So general consensus is that this is still strong and a decent league starter? Chaos slinger seems like a really strong option to get through acts and get the starting gear.


I think the fastest way to level this build is stormblast mine + frost bomb early on then u can respec and \ or switch to chaos slinger. But the downside of this is its just too complicated so u have to pratice a lot before league start in order to get efficient. Tyty has a video of this:

Video of the passive tree because u should get some spell dmg nodes before chaos nodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B1MtEQyU2k&t=1202s

Thanks for the tips. I was just practicing ED + contagion to get me to chaos slinger, but man does it feel clunky at low levels. I think that recommendation came from previous patches, so might attempt this instead.

I tried to practice with ED/C as well, but really wasn't a fan (both slinger and self-cast).

In the end, Soulrend + Bane seemed to be much more efficient as far as I could tell.
Is this getting a 3.16 update?

You mean taking Bane around level 30 through maps instead of chaos slinger? Even people on the Bane builds are talking about leveling as slinger, do you think Bane is in a better spot for that or does souldrend make it good for leveling? I'll probably stick to chaos slinger for the fun gameplay anyway, it's the level 1-30 that I need to learn with stormblast / frost mines. But if you have any guides detailing soulrend/bane leveling I'd be interested.

It's already started, read back a few pages for the initial POB links from a couple people.

Ah yes, I meant picking up Soulrend/Bane around level 25-30.

And I don't think Bane itself is better. Soulrend has insane DPS early on, and combined with the curses from Bane, it worked pretty well with my playstyle.
It's probably not objectively better than ED/C, but I like it more. ;)

And below 25, I guess you can really take whatever gems if you're not racing.

I'm new to chaos builds too, just learning. Makes POE so fun when it's totally unique from previous plays.

This is a good starting guide for chaos slinger:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f64_ErxrUA
(ignoring the early leveling and the final builds, but can use that as a template for 30 through early maps)
Basically two spell slinger links to start:
SS + Soulrend + GMP (lesser to start)
SS + Essence Drain + Contagion

Using frenzy to attack

Another quick guide that goes step by step in the setup:

Another great leveling guide by Subtractum just out for 3.16 looks like a good option for this:

Keeping it simple, using the same gear set up as Paruz and Neo.

Still room for one more aura but needs some better life recovery (like Carrion) or use vitality.

4.3m dps
5.5 life and 750 ES


I want to try out Death's Oath for my league starter. Is this the "Best" current POB we got? I havent find any real "guide" for 3.16 yet.

I will level as Bane/ED/Blight until I get DO and everything I need.
@f4ward do you intend to update before league start or should i look elsewhere?
