Path of Exile 2: IS THIS BROKEN? (WARRIOR BUILD)

[@Khaathus]

They didn't nerf it directly, they fixed the bugged behavior where it was chaining multiple mobs. Now it only triggers on the enemy that has been hit directly. So with skills like stampede it still works. As for auto attacks that is another story.

[@ЗверевКонстантин-ц3ж]

can you stop misleading people in comments please? now its just slight aoe bonus to stampede and thats it. No chain exposions for whole screen. Maybe now its not even worth investing into armour explosion at all, which is the point of your video.

[@Khaathus]

@@ЗверевКонстантин-ц3ж Misleading. I’m currently using it right now and it works fine. Maybe try it out and see for yourself.

[@brokentv1855]

@@Khaathus is it specifically only armor break that’s causing the fire looking explosion? Non of my other skills have that visual Edit: I’m on Xbox series s and I’m not getting those nice looking firey explosions I’m thinking it’s my gems or Xbox can’t handle all those visuals? Edit: I only have armor break on stampede but even then it the visuals aren’t the same as yours

[@ЗверевКонстантин-ц3ж]

@@Khaathus wdym by works fine? its chaining? i am using it for damage, but clear is definitely worse and i dont see any chain explosions.

[@Khaathus]

@ Right. It’s not hitting mobs from a mile away anymore but it still works well. As long at mobs are on the screen they all still pretty much get nuked. I can make another video I guess.

[@isxl-iy2gk]

Wtf i was literally just watching ur viseo 2 mins ago, i love heavy type builds lmao and u jjst uploaded

[@Khaathus]

@@isxl-iy2gk haha. I love heavy builds too.

[@Talerk]

Can we break armour by leap slam? I tried devastate support, but it doesn't work with leap slam for some reason

[@Khaathus]

@@Talerk Leap doesn’t work very well with this. Especially after the slight nerf. It still works well with Stampede

[@Vini_fortuna]

A question: Is it worth putting armor break if you already have armor break on stun? I know it applies to other skills, but is it worth it?

[@Khaathus]

@@Vini_fortuna Depends on how your current build is doing while hitting mobs and Bosses. If you already have the armor break I don’t see the reason why you should invest more points into it.

[@DeathScythe555]

What skin you using?

[@Khaathus]

@@DeathScythe555 Skin? Just normal armor.

[@guyjorstad8417]

Question for you about the build in general (not the armor explosion) : since you went all in on converting physical to fire damage, does armor break have any benefit on bosses? New to POE in general but I was thinking that all of your damage would be hitting the boss' fire resistance so reducing it's armor wouldn't have any benefit. Just wondering as I consider which ascendency to go down.

[@Vini_fortuna]

Good question. There are passives that increase damage when armor is broken, and the gem that guarantees critical hits, including fire damage

[@guyjorstad8417]

@@Vini_fortuna Understood. So the damage ramp-up is sacrificed as the armor is "being broken" ... but the payout is the burst damage in the "broken armor" window.

[@eilir7736]

Neat skill, I wish I had that for my character in the arena boss I'm at now!

[@Khaathus]

@@eilir7736 You can still use this specific gem with all classes as long as you have enough strength to socket it in your abilities.

[@timurproductions1904]

nice video :) i still using armor break build , easy boss fights :) ... and tbh there are no fun builds , all this long movesets are terrible for the usual warrior player . i have such a strong autoattack hits like a truck and i have rly good sustain so its rly chill gameplay for me :) watching series and clearing maps ;D.. sunder and stampede will round up the build but not rly needed if u just want to hit like a truck ... just keep up your resistances , and i like the buff that gives u armor for evrytime u broke armor , i am rly tanky :) +

[@Khaathus]

@@timurproductions1904 Yeah, there are a couple more builds I’m messing with at the moment. I like Warrior for what it is right now and will probably make another one for Warbringer ascendancy.

[@Salty_Bagel]

Yeah they already nerfed. Love this game having so much fun taking a year to attack things lol

[@Talerk]

@@Salty_Bagel i one shot everything since i have perfect strike for single target and boneshatter for packs, you can as well

[@Itsjustme1982]

Im currently a level 52 Warrior. Ya this game is definitely not this easy for me thats ridiculous lol.

[@rickdevcod]

Build nerfed or no?

[@PoE_Sushi]

yes it feels clumsy as hell now, no more chain explosions only small pack pops

[@Infamous_SSJR]

Need shield charge makes it back to what it was

[@Khaathus]

@@Infamous_SSJR Yes. You can use Stampede and still get the same effect.

[@pascald851]

Yes nerfed

[@RodDubs]

Wasn't armor break just nerfed with the patch that just went live?

[@tutzmeister9446]

Where was this mentioned in the patch notes?

[@Khaathus]

@@tutzmeister9446 They did slightly change how the gem works. You are still able to one shot mobs with it using stampede. Doesn’t seem to work as well with other support skills anymore. I need to keep testing to see though.

[@RedAvery1]

Warrior getting all these nerf but we’re already trash

[@생선-v3u]

oh my titan 😂

[@Khaathus]

@@생선-v3u lol. We will make Warrior great again. There is an earthquake build that seems ok mixed with totems. Also bleed builds seem to be very strong as well.

[@Oldskoolraver-OG]

Wasted almost hour trying to work out the rest a team gems in ya weapon can't see cus quality so poor on KZbin lol

[@MateusOU]

Mobalytics?

[@Khaathus]

@@MateusOU haven’t put one up yet

[@Sageathor]

this was just nerfed today?

[@Khaathus]

@@Sageathor in a way it was kind of balanced but you can still do it with Stampede skill so far. As long as you break armor of the initial first hit I believe it still works as shown in the opening of the video.

[@ЗверевКонстантин-ц3ж]

yes nerfed to the ground, no more chaining

@@pascald851 it’s still viable. I’m a lower level at 70 and doing tier 7s with ease because of it.

[@zeinzin91]

@@Khaathus i think i am doing something wrong because i am not triggering explosions....

[@AkumaNoSenshi000]

what did they nerf about this?? i cant find it ty

[@ToasterFoxx]

They didn't nerf it directly, they fixed the bugged behavior. It was able to trigger itself recursively on other enemies, this caused the big explosions. Now it only triggers on the enemy that has been hit directly. So with skills like stampede it still works as intended, but not with autoattack anymore.
