Today, we will be showcasing some neat builds from Keepers of the Flame. Whether it’s something new or something powerful, we hope these builds inspire you. This is just a brief overview, so if you want to learn more about any of them, check out the links to the creators! Jorgen’s Spectral Helix Gladiator First up, we have a Spectral Helix Gladiator created by Jorgen, a build with an unreasonable amount of health that lets you face-tank Uber bosses with ease. To get these defenses, he utilises the new Aul Bloodline Ascendancy's Precursor's Release, so that you cannot be stunned, take no extra damage from critical strikes, and cannot be slowed if you have no socketed gems in your helmet, gloves, and boots. For health, they changed the colours of the empty sockets to red so they can use The Untouched Soul Amulet for a significant increase in maximum life. Then, they also use The Apostate armour, complemented by Warlock Gloves and Boots, to turn maximum Energy Shield to maximum Life. Of course, with such a ridiculous health pool we might wonder if we can turn it into damage scaling. Jorgen has done just that by using the Grey Wind Spectral Axe, which adds fire damage equal to 12% of the player's maximum life, and Rathpith Globe Shield to increase spell damage per 100 player maximum life. Lolcohol’s Kinetic Fusillade Elementalist There’s a new skill in 3.27 and it’s Kinetic Fusillade, a hovering kinetic projectile that can shoot like a machine gun if you know how to tweak it. In this build, Lolcohol is going to show us how. To reduce the base duration before the projectile is fired, they used Timeclasp Ring, Warped Timepiece Amulet and Less Duration Gem. For further duration reduction, they recommend anointing your amulet with the Window of Opportunity or Hasty Demise passive. They are able to reduce the duration from 0.7 seconds to 0.07 seconds in this build! Even though it looks simple, they have some additional tips to make sure that you can utilise the speed without sacrificing the damage in his video guide here . GhazzyTV’s Dark Pact Necromancer In this video, GhazzyTV is going to show us a budget friendly build utilising the new Bloodline Ascendancy supporting minion skills. This build uses two button rotations between Summon Skeleton and Dark Pact that will chain between the Skeleton and bring it to the enemy. With Catarina’s Bloodline, it can increase our damage and the health of our minions so the Dark Pact can sustain longer. PhazePlay’s Bleed Slam of Earthshaking Slayer Our final build today is a fantastic mapper build with enormous damage. With the transfigured version of Ground Slam, it can provide screenwide coverage! For a Bleed Slam build, they use Static Strike and Vulnerability to aggravate bleeding, then Rallying Cry for a damage buff. After that, spam your slam to get the bleed rolling. If you’re still struggling to find Ground Slam of Earthshaking, you can swap to Sunder which is also good for penetrating Hive Fortress defenses. For gear, they use Ryslatha’s Coil to gain life leech and Haemophilia to increase damage against Bleeding enemies. They also use a Spiking Uulgraft to increase the chance of bleeding. A simple straightforward build for those that want to try a high damage Ground Slam build this league. Thanks to all Exiles out there creating exciting and unique builds, and in particular those Exiles we've highlighted in this news post!
