Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
3.11 introduced reworks to some melee skills, separating them in their own category – slams. It certainly means that these skills will get some powerful nodes on the skill tree and this build will thrive on that.
This Juggernaut is extremely tanky with enough damage to take down Uber Elder. It’s one of the rare builds that also caps Chaos resistance and has 90% physical damage mitigation, huge regeneration and life leech.
Build Pros
- Around 8k life, which makes it super beefy
- 90% physical damage mitigation cap
- Enough damage to take down some of the toughest bosses in the game, even Awakener (Around 2 million DPS)
Build Cons
- Xoph's Blood is a must have later on and it can be expensive

Tip: Click on the item to view it on PoE Wiki or to view similar rare items in poe.tradeHelmet
Rare HelmetGet a rare helmet with high life, some resistance and “Nearby enemies have -9% to Fire Resistance”.
You can easily craft a helmet like that with combination of Prismatic and Scorched Fossils.
Body Armour
Rare Astral PlateGet rare astral plate with at least 80 life and as much resistance as you can get.
Good idea is to buy Celestial Justicar divination cards for 6linked body armour and then throw a few fossils on it.
Gloves
Rare GlovesLook for rare gloves with high life, resistances and ideally, some attack speed as well.
Left Ring
Kaom's WayGet 2 Kaom’s Way rings for extra endurance charge and regeneration.
When buying these, be wary of scammers – people who put Kaom’s Sign in trade window, which is way cheaper but has the same look.
Amulet
Xoph's BloodOne of the core items of build later on.
Gives great bonuses for our build and saves skill points we would have spent getting Avatar of Fire.
Until you can afford it, use generic rare amulet with high life and resistances, elemental damage with attacks.
Belt
Stygian ViseIdeally look for rare Stygian Vise with high life, resistances and craft elemental damage with attacks on it.
1Hand Weapon
NebulochNebuloch maces are both core items build revolves around, so get them as soon as possible. They give a lot of great bonuses for our build, since we have a lot of endurance charges.
Until you can afford them, you can use Callinellus Malleus, which are usually pretty cheap but have enough damage for maps.
Jewel
Jewel Setup1.) Natural Affinity – great jewel for the build and boss fights. To use this jewel, get 1 rare Large Cluster Jewel, ideally with “Added small passive skills grant: Mace or Sceptre attacks deal 12% increased damage with skills and ailments” mod. Good cluster jewel notable passives would be Drive The Destruction, Fuel the Fight and Martial Prowess.
2.) For rest, get rare jewels with following mods:
1.) Increased maximum life
2.) Increased attack speed / attack speed with maces / one handed weapons
3.) Other non-crit damage mods
4.) Resistances or attributes if you need them
Flask
Flask Setup1.) Instant recovery divine life flask with bleed removal
2.) Sulphur Flask with curse removal
3.) Cinderswallow Urn
4.) Lion’s Roar
5.) The Wise Oak
Noticed there’s no input for ‘boots’?
Yeah, sorry about that. Fixed.
TY, using the build, just finished the story mode, so far so good! Any tips for what to prioritise at the start of mapping?
