Key Takeaways:

  • The counter-attack build features Eviscerate and Retaliate skills, providing a unique playstyle and powerful damage potential.
  • Leveling with the safe Sunder setup is recommended, but players can watch Katha’s gameplay with the retaliate setup for inspiration.
  • Block recovery and unwavering stance are crucial for survivability, as blocking hits can still result in stun.
  • Path of Building is a valuable tool for planning and optimizing the build, and Zizaran provides a detailed breakdown of the skill tree and gear recommendations.

Build Overview:

Zizaran describes the counter-attack build as one that relies on Shield Charge for clearing groups of enemies, while retaliate skills are used for fighting bosses. These retaliate skills should link together efficiently, resulting in a high level of damage. Although the Maven battle might present some difficulties, this build is expected to perform well during mapping and encounters with bosses as a whole. War attrition can be employed to enhance boss fights. For newcomers, it’s essential to focus on block recovery and maintaining an unwavering stance initially, in order to avoid being stun-locked and ensure a more enjoyable gaming experience. As players progress, they should aim for having a good amount of block before transitioning to iron reflexes and the unwavering stance to effectively absorb damage.

Leveling and Gear:

Zizaran offers a detailed guide on leveling up in Path of Exile, initiating with Spectral Throw and switching to Sunder at level 12. Unfortunately, Retaliate skill gems aren’t accessible in the game yet, so players can refer to Katha’s live footage for guidance instead. In the endgame, this build emphasizes physical damage, life, and resistances. Flasks are essential and Zizaran suggests particular affixes for maximum efficiency. Although higher-level gear is discussed, Zizaran underlines that the build can still thrive without extremely costly items.

Final Thoughts:

Zizaran is thrilled about Katha’s unwavering commitment to developing and refining the counter-attack build. He invites viewers to tune in to Katha’s live streams for more information and assistance with the build. There’s a possibility that Zizaran will talk to Katha about the build’s effectiveness in the league. Regardless of whether players opt for Sunder or try out the retaliate setup, Zizaran wishes everyone an enjoyable experience while following the build guide and progressing through their Path of Exile adventure.
