Holy Sweep Juggernaut Full Guide - Includes Leveling PoBs, Generic Endgame Setup, and an EXAMPLE of a high investment setup - alongside full leveling guide with gems and a crafting guide for each item in the generic endgame setup.

Hey all! Usually I make a build for my dad each league for various reasons. I usually just give them to him, but since he wanted to use a new skill and there's been a lack of Holy Sweep guides posted I figured I would make a slightly more polished setup to post here for anyone who wants them.

DISCLAIMERS: I will not be personally league starting this, and this will not be tested. I try my best to make the builds as fool-proof as possible, but no promises on this being the next meta build. (Actually, there is one promise: this won't be the next meta build).

Since the builds are primarily for my dad, they are designed with him in mind - this means there may be choices made for him and how he likes to play that may be suboptimal for general players. For instance, Abyssus is a 40% DPS increase in the helmet slot - many players will prefer the increased DPS despite the downside. More of this is explained in the Notes for the generic endgame PoB.

Here are the 3 PoBs for Holy Sweep:

https://pobb.in/x6CPFcNxZ6zI  - Leveling guide - includes gem list and quest rewards, and 5 versions of the tree by level, plus a basic/low-tier endgame setup. Does not include items. There are some nodes that are unallocated between trees - do watch out for those if you're planning to play this! You can use Faustus to respec for very cheap in the campaign.

https://pobb.in/ROgpo6wqNqa- - Endgame guide - includes a full tree, crafting guide, watcher's eye mod list, the best 2 timeless jewel seeds, some extra items both as examples and to show some more endgame/high investment options.

https://pobb.in/TDtNleYMsGxC - This is the LEAST POLISHED PoB. This is not a full build guide, just a showcase of one idea I had for scaling this skill into the hyper end game. I do not have the time or energy to fully test each option for hyper endgame scaling - I have to work on my own build still before launch. This is purely included as an option for those who do not know how to make their own builds, and as some groundwork for those who do but have not started to make hyper endgame pobs yet.

Other points to mention:

I did not include Shock in the config, since Shock can be highly variable for non-Elementalist builds based on if you roll inversion, crit, your damage variance in general, etc. PoB estimates a 17% shock on pinnacles in the generic endgame setup.

The 22/0 Sweep Gem is a very close approximation to Holy Sweep with Hammers hitting. The have the same attack speed. Holy Sweep has a 440% damage effectiveness for the sweep, and the hammers deal 35% less damage. 440 x .65 = 286, meaning the hammers have a 286% effectiveness. Adding those together, 20/20 Holy Sweep has a total of 726% damage effectiveness. Level 22 Sweep has 722% effectiveness. 22/0 Sweep has a base AoE of 2.8, the same as Holy Sweep.

I do use the classic "leave suffixes open and add resists to custom mods".

The endgame pob is level 99 - the first nodes to drop are Soul of Steel and the 2 small life nodes on Bloodless if you prefer to lose defense, or Wrecking Ball if you prefer to lose offense.
