Build Overview

In this build we use the most efficient way to scale damage , speed, and survivability on the build. Giving it insane damage, tankiness and speed. This is an endgame build that can be made with about 60 divines currently but prices may vary in the future depending on the popularity.


If you don't want to use queen of the forest or Olroths flask you can cut the cost down by about 45 divines. This build will be become very basic maintaining its high damage potential but losing its extreme survivability and speed. If you do not have Olroths you want to remove all the life flask nodes on the tree and spec into Lucidity and the Inner faith wheel. Remove alchemist boon from your skills and use Grim Harvest, Wind Dancer, Ghost Dance. I put some leveling tips under the skill tree section.

As an update to the build following the latest patch. Damage with bow skills will no longer function. I am leaving you this trade link to show you what kind of quivers you should be buying. You can lower the count for budget builds and also lower the stat requirements.

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/Jr707b5sl

updated trade link : had the wrong attack speed

For most budget players, losing one mod can be replaced with another. High end builds will lose around 30% damage when rescaled but budget builds should be about the same.

You want to get a 270+ widowhail quiver preferably with at least 1 socket. You get 80% quiver effect from tree and you want multiples of 50 when scaling gem levels off your quiver. You want to socket 15 spirit so you can use herbalism with 3 auras.

I've outlined the best possible mods for each item , keep in mind you do not need all these mods to be successful in the game. Cap your resistance and getting a good quiver is top priority.

Amulet: When you get to maps you dont have to focus on getting damage on you amulet instead get stats such as dex int or resistances. You can get damage stats later when you are around level 90. When you get your endgame amulet get barbaric strength as an anoint.

Helm : just get huge Energy shield(Subterfuge Mark node on your tree) and resistance

Quiver: Must have +2 projectile skills

Very good: crit chance (can get it as an implicit), Crit damage bonus, attack speed

useful but not necessary: accuracy, projectile speed.

Belt: Get implicit gain .17 charges or reduced flask charges used

Rest of the gear is just resistance , life , evasion.

Boots : Corpsewade you are gonna have to buy multiple pairs as you level because the skill has a level requirements. I suggest you buy a low level one while you level and buy a level 18 decompose at 78.

Jewels: Critical damage, increased bonus from equipped quiver, projectile damage, flask charges gained, life flask charges gained, Increased life recovery from flask, attack speed , evasion rating.

DO NOT GET REGENERATE LIFE ON YOUR GEAR.

Updated for the latest patch. If you get attack speed on quiver you can remove some of the attack speed nodes , same with increased damage.

If you are doing bosses and you need more damage, switch to a 4 poison setup by taking stacking toxins and lasting toxins. Remove falcon technique.


For leveling start projectile damage into honed instincts, eagle eye, blur then the 2 small movement nods. The master fletching, escape velocity, maiming strikes(movement speed side) and Acceleration. Then go up to Bestial skin to dark Entries and Pure chaos. Once you have enough points for pure chaos usually at level 52 - 55 you can unspec maiming strikes and Accleration. Start Lightning Arrow , Lightning rod. Get a widowhail and socket some flat lightning runes. Pick up a low level quiver with some flat damage on it and maybe rings or gloves with flat damage. This will get you smoothly to level 2x where you will do trial so you can switch to poisonous concotion. Make sure when you switch to poisonous concoction get a unique ring called Glowswarm and get gain 0.1x charges per second on your mana flask so you have sustain. Optionally you can path to arcane alchemy also on your tree. Also get a +1 projectile skills quiver and some increased damage to bow skills. Rest of the leveling gear is just optional get some decent movement speed on boots and get some resistance and life. In act 3 you want to take stun threshold vial and in cruel you take chaos resist

How it Plays

For bosses: Cast despair, cast eye of winter, Throw poisonous concoction x 8. Repeat.

How it Works

DAMAGE

We use quiver effect(450-500%) to get 9 gem levels. Amulet will give you 3 levels , tree 1 and gems 1. This will scale the flat and damage multiplier for attacks to a very high amount.

Next we use wither and wither effect on eye of winter to give you 70% more chaos damage.

Our quiver will also supply a huge amount of crit chance with the base debuff from eye of winter and crit nodes on our tree we will generate anywhere between 40-50% crit chance and 400% crit damage.

This crit will multiply our poison damage by 4 making our 2 poisons do the same damage as 8 poisons from normal poisonous concoction builds. The crit will also boost our hit damage.

Our attack speed and increased damage is also heavily scaled by our quiver.


Speed:

Our speed is scaled by queen of the forest body amour and evasion on our gear on the tree. I currently have 80+ Movement speed at level 90. Remember flat evasion on gear is very important if you want to go fast.


Clear:

Our clear comes from heard of plague and the pathfinder ascendency which proliferates our highest poison to the nearest target within range. We also you decompose on corpse wade unique boots to blow up nearby corpses to kill stragglers.

Survivability:

This is hybrid Life Energy shield build. It has around 2k life and 1k which you might think isn't a lot so how does this build not die. It uses a unique flask called Olroth's which makes the heal on the flask instant and all excess healing is generated as "guard". Guard basically puts a shield on your character and absorbs all hit damage until it is depleted. Currently my guard is 4400 at level 90 which means my character has around 7400 hp at all times. I can use my flask 6 times in a row giving me some 26000+ guard on demand. Normally this flask is held back because you cannot use it at full life but I made a neat trick that bypasses this. The lifetap you see on your despair will take your life to a decimal point so when you use the flask it will never actually fully heal you unless you have regen on you gear. With this you can cast your curse at the start of every map and use the flask whenever you want making you basically unkillable as long as you execute gameplay correctly. My character is currently 92 with all Pinnacles level 2 down with 0 deaths.
