Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
If you wish to try out a non-standard bow build, you have come to the right place. With 3.7 league, Slayer was reworked and it allowed for some interesting builds to be made using Slayer ascendancy. Thanks to ”Overwhelm” which sets base critical strike chance for any weapon at 8 %, we can push slayers critical strike chance pretty high using any weapon.
Build Pros
- Easy to play
- Very strong damage for very low investment
- Damage scales insanely well
- Very fun build to breeze through content
- Well balanced damage and defense
Build Cons
- Elemental reflect maps are no-go

Belly of the BeastReally great chest to have. If you can spare gem sockets, you can look into Kaom’s Heart as well.
Boots
Atziri's StepStats:
——————————————
+ 80 to maximum life
+60% to total elemental resistances
+30 % Movement speed
Belt
Belt of the DeceiverVery useful belt. Offers both defense and offense. You take 30% reduced Extra Damage from Critical Strikes as well as intimidate nearby enemies making them take increased attack damage.
2Hand Weapon
Rare BowElemental Hit scales from gem levels, best weapon base for this build would be Thicket Bow as it has fast attack speed. We are looking for gem levels on the bow, +3 would be ultimate endgame goal.
Quiver
DrillneckVery strong quiver. If you wish, you can use well rolled rare quiver as well, but I highly recommend using Drillneck for extra pierce.
