[3.20] Top 12 Most OP Builds in Path of Exile History (Old Version)

I was recently thinking about the direction of power creep in Path of Exile and was wondering if GGG is actually slowing down the game as some people claim. This lead me to think about all historically OP builds and rate them on how strong they were before nerfs. It seems like many of these builds are actually recent creations thus, I have come to the conclusion that POE is actually not being slowed down. Many people remember the days of running strand in less than a minute with various Headhunter builds, but looking back, these maps had very little mob density compared to now, the maps had easy modifiers (no delirium and other league mechanics), and if the builds didn't have HH buffs, they were very squishy and couldn't kill endgame bosses reliably.
