Update: Forgot to add flask effect because of Magi node and changed the tree slightly because of this, dropped the sword nodes that gave crit and took more damage / energy shield.
This is not setup like my normal guides, there is basic information on how to calculate the Zenith hit in the notes.

If you're interested in the math behind 600 Million+ Damage in one hit it is based off of my current character: Number of hits is Projectiles x Multistrike Total hits (3 for normal, 4 for awakened) x 2 (Nimis) = Total Hits 11 Projectiles x 4 Awakened Multistrike hits x 2 = 88 Hits My average Damage when buffed for a Pinnacle boss is 7,812,944~ 7,812,944 x 88 = 687,539,072 This of course will only work for very large bosses and smaller enemies will not get hit by all projectiles.

[@thrawn-ys9hf]

say "one hit does X damage" clearly show that you are counting more than one hit. pure clickbait.

[@MySton3rCharm]

is this dead for 3.24?

[@Badgerwithcrocs]

Best part of the build is that you look like a jedi !

[@ChrisWells]

I've been really struggling with Ruthless League until coming across this video. Was lucky enough to get a 6-link sword and went straight to work on this build and am very pleased with it. Thank you!

[@APJ9000]

Found your channel from the kinetic bolt video. I want to commend you for your leveling and wand crafting videos too, cause they taught me so much with affliction being my second league. Doubt I'll get to this build, but looking forward to seeing a starter build from you for the next league in the future.

[@BlackRuffy17]

Finally someone did it. Thanks a lot for that!

[@flgh366]

@Big Ducks You sir, are a build savant. Your builds are simply the most interesting and fun to play. I have now done 3 of your builds, and i am having a blast.. This also looks fun, but i doubt i can manage to do another char this league.

[@jdg_9]

This looks epic well done

[@mrwookie4466]

Your background lights is awesome btw!

[@wuurlii]

Just dropped a mirror with the bois, adding into my current bank I think you just brought this build to my eyes right when I needed it

[@imjwmka]

Nice idea! I thought this could also work with nicely with Voice of the Storm + Precise Tech + Sniper mark

[@MyNameIsSalo]

does snipers even work properly with molten strike? forking outward into 10 projectiles then nimis'ing back? if it does then its like a 10x damage multiplier, assumably it doesnt work because he would be using it

[@joaksannan551]

The split does not work. The massive projectile damage bonus still applies.

[@Mink0twink]

Not sure if you have an open socket on the build, but if you do you could add frost wall to trap fleeing enemies.. it’s a literally physical barrier

[@karma9511]

Was gonna ask if you could maybe try the crest of desire energy blade tech with this, but then I remembered that for trickster especially, the socket pressure is just way too miserable if you're doing maji. I guess the better way to go about it would probably be charms instead, either on trickster or maybe inquis/hiero? Either way, I think it's usually better than diallas, unless you're going all in on being a total glass cannon.

[@metaphysgaming7406]

im new in poe , i will copy this build ! look so cool like jedi

[@thelitchfieldexperiment6269]

Can one equip that unique ezomyte axe with a shield? The one that counts as two handed, but only occupies one hand? Cause thatd be interesting to pair with a squire, and take "sword-n-board" passies and shield charge.

[@alexdettmann6052]

Could it be? An attack based energy blade build? Ive wanted one of these since that gem came out

[@fersew9996]

Question what do you think about take the firestorm bm build that you play the last league and try that in affliction, I try to use your build an play something similar but I have problem with the defense, de damage for the moment is 15M normally and 3.5M agains uber bosses (the defenses in the last league you tattos, so I dont know what to do to improve them in this league)

[@tempestSH]

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to make this work with mageblood, or if I should just sell to get a headhunter lol. losing the dying sun and bottled faith is pretty rough.

[@iKnowMungFu]

Very cool

[@LePtitLavies]

Will we be able to play a similar build as a 3.24 league starter?

[@chrispierce1454]

Maybe I'll play around with it for fun, already have a trickster for Penance brand.

[@deceiver444]

Brutal

[@lukaszbrykalski9126]

I swap my MF tornado shot. For kinetic bolt and this build is super satisfying . For maping and farm curency works perfect

[@UncleJay69]

Earthquake of amplification technically can have ~2000% or even more "more multiplier".

[@xTobsecretx]

Wait I thought ruthless explicitly doesn’t work like you said with multi strike?

[@bullhayato9078]

can i start lg with this build bro? it look really cool with 2hand energy blade ...

[@mateuszswidrak5868]

Is it possible to start this build and get going with 20div in necro league?

[@mcwmoose22]

can we get an updated version for 3.24?

[@BestM0nster]

any leveling guide pls?

[@Athacalus]

It kills. No more explanation needed.

[@nisss9946]

Do you think it could be somewhat squeezed as a league starter, even without oaji thingy? I just can't help it, being a jedi in poe is something that I always dreamed of!

[@anthonyodom7691]

Oath of maji is great early game and you get it early game

[@MrTastix]

Old video is old but I can say you've possibly seen a bigger more multiplier in your lifetime: pre-nerf Facebreaker. Depends if you played during beta or not, I guess, lol. Minimum used to be 800% more.

[@CssHDmonster]

edge of madness build....i almost forgot this weapon existed. NOOOOOOOO ITS NOT USED IM DUMB, AAAAAAAAAA

[@pausagreba289]

does fortification necessary ? or not ?

[@dimitarangelkovski9877]

I like this alot.. zenith is cool.. would be even cooler if it was every 3 hits

[@marcinmichalik5040]

Did you try Fatal Flourish with it? Awakened multi gives you 4 repeats, Fatal Flourish gives you one more and 60% more on final repeat = every attack is a 5 times repeat and you get the 60% more :)

[@Lardbutt200]

he's a trickster

[@marcinmichalik5040]

@@Lardbutt200 yeah, I realised it after posting. But he does not have to be a trickster :p

[@w4zz_yt]

​@@marcinmichalik5040trickster is how he's getting so much es..

[@sirzbigniew]

Thanks for the video :). Do you like this build more than your kinetic bolt deadeye ?

[@BigDucks]

They're very different builds, I think this one is kind of interesting and it uses a concept that is relatively novel so I enjoy it. It feels okay for Ubers and Simulacrum but the Kinetic Bolt build is probably overall a much better build. We will see how that holds up once I put some effort into the full guide / Mageblood etc.

[@sirzbigniew]

I see thanks :) @@BigDucks , i almost managed to replicate your kinetic bolt build now im saving up to buy a base to craft a wand. Can't wait to have the build fully operational ^_^

[@MrGryphonv]

Add in charms for up to +3 projectiles

[@w4zz_yt]

Add in charms and lose half your es?

[@BlackLyondreamworks]

how much did it cost to make this???

[@MrSlothrun]

no sniper's mark?

[@coldliferp7250]

Is evasion ration a better deffense mechanic than armour?

[@Phrozic]

Armor is generally better imo, but on this build body armor gets a lot of energy shield becuse of trickster ascendancy. Evasion enables spell suppression on gear also.

[@dragonofthesky9999]

i doubt it but i have been looking for a build lately that no one has done yet. with the charms and that which was taken jewel you can get 160% onslaught effect, 100% raider tree, 100% from a chest piece, 90% from flask (mb), and then like 60% more frim tree which gives u 500% onslaught effect, i want to make a build around this but just suck at building my own builds. can u point me anywhere (prefibly a cyclone build) that utalizes it this league for a juiced mapper and bosser?

[@nicholasbrucker7985]

If you wanted to double dip on all of that onslaught you can do an attack totem build with Wilma's.

[@Vulgaels]

Attack Wilma, ballista or mele totems, really good since you can get totems taunt on charms now

[@MrCoonicon]

You need some char for this high onslaught effect look as splitting steal assassin ore deadeye and you can build

[@dragonofthesky9999]

@@MrCoonicon was also hoping to maybe raider and do frenzy stacking as well just to make it even more halarious, then again i could just do pathfinder for more flask effect

[@dragonofthesky9999]

@@Vulgaels yeah out of all things this si sadly prob going to be my best bet is just doing a totem build instead of an actual attk build

[@user-ty9lw3uo2c]

Is it possible to make it has more than 200,000 ehp with better gear ?

[@BigDucks]

With a Mageblood setup maybe? I'm gonna work on that later but it is going to be very expensive and at the cost of some of the damage, we will see.

[@user-ty9lw3uo2c]

Thank you! Nice vid btw. 🎉

[@moregenies1]

My only issue with builds like this is it always seems super simple and its portrayed as easy to do then you see its got timeless jewels and specific watchers eyes and that which was lost. All these builds are good but the average player wont have that stuff

[@sc0rp404]

3.24 viable or dead?

[@alejandroquintanafernandez8351]

still viable in 3.24?

[@colonelJ77]

ZEEnith...Znith

[@MarceloSperger]

How is the budget realistically speaking? 200+ div? Or you can get this running for cheap?

[@MrSeagallo]

Nimis and adorned are probably the most expensive items. Nimis goes for 40div, adorned.... Can go as high as a mirror

[@MrKozlosPL]

2x 40 div nimis, awakened multistrike is like 115div. easy 200+ div for the showcase version.

[@user-ty9lw3uo2c]

what if we change molten strike to flicker strike 🤔

[@alexandrurazvandumitru5744]

you ll attack with a cooldown

[@Simon-zu2rb]

I'm more curious on what his MTX setup was on this character...

[@ICANTLOLW]

+1

[@Spyda580]

returning projectiles count as having traveled maximum distance so Point Blank does no favours for you there.

[@llHungLowll]

It's a very relative build.

[@ScardelatoT]

Any gem swap for better clear?

[@w4zz_yt]

I imagine lightning strike would work. Could feel weird with nimis though.

[@nach4642]

tickling... that was respectable dps, then it was broken dps, then it went back to respectable haha

[@Phayze87]

Everyone always says leagues are raining money, I made a self ignite fulcrum build, ran several fully juiced maps with sextants, scarabs, and around 4.5 - 7k wisps and I haven't dropped a single divine monster. I've had a random divine drop in my map, but no loot splosions or any of the other stuff ppl are talking about. RNG is still RNG, I'm glad yours is working but not everyone has good leagues like someone like you who understands it more indepth.

[@jdtesch86]

Every streamer says "infinite money infinite money" and I just can't seem to get there :/

[@puru721]

Hmm too late for this build already waiting for new season xD

[@MrCoonicon]

Mhm awer gloves + one awer sword and you will have +4 projektiles + awer char +2 to + the flask trick you have one more so you can have 7 projektiles more thif low invest xd

[@biduMandias]

Can't wait for this league to end already, to be pretty honest... lol

[@Nimblenicky]

Couldn't you just focus all on attack speed to get to that 5th attack as fast as possible

[@BigDucks]

But then I can't say that I'm hitting for like hundreds of millions of damage at once Realistically if you want it to attack extremely fast I think you build it very differently. This setup is focused on the one shot because it ends up being best for Ubers and such imo.

[@Nimblenicky]

@@BigDucks I understand, do you think this could be built as a solid all around build with attack speed instead of just scaling more damage to the moon? I've never played energy blade so I'm unsure how easy it is the fit in all the damage/defensive layers. Might be tricky without chest links

[@sadyakubovich]

what are you trying to prove with not making the most obvious cheap upgrades like enhance lvl 4, especially this league, I don't get it

[@YakultLitro]

is 5th shotting everything*

[@ICANTLOLW]

mtx set pls?

so glad its not just me, click bait ofc, still i wouldnt be able to do a 100th of this build so WD (still feel cheated tho)

[@ICANTLOLW]

armour mtx name? please

[@MckaiserDragon]

poe is too big brain for me

[@aw2031zap]

A cool build, but it feels like it would have no defense even with Trickster? 2h melee and ES? lol

[@Vulgaels]

As long as you attack, you live haha

[@MrCoonicon]

Trickster is one of the best tanks 😅 then you understand you will have one

[@Vulgaels]

@MrCoonicon hard to solve phys damage but for the rest yea

[@MrCoonicon]

@@Vulgaels the solve of phys dmg is to get all dmg as chaos :)

[@Vulgaels]

@@MrCoonicon hows that even possible?

[@stojo007]

My dude, your annunciation is terrible. It's "zee-nith" and "nem-is". I stopped at 2:35 because I couldn't watch further. All uber bosses have a degrading damage reduction at the start of the fight, it has nothing to do with your 5th attack ramping. All that being said, it's a super cool build. Well done.

[@amzarnacht6710]

Must be nice to be able to sit around 8+ hours a day doing this stuff.
