This is the newest version of my "Most OP Builds" video where I did more research and put more detail into when specific builds peaked in power and reasons for it. I wanted to make this video to have a singular location where players could look back and remember top builds in POE 1 history when they keep dying in Act 1 when POE 2 releases.
Additionally, there are some players that think GGG just nerfs everything that is good, which leads these players think current builds are worse than previous top builds. While it is true GGG does nerf specific build outliers and specific item outliers, as time goes on, GGG gives players more options for their builds, thus more synergies can be found to create better and better builds.

In this video, I showcase an essence atlas strategy that uses the Essence Scarab of Calcification to convert rares into essences. To maximize the amount of rares that spawn originally in the map, I use 8 mod maps with increased rare monsters as an explicit mod. Additionally, I use Scarab of Adversaries x2 for more rares.

After coming back to POE after 2 months off, it appears the economy is heavily skewed in farming Wisps or Rogue Exiles, resulting in extremely high scarab costs for specifically these 2 farms.
Instead of doing those not very profitable popular farms, I created this farm based on current 10/27/24 prices. While this farm is specifically tailored for the Standard League economy, it can be modified or ran in-league as a scarab, T17 map, and div card farm.
I really enjoy farms where I can run maps really fast and just pick up 10c+ items. I am running quant gear though, so if you dont have MF gear, this would be roughly 80 div/hr.
Yes, when I post this video, profits will go down.
The farm works because magic mobs drop a lot of loot.

In this video, I made some adjustments to my previous manual warcry build because I am too lazy to press more than 2 buttons for mapping. The result is a character that has less DPS, but is more fun. Also, if you one shot the mobs to begin with, less DPS doesnt actual mean less DPS for 90% of the mobs.
I am basically sacrificing 25% hp for mana quality of life and warcry quality of life. This allows me to use 4 exerted slams within a span of 3.49 seconds for double damage and 50% more AOE.

In this video, I showcase another Back to Basics strategy using the Twist of Fate Keystone to convert Vaal Temple maps into a random map with random mods and random juiciness.
While this strategy can be fun because you see big numbers somethings, the average map will still be 200-300% quant, which is slightly lower than my previously showcased 8 mod maps. Additionally, since a random map is chosen, sometimes you get terrible layouts, which makes clearing much slower.
In conclusion, while Vaal Temple is interesting, I dont believe it is better than 8 mod maps with good layouts and good divination cards. IE: Defiled Cathedral

In this video, I show some updates to my Tri-Stack Exodia build. I got a lot of haters on my last video where I explain how the build works and I was only a few hours into playing the build, so a lot of min-maxing was left. I have since doubled my damage and I dont use any interaction that will likely be nerfed in the future. I just stack damage multipliers on top of damage multipliers.
With perfect gear, I can probably double my DPS again while staying at over 50% evasion and 4k hp.
I get to 1 million DPS by using War Banner since this build gets a lot of damage from accuracy through conversion to attack speed.

In this video, I showcase a T16 Glacier juiced up with Harbinger. While this is a Harbinger farm, due to the low RNG of dropping fracturing shard or mirror shard, your most consistent currency will come from scarabs dropped from the rare mobs spawn by the harbingers and beyond.
I believe Glacier is the best map for Harbingers because it is very small, which allows ranged builds to clear multiple harbingers at the same time, which allows some build to clear it in just over 2 minutes.
I ran this strategy for 100 maps and I did not see a Fracturing Shard or Mirror Shard, but you will see between 20-40 annulment orbs and 5ish Exalted Orbs per 20 maps consistently. I would guess there is a 50/50 chance to see a Fracturing Orb drop given 100 maps. I was just unlucky.

![[3.22] Earthquake Elementalist - Melee Ignite - 20 Div All Non-Ubers - Build Guide & Conclusion](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6O7gEO217A4/mqdefault.jpg "[3.22] Earthquake Elementalist - Melee Ignite - 20 Div All Non-Ubers - Build Guide & Conclusion
In this video, I showcase gameplay of a normal map and multiple boss kills using my Earthquake Ignite Elementalist. I did all non-uber content in the game almost deathless with 1 death being on The Feared Invitation because I played bad.
Build Summary:
1. Weapon swap gives me all 3 charges, culling strike, ignite refreshes, and infinite flask charges.
2. Defenses comes from Phys to Elemental conversion, Fortify, Temp Chains slow, Skitterbot slow, and a high duration immortal call.
3. Damage comes from High Pdps weapon and refreshing large ignites with frequent crits.
4. Movement comes from perma Silver and Quicksilver flask along with being able to use Frostblink without breaking your swing timer on Earthquake.
Overall, I would only suggest the build if you like playing off meta builds and think burning mobs with ignite is cool. The largest downside is the slowness of the weapon swings, but you really only need a few Ruthless earthquake hits then extend with bladestorms.
Lastly, there is a 1% chance to get a Ruthless blow Elemental Mastery 300% extra phys dmg hit, which will apply a 9+ million DPS ignite.
