fun, it's not a 3rd person roleplaying story telling slop and want to have fun like back in the days where you barely knew about the game and learned as you played.

[@Tracerbullet328]

Congrats on ISU going to the CCG. Definitely looking at something like this. Appreciate your content

slows are action speed

[@JavierCasanova25]

if u put your shield in your left hand you can stare at your watch while u wait

[@devlin7282]

That seems like a long way to go from start to giants blood, to Aegis and up to the ignite cluster and Whispers. Have you pathed this out?

[@ConnerConverse]

A full path 180 degrees from 6 o clock to 12 o clock on the tree is 30 travel points for 7 jewel sockets. Not too worried

[@TL-fe9si]

In Conner we trust!

[@QuidBeliever]

Really want to see if i can do a hammer on a chronurgy sorc, lots of int+mana scaling damage with lighting, herald of thunder converting the physical into the scaled lightning + time snap to do it twice in quick succession and can utilise hourglass support effectively and maybe even second wind for 3 (sexond wind on time snap maybe?). Unsure if possible to scale the damage enough, but might be an incredible allrounder and frees up the powerful spell support gems for clearing Edit: think I read herald of thunder wrong, but with potentially 3 hammers in quick succession I think this can get scaled pretty effectively Edit2: seen avatar of fire (75% of damage as fire, deal no non-fire damage), maybe something similar for lightning? or use avatar of fire on weapon swap passive + other fire scaling passives? feels like sorc can scale its fire damage better

[@Zangetsu8150]

Titan was never in consideration for me until now. Some good theory crafting there! Button intensity might not be too bad also, as a console player less buttons is even more important!

[@Solmnfray61]

They got rid of a ton of health nodes on the skill tree like 3% Max Health was one of the remaining big ones so titan getting 20% is huge!

[@danielmitchell671]

check out conc effect and also combo finisher for your HOtG links. Combo finisher could be good if you can reliably build combo points during your hammer cd.

[@grzegorzwegrzyn850]

Ive enjoyed following your advice on Molten strike of the zenith build and had pleanty fun doing it, and ive achived my gool of reaching 1k dlve. Looking forward fore more update and, lets have some fun playiong poe2

[@Gilazel]

Just curious how u plan on leveling with this setup, but we have respec with gold so prob just doing normal melee until maps ?

[@cd8788]

So far I can only find two skills that use dual wield but people have already said a lot of these skill gems are missing information.. I hope dual wield will work for most warrior skills.

[@mpwave]

so as a total new player i see their will be different servers to choose what would you recommend, have been playing new world so hoping some off it will translate cheers

[@ConnerConverse]

you just choose server location by lowest latency, theres no restriction swapping between them like there would be in a game like WoW. there are different game modes like hardcore and softcore, and later on in the game leagues. just pic the regular Softcore league

[@Patrins]

I predict encumbrance doesn't actually work with temp chains because TC is an action speed modifier rather than a slow.

[@Moogle]

Conner replied to you on wrong comment but he said slows are action speed

[@hiimbob979]

[@keyhunter6795]

I thought that they put in heavy armour on bosses to stop someone walking in and doing a one shot. Maybe required to armour break before dropping the Hammer?

[@ConnerConverse]

armour has absolutely 0 interaction with this build. armour reduced physical damage in path of exile

15:59 nice setup

[@maxgribov6985]

Wouldn’t this build be somewhat useless on Maven like fights when you have short alternating phases with a “new” enemy on every phase. Seems like you will be able to quickly go through phase one and wait for the cd on the start of every other phase

[@ConnerConverse]

immune phases are a result of players being able to 1 shot every boss, the fights weve seen on poe2 release have no immune phases

[@diegogarber1]

[@dali1384]

i had similiar ideas, HOTG - but i wasnt sure if dot is the right thing, since poe1 treats it so badly. for that reason i was thinking about a crit version.

[@maxwellingram6541]

Would Lightning Storm still shock if you convert all damage to fire through avatar of fire?

[@ConnerConverse]

needs to be tested

[@Moogle]

Lightning storm might not even be in the game atm, its not in elementalist skills... could be a druid skill since thats where it was first showed.

[@swootyx]

The biggest flaw i see so far is build feeling, the attack speed seems like itll be rough when you're swarmed by mobs and potentially getting stunned by hits

[@ConnerConverse]

this build will neither get stunned or feel anything when its surrounded by monsters

[@swootyx]

@ConnerConverse at endgame or can it be like this throughout the 25 hour campaign? I imagine early game will feel rough for most classes

[@ConnerConverse]

@@swootyx Warrior is very tanky in act 1 just by filling your gear slots but end game it will use the Untiring and Aegis setups both to basically be able to AFK when surrounded by monsters

[@urbanops9882]

So tempted but for my first play through I want to fight the bosses with no cheese

[@yapp1189]

im thinking about HOTG chronomancer will it works with time freeze as it s main mechs?

[@brianmcfate1910]

Would you still be able to shock with Lightning Storm if you have Avatar of Fire?

[@ConnerConverse]

Won't know till testing

[@jdelaney993]

I feel like hammer and seismic cry with endurance charge stacks will beat this no?

[@ConnerConverse]

none of those things do any damage

[@xingdongjiang1303]

I was a bit worried about the hammer has 2.5 sec duration, that seem to me as a 2.5 sec delay. And with the long CD, I am thinking about the witch that refresh cd. With more invest into armour life, we should be tanky enough so if a big hit launch on us we can use temp rift to recovery to full like. That's the poe1 ignite build do have some recovery problem

[@xingdongjiang1303]

Since i'd expect to see a rare every 2-3 sec in late game, I was thinking to give hammer second wind, and if that cd refresh can give all charge back. Let say the refresh cd has a cd of 8 sec, with a bit cdr invested, every 5-6 sec, we get 2 use of hammer.

[@ConnerConverse]

there is nothing related between ignite builds and recovery problems aside from i guess if you plan on relying on leech for recovery, which this build will be untiring + aegis on tree for its recovery

[@ConnerConverse]

@@xingdongjiang1303 a rare every 2-3 seconds in late game would mean in a 5 minute map you fight 100-150 rares. no map in path of exile naturally spawns mroe than 25-30 rares

[@xingdongjiang1303]

@@ConnerConverse Im guessing some numbers, for armour w/o flask and determination, we might have 10-20k armour if we invest a bit, that's 100 to 200 ES per block. I guess its ok consider we are forced to use a life flask. For rares, it really depends on how hard t15 is. If its a bit easy for all build can clear, then maybe fresh time to make thing smooth worth the plan. BTW Rain of Arrow also seems way OP.

[@ConnerConverse]

@@xingdongjiang1303 rain of arrows is not a real gem, anyone who looks at it and thinks its real is not a serious person. 400 arrows at 160% effectiveness is definately placeholder numbers

[@superking___]

He beat the game before it came out.

[@cd8788]

I thought shocks ability to add more damage to a boss was based on how hard the shock does in damage compared to the bosses health pool?

[@ConnerConverse]

No shock is a flat 30% in poe2 and harder hits increase this chance. There are both skills and supports that seem to give flat shock chance however so I used both to be safe

[@anatolyrybalchenko1373]

You need really high stun threshold for this or your hammer will always be interrupted.

[@ConnerConverse]

I don't think uber bosses will be able to consistently stun a titan with actual defense

[@mas0ny149]

how would hammer of the gods work with ancestral totem, will placing the totem and after it casts hammer of the gods, then resummon and replacing the totem bypass the cooldown? I know it works for flamewood totem but I'm not sure if it would work for cooldown skills. if it does its probably broken

[@derinderinderinderin2]

would be useless because you can only put one ignite on the enemy. you would also lose a lot of damage from various sources because you wouldnt attack yourself

[@WeiLun-j5g]

can someone explain how the ignite chance works to me?

[@Flosstradamuss]

Block the devs from seeing this

[@Iahaut]

That might be crazy

[@davidarbour2683]

cool one but you never talk about fire pen and i think with avatar of fire its gonna be really hard to have 75% fire pen. you don't have flammability in your curse. so some unique boss gonna have 75% less damage. in some case i don't see it viable or 1-2 shot boss with hammer....

[@ConnerConverse]

There's 15%+ pen nodes all over the tree and you only need around 50

[@synti737]

Because we don't have the full tree yet. But there's 18% pen at the top where he's pathing anyway and I'm sure there'll be plenty more - plus it's not like you can't swap out enfeeble for flammability if it really is impossible to get otherwise.

[@Playthrough_Pulse]

I think all these build makers are assuming they can solve stat requirements for all their gear and lvl 20 gems in every attribute, which seems unlikely. Maybe some combos are strong enough to support partially leveled gems if the gems are that good at low levels, but it's still too early to tell I think.

[@MrMokey24]

The main link is all red gems though? These build ideas are for end game, where we can assume we can solve this with gear. There is also the option to just not level the gems to 20

[@ConnerConverse]

You get attributes by equipping gear

[@Playthrough_Pulse]

@@ConnerConverse and that begs the question, what gear?

[@qazaq25]

This sounds cool, fun and strong... But if the game lets me equip a spear I'm equipping a spear.

spears arrive with huntress I'd assume

@Moogle I'm kind of expecting something like that so I'm keeping plans as generic as possible but the fact a number of spear skills are on poe2db when other weapon types aren't has me holding onto a bit of optimism...
