Dear exiles, I will show you the three most-played builds of the Affliction League week one. Data was collected from poe.ninja.
1. Lightning Arrow Deadeye
The most popular build, amazingly being played by over 20% of high-level players, is the lightning Arrow Deadeye with the Ranger Class. Even though Vengeant Cascade was nerfed, the introduction of the returning projectile support gem kept this build super fast and strong, which caused most of the players to choose it. In this guide, you'll find two versions of this build: a budget and a complete one. Each one has its own PoB and passive tree. So you can start this build even on a low budget and upgrade it later.
Pros
Awesome Clear Speed
Awesome Boss Damage
This build is easy for farming currency.
Easy to build
Safe Ranged Attacks
Cons
Not very tanky
Budget
To clear white maps
4 links + cheap gear
To clear yellow maps
5 links + mid gear
150 x Chaos Orbs
To complete the Atlas
6 links + good gear
In the budget version, you only need one mandatory unique item, the Yoke of Suffering amulet, which gives you Elemental damage to shock. This way, our enemies will take more damage.
On the other hand, in the complete version, in addition to the Yoke of Suffering, you will also need the Lioneye's Fall and the Thread of Hope unique Jewels. They are expensive but give a huge boost to your damage.
Clear Speed: 10/10
Boss Damage: 10/10
Survivability: 8/10
2. SRS Guardian
Next, we have a minion build that has been chosen as the main skill for over 9% of high-level players, the Summon Raging Spirits Guardian with the Templar Class. As you know, minion builds are among the best builds out there, and I think this one has the best cost/benefit. It's a simple and safe build to complete all content without much investment or effort. It's awesome for beginners.
Pros
Cheap
Super tanky
Great boss damage
Currency farmer
Excellent starter
Awesome for beginners
Easy to build
Easy leveling
Safe gameplay
3 free auras
Cons
No evasion
Can't leech life or mana
Spirits need to be cast all the time.
Budget
To clear white maps
4 links + cheap gear
60 x Chaos Orbs
To clear yellow maps
5 links + mid gear
100 x Chaos Orbs
To complete the Atlas
6 links + good gear
4 x Divine Orbs
Clear Speed: 8/10
Boss Damage: 9/10
Survivability: 10/10
3. Tornado Shot Deadeye
Finally, we have another Archer build, which is being used by over 7% of high-level players, the Tornado Shot Deadeye with the Ranger class. Tornado Shot is so strong that it doesn't need a Returning Projectile support gem. This way, as I did with the Lightning Arrow build, you can keep your Mirage Archer for a smoother, clearer speed. The complete guide of this one will also count with two versions of the build, a budget and a complete one. You can start this build even on a low budget and upgrade it later.
Pros
Awesome clear speed
Awesome boss damage
Currency farmer
Easy to build
Safe ranged attacks
Cons
Not very Tanky
Budget
To clear white maps
4 links + cheap gear
80 x Chaos Orbs
To clear yellow maps
