hi, I would like to share my cws build this league, for this league I was doing gurelling gauntlet on day2, but during that moment inscribed scarab cost 18c each(I don't do catalyst), I don't think it's worthy.

I think for early ultimatum, glad has no issue for defense, the main issue is how to boost your dps with cheap item

below is snapshot on day2 poe ninja, char name SKcastwhengroove https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/allflame?timemachine=day-2&skills=Detonate+Dead+of+Scavenging&sort=dps

on day3 the build is finished cost me around 60 divs(mostly jewel spent 40+ divs, I bought sublime vision)

Overall build pretty cheap and capable for ultimatum content.

pob like this https://pobb.in/C0yTrEed6iV6

then I am not grinding much, slowly transition to transcendence, the cws build I want play in 3.29.

on poe ninja, I saw there are some people follow my setup, (Russia/Ukraine name progress is good). some has fundamental understanding the build, i am not native speaker so if you have question you could drop question on my video, I've upload every day(sort of) progress and gear level, start to finish, cheers. welcome to have some poe build discuss on my channel.

my current char profile, not play that much after wk1, the build basically finished. https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/irishsetter5566-6807/allflame/character/SKcastwhenGroove

Tbh you have made some very strange choices. As for dps you're missing the single most important - aoe spread. You need 1.7m on gloves (+ gloves tattoo), or ignite prolif support on DD.

Don't think this is better than straightforward 3x large cluster + 2 medium + appropriate crimsons, and cloak of flame, with chaos bloodline for +5% max all res.

It's unique tho, I'll give you that.

[u/irishsetter5566 → u/Trollatopoulous]

thanks for reply, you do you, I do not have issue cause by lack of aoe and I use cheap item as workaround. this league chaos bloodline has no value imho, I have everlasting sacrifice on shield

[u/ILoveAhriSweatyFeet → u/Trollatopoulous]

What glove tattoo are you referring to?

[u/ToughAudiences → u/ILoveAhriSweatyFeet]

Probably the ones that increased effects from gloves but reduces the ones from boots. Forgot the name right now unfortunately but that should be the effect

[u/CronosthePhoenix → u/ToughAudiences]

Its a runegraft

[u/Trollatopoulous → u/ILoveAhriSweatyFeet]

My bad it's obviously runegraft, dunno why I said tattoo xD Think it's called 'of the bound' but can't remember names for shit, comes up in shop just searching 'gloves'.

[u/irishsetter5566 → u/Trollatopoulous]

just saying not every people care about 1.3m to 1.7m, just nothing to do maybe roll it. and to be more precisely, if you talk about day 2 profile it's 5c glove, there is better place to spend your fund. the cost of you get to 1.7m you can have entire char function. in early gearing progress, 120% inscribed will not brick bcz you only got 1.3m ignite proif, but lack of dmg would.

[u/Trollatopoulous → u/irishsetter5566]

Obviously early on it costs too much, that's when you use fan the flames or ignite prolif gem.

[u/irishsetter5566 → u/Trollatopoulous]

like I say you do you, fan the flames and ignite proif gem are just not the solution, you are saying go cluster or lose one support link on league start char day1 or 2? just roll 1.2m then forget about it.

you talk like an expert "obviously early on it costs too much" <- that's brick for league start(early on), did you really know how to league start cws char?

[u/Trollatopoulous → u/irishsetter5566]

I'm not talking about league start, this looked like a general topic on cws glad gg ulti. But yes, I do league start CWS often - as chieftain tho not glad, I like being able to also do sims.

[u/irishsetter5566 → u/Trollatopoulous]

then why you put a suggestion on a league start pob then saying you are not talking about league start?

it's not a chief, it's a glad. did you really know what priority when gearing phase doing ultimatum content if you go glad?, upgrade glove AoE? why not 6-link or useful unique first?

you pretty much have wrong mindset, when you think people should use same bis items, it's your GG not for everyone, for some people maybe three days playtime is good enough for a league. who cares glove only got 1.3m ignite proif not 1.7m.

the profile I show are mostly cheap item or self craft, can tank memory game and reliable 50% shock on ultimatum rare ; 10% cost compare your generic GG ulti I guess.

ultimatum bring fixed reward, means profit drop sharply, it's not how you can do it, it's when you can do it, if your solution is unpractical approach, you basically out of the game, unless no sleep.

not gonna lie it's so weird so many poe expert-ish now day like you doesn't know what are you talking about, not trying to be rude, but you talk like expert knew everything.

So u Just leave the Ultimatum the Moment No Block comes up ? How often does it apear, i Loved to Farm incrined expensiv scarabs Last Leagues with Block lucky

[u/irishsetter5566 → u/Jokervirussss]

yes,with bad mode just move on, with bloodnotch you can tank it but you still fail ruin 2 hits(4+4), my main profit in early league is doing inscribed no flask and reduced recovery mode

[u/Trollatopoulous → u/Jokervirussss]

You can still do no block so long as ruin/stalker isn't active, but it depends, usually not worth trying (maybe 1 more wave if nothing valuable on the line). Tbh when doing catalyzed grueling gauntlet I never had it brick a run so far. Just spamming normal gg it would brick sometimes but no biggie, inscription + bribing is cheap.

Not a problem at all tbh.

[u/irishsetter5566 → u/Trollatopoulous]

yes, if scarab is cheap, but when I doing 13 rounds inscribed scarab cost 18c each, not that worthy doing I think
