[3.14] Gannicus, God of the Arena – Deathless Uber Elder for Everyone

hey, what about using dual vaarunastras or wings of entropy??

Hey, started playing PoE this league for the first time ever and decided to go with this build for my league starter. I'm absolutely loving it so far; the tankiness is great for ultimatum and the damage is great. Doing T16 maps fine - big thanks for making my first build in PoE awesome. Build was super easy to put together and very affordable

You can use Varunastra but wings? That's an axe in case you didn't notice.

That's good to hear. GL with the league.

Wings count as dual wield and have 8% of spell block. that's why.

You obviously don't understand the basics of the build or the ascendancy.

We use SWORDS. The tree has SWORD damage NOT AXE damage. If you use an axe you need a new tree with axe nodes.

Also spell block? Really?? Have you read what Versatile Combatant does? I mean I even mention it in the guide. Spell block is USELESS.

How about linking Fortify support to a 4l Leap Slam and adding a support gem that does more damage to Bladestorm instead? Maybe the AoE gems?

100% fortify uptime is nice but it's not the best for DPS I think. With regular Leap Slamming you should also have Fortify most of the time.

What do you think?

I concede that Vengeance sucks lol.

Ah, finally... :P

Yes you can use fortify with leap slam but that means that you have to turn it into a 4L. You'll get decent uptime with that although not 100% obviously. As a replacement in BS you can use ruthless or multistrike. Check the gem section for details. Personally I prefer the safety of fortify. The damage increase you'd get is modest.

If you want to be serious about end-game you need to go beyond 90. 95 is a good place to stop. Since you're on standard that'll take some time though. In a league you just join a rotation and get to 95 in a week.

What would I remove? That's hard. Maybe the 7 points around blade master. That's a mix of damage and life. But I highly recommend going beyond 90.

How's the testing with a low life version of this build build?

I'm trying it out using petrified blood, bloodthirst and cruelty. I am smashing t6 maps and ultimatums without any problem and have spend like 20c on the build so far. Going to keep testing to t16 but seems pretty good with my garbage gear so far.

Hello!

Very nice build! I love how tankie it is, but i am having problems about the average dps...

Have any idea on what i could do to improve it? I just have 3ex so far

(Don't mind the body for now, i know its totally garbage)

On side note, im trying to use cyclone instead of bladestorm (juts changed 2 gems) with the same exact build and i find i do much more dps with it :(

Ofc i keep sand for aoe and blood for bosses

Just chiming in to say this build guide has a very relatable REDDIT thread right now about misleading POBs.

You have all flasks ticked.
Not Sirus DPS. (nobody cares about elder anymore)
Some VERY exspensive watchers eyes.
The great gear version has a 450 dps 1hander...
The maim -mana chest with 150 life 13% life ?????
Against bosses u have been hit recently...


There is more, but after unticking your DPS buffers..It has a very VERY modest dps at best so much so its barely worth going crit.

I mean why did you tick diamond flask ? You know something about permanent uptime on diamond flasks i dont ? Since even with your main Great gear version you are not keeping diamond up against uber elder or sirus.

TO ANYONE ELSE READING TAKE NOTE.

The build is generally ok. Tanky enough. HP leaves something to be desired without frankly amaznig gear.

This build isnt really a 3.14 boss killer.

Clear will be ok but suffer in late reds a LOT until you get 380+pdps weapons and even then rares and bosses you will be spinning at for a while.

Make sure to check the POB and uncheck all the unrealistic boxes.
