[PoE 3.28] MELT UBERS with 7 Div Occultist Build (200m+ DPS) - IN DEPTH Build Guide - Path of Exile

Affordable Uber Boss Farming Build 00:00

"In this video, I wanted to showcase a crazy cheap build that you will be able to use to farm Uber bosses on a very tight budget."

• The video demonstrates a cost-effective approach to farming Uber bosses in Path of Exile, emphasizing that players can successfully defeat challenging bosses like Uber Maven and Uber Exark with an investment of about seven divines.

• This build can achieve an impressive damage output of over 200 million DPS, making it a potent option for players with limited resources.

• It's vital to note that this build is designed specifically for boss fights and may not perform well in map survival situations.

Skills and Mechanics Explanation 01:04

"We're going to utilize the mechanic with power charges to maximize our damage even on a budget."

• The core skill of this build is Ice Trap, which deals damage when enemies are close or after a set time period. Players can throw it on the ground, allowing for strategic placement during combat.

• The build focuses on generating power charges using Charge Trap support and using boots like Relic Impatience to continuously maintain maximum frenzy charges, despite the loss of frenzy charge generation due to inner conviction.

• Damage output ramps up early in fights as the player generates these power charges, leading to a dramatic increase in damage over time.

Damage Setup and Ascendancy 03:00

"Our ascendancy, which is Occultist, is going to help us a lot."

• The build leverages the Occultist ascendancy, which contributes significantly to overall damage output by enabling low-life bonuses through Pain Attunement.

• Additional aura support, such as the Summon Lightning Golem combined with Haste, enhances the efficiency of the build during boss encounters.

• Players are encouraged to maximize ice trap levels and damage effects through the use of specific items and mechanics, including a focus on certain passive skills and jewels that enhance elemental damage.

Gear and Itemization Recommendations 03:37

"For the body armor, we're going to run Fullborn Dialas Malfaction with plus one level of socketed gems."

• The video outlines essential gear for the build, starting with key items like Militant Faith jewel, rings such as Fullborn Ramirez Banquet, and the armament pairings needed to optimize trap mechanics and critical strike chance.

• Players should invest in affordable items that provide bonuses to power charges and critical strike multipliers, generally available for around 80 chaos or less.

• The specifics of each gear piece, including armor choices and weapon types, are addressed to ensure players can successfully replicate the build on a budget, while still achieving high performance against bosses.

Cheap Anoints for Your Build 10:45

"Instead of spending three divines on anointing with pairs, you can choose simpler options like Saboteur or Master Sapper, which work well."

• To save costs in your build, consider alternatives to anointing with pairs that can be quite expensive.

• Both Saboteur and Master Sapper provide effective options for enhancing your build's performance, with Saboteur being the cheaper choice.

• If your budget allows, Master Sapper could be the preferred option due to its benefits.

Build Costs and Efficiency 11:23

"After all calculations, the build costs approximately seven divines, which could slightly fluctuate to eight but remains affordable for an Uber boss killer."

• The total cost of the build is around seven divines, making it accessible for players wanting to tackle Uber bosses efficiently.

• It's noted that this build is designed to enable players to kill Uber bosses for an investment of under ten divines, which is a significant advantage.

Strategy for Unpredictable Boss Attacks 11:48

"If the boss has a powerful attack that can kill your character, re-enter the fight and throw your traps from a distance for a safer strategy."

• If you find yourself in a situation where a boss manages to deal lethal damage unexpectedly, the strategy is to reposition and attack from afar.

• This tactic involves using your traps from a distance rather than closing in, allowing for a better chance to manage damage and still finish the fight effectively.

• Most fights should be manageable using this method, especially with the Ice Trap build, which allows for a smooth re-entry into combat.

Boss Recommendations 12:42

"I generally don’t recommend farming bosses like Sirus due to the difficulty of avoiding their attacks."

• While the Ice Trap build is effective, it's suggested to focus your efforts on specific bosses like Maven, Elder, and Exarch, as they are more manageable.

• Avoiding challenges from bosses like Sirus is advised, as the mechanics may be harder to navigate, making farming less reliable.

• Keep in mind that while the build has its strengths, recognizing which bosses to engage can help maximize your success and rewards.
