11/10/2022 3:42:38 PM

In this guide, we go over the builds that ended up winning Mayhem and why XP Races allow for much better build diversity in poe. A lot of community members were upset about how Mayhem ended up being a mini gauntlet when they just wanted to blast.

Top 1 Build - Softcore Trade

-Havoc ended up getting level 100 first with Spark Carry in a full team of Supports.

-Finished in around 33 hours.

-Showcases why SSF has to exist in order for there to be competitive events.

-XP Gear in giga-juiced maps is unbeatable unless there is a supply of 5 ways.

Lamellar: Hate Mantle

Top 2 Build - Mayhem SSF

-Poisonous Concoction Occultist dominated SC SSF.

-Boneshatter with Juggernaut and Slayer Variant also performed super well due to its incredible mapping speed, which scales with density.

Top 3 Build - Mayhem HC SSF

-SSF HC showcases more build diversity since Demigods are awarded for top of each Ascendancy rather than top 6 Overall.

-Main different is Occultist Poisonous was not that popular since the build is not super tanky.

-HC Players prefer Cold DOT due to playstyle.

-Seismic Trap is still extremely strong for both mapping and bossing even after 50 Nerfs.

-Boneshatter is an amazing skill for XP Race Events.

Final Tips for POE 3.19 Best Mayhem Event Builds

Why did GGG add mods to this event and try to turn it into a mini-Gauntlet? Cold DOT is the build of Mayhem for HCSSF with a wide variety of ascendancies, spectral Helix is too slow for mapping, and lightning Strike gear requirement is too high in a shot event, does anyone even play HC Trade?
