Introduction to the Corrupting Cry Build:

The core of this build centers around the Corrupting Cry support gem. Keep in mind that this gem is relatively new, so we don't have in-game footage yet. However, Sai, a skilled player who collaborates on creating builds, will start a league with this concept.

Build Basics:

With decent gear, the build boasts around 4.2 million damage, making it appear as a promising starter. However, numbers can be deceiving, so it's not recommended for inexperienced players. Newcomers might struggle and feel left behind if things don't go smoothly. The guide emphasizes the need for existing Path of Exile knowledge to address potential issues.

Leveling and Skill Progression:

For leveling, the guide suggests using Spectral Throw as a primary skill, and even provides an alternate skill set featuring physical damage over time skills like Venom Gyre. The guide acknowledges that there's no detailed step-by-step leveling guide, but it's recommended to level with these skills.

Endgame Options:

The build offers flexibility in terms of using one or two war cries. The choice between using just one war cry or doubling up affects your gameplay style. A notable strategy is using a weapon swap to trigger Adrenaline, which requires some expertise to execute effectively.

Gem Setup:

In terms of gem setup, Pride, Determination, and Malevolence are recommended. The choice between Grace and Determination depends on your preference for tankiness or damage. Additionally, War Banner and a movement speed setup are advised. The guide provides insight into gem choices and their synergies.

Champion Ascendancy:

The Champion ascendancy is chosen for this build, offering Fortify, Adrenaline, Inspirational, and more. These choices enhance the build's damage output and survivability.

Gear and Crafting:

The gear setup is detailed but not overly complex. Notable mentions include using Fair Essence on a weapon, crafting delirium gloves using a specific process, and focusing on life and resistances. The guide provides advice on crafting the delirium gloves, which can significantly boost your damage output.

War Cry Strategy:

The build introduces a unique concept of "shouting your enemies to death." The primary skill is Corrupting Cry, supported by the Reaper skill for extra damage.

Anoint, Bandits, and Strategy:

Veteran Soldier is recommended for the anointment, while the Bandits quest is solved by "Kill All." The guide acknowledges the inherent risk of trying a new build as a starter and emphasizes the importance of having knowledge to address any challenges that arise.
