[Archnemesis] PoE 3.17 Duelist Ground Slam Champion League Starter Build

  • + Leaguestart and scaling: Just pick up ground slam and go, big impales and fort+armour from our ascend makes levelling a breeze and jumping into maps easy as well.
  • + Stunning Durability: Ground Slam puts out some big stuns meaning enemies don't get to attack you, and what does get through has to penetrate several layers of defences.
  • + Low Stress: Few required items and light on skills to use, this is a very laid back build to play.
  • - Stat budget: The build uses a lot of uniques with low/zero resist, plus we cannot equip gloves or a shield. It's not terribly hard to pack enough on belt/rings but gets expensive if you want damage mods as well.
  • - Chaos/Degens: I personally just run near -60 and deal with it, but there is room for some in the build if you can afford it.

 

 

Intro: Easy to build melee character that's not afraid to tank some hits and does big damage. Running into packs and slamming them flat feels amazing, plus we can stun nearly anything with Vaal Ground Slam including awakener 8. Easy leaguestart and progression with big power coming from our ascend points. With balanced gear you should hit around ~5500hp and ~10mil DPS.

Path of Building: Leaguestart | Midrange | Endgame

 

 

 

Duelist Gladiator 

[Archnemesis] PoE 3.17 Duelist Reave Gladiator League Starter / Budget Friendly Build

[Archnemesis] PoE 3.17 Duelist Bleed Earthquake Gladiator League Starter / Budget Friendly Build

[Archnemesis] PoE 3.17 Duelist Lacerate Gladiator Tank / Fast ClearSpeed / Easy Build

 

[Archnemesis] PoE 3.17 Duelist Reave Gladiator League Starter / Budget Friendly Build

  • Boss killer, Simulacrum, Blight, league farmer & a mapper - all in one.
  • Uber Elder, AW9, T19 100% Delirious maps deathless!
  • One of the strongest league starters!
  • Very flexible - will not shatter under market pressure even if it's popular!
  • Pseudo-melee on steroids - the biggest melee AOE in the game.
  • A skill and playstyle which is fun & engaging! I've played it myself for 8 leagues already.
  • A build where you can feel the power & progress!
  • 5M DPS with 2 EX budget gear - up to realistic 50M in league!
  • 75% block, Overleech, Fortify, 79% all res, Maim, Blind, Steelskin, Endurance charges, Off Screen AOE, 6.5K HP & more!

Always set your Reave, Vaal Reave, Vaal Double Strike and totems as attack without moving.

Always set your Steelskin on your left click and make sure to put it back there if you swap gems as it automatically removes itself from that slot.

If the gem has Awakened or alternative quality, you may choose the normal version before buying the more expensive one.

Body

Vaal Reave - Impale - Awakened Brutality - Multistrike - Awakened Melee Physical Damage - Rage

Use Vaal Reave if you're at 4 stacks to push the range to 8 stacks.

Vaal Reave can also be used during mapping for a quick burst of even more damage as Vaal Reave itself has 2x the damage of a normal Reave.

Helmet

Tempest Shield, Ancestral Protector, Steelskin, Vaal Ancestral Warchief

Steelskin goes on left click.

Gloves

Leap Slam, Reckoning, Life Gain on Hit

This helps generate Power Charges very reliably, especially with alternate quality Power Charge on Critical and helps applying on hit effects while providing another source of life.

Boots

Vaal Double Strike, Melee Physical Damage, Brutality, Multistrike

Use this 0.5 seconds before engaging the boss. It essentially doubles your DPS for the amount that the clones are doing their work.

So if your character does 30M Reave Damage, then for 6 seconds you'll be doing 60M damage.

Weapon

Blood Rage, Dread Banner, Blood and Sand

Blood Rage needs to be refreshed mid fight at bosses if you want to use it at bosses. It's also reasonable to not use it at all to increase life leech. I also suggest not using Blood Rage at the Maven boss at all.

Shield

Pride, Arrogance, Blood Rage

Purity has to be unlinked or it will reserve your life.

 

Ascendancy: Impact - Brutal Fervour - Bane of Legends - Headsman

Pantheon: Arakaali & Ryslatha

Bandit: Alira

[Archnemesis] PoE 3.17 Duelist Bleed Earthquake Gladiator League Starter / Budget Friendly Build

Vaal Earthquake - Chance to Bleed - Fist of War - Brutality - Awakened Deadly Ailments - Melee Physical Damage(Swap melee phy to Less Duration have a better clear speed)

[Archnemesis] PoE 3.17 Duelist Lacerate Gladiator Tank / Fast ClearSpeed / Easy Build

Gems Setup

Lacerate - Melee Physical Damage - Brutality - Multistrike - Impale - Fortify

Vaal Ancestral Warchief - Melee Physical Damage - Brutality - Maim

Aura: Pride - Blood and Sand - Dread Banner - Arctic Armour

Path of Building Link

40 -> 50 -> 60 -> 76 -> 90 -> 94 -> 98

Notes:

  • Until we get a Soul Taker, we need to use Life and Mana Leech node and respec it after we get it.
  • If in need of Intelligence or Dexterity, pick +30 to Intelligence or Dexterity nodes.
  • These passive trees are made for playing without a cluster jewel and Thread of Hope, mostly for levelling. When adding a Cluster Jewel or Thread of Hope, please refer to passive trees in Path of Building links of Required Gear or Meta Gear up above

Required Gear (lv92): https://pastebin.com/MZ8r1BqD (3.2m Shaper DPS, 6.0k life) 

Meta Gear (lv98): https://pastebin.com/s8bPfHCB (6.45m Shaper DPS[9.46m with Berserk enabled], 7.0k life)

 

 

Duelist Slayer

[Archnemesis] PoE 3.17 Duelist Phys Cyclone Gladiator Budget Build

 

[Archnemesis] PoE 3.17 Duelist Phys Cyclone Gladiator Budget Build

  • + works on a budget
  • + boss killer
  • + can do all map mods except "cannot leech" which is extremely rare
  • + tanky (7k+ effective life, Fortify, Leech)
  • + SSF viable (even more than before, farm Elder for amulet)
  • + HC viable
  • + 4mil+ DPS (without counting totem or cull)
  • - maxing out somewhat expensive (Tombfist, Ryslatha, decent Exquisite blade)
  • - totem is a bit squishy and clunky

Gems Setup

Take the regular 21/20 Cyclone version just because of the additional AoE it provides and because it wont consume Vaal souls. The Vaal version is very bad as it literally (and unfortunately) locks you in place for a set period of time.

Get the Vaal ancestral Warchief instead.

[from most important to least, prioritize like this]

Cyclone (6L) = Brutality > Fortify > Infused Channeling > Close Combat > Melee Phys

Vaal Ancestral Warchief (5L+1S) = Ancestral Protector + Maim + Brutality + Conc Effect + Impale

Gloves 2L (Tombfist) = Ice Golem + Minion Life

1st 4L = Determination + Blood and Sand + Dread Banner

 

2nd 4L = Dash + Second Wind + Enduring Cry + Blood Rage

Ascendancy: Headsman -> Bane of Legends -> Impact or Brutal Fervour -> Overwhelm or Brutal Fervour*

Pantheon: Lunaris + Shakari - MAX THEM BOTH THEY ARE GOOD.

Bandit: Alira or kill all
