Path Of Exile 3.26 Wave Of Conviction Of Trarthus: How To Craft Builds For This New Skill?

Posted: Jul 28, 2025 Views: 179

As you know, crafting builds in Path of Exile series is usually centered around a class/Ascendancy class, or a single skill, because skills in the series are obtained by equipping skill gems, not determined by the selected class.

Therefore, in order to make the game more content-rich, POE will occasionally add new skill gems when releasing new leagues or patches. In POE 3.26, Wave of Conviction of Trarthus was added.

This skill is actually Trarthus gem version of the old skill Wave of Conviction - this is also a special mechanism introduced by 3.26 Mercenaries of Trarthus league.

This time we will introduce you to the mechanism and Wave of Conviction of Trarthus skill, and bring you a guide to craft related builds.

Path Of Exile 3.26 Wave Of Conviction Of Trarthus: How To Craft Builds For This New Skill?

What Are Trarthus Gems?

Trarthus gems are actually replacement versions of existing skill gems, which are expressed as adding the suffix “of Trarthus” to the original skill name to change its function and balance.

In terms of overall skill effect, Trarthus skills are basically the same as default skills, but they will change the characteristics of the skills from other angles, and even change their gem tags and mechanics, which is similar to transfigured gems.

To obtain Trarthus gems, you need to duel with mercenaries in 3.26 league. After winning, in addition to the regular POE currency, you will also receive a random Trarthus gem. There are currently 12 Trarthus gems in the game:

  • Sunder of Trarthus
  • Chain Hook of Trarthus
  • Heavy Strike of Trarthus
  • Bladefall of Trarthus
  • Blast Rain of Trarthus
  • Dark Pact of Trarthus
  • Spectral Throw of Trarthus
  • Spectral Shield Throw of Trarthus
  • Storm Call of Trarthus
  • Spectral Helix of Trarthus
  • Siege Ballista of Trarthus
  • Wave of Conviction of Trarthus

What Is Wave Of Conviction Of Trarthus?

This skill is actually a physical/fire spell. It creates a ring of energy that can damage enemies twice as it spreads out from you for a while and then returns. Only one ring can be active at a time through this skill.

Unlike the original Wave of Conviction, Trarthan version has lower base damage, damage effect, and duration, but it does not cause exposure and converts 50% of physical damage to fire damage instead of directly outputting 25% fire damage and 25% lightning damage.

How To Craft Related Builds?

For Wave of Conviction of Trarthus, the key to its exclusive builds is to invest in scorch, exposure, penetration, and curse effects as much as possible to reduce enemy resistance.

Based on this, you can defeat and hire a mercenary equipped with Doryani’s Prototype and The Admiral Varnished Coat, or Fallen Reverend mercenary is also a good choice, because he can give you a free aura and cover enemies with ash.

In terms of class selection, it is recommended that you match Witch’s Ascendancy class Elementalist for the entire build, because this class can give you powerful damage, defense, and recovery capabilities at the same time through the reinforced puppet army.

Unlike the original version, since Wave of Conviction of Trarthus converts 50% of the damage to fire damage, you should utilize the appropriate items and passive skills to convert it to 100%, and trigger a linked spell every 0.3 seconds during the channeling skill.

This way, by reducing the duration of your energy wave, not only can your damage effectively kill the enemy, but it will also bring you a large amount of extra health and energy shield.

It should be noted that although this build has good damage effects against single and group enemies, it is not recommended to use it in the early stages of the league because it requires you to unlock the appropriate mercenaries and utilize skills proficiently.

What Items Are Suitable For This Build?

Compared with general POE 3.26 builds, the build dominated by Wave of Conviction of Trarthus does not require much in terms of gear, jewels, or flasks, and only a part of the primary gear can improve the overall effect.

For example, the already mentioned Doryani’s Prototype and The Admiral Varnished Coat can counteract the enemy’s elemental resistance, and Replica Dragonfang’s Flight amulet and The Light of Meaning jewel can greatly increase the damage you deal.

In addition, when you choose a defensive gem in Sciona area, The Light of Meaning jewel increases the fire damage by more than 200%, making the fire damage output of Wave of Conviction of Trarthus more effective after conversion.

Another good jewel is Watcher’s Eye, which is actually a common supplementary jewel for most builds using multiple auras. For the builds introduced in this article, Zealatry, Grace, and Clarity aura modifiers can increase your damage and defense.

In addition, since you chose Ascendancy class Elementalist, it is recommended that you activate its passive skill Bringer of Ruin, which can enhance the effect of Herald buffs you receive and increase the mana reservation efficiency of Herald skills.

The above is Wave of Conviction of Trarthus skills introduced to you this time, as well as its main build crafting core ideas and recommended items. If you think this plan is good, please try crafting in 3.26 league!
