Very nice guide. I'm loving the Warrior even though it's been a bit rough compared to other classes. I just started playing HCSSF too. I made it to Silverfist and got 1 shot. My problem was damage though. I dodged his one shot abilities forever, but finally got hit once and died. Do you have any tips for doing good damage while leveling up Warrior in HCSSF?

[@GrappLr]

I personally am a fan of totems. I have another video, me doing all of act 1 on warrior, with timestamps. You can have a look for it there, to get an idea how I approach it.

[@ryu_lidu]

Perfect strike is also rlly cheap to scale early, if you get a good weapon it will deal a lot of damage bcs it guarantees an ignite and it has a broken support gem that gives 50% more damage for free

[@Noah-hz9cx]

Weapon Set points are incredible and Iam super interested to see what people come up with hahaha. Ive found Witchhunter to be insane for literally any build for that reason. The Node that essentially doubles your weapon set points makes (imo) witchhunter the single best class for most strenght/dex based Builds. Ive played Greandes+DoT Hammer, Cast on Shock Lightningballs by Lightning arrows+DoT Hammer, Ignite Totems+DoT Hammer. Its so insane you can play literally any build, focus ONLY on clear and defences and then have 48 whole points to specc out a DoT Hammer to oneshot literally any boss and rare mob. I only went to tier 13-14 maps on all of those characters but weapons set points are freaking insane.

[@GrappLr]

You're absolutely right. I've contemplated making one just because of that! Never thought about the hammer angle though! That's pretty smart!

[@trentntb5437]

yo great build! Question - what viper juice did you take in act 3 and act 6? I imagine chaos in act 6, but if you go blood magic ultimately, I wonder if mana regen isn't worth it. Playing HC tho, it maybe needed if mana issues appear. That said, I am level ~48 and don't seem to be having any issues yet. Ele aliment would potentially be nice as stun threshold is too easy on warrior side of tree. Thoughts?

[@cyrik3760]

Hey, what would be a good cheap annoint and a high budget annoint for this build? You mentioned Warbringer is maybe tankier, what would your 8 ascendancie points be? i really like this tank approach

[@GrappLr]

For warbringer, the two totem ones, jade, and last one 40% block chance. Annoint cheap one I have is the 20% reduced crit damage taken from in front of merc. Expensive one. Not sure yet

You look like too much of a chad to be making good PoE 2 build videos, so I'll subscribe. I always wondered if you can use weapon swap to switch into tank mode, and now I see that is a viable strategy.

Haha, thanks!

[@anonymousjd1807]

Would this build work with magma barrier? Curious why you did not consider it. Thanks.

[@GrappLr]

I don’t like lowering the shield. And I also don’t scale fire damage. Also, that would be additional spirit needed to reserve. But sure, you can add it if you have the spirit

Bro you are a freaking genius. I was wondering why the heck would i be slamming my shield and u just made it viable

[@GrappLr]

XD enjoy!

[@voswouter87]

What do you think of armour being so weak? It seems 2.4 times weaker than in PoE. It seems your build is still vulnerable to many one-shots. Hits that most, much easier, energy shield builds will survive.

[@GrappLr]

Is it as strong as ES? Definitely not. But I can tank every single 1 shot from physical I've faced so far. Now, it really depends on map mods. Damage as extra chaos, etc. I'm sure a slam can 1 shot me, etc. But yeah, there's very few physical 1 shots I can't tank. And yes, armour is very weak atm. Still, at 32k, it makes the build feel extremely comfortable. Still alive in hcssf at 84. Only way I'll die is if I do stupid stuff (and I very well might!).

What do you do between 60 and 70 passive points? Do you just keep adding passive points until you hit a total of 70 for the respec?

Depends on how much money you have for respecc. If you're swimming in gold, temporarily put it wherever you feel it gives more value. If you're hard on gold, put it into points you'll already be using for the respecc.

[@skogst]

@@GrappLr Thanks for the reply

[@Zerhnam]

Meanwhile most famous streamers keep saying Armor/Hp is dogshit based on theorycrafting without really testing a tanky build. Thanks for keeping the tank aspect of the game alive and not going easy mode with the absurd ES "meta".

[@GrappLr]

They're not wrong in the sense that at the moment, Energy Shield is way better than HP. But that'll almost certainly be nerfed, or HP buffed.

[@SoulWraith101]

But they aren't wrong? As someone that always go warrior first, it's sad that it's literally the squishiest class in game atm. 3-4k hp is nothing. ES is the same as HP except people have it at 20k and can overflow it. They can take 7x the damage of a class named Titan that's supposed to be a tank melee

[@silvertorpedo4079]

for the 2 hander weapons are we looking for the same kind of weapon ? like only the ones with high melee levels

[@GrappLr]

Exactly, just that. And of course, you need to have the strength level to be able to wield it (3x stated str requirement when using Giant's Blood).

[@GIGAGIGACHADD]

@@GrappLr the problem with that I did the exact build but mana cost is 600 which is 2k health to cast 3 totem. how do I solve this problem?

@@GIGAGIGACHADD I 6 linked mine, then I use the 40% REDUCED cost for 6th link. And then, I get decent % regen off chest and tree. Feels pretty good.

[@gamerboy4566]

I was waiting for this update. Thanks for uploading. As for giant's blood, if I can get a pair of one handed maces with +5/+4 melee gem levels on them, I should not be needing the giant's blood, right? I am playing warbringer right now. Strength stacking is easier on Titans.

[@GrappLr]

Absolutely not needed. But keep in mind, having two +7s, vs two +5s, you'll have approximately double the damage, if not a little bit more than that. If you can live with less than that, yeah, giant's blood is absolutley not necessary. Just do as you said.

[@gamerboy4566]

@@GrappLr Thanks for the reply. Actually I was encouraged to think of using two one handed +4/+5 maces seeing how much damage you are doing with those two handed +4 maces. So until I can stack enough strength, I shall be using the two one handed maces.

[@brentamer2219]

This looks cool, might reroll my titan for bossing. I noticed your still running clarity with blood magic?? couldn't you just swap that for vit?

[@GrappLr]

Yeah, I removed it LOL. I'm actually missing 5 spirit for Vitality :(

[@brentamer2219]

I know you mentioned mana cost in video - however i have a totem build with +15 to melee skills, and the base life cost if I went blood magic would be like over 600 life per cast, i feel that you would have to drop a lot of defence/offence nodes just to spec into life reg to sustain if you want to get the max dam out of your totems. Your thoughts? Also when you weapon swap back to shield setup doesn't your totems do less damage or do they remain at the + to melee skills from your two hammers?

[@GrappLr]

That's why I run inspiration (40% cost reduction), and only occasionally swap into 6th damage support for a boss. Even with inspiration, you'll 1 shot everything in mapping almost. EDIT: As for second question, they not only maintain the + melee gems, they also maintain everything on Tree as well. SO yes, weapon swapping is the way to do it, there's zero downside.

[@Yolgumir]

This looks like fun!!!

[@Ugnutz]

You really the plus to weapon skills on your weapons to scale the totems and if your warbringer you could get the Turtle ascendancy to block everything? at a hit to block chance

[@russlmao7091]

Yes warbringer is better for this build, his warbringer died that's why he didn't do it again but it's better on warbringer, they even have ascendancy points for totems

[@Kaiserin669]

Thank you for the update, i have a question. Out of your 3 totems, is only one doing crits? Or they all crit at the same time? I understand that the first one to hit after you broke the armor is the only one that crits

[@GrappLr]

You’re correct. Only one crits. But they attack slower than you break armour, so if you summon them not in the same time, you get more crits than if u just had one

[@Kaiserin669]

@GrappLr thank you for answering, I'm definitely playing this build, thanks again

[@InfoRanker]

Why no resolute technique? Your damage will go way up since you're not crit based. It's only 1 point

[@GrappLr]

I'm literally crit based, Sunder is guaranteed crit. I only resolute technique until level 55+, when I swap.

[@Gethseme]

Hey, question. Why is Giant's Blood in the "all points" setup instead of just the totem points. Wouldn't it be better to, say, have the Tides of Change and Ancestral Alacrity clusters both in your All Points setup so you can get those bonuses while using Resonating Shield instead of just when you have your 2hers out? Just thinking of ways to optimize. Also, this way you can actually make some of those Strength nodes leading into red nodes red-only, since without Giant's Blood on your shield weapon swap, you don't need the extra strength to meet requirements.

[@leozac2198]

as far as i know you cant allocate the big nodes for weaponswappoints

[@GrappLr]

Giant's Blood is a keynote passive (big one). You can't put those to weapon points. Also, strength is kinda important for resonating shield, since it gives lots of max hp. I don't want to have lower hp when my shield is out. It also gives accuracy (from the strength to accuracy node), so that means that I want it not to miss resonating shield.

[@brentamer2219]

How does passive tree specialisation swap work for dam as well? You remove all the totem nodes in shield mode so do they keep doing the same dam as they were cast with weapon spec one? they still seem to do decent dam in shield mode. hmm - sorry just trying to gather lots of info before doing a big respec. I appreciate your time.

[@GrappLr]

Yes, they maintain anything they had when they were cast. They don't pay attention to your shield nodes if they were cast with weapon ones.

[@brentamer2219]

@@GrappLr ok cool, thanks for the info, hope your ssf journey is filled with luck

[@MrTruetrix]

Hey man, any reason you’re not using shockwave totems instead of ancestral warrior? They get amazing scaling from melee levels and quality. Im running a build that only uses shockwave totems and i summon them ahead of me to destroy anything. They attack even without a target and the damage doesnt have a delay like in sunder. Cheers!

[@GrappLr]

I think Sunder has better scaling end game. But shockwave scales very well too. Thing is, with +melee, you scale both Ancestral Warrior, and Sunder. You double dip in DPS scaling. Shockwave, you only scale Shockwave.

[@DreamHahe]

I have to said that boss, his flame throw is a instant kill in t18 when you have +4 boss difficult, so is the other boss. The armor doesn't work at all in end game. it deal like 7K physical damage + extra fire. Very frustrate with 22K armor and 90 fire resistance and 4500 Ehp, and it still can one shot easily. Be careful when the build reach higher, the damage scaling are way too high after T15, don't try to tank the boss hit in HC, unless have like 12k ES, blood base build can't really tank high damage, and is super easy to get stun. Doing armor build on hard core is so brave in EA testing.

[@GrappLr]

I'm aware that armour is definitely the weakest defensive at the moment. But because I'm SSF, I'm kinda stuck in Tier 12s/13s atm, due to having low chaos res. I can't buy better gear, so until I find some upgrades, I can't really move up without risking dyign to random chaos stuff.

[@Brutik5]

Is there something I don't know about Dual wiedling? Afaik every skill in Warrior tree has note "Deal 30% less damage dual wielding". Isn't it better to just use one two handed weapon with shield? Very nice build. My kinda sucks at boss damage so I need to improve it.

[@GrappLr]

We're using the +melee skill levels off the weapons. Totems don't use our weapons. It's just stat sticks.

[@Eas_Planeswalker]

@@Brutik5 The twohander with shield is 100%, dual wield is 70% ×2 = 140% 😉

[@voswouter87]

The less damage is to compensate for both weapons hitting. So instead of doing double the damage as dual wield, you only end up dealing 40% more damage.

[@dabmaste]

It means you deal 30% less damage than two handed weapons but with dual wield you can get more weapon affixes

[@voswouter87]

@@dabmaste Wrong, both weapons are hitting and don't do that much less damage than a 2h, so that's more damage. Also, with Giants blood you can dual wield two-handed weapons. So the comparison is mostly between using a shield or 2 weapons. Not so much dual wield or 2h.

[@FilthyHikikomori]

Very solid looking build. I wish the mini storage wasn't so janky on console.

[@GrappLr]

It's janky on PC as well.

[@popsnaro]

Am looking at the build planner but all i see is the weapons in the equipment slots. ???

[@GrappLr]

It's because that's the only requirement for the build. You just need +melee levels to gear. Ideally +7 to both weapons, +2 to gloves, and +3 to amulet. Everything else is simply strength, hp, resists, etc.

[@popsnaro]

@GrappLr i see. Appreciate that

[@Thomzombie303]

your build seems amazing, im only lvl 53 warrior titan, i seem to not be able to use the weapon skill points, unless i have a regular point to spend, then i can use one, but doesnt that seem off, why cant i spend the weapon skill points when there is not any regular points to use? Hope this makes sense..

[@GrappLr]

You need 1 regular skill point to use 1 of each weapon skill. So 24 regular points = 48 weapon points (24 of each).

Leveling uniques? It depends exactly what skills you plan on leveling with. There are many different leveling builds. If you're gonna level with Totems, the +1 to totems necklace is great. Also, anything in general that gives great resists (like goldrims) is awesome.

[@givepallydarksight7594]

what do you think about divesting from some of the armor nodes and going for unstoppable barrier, mass rejuvenation, defenders resolve, or vigilance? i feel like it would spread your defenses out a bit better to make you tankier.

you want your 2h skill tree to drop all defences and your 1h skill tree to drop all totem dps for defence, your totems get their DPS from when they are cast, which is with 2 x 2h weapons and plus 8-14 levels of skill gem level boost from the 2 weapons, your weapons auto swap when you cast totems and then auto swap back to 1h when you use resonating shield

[@RegalRexus]

@nznige No no I get how it works, but I don't understand why I just can't take all of these points and assign them as neither the first or second set. Like why not just do that? Is it because I get more passive points to work with freeing up more nodes I can get or?

Not true. My level 81 died to fireballs from those mages. They hit super hard, even with fireproofing. Now with 87% fire res + proofing, they tickle.

[@Dziodan]

@GrappLr you are right i thought it worked like poe 1 and armour was applied after elemental resistances but in poe 2 armour is applied before resistances (according to a guy testing on reddit) with poe 2 armour formula making the node basically useless

[@goto3336]

i have the problem, since i use weapon swap that my time of need healing is delayed or just doesnt work at all when i swap weapons, does anyone else has this problem?

[@GrappLr]

I have not paid attention, might be due to duration nodes on weapon swap. But I really don't care much about Time of Need. If I had a 6 Link scaveged plating, I'd drop the time of need entirely, and put all supports there probably.

how do you stack to 32k Armour?

hi, can i use this for leveling ?

I use shockwave totems until level 55ish. It's in the written guide.

I leap slammed into a meteor with 35% fire res... ouch😂

[@GrappLr]

Yeah, that'll rip!

[@_CRiT_hits_]

It's a nice build but it's just going to get one shot vs pinnacle content. Sadly armor just isn't a good defensive mechanism because of the scaling formula. +3 arbiter's basic attacks can deal over 5k phys damage and at your ~20,000 armor you're only going to get a 25% reduction in that should it hit. So you're definitely still in one shot territory with only 3k HP.

[@GrappLr]

Warbringer tanks it at 3k hp. As for Titan, he can tank it also if he’s 34k (max scavage stacks). If not max stacks, it depends on roll of boss hit. I have 3.4k hp atm. Thing is. I’m ssf. If I was trade, this character would have 6k + hp easily. There he tanks it no matter what.

Dude, warbringer has a turtle perk that allows you to block any damage except poisons and so on, even blocks AOE damage from bosses. take a closer look at him, why do you need this titan)

[@GrappLr]

I'm well aware, but that doesn't work when active blocking, which this build does. If I went that perk, I'd do an entirely different build, not resonating shield.

[@GrappLr]

huh?

[@CptLarry0815]

How do you feel about the fact that all that armor is basically useless and the unique body armor Cloak of Flame ALONE is equivalent to 40-45k armor for the oneshot hits ? In PoE2 you need around 12,5x the armor compared to the hit your take; that means to get a mitigation of lets say 70% on a 2k hit ... you need around 25k armor ... and thats not even factoring in the armor break or OVERWHELM mechanics. Please dont mislead people, especially new poe players, in thinking they can actually mitigate meaningful physical damage through armor.

[@GrappLr]

Everyone's aware of how Armour is scaling at the moment. But generally speaking, except for very specific 1 shots from bosses, random rare mobs never come close to 1 shotting. Falling skeletons, big fat dudes, etc. Hopefully though they'll buff armour post new years. Also, how am I misleading anyone?

[@CptLarry0815]

@@GrappLr In guiding ppl to spend currency towards armor gear when instead they just get cloak of flames and be done with it all together. The many small hits are taken care of by block anyway. Its just a useless stat to invest into.

He's not misleading people. I'm a new player and I want to live a tanky boy power fantasy. Is armor bad? Yes. Will it be better later? Probably. I am enjoying the play style. He's giving the best you can do with it now and I appreciate it. You didn't have to accuse him of being nefarious.

[@pspals6972]

I understand everyone’s frustration recently but we are just in a dip of form (circumstances add to that, injuries etc). Despite being in the worst form for 3 years, Chelsea, City, Liverpool couldn’t beat us and we have beaten Spurs away Villa away and United. We have also had 3 red cards, and we are now sat second despite all of that. How can anyone say sack Arteta it’s actually so stupid. Basically the only argument is because we haven’t won a trophy yet, getting another manager means we will. People would risk our best shot for literally 25 years on nothing - as arsenal fans we let rivals fans, media etc control how we think too much. The media and internet is actually so toxic about Arsenal and it’s got arsenal fans stressed.
