Mechanics for POE 3.22 Ruetoo’s Corrupting Fever Champion Build

For the main clearing ability for this POE 3.22 mapping start build, we use spectral throw, applying corrupting fever and bleed to explode packs with haemophilia. On Tanky rares, you'll cast reap, making sure to save a use of vaal reap or the map boss where you'll attach a storm brand to tick and apply corrupting fever for you, while you unload your vaal recharge causing a pool of physical damage over time to erupt underneath your enemy's feet. Vaal reap will also empower your future reap casts with the increase in max blood charges, so you'll want to make sure you continue casting reap on the boss for optimal damage. We'll obtain a nice amount of recovery from things like life regen and life on kill found from the passive tree. And physical leech obtained later on from our belt or from a glorious vanity node. You'll boost your single target through auras-like Pride, War Banner, Malevolence and Herald of Purity while boosting your defenses through determination, properly rolled flasks and simply being a champion with nearly 100% uptime on adrenaline.

Ascendancy

Champion is the best ascendancy for this build because of its sources of free damage and defense, it creates a perfect combination for our league start corrupting fever. First to Strike, Last to Fall allows you to trigger the low life state by pressing your large life cost corrupting fever in return giving you adrenaline. You get to obtain this very powerful buff all the way from act 3 which gives 100% increased damage which physical damage over time builds are severely lacking early on. 10% physical damage reduction to assist in early fizz mitigation and 25 attack cast and movement speed, making our leveling and map clearing smoother with the speed increases to attacking with Helix, Whirling Blade and casting with reap. Champion also obtains unstoppable hero and fortitude, giving a free 20% less damage taken in the form of 20 fortification stacks and 20 attack speed and stun immunity for that buttery smooth mapping. Your Uber lab will be inspirational giving 30% or effect, which is a massive damage and defense boost while also providing a free War Banner, bringing our mana up to equip malevolence in the mid game and Herald of Purity in the end game.

The Respec

This build requires a slight Respec where you'll have a few random passive nodes. You'll have to use your first regrets on, but it's more than worth it for the better and smoother leveling experience.

Best Uniques for Mapping

• Haemophilia

• Honourhome

• Mark of Submission

Early Game Gearing

Your early game gearing is very simple, just obtain the previously mentioned unique, roll a quicksilver, granite, jade and silver flask with armor evasion, reduced effective curses, and attack or cast speed. Making sure to enchant them with use on full with 20 glassblower’s baubles and Instilling Orb s on the crafting bench when you have the chance. Your weapon will be the 3 fizz or spell skill daggers and on these, you'll craft physical damage overtime multiplier which you'll use until you can purchase 2 cold iron points. On your amulet, you'll want to pick up damage over time multiplier and anoint acrimony with two black oils and a clear oil for the extra dot multi. Every other gear slot will be life and resistances, making sure to obtain some small amount of chaos res where you can.

Mid Game Gearing

In the mid-game, you're going to start squeezing higher tier resistances out of all of your gear slots and trying to get your stat needs on your gear rather than from the passive tree. Make sure to obtain the gravitious unveil on your body armor and the reduced effect of shock craft on each ring to provide shock immunity. You'll roll your helmet implicit for physical taken as fire and vulnerability effect and your body armor for the malevolence or effect and generic aura effect. On your amulet, you'll have either dot multi or plus one physical skills and if you can squeeze a little bit of resistance or stats out of your amulet slot, making sure to obtain useful bases like a turquoise or onyx. In your belt, you'll want to pick up the physical variant of doryani's invitation or its physical leech modifier. Alongside its resistances and global physical damage, it makes for a great belt for early League CF champ. Most modifiers will specify phys physical attack damage, but this belt gives generic physical damage leeched as life. So we can leech off of our reap which is a physical spell. The largest upgrade in this gear set is the purchase of two large 8 passive physical clusters and some rare jewels to fill them out. You'll want to obtain these 2 large eight passive clusters with one or more notables. But on League start, you should settle for just one notable, rolling it yourself with Jagged fossils or purchasing it off of the site from another player. The increase in damage from other notables is just not worth it early on and you can much better spend that currency on other upgrades.

End Game Gearing

The end game of Corrupting Fever Champion takes its damage and mitigation up a few notches, and with the addition of corrupted cold iron points makes your weapon slots so dense with damage with each giving +3 levels and a 60% increased damage over time. You'll also be using a fourth file chest piece and obtaining the glorious vanity providing you with a large amount of elemental mitigation through Divine Flesh's 50% of elemental damage taken as chaos and Fourth Vow allowing armor to work against that chaos damage. On your glorious vanity, you'll also obtain a specific seed to change the stat nodes below templar into a physical leech node to replace your doryani belt with a rare one. 

This gear set also squeezes in a Herald of Purity by getting vulnerability on hit corrupted onto haemophilia getting a reservation enchant and implicit on our helmet and the mana mastery. This lets us squeeze in just a little bit more damage from our Herald of Purity. Further damage upgrades are getting denser and better rare jewel. A corruption on your Fourth Vow which would be a +2 duration or +1 socketed to give an extra level to your power or on the budget end a +2 AOE which only provides the levels to reap and not CF. Lastly, you can purchase awaken gems to socket into your combined reap and CF 6-link chest.
