Farm Sanctums EASILY with HexBlast Occultist | Build Guide | Path of Exile | 3.24

[@RicoPoE]

I just wanna let this be known to anybody wanting to league start sanctum for Patch 3.25, this build is insanely good at doing sanctum given you know how some of the sanctum mechanics work already. PLEASE PUT THIS BUILD TOGETHER FIRST IN STANDARD just to get the feel of it first!

[@yk_2120]

are u going to make 3.25 pob for the build ? sense the divine blessing gem got removed and other stuff is kinda different now

[@cyan2925]

​@@yk_2120You could use march of the legion boots, or use affliction corpse+raise spectre to get free moving aura summons.

[@TheWay0411]

I´ve played this build a lot but not from leaguestart, i played the full geared build with mageblood etc etc. I´ve did some tests after watching your video but idk, it didn´t feel great to start. Not sure if was a lack of damage or low mine throwing speed. Have you ran any tests for 3,25?

[@bigbuckbunny9073]

the lvl 68 pob showing 200k dps are you sure we can kill lycia comfortably with that?

[@RicoPoE]

@@bigbuckbunny9073 for lvl68-72 Sanctums yes

[@netta7563]

Beautiful edit like always!! Im planning on making a hexblast build in Standard to "practice" because right now I can´t even do 2 floors lol, and seeing videous like this will surely help. I really hope that you start with us next league and guide us from zero to hero with your amazing videos

[@RicoPoE]

This comment is so motivating, like really thank you so much. If you have suggestions, tell me. Also sanctum just takes a few runs to get used to, it’s one of those mechanics once you get down sticks with you😁

[@beasthaven1571]

Please do a zero to hero hex blast cultist first few days >~< I want to farm sanctum haven’t played since December so this looks hypeeee

[@drugadecal]

@@beasthaven1571 You can go ED, Contagion and Blight

[@beasthaven1571]

Can't wait to try this in 3.25 sanctum Keep us updated !

[@POELDEN]

Ty for this banger video I'm very exited to learn sanctum and play this in 3.25

[@Fabregas200788]

dude, great video, great work and great editing now I have to watch Sanctum guide also

[@adrunkdude99]

I typically play totems in sanctum at league start but decided to try hex blast this league. Was able to (hex)blast Lycia into oblivion with a ~40c budget without much fuss. One thing I would mention to new players trying this on day 1 is to spend a few extra c on a decent belt and shield regen roll makes it much easier to sustain rf. Nice build.

[@nomadman86]

Great video and editing!

[@beasthaven1571]

Now that I finished what I liked was how you said early progression Be on look out for these items to buy. Then you also showed priority items to buy for mid level which I find amazing a lot of the times they would just show early league start times but no priority to buy just get these items so seeing the mid level and not just here’s the start and now this is end game gear. Really helps as the transition period I always get stuck on and end up spending 15+ hours trying to regear and figure out what to buy. Is void battery out end game best in slot to for sanctums?

[@RicoPoE]

Void Battery is indeed the BiS for the endgame, only thing that can beat it is some crazy implicit synth base omen wands. Later on you can get one with a nice corrupted implicit such as elemental pen etc. Im glad you enjoyed the video bro :)

[@beasthaven1571]

@@RicoPoEhell yes thank god that’s bis no wand crafting for me yay!i have bad luck is there anything we need to craft? Also how does loop work with relekash boots. So it says we lose power charges at full and get shocked does that mean we will never be at full charges it’s like both items counter each other so which one is in effect. Noob question but curious

[@henricornec3193]

Hey, I'm definitely playing this at league start, love the upgrade priority list. Wondering what your take on the bandits is? I was thinking Alira to help with resists early given how many uniques we're using, but it kind of feels like a waste with all the fire res...should I just go for Kraitlyn instead or are you still in the skill point camp? Also thoughts on Lori's Lantern for early sanctums?

[@RicoPoE]

@@henricornec3193 I would definitely go for the skills points regarding the bandits. As for Loris lantern, that’s on personal preference considering you are sure you can get your other needed stats usually found in jewellery elsewhere in the build :)

[@henricornec3193]

@@RicoPoE thanks!

[@starko157]

What is the song in the background? feels like a variation of something I've heard before. Nice video and great editing :)

[@RicoPoE]

@@starko157 I think it was from a “Chill Synthwave Playlist” in either Spotify or KZbin, if you look that up you might find something like it

[@peterkeo2082]

How do you get a consistent supply of low level tomes during league start? I'm a little late to the party but this looks dope!

[@RicoPoE]

@@peterkeo2082 they are usually DIRT CHEAP during league start, everybody usually just wants to get straight to maps. Keep them in your live search!

[@cyan2925]

It should be obvious, that this is zhp sanctum build, not endgame map zoomer. But for those, who are concerned about survivability, there is plenty of hexblast builds with survivability. Such as ES occultist hexblast, life stacker or at least triple stack energy blade hexblast inquisitor with mageblood/graven's secret+ ivory tower or something similar. Also it should be noted that similar variant with zhp could also farm t17, especially with new t17 changes, and some uber bosses, but generally it would still struggle with delirium, simulacrum, breach and etc. Anyways, survivability is generally useless stat for sanctum runners- even 200k ehp wouldn't guarantee you success, cause of its mechanics, so all runners eventually came to concept of "run fast, kill everyone before it sees you".I hope this would answer some questions and it would be great if you would update at least pob (especially for early game with leveling notes, since it could be not easy to leven zhp for 95-98).

[@logost5786]

Nice vidéo how did you leveling as à league start?

[@florianwerk4505]

do you think the build is still the best sanctum leaguestarter even tho they removed divine blessing? and how would you replace it

[@RicoPoE]

@@florianwerk4505 I think it’s the best build for intermediate sanctum players, this build is a glass cannon so if your not too aware of how sanctum works to begin with it might be very challenging

[@hyphaene]

i'm thinking Eye of the malice for the first runs, adds a source of exposure and double down on lowering the res, what are your thoughts on this helmet ?

[@alexandremellodias982]

Does our currency reset once a new league start?

[@RicoPoE]

@@alexandremellodias982 everything you had from the current league will be migrated to standard.

[@senX]

do you think penance brand is good for sanctum still? or are you just trolling not playing hexblast?

[@RicoPoE]

He blast is king for sanctums, changing it up sometimes can vary on your skill level in sanctum

[@NockLaumOK]

Hopefully next league you'll be making videos too and make it big on youtube.

[@RicoPoE]

I hope so too bro, between work and this gonna be hard but il try my best to push for it

[@TheWay0411]

Which setup do you use for leveling this at leaguestart? Hexblast is not ideal and i´m trying to figure out how to level it efficiently without spending too much regrets later on.

[@rutessian]

Is restless ward recommended just for the movement speed or what?

[@RicoPoE]

So basically as you may know, being a charge stacking build, ralakeshs impatience is mandatory. The problem with that is it does not give any sort of movement speed. We gain little to no movement speed aside from the MS we gain from restless ward. Replica Restless ward also gives a decent amount of life regen to sustain RF too. But trust me this chest is BiS, taking it off makes the build feel extremely sluggish

[@andrewcathcart]

how would you scale this as trickster?

[@stephenchos2]

Can anybody explain why the hexblast builds have righteous fire in them? How do I keep the righteous fire up all the time as well? Mine drys my hp then it ends.. Pls help! I tried looking it up on reddit but no luck

[@RicoPoE]

@@stephenchos2 Righteous fire gives % More spell damage as a buff for using the spell. It’s a multiplier on top of your additive damage. It’s pretty big if you can fit it in. Hope that answers your question 😁

[@bigbuckbunny9073]

is there any cheaper alternative for cloak? also what do you think is the fastest way to get the lv68 build after finishing campaign?

[@florianwerk4505]

tabula he said it in the video :D

[@JonnyPBK]

Can you check my pob? Also HB occultist

[@ubejam]

Is this still viable for 3.25?

[@RicoPoE]

@@ubejam they did not touch this skill at all, so yes it is still viable for 3.25. In fact it could be a bit stronger considering they buffed the base crit chance of wand bases so omen wands now have a base crit of 10% Im pretty sure. That along side sandstorm visage will be awesome!

[@ubejam]

@@RicoPoE Thanks! Haven't tried sanctum and hexblast, will give it a go next league.

[@RicoPoE]

@@ubejam I do recommend putting the build together in standard first and running a few low level tomes first, so you know what to expect at league start

[@justan0therday140]

​@@RicoPoEThe only downside is the nerf of sandstorm visage being rarer now and also ralakesh being popular now because of the buffs to endurance charges. It's probably way more expensive to build

[@xfireswordx8346]

pob from video ?

[@RicoPoE]

The build in the video was super scuffed , I put together a hex last build in an hour to get footage for this video, but the build is very similar to the mid budget PoB in the description :)

[@xfireswordx8346]

@@RicoPoE but is there a version between mid and endgame ? Why do you switch from Dialla to the Covenant?

[@RicoPoE]

@@xfireswordx8346 You just gotta change the body armour, Dialla is just there for more DPS but Replica Restless Ward can be used for the movement speed it gives. The covenant is used whenever you can get one with a nice corruption implcit. I will add that to the notes.

[@joeanon8568]

Minor correction: it can't inflict chill

[@M1D4N]

What if , I do this as a STR stacker with stranglegrasp ? Hmmm hours onto PoB then it is...

Love occultist and its dps but its too squishy

[@andrewnguyen3312]

Very difficult for HC

[@RicoPoE]

@@andrewnguyen3312 I would not recommend this for hardcore at all don’t do it

[@DamienBaka]

Squishy. eHP = 1.6k for the Endgame build mid budget so yeah, definitely not great. You get OS pretty much anywhere. I prefer Ventrua's version with 46k eHP. Of course it deals way less damage, but at least you can survive a hit, and also farm some Ubers (Shaper, Sirus, etc) easily. You can even make mistakes and not die.

[@johnsnow7758]

He who is afraid to die should not be born. 😎

[@DamienBaka]

@@johnsnow7758 I tried 10 Sanctum and only finished 2. Died in all the other ones. With this version of the build I would have failed all of them. :P

[@mayfallspirit]

Read the title, it's a sanctum build. Most league start sanctum builds are low ehp/zhp and it scales hard with skill so if you don't have enough practice there are no chances for an early mageblood.

[@Tsume524]

​@@DamienBakabro what? I farmed like 400 sanctums with similar setup. You can tank 1 hit usualy and if you get hit more than 1-2 times in sanctum - its just skill issue.

[@DamienBaka]

@@Tsume524 I mean, I'm not good at dodging and all, and that's why I need more defense. I tried 15 Sanctum and I could only finish 2, with a 100 divines budget build + Mageblood. So yes, I'm not good at Sanctum. It's a shame, because I actually like this type of mechanic, I just think that the afflictions are too punitive. It's what it is. I'll go the tanky way with Trickster and will farm other mechanics.
