Path of Exile 3.17 – Abuse Phantasmal Ancestral Protector for Double Melee Damage
19Hey Exiles, it seems that Ancestral Protector is quite broken. Phanstasmal Ancestral Protector grants 1% buff effect for every 1% quality, and we can scale (and abuse this) with many of the new items.
It also seems that this method flies under the radar of most players since prices for necessary items are super cheap at the time of recording this video. All you need is the special version of the gem, Ashes of the Stars, a helmet enchantment, and an annointment (Panopticon) and you are good to go. Easy 50% more damage.
If you are on a marauder and want to go all in, use forbidden flesh and forbidden flame to allocate 'Tukohama, War's Herald'. My Ice Crash Juggernaut get's 83% more damage by doing all this, which equals adding three additional damage gems! It's crazy.
Unfortunately, this does not work with Ancestral Warchief as this gem does not have any alternate quality versions with buff effect, but if you have annointet Panopticon, you can use both your Protector and your Warchief totem at the same time.
