(3.26 POB ✔) Aspect's Soulrend Aurastacker // Infinite EHP // All Content ✔
 Hello! I’m Aspect, and this is my Soulrend Occultist build. I’ve been working on and perfecting this build for several leagues now, constantly experimenting with different options and keeping what’s proven to be the most effective. I’ve probably spent over 2,000 hours on this build alone. My goal with this build is to withstand both repetitive and burst damage while being able to recover from 1% to 100% Energy Shield as quickly as possible. On top of that, thanks to Soulrend’s auto-seeking AOE projectiles, the build offers insane pack clear. This build is for anyone tired of dying—or anyone who wants to push everything Path of Exile has to offer (Sanctum not included). Nothing will kill you, and everything will fear you. 😁Don't be obnoxious in the forums please and thank you!😁 CODE OF CONDUCT https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1457463 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT'S NEW IN 3.26

OHHHHHHHHH BOY LET ME TELL YOU, EXILE! Soulrend just got a massive buff: Patch note -| " That’s a 19.2% increase at level 20! Soulrend scales insanely hard with gem levels. This build is all about cranking Soulrend’s gem level as high as possible—think level 30+ by the endgame. Every extra level multiplies your damage and clearspeed. Now Im not sure what that means for the scaling but im only assuming positive things. Summon chaos golem getting damage over time multiplier will also give us a big spike in damage! There are new uniques that were added ill keep this posted on the ones ive tried. I know the boots with arcane surge that was shown will be a very nice addon. So we can try to fit that in. Lets talk about the mercenaries! This is insane! It means we can throw on the The Hand of Phrecia and a soul link or protective link.... Not to mention we are aura stacking so they will be getting buffs that will be making them immortal. The mercenaries are an insane add for and aura builds. Vile bastion change NGL this one hurt my heart. This was my favorite ascendancy and they just switched it out with energy shield. Its nice still if you have a way to make up for the lack of ES regen. " Change is above and here are my thoughts So if we have 8k ES we are losing 700 es regen in combat for 78% increased ES. If we are 4k Natural ES (No increases from tree or gear) This would mean we would be gaining 3.1k ES. This is a massive buff to our vaal discipline. Now we have to take in the bonus's we are gaining from regen through this extra energy shield so we know how much regen we are actually losing. We currently have ~8% es regen with everything. Which means we would be gaining another 250 energy shield regen from the extra energy shield that replaced 10% es regen. SO IN TOTAL We lose 450 ES regen We gain 3.1k ES. Our vaal discipline is berserk mode. This also means make sure to put the aura "Tempest shield" on before getting your first ascendancy. 3.26 Leveling guide and info

 So there are a couple breakpoints in the build and swaps that need to be made once you get the appropriate item/upgrade. Nothing to crazy! Just some curse on hit shenanigans and a bit of CI. There is a problem with just putting up a skill tree though and I will explain. I cant just say "Grab CI grab this ascendancy" without explaining why we take them so everyone knows how to make it stronger. I had a player message me a couple league back saying he was hating the build and that he couldn't do nearly any of the content. Well a part of this was the confusion of the things he grabbed. One of the biggest things is curse on hit + ascendancy. If any questions or concerns come up feel free to ask but I will try to explain all the shifts in the build and when to do them.

Main Tree Heavenly shield - 🐈 🐈 Be mindful when you take this. As if you don't have enough armor it will hurt you. This goes all the way to end game when picking your eldritch map modifiers.  Chaos Inoculation (When do I go CI?) 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈 Chaos inoculation can be tricky because one moment you feel good and not dying and the next you just made your "upgrade" and bam you start dying. With this build, Id highly recommend going CI after you have: Determination - Discipline - Cluster Jewels - 3kish ES - 40%+ block - Maxed Ele Resistances  Cluster Jewels Here is a couple crafted jewels that may be expensive alone but getting 2 of these skills to thrive off early game can be essential to if you live or die. Getting a couple sources of energy shield regen is very important. But keep in mind. The positions of the skills on cluster jewels change based on the other skills on it. If you replace arcane heroism in the image below with another passive skill. It would potentially move our more favored options to the top area on the cluster jewel. (We dont want that) LARGE 🐈🐈🐈🐈  🐈🐈🐈🐈  MEDIUM 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈  🐈🐈  I am going to refrain on putting the aura reservation nodes solely because that's pretty late game and not required early or mid game at all. As you are leveling if you start to die or start to get overwhelmed but a lot of creatures a couple of tips: If your issue during the campaign is Number of monsters --> Get more projectiles Not enough damage --> Upgrade Wand/Jewels/Withering step/Amulet(if not unique)/Get despair curse/Get Withering totem/Get Chaos golem Dying --> Get Armor Utility Flasks/Get Block chance/Get more aura's/Get more armor Feel slow --> Get Shield charge and put faster attacks on it As for an end game goal skill tree I will be aiming for initially myself but will be switching around based on the new items and features will be below. I will also include my POE ninja so people can follow along in real time.  Ascendancy order  Pros And Cons

스포일러
To set this build up you wont need much money! Helmet- ES/Res/Helm 30c-70c Wand - Buy a +1 all chaoswand with spell damage(implicit) and at least 25% chaos damage overtime multiplier. 30c Shield - Aegis aurora OR +1 chaos and high ES shield. Amulet - Dragonfangs flight OR +1 chaos skill gems + damage over time multiplier + ES Boots - 150 ES boots with movement speed and some resistances Ring 1 - curse enemies with despair on hit + whatever else you can get 20c - 1 divine Ring 2 - iolite ring with essence of envy craft aim for similar stats shown in the guide Gloves - 150+ ES gloves with resistance life regen or attributes Chestpiece - This will be your most expensive item early because youll need it to be 6L. You can also drop efficacy or cruelty if you have a 5L. I'd recommend getting incandescent heart that has +2. (usually 6-10 div) Belt - A belt that covers your resistances is a good cheap option here. If you can also get armor then that will save you in the future. Need to knows and important information

- You will need to get a vaal discipline. This is an extremely strong gem. - Brine king and Garukhan for immunity to freeze/maim for easier freedom of movement. - Withering step is your best way of applying wither. Wither is your way to kill bosses. Outside of blowing things up around bosses. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO SAVE POINTS LATER ON. - Jewels are an insane way to get a power boost. You can get 14% multiplier and 30% increased damage. As well as immunity to corrupted blood immunity to hinder and a bunch of other fancy stuff that gives this build the freedom of movement it deserves. With that being said there are passives on the skill tree that require you to go like 9 or so out of your way to get 15ish% damage over time multiplier. This is not worth it since we can get that in 1 jewel which is usually only 3ish points away from out tree. Passives and clusters that you will begin trading out for jewel sockets once you get the money for decent jewels. Heart of darkness Atrophy Growth and Decay When you become an aura stacker you will need the points from these trees. Before mapping id recommend having all 3 of these. Before aura-stacking id recommend having the second 2. -If you lose regen you still have leech from soul-rend's passive. Getting #% of leech is instant is a good way to counter reduced recovery but I Always avoid if possible. Video Links

3 ★★★ = Must have 1 ★ = Can do without - Crown of the inward Eye ★★★- This item is extremely good. With the amount of ES and mana we end up stacking. It really makes this a must equip item. - Incandescent heart ★★- This item is extremely strong for mid game - early late game. We are pairing this with CI. Making us take 25% less elemental damage from hits. If we have 75% max res this item basically gives us 6.25% maximum res on elemental. This item has less effect the more max res you have. So once you get around 80% max res you'll technically have 85% max res. (For hits not aoe damage) YOU WILL NEED A +2 or +4 CORRUPT for major damage increase. This is very crucial and one of the major spends before you get to late game. GEM LEVELS ARE VERY IMPORTANT!! - Aegis Aurora ★★★ - Everyone knows Aegis Aurora is legendary for a reason. Slap this shield on, and suddenly cold damage just bounces right off you. every time you block, you instantly recharge your energy shield... its like having a personal medic at your side in every fight. You could swap it out for a fancy chaos shield with more ES or damage, but be warned: the moment you do, youll feel the difference. With Aegis Aurora, you’re a fortress. Without it... you’re a lot more exposed to getting overwhelmed. Once youve played with it, its hard to go back! - Soulrend Dragonfang ★★★ - This item is just a perfect item for this build. +3 levels to soulrend is such a big boost of damage. Putting charisma on this can give you 26% mana reservation efficiency. You can also try for one of the fancy simplex amulets - Watchers Eye ★★★ - These are your ideal stats for your watchers eye. - Any armor increase - Any block chance - Any source of Damage over time multiplier is very nice to have. - Max resistances are good - Immunity to bleed and spell leech feels nice - Regen from discipline or vitality. This build cannot use headhunter. However its brother mageblood is extremely strong. Will give you the zoomies and allows you to sacrifice some of our tankiness for more damage.

- Weapon - This is a cheap version of our end game wand. Use a +1 wand with chaos multi and minimum 60% increased damage. We use both spell damage and chaos damage for our damage over time. So it shouldn't be to hard to find. Ideally you'll want these to be at their max. How do I craft this myself?
스포일러
Video of wand/ring crafting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXeWHBnxjkM In order to craft this you'll need a wand with Damage over time multiplier or chaos damage over time multiplier fracture. Ideally a wand with spell damage implicit. The wands item level should be 82 or LOWER. If you have level 83 you will get added chaos damage which would brick the craft. Next up we will use fossils: Putting these fossils together on the wand will give us a 1/12 chance to get +2 on our wand. Keep spamming these until you get +2 and a decent craft with it. - Ring - You'll need a curse on hit despair ring so your explode works. SOULREND AOE CAN KILL BEFORE SOULREND CAN HIT MEANING YOUR EXPLODE WONT WORK ON EXTREMELY WEAK ENEMIES OR YOU NEED MORE PROJECTILE SPEED. Use envy essences on an iolite ring for a good damage ring. - Belt - Our belt needs to have armor on it. On top of that getting a lot of energy shield is required for the belt slot. This can be the difference of 1000~ energy shield. - Boots - Just typical High ES + res + movement speed boots. Getting regen on them is a good stat to have as well. - Gloves - We are aiming for as high ES as we can get. Fitting some attributes in there is a good side stat to have. - Chestpiece - This is for late game after you get done using incandescent. (I do not recommend this over +4 incandescent heart) Ideally youll want to corrupt this too for +2. This is what youll want to use if you are trying to invest a lot of money into the build. 500+ ES After this you'll want to lock it and try to get +2. Key stats- 450+ ES +1 Gems #% intelligence. % increased effect of auras. This would be enough to get our purity of fire/lightning extra max res. What content can this build do?

Ultimatum is all I've been playing this league. I'm able to get to round 10 with all but 2 notables on the atlas tree nearly everytime. Currently immune to most of the modifiers. farming tips:
스포일러
The lightning strikes should almost always be a skip. You want Caustic cloud / Corrupted blades / Frostbombs. Your auras wont give enemies any kind of advantage against you. You'll need jewels that that makes you immune to Chill/Hinder/Corrupted blood. Soulrend DOT cant be blocked since its an aoe. Soulrend cant be dodged. Lower projectile speed modifier feels nice because you will cover the entire area with dot making things spawn and die. Reduced recovery and immunity to curses are the hardest modifiers. I do not recommend getting the keystone that allows wave 13. Its not much more rewards and you miss out on fighting the boss. For a more in detailed explanation if you are wanting to make money in ultimatum follow my guide here https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/18obmkj/aspects_complete_guide_to_ultimatum_soulrend/ Expedition is what this build was originally built for. This build can do ALL modifiers outside of immune to chaos. Bossing is a lot easier because of how tanky you are. It might take a second to kill bosses but we can tank most of their attacks and go back to full hp right afterwards. Delve the amount of pack clear this build has as well as the tankiness gives this build a good feel in delve. Wildwoods is easy to run through and still be able to kill and survive most of the creatures it juices in mapping. You dont really feel a difference outside of the loot that is dropped. Breach is a good farming strategy. With GMP your soulrend will kill half of one side instantly. Harvest is easy to farm because of the dense pack size. I haven't fully farmed this mechanic yet so I'm not sure how it deals with late game harvest farming but I would assume it wouldn't be difficult. Auras

The 3 must haves are -Determination -Discipline -Tempest Shield The other ones are depending on how much mana reservation you have and what you need at the time. The end goal is to be able to get all of these auras up and running. Getting each piece takes time so play around and see what auras best match how you play. If you would prefer to kill things and risk getting overwhelmed then switch out your auras. Keep an offhand on you to always level up the auras you will be using in the future. This saves you a pretty penny come late game. Answers to questions

Why am I missing boss damage?
스포일러
You need multiple jewels like this- Each one of these is like 5-10% more damage. -Soulrend scales MASSIVELY on gem levels. Make sure you have bonus's on your amulet, your chestpiece, your wand, a corrupted 21 gem, -Getting an incandescent heart with +2 or a wand with +2 is massive in the damage department. You will also ideally want the wand to have at least 60% increased damage. -Quality your gems. Next up is rings these are your biggest source of chaos damage increase. Getting one with mana sustain and one for curse on hit with the envy essence will be a massive boost in damage. Why am I dying?
스포일러
Make sure you have determination and discipline at all times choose these over malevolence. Invest in very high ES gloves and boots. These will give you a spike in your max hit and regen amount. Most of the time you die it will be because of physical damage reduction. If you can get endurance charges or other forms of physical damage reduction then you should be good.

Outside of the massive determination nerf there is not much that really affects us here. The 1000 armor on our aura we lose is pretty massive but it can be made up with flasks some tree modifiers and a good Incandescent heart. This makes the belt having armour way more critical. As the only deaths you will face are physical hit deaths. So dropping the armor on the belt will make you drop in % reduction on armor Outside of that it looks like 3.25 is another safe league for soulrend aurastacking!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=antSpIRmNqU Since we have such an easy option of getting poison chance. We no longer need the reduced extra damage from critical strikes on our watchers eye. So our new watchers eye (Late game) will no longer need the reduced crit taken We can now use the tattoos that give us poison chance on hit which allows us to take the poison mastery that makes it so enemies cannot crit us. Recently I found out how strong mistress of sacrifice is with bone offering. Getting that block chance and regen is a massive boost to our EHP. Our goal is to get to max block chance. This helps with that ALOT. https://pobb.in/bL5SjhkQGBp7 Most recent POB this has before aura setup aswell as after aura setup and a uber late game setup for people wanting to max stuff out. If anyone can help me find a way to get endurance charges easily it would make the build WAY tankier. I have found a timeless jewel that gives 5% endurance charge on kill and 40% armour. 3.24 Ultimatum rush atlas

Hello. I'm glad to see a build that suits me so well, I enjoy playing Expedition the most so I chose this build. The only drawback is that the damage is slightly insufficient when facing single targets such as elite monsters, BOSS, etc. I have purchased Star Cluster. This is my build https://pobb.in/t5iJAf-BDsp5. If you have time, Can you help me take a look at it? Thanks

Was wondering if you could answer a few other questions i had while working on getting items for this build as i really enjoy soulrend.
1. How important are the specific flasks on the build, or there major goals to aim? 2. Is the Lethal Pride jewel necessary or is there a timeless jewel that is absolutely needed? 3. Which skills are you aiming for on the cluster jewels? 4. Are the poison related things needed or can i reclaim those passive points? |

I have updated the POB link. I posted an older one I used for farming money when i made this post. Current build is more late game targeted for aura stacking.
The flask of block chance and taste of hate is extremely good. As well as the 20% more armour flask. If you ever die it is because of physical damage. So stuff like those keep us from getting randomly one tapped by uber rare monsters. Cluster jewels arent really used for the passives. The main reason you get those is because of the jewel sockets. the 28% damage over time multiplier and 30% spell damage is better then the 100% damage bonus you can get with the few passives. If you want to invest in a medium cluster jewel aim for vile reinvigoration and eldritch inspiration. Vile reinvigoration will make your regen go crazy after killing packs of mobs and eldritch inspiration is really good for mana sustain. Poison is good if you start lacking boss damage. I wanted to try it out and didnt really enjoy it myself. Massive Occultist / DoT Enthusiast
