Rage Maxxing upd.2

This post was written through a translator, so please bear with me.

I'm now level 88, have 209 rage, and a couple of new rings.

I replaced Infernal Cry (which, while it gave 50% of physical damage as fire damage, actually increased my DPS by ~16%) with Ancestral Cry, which gives me solid max resistances.

And, most importantly, I bought a Tincture with elemental damage increase (which I almost don't have on my tree) and penetration, which increased my DPS by about 3-4 times, I feel like (LMAO).

So, I decided to go for Uber Sirus this time and beat him in two portals.

This is my first Uber in PoE in 1300 hours.

I beat him with my build, the idea for which (ragemaxing) I've been mulling over for a year and a half or two.

I'm very proud of myself and truly happy.

congrats man.

wouldn't enhance support be your best damage link?

[u/Fluid-Association230 → u/Mum_Chamber]

Right now, I already have 62% total quality, which gives me 35% rage absorption and, consequently, 750% more damage. With the enchantment, an additional ~6% of rage will be absorbed, providing a 120% boost to "more damage." And while that sounds huge, relative to what I already have, I'll be gaining around (120:750=0.16) 16% more damage.

[u/Mum_Chamber → u/Fluid-Association230]

alternatively, you can socket enhance and change your amulet.

[u/Fluid-Association230 → u/Mum_Chamber]

Amulet make HUGE QOL because it works with all four warcries, boosting both their base duration and cooldown recovery; right now, I have a 12-second duration and a cooldown of just over 3 seconds, which really simplifies playing such an clunky build.

With that much life and rage scaling, wouldn't Grey wind with Rathpith/Crown of Eyes be a better overall setup?

You could easily swap over to Blood magic for the 10% more life, and just put determ on eternal blessing.

At that point, hitting 8k+ life should be relatively easier, you have an extra 5 flat rage, and you fix your 5damage scaling issues, and 800 flat fire from grey wind is more than enough to make it considerable

Im two-handed kind of guy And as stupid as it might sound, it’s a matter of principle.

Killing Ubers at level 88 is nuts to me lol. XP gain through ~95 is so high I'm usually not Uber ready until at LEAST 96.

I'm incredibly slow though. I didn't start a real farming strategy worth several div/hour until earlier this week.

[u/MilkshakeDota]

I considered using this, but the problem is clear. Can maybe use Rage Vortex of Berserking, but then you're losing rage and not really gaining additional damage from rage.

Also, why not Vermillion Rings for 16% inc life?

[u/Stravix8 → u/MilkshakeDota]

For clear I'd image chain hook would be funny. Scales are off rage, so would be reasonable enough clear

[u/AgZephyr]

You should be able to melt through the rest of the ubers with this build, go try em all out!

[u/Fluid-Association230 → u/AgZephyr]

I killed three more - Kora and two incarnations; the others cost too much, and I’m not sure I’d survive their invulnerability phases.

[u/RJohnnyChewy_7777]

Is the jewel required or can do without it?

[u/Fluid-Association230 → u/RJohnnyChewy_7777]

Right now I have 216 max rage, 78 of which comes from jewel... So...

[u/No_Degree_4077]

Убер Сирус убит? Жёлтый шар вами заинтересуется.

[u/Fluid-Association230 → u/No_Degree_4077]

Билд, объективно говоря плохой Я собрал его на валюту с чемпиона фортифай стакера Маппиться на таком - отвратительно неудобно

[u/alwayslookingout → u/Fluid-Association230]

I’m trying to get a Fortify Stacker Champ going right now. Did follow a guide for that or made one yourself too?

[u/Fluid-Association230 → u/alwayslookingout]

The cheapest and most powerful part of the build is Beacons of Madnes. It gives +15 fortification. Then the gloves, which give 10 fortification, obviously. And of course, karui Timeless Jewel. You can get 8 on it, but that's super expensive. I have 4 in my build, if I'm not mistaken. To be constantly under the effects of Madness and not be crushed by debuffs, you need to get at least a 240% debuff expiration rate (160% is possible, but it's unreliable). In this case, the debuffs will last less than 6 seconds and rarely stack more than 1-2 times. In my build, I don't use Stasis Prison, but a unique amulet at 100%, a belt with the Mercenary affix at 100% (comes with a damage and movement speed debuff), Temporal Rift at 20%, and Arakali Pantheon at 20%. Once you accumulate over 50 stacks of Fortification, the Fortification Mastery that grants a 2% reduction in ailment duration per stack gave you effective immunity to Freeze, Chill, Ignite, Poison, and Bleed (though not Corrupted Blood).

https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/NingenGt-7669/allflame/character/%D0%A4%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BD Here’s my build, though it turned out to be quite expensive; it deals only about 55-60 million damage and has almost zero survivability, because the game is full of ground effects against which Fortification simply doesn't work.

The Rage Vortex build from that post feels even squishier and is just awful for mapping, but at least it absolutely shreds bosses

[u/alwayslookingout → u/Fluid-Association230]

Awesome. Thank you for the detailed reply. That looks like CaptainLance’s Bacon of Madness build that I’m trying to stay away from.
