[PoE 3.20] Another Well Rounded BEAST - General Cry is BACK

[@vladafanasjev9808]

I believe I played this build in Sentinel league and can say to people who never played this build before, don't make it your league start without practice. It's a very unforgiving build, I played with budget 50 ex if not more and I was dying a lot, especially the first few days, once you get used to it, its a little bit easier, but you will still die. People like Matth or the dude he mentioned in the video can play this build because they are a very skillful bunch, they know all the mechanics, have done all bosses thousands of times, know how to track their flasks, skills cd, and so on. If you are not that kind of player, build probably will make you suffer and cry. A couple of my friends also tried that build and they had the same review. On plus side, good damage, feels good when you are not dying, fairly fast. I would definitely give it a go if you never tried this build, but not as a league start or at least practice with a couple of days in Standard or something.

Hello math, one question, General Cry is good for crucible league? ty

[@zafron777]

Hey Matth, I just wanted to say thanks for this build. I have been playing for 10 seasons and this was the best league starter that I have ever experienced. This became by favorite build of all time. I was worried at first because some ppl were saying this is glass cannon build and you needed to be an experienced player. But now that i have experienced this build fully, I would definitely say that is not the case. This build has extremely high dps and pretty good tankiness with great aoe. If you are not doing pinnacle bosses, you can even sacrifice your dmg and make the build extremely tanky by taking juggernaut nodes with forbidden flesh and flame. I reached level 100 with just regular mapping without any 5-ways. Anyways, Thanks Matt for a great season!

[@davidjvaliente]

Another successful weekend! Started 8 hours late but still was able to finish day 3 with a paradoxica, asenaths, all the clusters, and 2/3 awakened gems. Another great build yet again. Appreciate the work my friend

Nice one. I was planning on a Sunder build and it's very similar. Imma pick some league start tips from here !

[@DGP24]

Been thinking about this 1 for a while now. I was going to play it before you uploaded, i still think it will be a good build and people will play it. I ll definitely play it and try some early ubers with it, planning on switching to a venom gyre str stacker berserker afer a few days so i can clear a map in seconds. ^_)^ that is my plan, thanks for the much needed true POB. take care maybe u ll get a pardon for this 1. It s XMas too. :)! Stay strong keep rocking.

Thank you for the update. I was kinda hoping for the ascendancy explanation. Why the change from the triple buff from rage setup to blitz charges ? Anyway. I'm going to play this awesome build for the 4th league in row :D great build

Sure, so basically, it makes hitting the attack speed requirements significantly easier AND ... it doesn't come with the annoying degen.

are you planning to update for 3.21?

[@T.e.m.p.e.s.t]

Great guide. Having blast with this build but what I don't understand and it feels kinda as a bait is that brutal restraint. Losing stun immunity is just a huge pain and pantheon is not really helping either. Am I missing something important?

[@leonass305]

Had the same feeling. So for mapping, I bought a set of forbidden jewels with "Unstoppable" passive which belongs to Jugg. It makes you stun+freeze immune, cannot be slowed below base speed, which helps with some nasty mods in maps and sanctum. So I can drop Brine King for any other decent pantheon. Both jewels took 1div+100c Also you can try "Rite of Ruin" passive, it gives stun immune while above 25 rage and kinda good damage, but with theres a tricky part with degen, and it costs a lot more, so its up to you.

[@leonass305]

actually, I found out that awakened cast while channeling gains stun avoidance at lvl 5.

Hi , Nice build , short q : what options are the best for Paradoxica for this build .. like top 5 or so ... I will play SSF , usually I find like 2 per league.

[@pathofmatth]

as long as you have prefix with phys, that's all you care about, crit chance is 2nd best suffix and attack speed is by far the best suffix, everything else is irrelevant

[@boiledfrogs1]

What about vaal blade flurry is it useless for this build ? Ty for content :)

[@Vyn64]

Do you think that your guide on Eye of Winter from last league is still fine to follow for a normal version of the build? (Not the Uber boss deleter version)

[@pathofmatth]

ye nothing rlly changed, the nerf to pious path means you probably need like 1 item with %life regen to make up for it, that's about it

[@justinmaynard8305]

[@zaafarahmed2327]

thank you!

[@stavik96]

As someone returning to the game after almost 2 years. Is there a reason the 2 aruas are in the Oskarm gloves meaning it requires 4 off-colour sockets instead of lets say blood rage and precision which would only then require 2 off-colour sockets?

Will you play this build in 3.20?

Which pantheons are the best for this build?

[@andreimalashchytski3152]

Why doesn't the curse on my gloves work? During leveling, the curse was applied to enemies, but after switching to GC, it no longer works.

[@pathofmatth]

Did you socket cyclone in the gloves? Follow the links in the actual POB and it should work

hi hi ty for all your guides are u updating seismic trap guide alsot to 3.20 =?

[@jackpyrope6641]

Ive been losing my mind trying to figure out this change, please, please, please someone explain to me the swap from Rite of Ruin and Crave the slaughter to Flawless Savagery and Blitz. I thought the other two granted you FAR superior stats across the board. Whats changed?

[@pathofmatth]

Well, one thing is ... getting the attack speed is harder without elevated tailwind boots & elevated onslaught attack speed. Another thing is, the degen is actually kind of annoying with rite of ruin. Finally, the pathing on the tree allows for a 2nd cluster instead of going towards the scion life wheel (for the extra 10 rage). These are my main 3 reasons, and of course, it's an easy way to reach 10 APS without crazy gear

[@jackpyrope6641]

@@pathofmatth I greatly appreciate your reply, it does clear up a lot, thank you so much!

[@bluestar404]

I was hyped to run this build, while theory crafting after the trailer 3.20 came out. But the idea of having to heist until I can afford everything is not nice, so I'll probably start cold dot and grind maps and league content until I've save up enough to go straight to paradoxica.

[@NSFWTHICC]

More or less exactly what my plan is lol

[@bluestar404]

@theoneandonlyfelo the main ones are trickster or occultism. Subractem put out a racing video for trickster recently and I recall zizaran linking someone's occultist pob in a leaguestarter video. I'm going trickster since I haven't played it since it was reworked.

[@MrS5x]

why is the dps in the pob provided so low? only around 10m while i remember few leagues ago it was closer to 40m.

[@pathofmatth]

The lvl 99 endgame tree and setup sits at around 300 million, not sure what more you need XD

[@caveteethjoe]

Make sure you're setting everything correctly, you need to change the skill, item and tree to the correct variant you want to look at. Also make sure under "Main Skill" It is set to Channel and Release and not just Channeling, as for stages just set it to 6 for now. For Instance the Paradoxica with Asenaths variant is actually just shy of 50m DPS at the level 95 Endgame tree, or alternatively 28m at level 91. Keep in mind neither of these have flasks in the PoB so the DPS can be pushed much higher.

I leveled this in Standard on 3.20 and it felt fine. I mostly struggled on small bosses because the blades rarely hit and when they do they do less damage. Big bosses like Kitava and Brine King die really fast -- especially Act 10 Kitava. I don't know how Spectral feels after acts though, I didn't use this as a league start and went straight into the Ichimonji setup as soon as I had the level for it so maybe Spectral Helix Falls off after maps.
