[3.26] Volcanic Fissure of Snaking Slayer - T17 farmer

Hi Guys,

If you don't know me, I've been posting forum guides for a long time, and I don't post unless I know a build works and it's worth sharing.

-::- My Last guide -::-

[3.25] Splitting Steel Gladiator (400k+ views)


-::- Volcanic Fissure of Snaking Slayer -::-

This is the strongest setup I've ever put together, but I will let you judge for yourselves from the showcase videos below.

I'll update the guide as I think of things, but feel free to ask any questions.

3.26 Video Update: T17 Abomination - Full Map

Hi Guys,

Figured you guys might want to see what a full map looks like, so here it is:

I've also made several optimizations to the build:

1) 90% All Res
2) Triple Curse on Merc

Here's the latest PoB: https://pobb.in/7tM9GZB4Eell Updated 7/22/25

This is without a doubt the strongest setup I've ever put together!

Hope you guys like :)

Thank you! I'm glad you like :)

Yes, Axe is crazy! It's a mirror service (1mir + 150d). You can find it here: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Mercenaries/gwbbvZ6cQ

Sure, Mageblood works, but it's mostly used to solve Max Res and other survivability problems, which I've already solved, plus Headhunter is very cheap this league, so I would actually just sell the Mageblood to fund the build.

A good roll MB is going for around 200d, that's around enough to buy most everything, except the axe.

GL and pls post if you put the build together!

to be honest i hate mageblood too i just figured if mageblood can add something other than defense and of course a juiced t17 could use a headhunter! i will surely post once im done was playing an armour stacker and it was a meh to be honest very tight in term of gearing and jewels it needs like 5 mirrors to be comfortable and i dont wanna spend that much on a build im not enjoy playing.

Hi,

Great build, and thanks for sharing! Could you please explain the defensive setup? I feel a bit squishy, so I’m pretty sure I’m doing something wrong — maybe taking the wrong nodes in the skill tree. I’m still only level 90.

Another thing is the helmet. How do you stop it from taking up a big part of your lifepool, since you have to maintain three Warcries mnanually at all times? Am I right?

Again - thank you for this build. :)

Hi,

Thanks, glad you like!

Your toon looks fine...

You gotta be careful not to run maps that reduce the effect of non-curse auras (Determination), that reduce your Leech recovery per second, and also not pickup any Altars that reduce your physical damage reduction:





You can use this regex for corrupted maps:

"!ra c|eec|f el|o al|'v|acl|rune|gen|wak|net|k at|non|ever|wb" pte

Non-corrupted maps:

"!ra c|eec|f el|o al|'v|acl|rune|gen|wak|net|k at|non|ever|wb"

You can also grab the Warcry Mastery that recovers 15% life when you Warcry.

And your Echoes helmet should be 16% max phys dmg taken for each warcry.

Also, Progenesis is a huge boost to tankyness, which is why it's so expensive.

Hope that helps.

GL

Is there anyway you can look at my toon as well and tell me if there is anything i need to change I can run t17's but for the most part the exertion nukes me. I swap between anger and determination depending on map as I cannot for the life of me find an anger merc. But the 15% life per exerted attack just nukes my health even with progensis. I love the build I self crafted my own axe just to play it
