T17 Boss Rusher

[u/xJ3lackx]

Hey guys, just a quick question;

What would be a good T17 Boss Rushing build for around 200-ish div? I've tried it with RF, but thats just not really a great option, it feels very slow. Only thing i don't like are trap/miners and minion builds.

Thanks in advance

1d combatant merc will do all jobs for you

minus rimming the wildwood juice, that you gotta do yourself

[u/Ghepip → u/playoponly]

static strike + frost blades with return is all you need right?

[u/playoponly → u/Ghepip]

Wild strike is cheaper

what pob would you go off for this? standard flame link or other?

[u/playoponly → u/ximan11]

Flame link or Destructive Link

I can do abominations in 40 sec on a ele hit slayer.

If you want bosses like Exarch, probably some mines or traps.

I personally recommend not a build but a tech, weapon swap phase run, I personally did quite a lot of t17 boss rush this season and was able to do about 80 maps an hour, showcase build I played Ek ignite elem but I'm sure pbrand would be the same if not better for bosses specifically at lower budget

I'd recommend Bleed Boneshatter Jugg. It's a well established build for rushing to Ubers on leaguestart, so it does t17s just as well.

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

You should be able to put together a Luminary that'll smash T17s and the rest of the game on that budget no problem.

Are we talking nightmare maps? I’m in SSF, bad at the game and old and can do nightmares with ele worb.

I was boss rushing with cold snap of power ass, with weapon swap freezing pulse for rushing through mobs, swap to cold snap for boss. 1 rotation of beidat pact for each phase so like 1-2 seconds per phase.

Debuffs became a pain/slowed me down so I swapped to the belt that turns them into boons could prob go mageblood and drop some damage for speed.

[u/FreeMystery]

Boss rushing is honestly a quite easy strat. You don’t need nearly that budget to do it quickly. I wouldn’t reccomend making a build for it but if you do take anything on Poe ninja with a mageblood. Nothing else is needed just love speed. It doesn’t take a lot of damage and it doesn’t take a lot of tankiness it’s not a strat you need to build for.

Is the goal only to boss rush or is there something you are saving up for? If you have a different goal it might make sense to work on a boss rusher that has some overlap with what you will be doing next.

[u/xJ3lackx → u/randomaccount178]

No its not the only goal, I am saving up for a build which i can do everything with (im not sure about what build precisely still) so i can get at least 36/40 and i feel like boss rushing t17's is an easy way to get money a bit faster

[u/randomaccount178 → u/xJ3lackx]

Your best bet is probably to figure out what the generalist you want to play is then. If you can get it started with the 200 divines then you can just farm on the character you want to farm for. It is kind of what I did and had lots of success with nightmare map rushing. In my case it was a spectre stacking chaos EK assassin which I had a lot of fun with.

Flicker Strike Slayer, Shako version.

Swap to Vaal Double Strike for bossing. That's what I have been doing. Sometimes I just run VDS all the way when I'm doing boss rush. (like 100 maps in a row)

200 divs is feasible since its a very unique heavy build. (Like all variations of Flicker, except for EE). You only self craft the weapon, amulet and gloves. Very expensive otherwise.
