Overview
This is a heavily invested, tanky Warrior built around the Smith of Kitava ascendancy and a volcanic fire theme. The goal is to be effectively immortal while still hitting hard enough to clear the hardest pinnacle content — the creator demonstrates kills on Arbiter of Divinity and Arbiter of Ash at level 82. It is a deep-endgame project rather than a league starter: the total cost is quoted at roughly 70–80 Divine Orbs and is expected to climb as the league goes on.
The build leans on the Smith of Kitava’s weapon-skill granting and stacked armour to soak punishment, then converts that survivability into a confident, deliberate boss-killing playstyle. If you want a character that can stand in pinnacle mechanics and keep swinging, this is the archetype.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Extremely tanky — built to feel immortal against pinnacle bosses
- Proven Arbiter of Divinity and Arbiter of Ash kills at level 82
- Strong, reliable single-target fire damage
- Clear, structured progression (mapping → pinnacle) shown by the creator
Cons
- Very expensive: ~70–80 Divine Orbs, rising with the league
- Not a league starter — needs the gear and weapon corruption to come online
- Setup gotcha: 5-socket your granted-skill weapon BEFORE corrupting it; Perfect Jeweller’s Orbs cannot add sockets to a corrupted weapon
Key Skills
- Smith of Kitava granted weapon skills — the offensive core; socket them to 5 links before corrupting
- Volcanic / fire melee damage — primary damage type for clear and single target
- (Full gem links and support choices to be confirmed against the source video.)
Gear & Anointments
The build is gear-gated and built around a corrupted, 5-socketed weapon plus heavy armour stacking and jewels. A Path of Building is provided in the source: poe.ninja PoB. Specific uniques, jewels, and stat priorities should be confirmed against the video and PoB.
Endgame Notes
This is fundamentally an endgame and pinnacle-boss build. The creator walks through mapping first, then dedicated Arbiter of Divinity and Arbiter of Ash setups at level 82, with a warning to handle weapon socketing before corruption.
