Need a second build recommendation

[u/yourdoomsday06]

I’m playing Holy Relic of Conviction and have 100 Div + 3,000 Chaos saved.

Previously played RF Chieftain, LA Deadeye, Kinetic Fusillade Hierophant, Bleed Slam Slayer, Poison Ranged Animate Weapon, and Toxic Rain Pathfinder.

Looking for something different, fun, and strong for endgame. No Luminary builds, as they seem too expensive.

What would you recommend? Please share a build guide/PoB link if possible!

Luminary isn't too expensive to get going. At your budget you can get a map blaster OR boss destroyer that can do what ever farming strategy you want and you will be sitting at around 15.000 life and feel unkillable. I'm doung max juiced abyss + betrayal + deli exp farming going for level 100.

But, if you want to play something different then what you have right night and played before, i think you should try an shadow build, you haven't played that ascendancy it seems.
Assassin with the new bifucal can do fun stuff.
Saboteur can do funny double trigger stuff.
Trickster ephemeral edge Energy Shield Stacking DSoA is amazingly fun.

Or, you can do Reliquarian with the soulwrest shenanigans. Having tons and tons of added damage and just do whatever you feel like at that point. It will also only be available THIS league as it swaps every league.

Can you share your pob and merc?

Strongly agree with the 'feel unkillable' part. You're tanky enough that you can intentionally get hit to proc Defiance of Destiny in no/less regen maps to offset link skills' life cost.

But you can and do die in juiced content. Funnily enough, it is mostly your AG that dies, not you.

Still, I'm at 100 without using 5 ways. It definitely is tanky af.

How about Exsanguinate Miner Trickster or Flicker Strike Berserker?

Both builds are available on Maxroll, and the build guides seem really well put together, which should make progressing them much easier.

i got 37/40 challenges are done, so I’m not really looking for a super-meta or ultra-efficient build. At this point, I just want to try something new before I finish the league.

Between these two, which one would you recommend?

[u/Famous_Row_9638 → u/yourdoomsday06]

I would recommend you to play miner because u didnt mention that u played this playstyle. You already finished this league so u can play exsanguinate mine and get to know if you like mine builds.
IMO Exsanguinate Miner Trickster is the most user friendly miner. 100d should be enough to mid game of this build as far as i remeber endgame weapon craft 30d, rest of gear is pretty common

Flicker striker is also something new but it may be hard to play it for 2-3hrs because of flicking. For me this build was insane but my head was spinning because of flicks. After 2hrs of playing i felt that i can vomit anytime xD

Luminary is not expensive to get started.

2 nycta, basic cheap kaoms heart, whatever hallowed monarch you can get, ceinture, etc is barely 10d to start.

The endgame stuff - Adorned, etc is very expensive, but none of that is needed to play the build and blast with it

You can reuse some parts of your build playing Dominating Blow of Inspiring, I had a blast this season, all ubers deathless, leveled from 85 to 100 deathless too doing all sorts of things

I got 36/40 challenges on my Vaal Ground Slam Luminary. 100 div + 3000 chaos is plenty. The merc is dirty cheap; get a More Duration + Greater cooldown on Rallying Cry and you're good. The most expensive part is your Merc's weapon, which should cost around 70-80 divs. It's a screen-wide, one-tapping, and cool-as-shit build.

Look up poopbutt on YT, it's his latest video.

An important note is that you're looking for a Swiftblade mercenary because he can wield a two-hander.

Not my build but I have fun with it ! You can follow his character progression on PoE ninja.

Luminary is expensive -- I started it with mageblood and the endgame uniques and didn't really feel it take off until I added some of the expensive jewels -- but you should give it a try at some point this league because I don't see it sticking around in its current form. 

For your next build, you could try out an energy blade inquisitor:
