You can find a more detailed breakdown, as well as a leveling-tree example and an in-depth Path of Building link in the page linked below, along with all the Gem Links in the build. We focus on picking up all the efficient Claw and Crit nodes along the way, as well as a ton of health, some defensive clusters, as well as all the relevant Keystones (Point Blank). This is what Lightning Strike excels at, thanks to its high range. The best Defensive in the game is to simply not be near the damage sources. Outside of those specific situations, you will want to mostly keep your distance from enemies, as Lightning Strike is the ONLY true-range melee ability in the game, providing you with unparalleled safety and ranged capabilities, compared to every other melee ability.

It is better to use more Whirling Blades on enemies rather than too little, as it is IMPERATIVE to have the Fortify buff up AT ALL TIMES. A: obtain or refresh your Fortify Support, every 8~ seconds, roughly and.Additionally, our CWDT setup coupled with the ol’ reliable Immortal Call will keep us fairly healthy throughout the general mapping period.įor playstyle, you will first want to Whirling Blades into a pack of enemies, to: We will also be making use of a couple of defensive flasks like a Quartz Flask, in order to further emphasize the Evasion playstyle. For Bosses, you will want to drop down your saved up Vaal Ancestral Warchief and Vaal Lightning Strike charges, while also dropping the newly added Tornado skill for extra damage.ĭefensively, you will have to keep up your Fortify Support using your Whirling Blades in order to permanently reduce incoming damage by a considerable amount. Try to keep up your Blood Rage permanently for the increased Lifesteal and overall attack speed steroid it provides.Īdditionally, you will be able to place down an Ancestral Protector in order to vastly improve your attack speed against tough monsters or bosses, as it applies its attack speed increase to any friendly targets nearby. Offensively, you will want to keep your distance from enemies, as you do have some range on the abilities and standing near enemies in Path of Exile is oftentimes a fairly bad idea. Mobility wise, you will want to use Whirling Blades and potentially (based on personal preference) Flame Dash to get around the maps the second ability allow you to cross chasms and other environmental objects, allowing for a very fast traversal.

Other mods that should be avoided but CAN be finished (with some hardships): Cannot Leech, No Regeneration.
#POINT BLANK MODS FULL#
– Mediocre Bossing damage before you get the full setup Map Modifiers to be Avoided – Expensive to max out entirely, due to specific items being needed – Potentially awkward scaling, due to multi-elemental focus + Decent defensives with Evasion-focused Raider, 100% Spell Suppression and Crit Immunity Cons + Absolutely ridiculous clear speed and fun mapping + Amazing scalability due to being a league starter

+ Easy to follow along with a high ceiling Our offense will be carried by the new Tornado skill, coupled with Vaal Lightning Strike and Vaal Ancestral Warchief + Ancestral Protector for bossing, to defeat bosses in a matter of seconds. Our defenses will be a combination of the Wind Dancer keystone (potentially will be removed, requires testing), high-evasion, 100% Spell Suppression, Crit Immunity and lightning fast recovery thanks to the Claws’ implicit modifiers. For the gear pieces, we are looking for Evasion bases with as much Life as possible. We will be making use of Lightning Strike. The build does not require any build-enabling items, as I am setting it up as a league starter. The ultra-endgame options like Crystallised Omniscience and similar, will not be listed in this guide for the sake of brevity and keeping it concise. I play exclusively solo, with no group play to speak off. If you follow along with this guide, it should be fairly easy to roughly mirror my setups, as I will be league-starting this particular build as well, making every item I list in this build a “realistic” option to acquire for you during a league start as well.

With the 3.13 buffs, it is even more desirable, both as a singular Ascendancy, as well as an Ascendant option.įor this particular character we choose to wield a Claw and a Shield, to get a great amount of utility and defensive capabilities. The Raider Ascendancy from the Ranger class is one of the best choices when you decide to build any Elemental-damage oriented attack build.
