POE 3.3 Uber Lab Champion Build

Without Resolute Technique, the build is now able to crit, only in a 5% chance. This does not mean much when it comes to damage, however, it provides a little indirect buff via Kondo's Pride which has 30% opportunity to blind on crit. It will not be helpful for normal monsters, however, it might offer an extra edge against bosses who'll get hit by our totems on multiple occasions.

The leveling priority of Ascendancy points has changed to Conqueror --> Worthy Foe --> Unstoppable Hero --> Fortitude.

Strengths:

- Beginner and new league "friendly" - the build is very simple in design and execution.
- Budget-friendly. Start with rare items and upgrade to the suggested unique items once you can afford it.
- Easy and fast to level.
- Very tanky.
- Permanent Fortify & Onslaught.
- High life regeneration, making labyrinth traps easier to deal with.
- Your totems can taunt, making bosses much less dangerous.
- Good for farming Uber lab, Atziri and Guardians. Shaper is doable too if you upgrade from Kondo's Pride to Starforge.

Weaknesses:

- Some people don't enjoy the "totem playstyle"

Gem Setup

Damage setup:

- Ancestral Warchief, Maim, Brutality, Melee Physical Damage, Concentrated Effect (5-link) & Ruthless (6-link).

Note: For mapping, I suggest using Faster Attacks instead of Concentrated Effect.

Mobility, Cull & Curse

- Leap Slam, Faster Attacks, Culling Strike & Vulnerability.

Note: Even though Ancestral Bond prevents you from dealing damage; leaping unto an enemy while it is below 10% still triggers the culling effect and thus kills it.

Utility 1:

- Enduring Cry, Increased Duration, Stone Golem & Life Leech.

CWDT Setup

- CWDT (lvl 6), Immortal Call (lvl 8), Vortex (lvl 9), Inc. Duration (max level).

Note: With this setup, it is crucial that your gems are precisely the level as published above, otherwise it will not work. Should you accidentally over-level a jewel marketing it towards the vendor along with an orb of hunting to de-level it by 1. Or market it along with an orb of regret to send it back to level 1. If you don't have much time to farm orb, you can get Path of exile currency from the online website, yes, some websites offering the Poe Service to all players.



Optional, defensive setup for the budget version (No Kaom's Heart):

- Vengeance, Knockback, Life Gain on Hit & Blind.

Finished skill-tree at level 93 and 114 points: https://bit.ly/2LStHjK

Note: That if you at any point need more intelligence to level your gems then simply pick up the 30+ notables in the skill-tree and/or search the vendors for a Lapis Amulet.

Pantheon powers

- Soul of Solaris (great for boss encounters)
- Soul of Ryslate (filling up potions and extra effect of health potions)

Leveling Tips

1. Level 1-12: Use Cleave, linked with Chance to Bleed & Maim.

2. Level 12+ until you grab Ancestral Bond: Use sunder with a 2-handed axe, mace or staff. Link Sunder with Chance to Bleed, Maim and once you reach level 18 and/or get have a 4-link add in Melee Physical Damage

3. Once you get Ancestral Bond, start using Warchief Totems, optimally in a 4-link.

Note: Once you pick up Ancestral Bond your character can no longer deal damage with skills. You will have to rely on your totems from there on.

4. Level 50-60+ try getting yourself a cheap 5-linked armor for your Warchief setup.

5. Level 61+ Get Kondo’s Pride.

Note: until you pick up blood magic and/or use the brutality support gem I’d recommend running Herald of Ash and Hatred for a nice temporary damage boost.

Bandit quest:

- Help Oak (phys damage, mitigation, and life regeneration!)

Unique items for leveling (OPTIONAL):

Armour:

- Wanderlust
- Goldrim

Weapons:

- 2x The Screaming Eagle
- Limpsplit
- Wideswing
- Reaper’s Pursuit
- Rigwald’s Charge

Note: These products is going to be costly throughout the very start of league and can then quickly stop by cost a couple of days in searching Poe currency market. It's totally fine to simply stay with rare products throughout the leveling process.

Threshold “guidelines”

Kitava, Act 5:

- 1000-1400+ Life
- 35%+ to all elemental resistances
- Conqueror Ascendancy

Arakali, Act 7:

- 1900-2300+ Life
- 40%+ to all elemental resistances
- 4 or 5-link

Kitava & Maps, Act 10:

- 4000+ Life
- 75%+ to all elemental resistances
- Worthy Foe & Unstoppable Hero Ascendancy
- 5-link +

Uber Lab Farming:

- 5000-6000+ Life
- 75%+ to all elemental resistances
- 5-link +
- 35.000+ DPS per totem
- Avoid Essence + Conduits if the lab has those buffs that day. You can deal with 1, but not both at the same time. At least not without too much risk.

The Shaper/Elder:

- 6700+ Life
- 75%+ to all elemental resistances
- All 8 Ascendancy's
- 5-link Stargeforge (you might need a 6-link)
- 90.000+ DPS per totem
- The Shaper/Elder fight are very mechanical fights. Don't expect to kill him in your first try. It takes practice.

Note: these are all per definition "guidelines" try and aim for these numbers, but don't get discouraged if you are a bit off.

Gearing

Look for these stats on your rare gear (in priority):

Important:

1. Life
2. Elemental Resistances

Not very important:

3. Attack speed & Flat physical damage (only on rings and gloves)
4. Intelligence (only if you need it to progress gem leveling)

My Current Gear:

- Refer to the PoB Pastebin link to see both the budget and expensive version gear choices.

Jewels:

- Maximum life
- Physical/Melee/Sword/Totem Damage/Area Damage
- Attack Speed
- Resistances

Flasks:

- 1x Seething Divine Life Flasks of Staunching
- 1x Ample Sulphur Flask of Heat (prevents you from getting frozen when opening strongboxes)
- 1x Avenger’s Basalt Flask of Warding
- 1x Ample Quicksilver Flask of Heat
- 1x Lion’s Roar

Note: before you have more familiarity with the labyrinth traps, I suggest using a minimum of 2 health flasks. Also, before getting a Perseverance belt, get a Silver Flask, to use onslaught.
