3.28 Dance With Death Energy Blade Jugg/Full use of Esh of the Storm Bloodline
![]() I've been having a lot of fun with a version of this build by Alohaa! It is pretty tanky and dishes out all kinds of damage. Here is Alohaa's version: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1rh6kv3/328_dance_with_death_energy_blade_juggernaut/ My version is using Static Strike of Gathering Lightning which clears well and puts out pretty good single target damage. I've modified it somewhat to take full use of the Esh of the Storm bloodline ascendancy. The challenge in getting this to work is that it requires 2 synaptic rings and 4 foulborn uniques to unlock all the bonuses, which is even more challenging since you're rolling without a helmet because of the Dance With Death keystone. What's great is that it works so well that it seems like this build was built for this bloodline ascendancy. Right now I have 6200 life, 2500 es (if I feel like using it) tons of leech. 78,78,81,12 resistances, the chaos doesn't need to be capped since the foulborn Ghostwrithe mitigates chaos damage. Respectable 19 million DPS. It was pretty cheap to get this build going and it it takes well to gradual improvements and tweaking. Here's my current POB I'm sure things can be improved: https://pobb.in/0Wcx7Ao2Jfqb Here's current gear, remember the sword turns into an energy blade I bought this one because I think it looks good in town and goes with my outfit.

I've managed to boost the damage by slotting Blood Rage, Energy Blade, and Precision in the chest to be buffed by Empower and Enhance. I threw Lightning Warp in there to make it usable with the boosts, it offers several advantages as a movement option, it gets boosted by the bloodline, and it fits the theme. I just bought the Awakened Enhance but everything was getting boosted well with regular versions.
Conversely you can put the Purity of Elements and Divine Blessing set up in the chest to get boosted which I might do to see if I can get rings and belt with better damage mods. Here's the new POB: https://pobb.in/qnEN_qvzvyZz And I made a quick video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImGtu0hWmWk Last edited by Nizreb915#3583 on Apr 1, 2026, 1:35:34 AM
