Melee build with some magic in it

[The Queen Of UwU]

So i assume the first thing youll ask is to look on the forum, which i have but there are so many builds there lol.

Id like the build to have
*decent dmg as well being somewhat tanky(to not die in one hit on higher maps)
*some magic
*melee

xD Any recommendations?

Melee builds will sometimes use Spells to proc certain curses or effects. My build is a Frost Blades 100% cold damage Melee build, but I use Orb of Storms (spell) to curse enemies.

By definition, everyone is a "mage". To be precise, Everyone is a geomancer (it's what they call people using the magic gems to empower their weapon and armor in the game).

Now, if you are talking about elemental attacks, they already exist. Like static strike, ice shot, wildstrike, infernal blow, molten strike etc.

If you want to use spells in conjunction with attacks, you best bet is a cast ton crit build, where you use attack skills that cast spells when you crit. Usually you use a pure crit build for those.

Guessing you had this in mind?

You could try making a Blade Flurry supported by Cast while Channelling + spell gem. (Cast the linked spell every 0.35 seconds). You would only focus on getting +spell damage and the helmet would transfer that damage to Blade Flurry (Attack)

EDIT:
Emberwake + The Taming rings (+3000% increased dmg if you can get 300 ignites)
Blade Flurry + CwC + Bladefall? + Concentrated Effect + Chance to Ignite + Added Fire
Witch - Elementalist for Beacon of Ruin (Spread ignites to other enemies)
Focus passive tree on defense and ignite chance. ES%, CI, ignite%, Vaal Pact, jewels.

This coming off the top of my head. No idea how well it would actually work. But thats my take on a attack+spell build.
Damage probably on the lower end without any MORE multiplier%s and ignites will probably never reach 300 stacks.

Just go AW Berserker and add a bunch of MF onto your gear with IIQ + IIR gems. Worked for me for MFing in the start of this league.

Think he wants a build that deals damage with both attacks and spells.
Also, I think Chieftain bonuses outweigh the small damage bonus from Berserker for Ancestral Warchief.

False.
Chieftain does not have enough dps to take down major bosses unless you have best in slot gear. Then maybe with insane gear I would consider chieftain over berserker for aw totems right now.

Yeah, because 550k+ non combat dps isn't enough to melt any boss in game...
Once you start killing everything in sight with 1 hit, you stop thinking about how to improve DPS and start looking at survival. Thats where Chieftan shines and Berserker fails.
I tested both classes with Facebreakers, Disfavour Bleed/poison and Rare 2h Axe. I prefer Chieftan. (SS in my library)



Sorry OP for the off topic. Hope you find a build you like.

550k lol.
A properly geared facebreaker zerker has 2million dps.

Could you link a guide or something? i dont understand the short names you use for stuff.

You completely missed my point... But you probably don't speak fluent english, so whatever.
And thats 550k x3 (3 totems = 1,650,000dps) While in hideout. Chieftan gains +20% phys as fire on kill + other buffs. Also, my gear is far from perfect and i will never have it be perfect because ancestral warchief is a ridiculously slow clearing build and a waste of time to play.

Have no guides, sorry. Everything I mentioned was just off the top of my head. I never really seen anyone make a build using attacks and spells that both deal damage.
Some builds use attacks to proc spells like "Cast on Critical Strike" or Cast While Channeling" both require a attack to cast a spell. But these builds deal almost no damage with the attacks.

Some items to look at that could be useful for attack+spell hybrid are:
Crown of Eyes - Increased spell damage % will also be added to attacks
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Crown_of_Eyes

Kitava's Thirst - 30% chance to Cast Socketed Spells when
you Spend at least 100 Mana to Use a Skill
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Kitava%27s_Thirst

Mjölner - Cast a Socketed Lightning Spell on Attack
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Mj%C3%B6lner

Cospri's Malice - Cast a Socketed Cold Spell on Melee Critical Strike
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Cospri%27s_Malice

and The Taming Ring combined with Emberwake Ring.
Taming = +10% increased Damage per Freeze, Shock and Ignite on Enemy
Emberwake = You can inflict up to 300 Ignites on an Enemy
Both together will give your attacks and spells +3000% damage if you can find a way to quickly get 300 stacks of ignites on enemies.

If you're using auras to boost your damage, you're already using spells.
