Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
Insanely fast clearing build due to Raider ascendancy and high movement and attack speed. Low life also allows us to use several auras that are boosted using Prism Guardian for more damage and defense, finding good balance between both. Build is pretty pricey but Legacy league has been going for a while now and item prices have dropped considerably, although this is not a budget build.
Build Pros
- Fantastic clear speed and single target damage
- High Leech
- Can kill Guardians and Shaper
- Very fun to play using satisfying skill
Build Cons
- Expensive
- Energy shield can be a bit low when compared with CI builds that are meta right now

Tip: Click on the item to view it on PoE Wiki or to view similar rare items in poe.tradeHelmet
Crown of EyesBest helm for our build because it allows us to scale our attack damage through spell damage due to it’s unique affix.
Ideal enchantment for this helm would be additional barrage projectiles but that enchant is very expensive, you can also go for increased barrage attack speed.
Body Armour
Shavronne's WrappingsChest of choice for mostly any low life build. 5L can work but ideally we should be looking at 6-linked Shavs.
Gloves
ThunderfistGreat gloves because they give us free 5-link for Kinetic Blast, Attack speed and flat lightning damage.
Boots
Sorcerer BootsLook for boots with at least 170 Energy shield, 30% movement speed and some res if you can get it.
Extremely good enchant would be “Adds 1-160 Lightning damage if you haven’t killed recently” but that’s a luxury.
Left Ring
Opal RingRings are expensive for this build because Opal Ring base is expensive by itself, especially combined with good mods.
On rings look for:
Elemental damage with Weapons, Attack speed, Lightning damage to attacks. Any energy shield mod is great as well.
Amulet
Presence of ChayulaPerfect amulet for low life builds – gives us stun immunity and scales our Energy shield from our max life.
Belt
Crystal BeltLook for high flat Energy shield (at least 40) and resistances. If you have resistances covered, elemental damage with weapons is very good on belt.
1Hand Weapon
Prophecy WandLook for wand with at least 65% increased spell damage, at least 10% crit chance and at least 1.5 attacks per second attack speed. Lightning damage to attacks and Crit multiplier are nice bonuses.
Offhand
Prism GuardianThis shield allows us to boost our auras and reserve them using life instead of mana.
Jewel
Build JewelsOn jewels look for (in terms of priority):
1.) Attack speed with wands
2.) Global crit multiplier
3.) Spell damage while holding a shield
4.) Attack speed while holding a shield
5.) Increased spell damage
Flask
Flask Setup1.) Vessel of Vinktar (Adds lightning damage to attacks version)
2.) Basalt Flask with bleed removal
3.) Dying Sun
4.) Quicksilver flask of adrenaline
5.) Atziri’s Promise or Diamond Flask with freeze removal
How about Pierce? Is the Kinetic Blast clear speed great enough even without Pierce? And why do you not use a Silver Flask, as it grants Status Ailments Immunity due to Raider Ascendancy Avater of the Veil?
So this is the first time I’ve seen a build go for a Prophecy Wand instead of an Imbued Wand, is there a particular reason for this?
Was just listing gear I was using, base in this case doesn’t really matter that much.
Tree is broken
Would the tree be any different if I used skyforth’s?
I think it should’t change very significantly but you could probably save a few points and reallocate.
How would this compact to use a witch occultist in place of a ranger? I know it would be useable but from what I’m reading same to slightly higher aoe and defences but a little slower in terms of movement am I missing anything?
Haven’t really compared the two at all, so I won’t be able to give you informed answer..
Second question – Why do you need an Anti-Freeze flask when you have Avatar of the Veil?
You might as well run without it because the chance of getting frozen is extremely low, however I like to have one for emergencies when you are not phasing.
