[Path of Exile | 3.23] – Transcendence Poison Penance Brand Pathfinder – Build Guide!

This build is all about tanking the toughest challenges while still dishing out serious damage. Transcendence makes me pretty much invincible against elemental attacks, but vulnerable to physical hits. With the right setup, I can face tank Uber bosses and clear maps like nobody's business. It's all about converting damage, mitigating hits, and maximizing poison damage. A high budget build that's worth every penny! 💪🏼😎

💥 Choosing the Right Build

In my latest video, I discuss my journey through the Affliction League with the Transcendence Poison Penance Brand Pathfinder build. As an avid lover of Transcendence, I decided to create a build that could stand its ground against Uber bosses while maintaining optimal gameplay experience.

🛡️ Understanding Transcendence

The Transcendence Keystone, granted by High Templar Maxos, has the power to transform incoming damage. By converting physical hits to elemental hits, it provides a significant advantage against certain damage types. However, the vulnerability to some forms of damage still remains, emphasizing the need for additional defensive measures.

🔮 Ensuring Defensive Layers

To mitigate the vulnerability due to the armor changes, I've incorporated multiple sources of damage taken conversions and resistance modifiers to create a robust defensive structure. This allows for a strong defense against Elemental damage and chaos, while also providing substantial mitigation for various forms of attacks.

Defensive Layer Overview

Defensive Measures	Percentage/Value
Maximum Resistance	55%
Armor Values	30,000
Additional Elemental Damage	Half the Chaos Resistance
Essence of Loow Modifier	100% Mana Reservation Efficiency

⚔️ Managing Offensive Capability

While the build primarily prioritizes defense, the offensive capability is equally important. With the ability to convert physical damage to chaos and properly managing poison chance and duration, the build strikes a balance between offense and defense for a comprehensive gameplay experience.
