Level 93 Lightning Strike Slayer^3.28

Notes

Welcome to another Leaguestart (SSF) PoB.

As always, this is not a fully handheld guide, but rather a cheat sheet for the intermediate+ experienced player
If you know your way around PoB and the game, this should give you all the info you need to finish your atlas and start farming

Loot Filters for all stages can be found on;

For Atlas trees and other builds check my spreadsheet on;

=== IMPORTANT ===
This build does NOT play Lightning Strike until the mid level 80's, instead it levels with both the concoction skills and makes a late swap. 
It is my preference to go faster, but is worth mentioning before proceeding.

Regex for campaign, links, boots, etc;
-[rgb]-.-|g-g-[gr]|g-g|g-r|r-g|nne|rint|buckler|corroded

Use Iron rings and flat damage on gloves/rings throughout the campaign, including bench crafts.
Get new life flasks on lvl 12, 18 & 24 for Pconc
Upgrade shields to higher movespeed implicits at lvl 16 and 29
Equip and craft Life & Res everywhere, no other stats are really needed, but  you can bench Atk speed on shield and flat/wed on gloves/jewelerry which will help

=== DO NOT LEVEL PRECISION > LEVEL IT STARTING IN ACT 7 OR IF YOUR HP IS TOO HIGH ===

Offhand leveling whilst playing Econc; 
1x Lightning Strike (put quality in when you do labs)
1x Multistrike
1x Trinity
1x Leap Slam

In Act 5, pick a Topaz flask from the quest rewards

Your flasks during the campaign will be
1-2x Life
1-2x Quicksilver
1x Topaz
1x Mana

Upon entering maps have a clear Atlas plan, you can find my leaguestart setups in the spreadsheet linked above.
For this build we will be going; Map sustain > essence > breach > harvest whilst doing the League mechanic

Spell Suppression matters, have this specced relatively early from 67-80.
If you go fast and vertical in the atlas have this setup before entering Red Maps at the latest.

As soon as you enter maps you want to start checking the Reaver base swords for later.
When using my filter these will be highlighted and easy to grab.

At this point other then a Quicksilver and Life flask, use flasks as you like (e.g. Amethyst for chaos res)

You will notice a drop in power from Econc around Eater/Exarch stone, it's therefore important you prep ahead for the LS swap.
- Gems leveled in offhand and 20% quality on LS
	- You want the Vaal version by the time you finish up the Atlas. So Vaal Orb as soon as you have a 2nd 20% qual until you hit (to not brick the non vaal projectiles until you do)
- A Reaver base sword that's usable (~400 ele dps, ~500dps combined)
	- You can use essences, harvest juice and gold as you see fit on your way up to this
- A Prismatic tincture, check vendors in Epilogue for these if needed.
- Projectiles Pierce prefix craft on your helmet (not mandatory at this stage, but helps with clear)

Do blights, don't slack on the cheap annoint for a nice chunk of dps
After swapping to LS and finishing your atlas & stones, you want to focus on getting better rares before upgrading your weapon further.
Spend resources (Essence, Harvest Juice, Wombgifts) on higher bases to prepare for a swap to determination and molten shell, ideally including supression rolls.
Craft damage prefixes on most slots as listed in the PoB.

You should keep ID'ing Reaver swords on the side to check for a cheeky upgrade when your weapon is still easily replaced.

Once you have a decent setup going with suppression on top (~15k armour) you can spend resources on getting a better weapon next.

I would advice sticking to a 5-link with good stats over a random mismatched 6-link, you do not need the 6th link in my opinion for Non Uber content.

If you're going to spend Ichors/Embers, I'd prioritise on your body armour first for Endurance charges per 15 seconds (Ember)
Spend Ichors on your gloves to hit Projectile Pierce.
(Optional, do this if you are not comfortable with your damage for Voidstones loadout. > Run labs for LS 20% gems, and Vaal them for the Vaal Skill)


=== Week 1 Loadouts are set to a mapping config, since the main point of this build is to farm up after voidstones by blasting maps fast, adjust to Pinnacle as needed when comparing your own character ===

After finishing most of your atlas and your voidstones, we will focus on Legion first, if lucky you get a cheeky Geomancer with a good base, but I wouldn't count on this.
Legion generates us some bubblegum and mainly we are after a Lethal Pride jewel, this frees up strength requirements across our entire gearset at this point, try and find double damage nodes.
Take this time to also getting a proper automated and rolled flask setup.

Once you have a Lethal Pride that is suitable, focus on making your first 6-link if you don't have it yet.

Fusings Craft:
	- Recomb bases for 3x T2+ defensive rolls (Need ilvl 86+ for T1) > lock prefix, reforge phys for PDR > Bench suppress

6-Link already:
	- Harvest reforge defense until happy > lock prefix, reforge phys for PDR if missing > Bench suppress

When you have a 6-link and your shock immunity sorted (Boots/Stygian/Jewels), it's time to farm Yoke from Fortress.

You should also invest time in getting good rare gear and all your Eldritch implicits if you haven't yet.

If you have your Yoke, Perseverance, Lethal Pride, a 6-link and strong rare equipment, you can now farm everything in the game, but Ubers will require you to play them cleanly.
Personally I would start with doing Syndicate for both XP and veiled currencies for later

Any further improvements from the build from here on out I trust you to be capable of figuring out from here.
Take inspiration from the MinMax loadout examples and work with what you have yourself.
If you want to follow my progress or ask any questions feel free to hop in on my stream.

Stay sane and good luck Exiles! Have a great Leaguestart!

I've been asked a few times now across multiple builds how Tri-Ele crafted weapons go in self found and how I make them so here is a step by step guide.

	1. Collect ilvl 82+ bases of your weapon type and chuck them in a Quad tab
	2. Apply a regex for T1 ele rolls and alt/aug your Quad tab
	3. Set aside highlighted bases
	4. Recomb bases together for 2p/1s results (33%)
	5. Recomb the 2p/1 bases (33%)
	6. Once you have triple prefixes base, craft Prefixes cannot be changed
	7. Reforge Speed on harvest for AS, repeat with Prefixes cannot be changed until you are happy with what you got (1/12 chance to fill all suffixes > yolo annul)
	8. Multimod + Prefixes cannot be changed > Veiled Exalt orb (1/3 chance to remove your AS suffix, redo step 7)
	9. Block the damage per x charge unveils by benching it on before unveiling (generally speaking, check CoE for the correct blocker depending on weapon base)
	10. Unveil your desired mod, otherwise repeat step 8 and 9, then finish with a benchcraft for the last suffix that fits the build this weapon is for
	11. Harvest Enchant the weapon and apply colors and links

Bonus steps if applicable (For items with no or bad implicits, e.g. Spine Bow)
	12. Synthesise your item for an implicit with harvest
	13. Reroll the synth implicits with Einhar beasts in the menagerie (rare!)
