Level 1 → Uber Arbiter | No Skill Points Run

Build Showcase

TL;DR: Firestorm Stormweaver, no passive tree, ~250 div, Uber Arbiter kill

Hey Exiles,
inspired by the Naked Monk, I wanted to try to beat Uber Arbiter without a skill tree. I played a Firestorm Stormweaver from level 1 to Uber Arbiter without using the passive skill tree. I did use all 8 ascendancy skill points and an anoint.

Why Stormweaver / Firestorm?
Stormweaver gives +2 limit to spells, which combined with Unleash and Firestorm + Elemental Infusions leads to very strong DPS. During Firestorm, Living Bomb can be used to further boost damage and generate additional Fire Infusions. Ice Infusions are easily generated with Frost Bomb and Short Fuse, while Lightning Infusions are created with Orb of Storms.
Another advantage is that equipment with +level to fire skills is relatively cheap on the market, which helps a lot when scaling damage purely through gear.

How can you deal damage without a skill tree?
Flat damage in PoE2 mainly comes from gem levels. % increased damage is obtained from weapon, focus, and gloves. Penetration comes from Rakiata’s Flow, and the main more damage multiplier is Trinity.
Crit is unfortunately very hard to implement without being Blood Mage and without access to the passive tree, so this is a non-crit setup.

What gear did you use?
The build was made on a budget of around 250 divines and does not use any mirror-tier gear.

Attribute and resistance problems?
Attributes are solved through a rare Breach ring or amulet. Resistances can be solved using Morior Invictus.

Defenses for Uber Arbiter:
For Uber Arbiter specifically, I used a Tabula Rasa with +7 max fire resistance (1 from corruption and 6 from jewels), gloves with +2 max fire resistance, and a belt with damage taken from mana before life.

Playtime:
16 hours and 41 minutes total, including AFK time and POB planning.
