[@Zizaran]

Comment below to see which builds you'd like to see analyzed next! And let us know whether these practical examples help you understand how to scale/optimize builds in PoE.

[@leehilt2544]

I'd love to see the Guardian SRS league start be discussed as its my first real minion build and I"m loving it but Im much more lost than EA or LA etc

[@gunpen2003]

LA Deadeye. I don't know how to upgrade this build to run map smoothy.

[@Tenosyn]

Not an exact build but there are 2 confusing archtypes for newer players. Crit physical melee has to do a lot of different things to scale. STR and Attribute stackers do a lot of weird things to get damage.

[@K7Peter]

Would love to get detailed analysis on the Caustic Arrow of Poison build. Focusing on both Damage scaling and Defences. Thanks for the video!

[@marc-andreblais5818]

these examples were great but it would be even better if you had examples with numbers, for like the more vs increased damage

[@justswish9682]

The three things I would personally like to see is damage scaling for crit builds, elemental conversion (like when it is useful to actually convert for more damage), and overlapping damage which always confuses me (does this skill overlap? Is it useful to overlap? IDK).

[@brettwilliams124]

Crit is some of the easiest to scale. When you CAN go crit, you almost always should (aside from most DoT builds). You can get crit multi on neck, rings, weapons, quivers, jewels, tree, timeless jewel mods, cluster jewel notables, synthesis bases, some gloves. There’s TONS, and they affect ALL the primary damage. Phys converted to an element is also extremely strong. If you scale the physical damage and get “phys as extra x damage” it makes it an extremely potent mod. This is why Hatred is largely seen as the strongest offensive aura it gets scaled twice. There are quite a lot of situations where you can double or triple dip converted damage.

[@kylebusc3624]

I agree that the conversion and phys as extra mechanics can be confusing. I had to learn to make a cold BV explode build and it was awesome. I play it almost every league now

[@pocket779]

Got a pob? ​@@kylebusc3624

[@yammoto148]

When it comes to crit builds it depends on how often you hit the enemy. If you hit the enemy a lot like with Cyclone or Ball lightning (Although this is a spell so it will need spell crit) yeah you want crit because each hit can crit. But if you are playing a build that doesn't hit a lot like say Flame Blast you might want to scale base damage more than investing in crit as its very difficult to get 100% crit rate in Path of Exile and you don't want a big hit to miss its crit. Almost all bow builds want to scale their crit since projectiles can hit enemies a lot. When it comes to elemental conversion you should first see what skill you are using to see if it doesn't have an elemental conversion already built in. Like say Molten Strike already converts some of your damage to fire damage. Then determine if you need to go further and convert more. Most of the skills that want to convert their damage are skills that have a hard time scaling their own damage. Take for example Blade Vortex, which is a physical spell, where you can scale its damage by increasing your spell damage but none of your melee modifiers will apply to it, so its best to convert Blade Vortex to another element to scale it easier, the most popular being poison and going occultist or Assassin. As for overlapping damage what do you mean? Like Damage that cancels things out? Or do you mean you have two aoe spells hitting the same enemy?

[@justswish9682]

@@yammoto148 for the overlapping damage, I'm thinking of things like: poisonous concoction, explosive concoction, caustic arrow, etc... those skills that often utilize overlap to increase their single target damage. The problem I have is understanding when you would want to push for more AOE to get the overlaps versus scaling the damage instead. The other question with it would be what can ACTUALLY overlap because I was working with a trap build and I had good AOE but it didn't seem to get more damage where typically overlapping would in theory increase the amount of times hit. So that leads me to believe that some skills that look like they can overlap may not be able to I guess? That's kinda where I'm at on AOE and overlapping.

[@buruguduystunstugudunstuy1063]

do flicker, do it.

[@donner7708]

Flicker needs some love

[@satibel]

flicker is easy, get + max frenzy, paradoxica, and a shako with a high level ice bite (and a farrul) :p

[@lucaniquemaster]

Do flicker, do it

[@CleverRat]

This would be awesome

[@OperationHighAsKite]

Literally frenzy charges and hatred

[@aeryka]

Great video, I'd love to see a chaos DoT scaling video!

[@OperationHighAsKite]

same thing as ea explode just with.chaos dot,and sometimes attack speed/ arrows with caustic this league etc depends a bit on the skill

[@Fertizis]

Yes please

[@Calymos]

THIS

[@GUKilljoy]

I LOVE this series idea - helps out with those who are above a minimum level of understanding but still want to bridge into a better understanding of the builds themselves and making the endgame switch easier.

[@Vedthrfolnir]

Explaining how to choose defensive layers when designing a new build would be helpful. How to choose which types of defenses and how many to stack.

[@Mach1019]

Would love to see how to properly scale any Poison Pathfinder builds (Toxic Rain, Caustic Arrow, Scourge Arrow).

[@bonez994]

Important note: toxic rain is NOT a poison skill. It is a chaos damage over time, poison damage/chance etc will not scale TR damage

[@Mach1019]

@@bonez994 goes to show how much I need this guide. Lmao

[@m.h.4907]

You scale all builds the same. Replace your tree with perfect rolled clusters. GG you won the game

[@brunoc330]

YES. Scourge arrow best skill ever, no cap. I league start every time

[@WhatWasInbetween]

As a CA Pathfinder struggling on T9 maps I NEED this so bad

[@kenallsop7502]

I'm really enjoying these tutorials for Affliction, been great to see some more in-game (or in-PoB) examples of you working with the systems. Super helpful!

[@XavierShade]

I love this particular subject. The parts about the fuses and how crit doesn't scale the ignite were extremely helpful! I'd love to get some more insight on minions and things like self curse.

[@FatalisReigns]

Hey Ziz, i love the idea of this series because i often find myself trying to do research on how to scale different builds im not familiar with, and there is a LOT of misinformation out there lol. I would love to see you do a video covering a bleed build and a poison build and show us how they scale differently with things like attack speed, physical vs chaos and especially with this league, how elemental builds can poison with tinctures how that can scale too. thanks!

[@sanarity9322]

I've been using your explosive arrow league starter this league so this video helped me a ton! Would love to see more videos like this.

[@Sharkey007x]

thanks much for this! The PoB walkthrough of how to test what would be best increases for your build was supremely helpful. Would love to see more on more intricacies of PoB. How to scale ignite/burning non-straight damages. How to get immunities to all the different things, and in general things to look for on the tree for great things to boost your survivability.

[@analogmunky6608]

This is a great video and I would love to see this format for loads of popular builds. The problem is... many builds are so individual that you would be making a fair amount of videos to cover them. However, for casual vets like me and for newer players especially, this would go a long long way to demystifying many of the popular builds and how they work. Things like Righeous fire, Toxic rain, various ice builds, how crit affects certain mechanics, other interesting mechanics like builds that use crits but not to crit! Minion builds, builds centered around specific uniques, builds that work best without uniques, manaforged builds, CI builds... the list goes on, and on, and on... and I want to understand them all!!!!

[@J1ggyPoo]

I'd love to see a "melee" video. Maybe the differences in scaling when using different skill, like steel skills or slam skills. Also going from campaign to early maps to endgame.

[@MyNameIsSalo]

melee is far too broad of a topic tbh, like you have slam/big aoe hit builds, projectile based melee builds (MS, spectral helix, spectral throw, lightning strike), general cry builds, true melee strike builds, fake melee spell caster proc builds. And those can be further categoried each into different methods of scaling damage like rage stacking, stat stacking, crit, poison, ignite, bleed. I've just listed effectively like 20 build archetypes under "melee" and each of those archetypes have many many different variations.

[@Zizaran]

We have to keep these videos on a build-by-build basis, a whole archetype is a bit too broad. For example, scaling Boneshatter and scaling Lightning Strike are two entirely different beasts that can't be put together. Sorry! -Skryah

[@lagarttemido]

​@@Zizaran Boneshatter, please.

[@denkedenk]

Very nice and helpful video, especially liked the Elemental Overload explanation and the Spirit note, why one would take it in the early game and such. Two things that I would like to see: 1) Boneshatter build as it is the most prominent melee build right now and 2) The process of when you guys start to make a starters build, just the theoretical stuff, would be nice to understand how one decides on a good build and what it needs to function. Your channel is one of two that has explained the game in enough detail yet beginner friendly that I could start messing with my own builds, so thank you. Keep up the good work!

[@oprisiosif2159]

Thank you so much for these, Ziz! I would love to see more about the big build types (melee, minion, spells, htbrids, etc)

[@luka188]

I would love to see a video on crit scaling of any kind (Like Lightning arrow, or any other crit based skill)

[@Keifer--]

I have learned SO MUCH. I’m playing an Ignite elementalist this league rn and all of that burning arrow info just helped me so much. thanks Z

[@arcanegann9865]

Knowing how builds scale and having a walkthrough for anything instead of dealing with the information overload of seeing PoB calcs for the first time is amazing

[@tunes77]

this is amazing. it's always been hard for me to figure out what things scale damage for some builds.

[@flosthebos]

Love this video, helps a ton! Would love if you could do a video on plugging tank holes and recognizing stuff that kills you quick on maps.

[@benmiller2334]

This league got me into theorycrafting. It would be great to see you good through POBs from us and guide us how to make wacky ideas viable/possible

[@Urlik17]

I have watched over 100 hours of your content videos and this video hands down helped me understand how to maker my character better. I added over 1.2 million damage to my explosive arrow build in SSF. More content like this would be awesome.

[@Howardwhoknows8]

I didn't know how to use the custom mod box like you did. I knew it existed but didn't know how versatile it was. It would be interesting to see you go over your league starters and how they scale to try and turn them into their end game versions.

[@hugomorgado6816]

Hi Ziz, I think what helps me the most from the video are the random tips you mentioned here and there. One being to test custom modifiers in the config tab. This is my 3rd league and I’ve learned a lot but the best thing for me is just being reminded/told of the tools I have in the programs I use. Another example being you can quickly loook at the divine ratio on awakened poe in the top left without going to the trade site

[@hugomorgado6816]

Oh also the way damage interacts with each other was super helpful. I find that looking up that type of information can sometimes be confusing or hard to understand so covering topics like how or if or even what can affect your damage is good to know. Since I’m typing an essay, also knowing what items that look good but are cringe would be cool too. I thought the bow that you showed (@2:06) was great until the comparison with the better bow.

[@limbu6237]

Really liked the video! I would really appriciate if you can show how to scale Toxic Rain ballistas and/or Hexblast mines! Keep up the hard and good work!

[@codyscoggins3489]

Super informative and helpful setting for the frame of mind.

[@zacharymichael9718]

This seems like a great idea for a series. Personally, I'd like to see a video about minion scaling in general, or perhaps SRS specifically. I know on the surface, they're mostly about getting gem levels or just more of them (+number of specters), but whenever I've tried non-SRS minions, they typically get wrecked in later maps.

[@matthiasdurivet3573]

Cool idea, I'm definitely trying to learn pob right now. I think it would be useful to explain concepts like damage buckets with a super simple level 1 skill.

[@mariod.1690]

omg this is exactly what i was looking for. a very good idea for a tutorial.

[@gamerboy4566]

Thanks for starting this awesome series.

[@drewmaras1636]

I'd like to see an in depth explanation about the different types of dots and how they work. Poison stacks, ignites take the biggest ignite etc. I feel a lot of new players get confused by how dots behave differently and why

[@PolishedX]

I did NOT knew that!

[@Jiggerjaw]

The special box in PoB is a huge game changer, thanks for that tip man, greatly appreciate you.

[@Skorpioartex]

Don't have a particular build in mind since you already covered ignite this video but I would definitely want to see more of these videos.

[@samuelfomoadams4612]

Really cool vid Ziz, never knew how to properly use the custom section in POB, and now I do thanks to you. My question: How can one use all damage can poison and scale it in a build?

[@Efibe8]

Hi ziz, I'm having a lot of problems with the defensive layer. I play softcore and I've died more than 300 times in this league... I can barely level. I wanted to know if you could make a video dedicated to defensive layers, how we can make the char a little less killable.

[@MrFuckingKololo]

The biggest advice for defences is to properly roll your maps and to be careful with eldritch altars. It's very easy to make monsters deal like 5-6 times more damage than they should with just a map mod and a couple altars. Especially dangerous if you don't have a lot of chaos resistance and end up clicking the exarch altars that give mobs chaos damage.

[@WhittleDragon]

Only 300 times? Shit, I had that in the story mode. Am I proud of that fact? No! But even if you’re nearly unkillable, ride that line baby boy, it’s where the fun is at. A defensive video would be cool, but I think it’s just utilizing the layers you have available naturally and supplement the other with either broken defensive items or dark tech like a res flask to be super cheeky if you’re targeting a problem.

[@schnappsundbier2096]

Most players likely had this problem at the start of the league. You can play guardian with bare minimum items and make it all the way to elder.

[@matthewwilliams431]

Great video. Been playing for years and have always wondered why so many builds use skitterbots. You talked a bit about crit here but didnt go into too much detail so I would love to see an explanation for a cast on crit build using cyclone with ice nova or ice spear. Complicated build but I followed a guide last season and had a ton of fun with it.

[@swiftbow2110]

Really great video. I discovered the HASTE aura for minions. I will never do another minion build without it now. Haste on top of all the other attack and move speed from the tree and offerings puts your minions on crack. Love it.

[@ralfrav4668]

I am a very experienced player and still learnt some very helpfull things, great video!!!

[@sethfayner5215]

Love this video. Not sure if you explained already but I've always been confused when a gem says "effectiveness of added damage" and then it gives a percentage. Not really sure what this means and I think, if you haven't already, explaining this in one these videos would be super helpful! Thanks Ziz.

[@Elimino_P]

Man, I'm so glad we have people like you who make builds for us. I only play a couple hours a week. I like spending that time in the game, not "playing" spreadsheets in POB.

[@cackscrew]

Great videos, does there happen to be something like a flowchart out there for scaling? Like if DOT, focus on these for damage scaling, if hit, focus on these for scaling. And maybe tiers of scaling to go with it?

[@Tom-qt6ms]

Thank you so much for this Video!

[@chrisclaugus5129]

Big help :) next video explain the ins and outs of the different damage types. How they effect each other, does all cold damage chill, etc.?

[@j.d.6915]

Crit based builds like Tornado shot! This video, no joke, is one of the most useful videos I've seen in a long while.

[@abebuckingham8198]

You always remind me to get a level 20 gem as fast as I can so I've been running lab on SSF for the extra experience early. Got a 20% quality level 21 gem before I got to 75.

[@kkplx]

interested in seeing your take on scaling the various stages of tornado shot, especially smaller upgrades that someone whose guide says "get a mageblood lol" might be able to incrementally upgrade some of the "big currency" builds

[@TheBullshit]

The modifier box was something very new and important for me. Would love to have a video about increasing survivability, because atm i'm most definetly dying more than you ^^

[@Elex127]

I love this series. Please do more.

[@andrewbako9494]

Id love a general overview of creating a build using POB...what boxes to click, how to know the best gem combo since pob isnt perfect, how to decide the best tree pathing for leveling mid/end game...a series would be amazing

[@tanklike4413]

I like these vids. These calculations really help to understand how the game works. For the next one, could you do a skill similar to bladefall+blade blast? Where the skill dps might not seem high, but you effectively get like 20+ casts/s off of each skill use. Like...how do we calculate or optimize the damage? Especially when dot's are applied by those overlapping skills

[@timati78rus]

Finally you did this video !!! Can you make a build creating guide, please!

[@fernandopires135]

honestly this start has been better than most build guides for me most of the time people start talking about leveling before explaining what is most important about the build, which has always turned me off watching them At the very least, now I know that explosive arrow is about stacking max numbers of explosions and that is more important than 15% ignite multiplier Also, I had never noticed that box in the config section. I'll start using it right now to check ES vs Light. dmg on my energy blade build. Thanks Ziz!

[@DaJodad]

Dunno why but I could literally listen to Ziz explain anything and just be infinitely entertained

[@Frozen_Hope]

This is pretty much exactly what I'm look for as I'm playing your SRS and I'm just lost for what upgrades to go for constantly

[@UngaBunka]

Love your EA build and your guides. Its very good. Keep up the good work :)

[@papyschulys]

I would like to see is a physical bleed bow build. I'm always confused on how bleeds and what modifiers are really worth to take! Great serie idea you got there!

[@zepapage6022]

Thank you!

[@18Sleven]

I have always struggled with Phys builds like Champion and Slayer. I get really lost when it comes to Weapon DPS/DPS/Crit/Etc and how a skill like Cyclone/Cleave/Reap utilize those stats. Also how to add Bleed or Poison on top of that would be nice to learn.

[@LessThan3___]

I really like this video idea and would love to see how melee builds could scale. Its maybe a popular opinion that melee is "dead", but i think melee is an interesting concept to explain to newer and a more casual audience how melee builds would scale their damage. (Besides crit and better (p)dps weapons). Can't wait to see the next video

[@MaximusAutismus]

Hey Ziz, might wanna try taking a look at energy blade once again and seeing how the builds for it has evolved.

[@wallacechan4534]

Really good video!

[@HorrorBr1nger]

Custom mod column highlight in POB was very helpful... i was struggling with build creation by re-specking tree or scrolling items with intended mods, instead of just write them by hand and THEN by comparison find on gear or spec on skill-tree exactly how much i need

[@destroyermaker]

One of your most useful videos for sure

[@ozprey]

Would love to see how you would approach an elemental hit iceshot build!

[@Veedotme]

Does anyone have a list of the Custom Modifiers true text? Some of the modifiers I type verbatim to the skill tree give no result (for example, "Overwhelm 20% damage reduction")

[@BAYET5]

I would love to know more about coc builds, I love them but every time I have issues scaling the crit chance with crit multiplayer and also with CD of triggered spells, thank you for the video this helped me a lot.

[@joshuawhere]

On the last question, stuff we didn't know, the thing about typing things in the box of PoB, I had no idea about that :)

[@Arhan3l]

I would like to see stuff like Wild strike or any other multi ele damage skill that can use stuff like trinity, ele pen or even use conversion.

[@benfunovits4720]

Love this content! Thank you! I would like to see how you choose crit vs Non-crit (why?), Melee bleed/leech/regen pros and cons, starting from scratch (choose a gem? ascendancy? find a cool unique?), also I would love a noobs guild to endgame, been playing 5 years and never killed shaper ect, play with me with an endgame idiot-proof guide. Take care!

[@muenzis]

Loved that!

[@victorholbak3585]

would love to see it done on the toxic rain guide :D

[@jaehwang9674]

i had crit dagger poison attack builds, many leagues back, when u could scale more elusive effects (and when it was op :D). Effectiveness of Dot Multi : Increase Dmg was close to 1 : 1. it does happen :P

[@rainblue8005]

This is very good series. I like to learn from ziz, he explains perfectly. I play now toxic rain by ziz and would like to hear more about it. Or about poisons. Now we have charms which makes your attacks always do poison. So can you scale poisons on most skills?

[@kallistax]

Power charge/crit builds I've been playing for about a year and feel pretty comfortable with other people's build guides and adapting them a little to my own style and the diff leagues but this league I'm planning to make my first build by myself planning an arc or arc of oscillating power charge crit build. As well would love to know about other charge related builds that are interesting

[@nllg1273]

Would love to see a general overview of how to build tanky for the end-game, especially on ascendancies that are not innately defensive (eg. elementalist) I know the basics of deter+grace+defiance+suppresion shell - but if you want to build very sturdy?

[@deluezian_helix]

Yeah I absolutely love this idea and would suggest SRS for the next one.

[@uwust]

i wanna see spesifically how to scale reap in different scenarios, totem builds, and how to set up proper defensive layers and how ES and Life differs and how melee and spell casters, binds into how you build said defensive layers. last part is what i want the most

[@bobiwobi15]

Would def like to see hit builds or even self cast scaling.

[@Valliance1]

This would really help Ziz, i have been making my own builds for a long time and I have personally never been able to break 1-3 million dps on a spell crit build, and dont even get me started on melee builds, never get past 600k. Right now I'm doing divine ire of desintegration inquisitor low life and im sitting at 2.8 mil on my PoB.

[@theashenverdict1629]

Could you do a damage scaling or optimal build for minions video for 3.23? For instance if its better options to either go pure spectre because of the new league mechanic allowing you to carry around and store spectres or would going zombie, skeleton, or just everything mashed together depending on the situation. Find myself doing a bit of everything, but im not sure if its better to just focus on one or the other for specific styles of maps or bossing. Would be interesting to see if its worth going more minion damage or minion attack speed over survivability and how much that changes the capabilities for the content played.

[@yurf0]

Would love to see Tornado Shot scaling - especially with the bonus to chain off terrain with the new charms.

[@MyNameIsSalo]

omni, stack projectiles, take dmg and crit on tree, thats TS scaling. It's one of the more straight forward builds

[@richardroyster405]

I enjoy learning how the game works, especially things like this.

[@vaapad]

Love the idea for the video, really need to learn more about scaling (also defences) after 2k hours in PoE still feel like a new player a lot of times. Some feedback: 1:58 when you explain these 2 different bows, you lost me halfway through because the explanation was about attack speed, then you switched the config from hit by lightning to hit by fire without saying why or how this matters in the context. Going back and forth in this section, pausing to see the items what I'm guessing is: The first bow didnt have any ele damage (assuming the lightning dmg comes from elsewhere), the second one had fire damage which probably overrides something else in the build. Not sure if I'm just dumb or still that unknowing with some PoE things or if others can relate to my thought process. Anyways, keep it up Ziz!

[@elendarulianreo]

Probably Elemental Equilibrium.

[@naneekad3960]

i really really want to like this game and invest more down time into it, for enjoyment. ive beaten act 10 as a necromancer and feel like i havent even scratched the surface in the complexities of it yet though. im currently kind of just farming maps on the map device , and researching ways to craft/farm better gear.. let alone trade. i have so many questions wish one of my buddies played

[@PerplexedYT]

Could you go over how to transition between builds? like Lightning Arrow to Tornado Shot

[@edgartheslayer3]

Hey Zizaran. Is there a way to make self cast EA with a triple flat ele damage mods at least close or even on par with your ignite build? Mainly focusing on making attack speed matter and using reduced duration gem to have explosions trigger faster, instead of relying on stacks?

[@sirmisterm]

I’d like to understand which stats scale damage in bonesharrer juggernaut. I have built according to your guide from .22. It’s served me very well. Do I have to switch bills to that heavy unique build that is on Max roll? Or is there a way I can understand and scale it out with self crafted items?

[@snipu514]

AWESOME VID AS ALWAYS, AS A NEW PLAYER I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOU ! PLEASE COVER BONEZONE SCALING BECAUSE BONEZONE IS THE ONLY VIABLE BUILD ZUG ZUG

[@yinongxu9355]

How to attribute scaling. Context: I have played COC energy blade spellblade for 2 leagues and I really enjoied the complex scaling and decision making process to min-max the build. Most of my time spent on making the build tankier since COC have enough damage already, and I really want someone like you who had a lot experience on balancing damage vs defense. Energy blade cuts ES in half which makes defense a lot harder to fix. I also REALLY want to hear your opinion on possible choices of COC trigger skills apart from cyclone: e.g. spectral throw and lancing steel of spraying offers COC in range, which can makes Uber boss fight felt so much nicer, however I don't know how to correctly test them in POB.

[@marc-andreblais5818]

how to scale damage for traps and mines would be cool. Im working on a explosive trap build but its kinda hard to know where to go to scale damage

[@bogdanvasiliu1931]

i'd really like to know how to scale minion builds. not really good at the game, and it's hard to see your minions damage and how they interact with added elemental or convert physical to elemental etc. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I’d like to see a build that breaks down added damage effectiveness for skills and has damage conversion involved. Perhaps an ethereal knives conversion to cold build?

[@lukasbeck5845]

Brand Builds would be interesting to see, for example Armageddon Brand

[@kendvp8208]

I would like to see damage conversion builds. Like a physical to fire build, do you get more damage by adding physical increases or fire increases? Or is it the same? Is there any double dipping going on when you do a damage conversion, such as with a cold to fire maybe. That always confused me.

[@madhatt0r819]

Hexblast (Miner) always looked a bit different for Damage Scaling, would love that Build as Example

[@danjon1099]

Just started a Splitting steel Champ build, need to find out if it scales better crit or resolute technique
