Tip: Click on the item to view it on PoE Wiki or to view similar rare items in poe.tradeHelmet
Starkonja's HeadUse any rare evasion based helmet till you can find/buy Starkonja’s Head. Perfect helmet for this build, high life, high evasion, attack speed and global critical strike chance.
Body Armour
Belly of the BeastEvasion based rare chest with elemental resistances and life will do just fine till you can afford Belly of the Beast, it is mandatory for build to survive hits that doesn’t get evaded/dodged.
Gloves
Gripped GlovesThese gloves comes with Projectile Attack Damage implicit mod which increases our damage and grants some flexibility with mods on gloves. Look for life, attack speed and elemental resistances or flat physical damage.
Boots
Atziri's StepDecent life, good movement speed, spell dodge and high evasion. Can’t go wrong, compliments every stat build needs and are very cheap.
Left Ring
Steel RingLife, elemental resistances, flat phyiscal damage, stats or weapon elemental damage.
Amulet
Lapis AmuletLife, elemental resistances, flat physical damage, weapon elemental damage, increased critical strike chance or multiplier are stats you would be looking for on amulet. Getting all or almost all of these on amulet would cost you fortune. Pick 2 or 3 you need the most.
2Hand Weapon
Doomfletch's PrismMandatory item, hence the name of the build. Thing is, it is not cheap, you can definitely use regular Doomfletch but you will need to upgrade it later to Doomfletch’s Prism. You can do it by buying it or getting Ancient Doom prophecy.
Quiver
DrillneckDrillneck is great and cheap quiver, however, any good rolled rare quiver with attack speed, weapon elemental damage and increased critical strike chance would be better.
Jewel
Viridian Jewel- Increased maximum life
- Increased physical damage with bows
- Increased projectile damage
- Attack speed
Flask
Flask Setup- Seething Divine Life Flask of Heat
- Taste of Hate
- The Wise Oak
- Chemist’s Diamond Flask of Staunching
- Chemist’s Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline
How is it possible to see the entire skillthree for this build?
Thank you. Passive skill trees were made with poeplanner.com prior to 3.0 launch, sadly it stopped working on launch day. Passives are up to date now, sorry for the inconvenience.
Hey, as far as i can tell (+%increased elemental damage with weapons) isn’t a thing for belts anymore.
at least not in Harbinger
It’s still a thing, only it’s called differently now – % increased elemental damage with attack skills.
Been following this build, im lvl 70 with it and im wondering how in the heck do you get enough int to support the blue critical strikes supp gem since your build has pretty much none and gear has 0?? Also its becoming super tough cuz Belly is going over 110c now its retarded (from 70 3 days ago as of the day of this comment) with no armor you pretty much have to play “pussy mode” at max range. So basically, any tips/advice?
also: How do you run haste+grace+hatred+herald with your build thats way over 100% reserved mana and you dont have EB or reduced reserved mana nodes or the gem or whatever?
I have the same question about mana hatred and herald is 75% of the mana reserved. Is 25% really enough with the 60% regin on the bow?
yes its enough cuz of assasins mark mana gained per kill
Best way to support gem attribute requirements is to get Str/Dex/Int on your rings, amulet and jewels. You could try to buy high armour chest with at least 100 life (they’re pretty cheap – have a look http://poe.trade/search/aherinomayotos )
end game viable?
Definitely
Why dont you take Heave Draw?
Skill tree is high level, 8 more points to place wherever you need/want. If you feel like you need more damage, you can grab Heavy Draw as well. I personally would go for more survivability.
I got another problem: With elemental focus on TS you can never freeze an enemy, therefor you can never shatter an enemy, therefor the herald of ice never triggers so assassins mark never triggers. I havent figured out a way to fix this without swapping out ele focus.
I was wondering the same thing too, how could the assassins mark trigger when the elemental is there :X
So then do you have to go with the penetration?
Im rolling a 5l with tornado shot and a 6l with barrage cuz this particular version of the build has no single target whatsoever and sucks vs bosses. But if i 6 link id do either pierce, chance to bleed or chain.
Im using a tabula rosa till i can afford a belly.
So instead of Vaal burning your using Barrage?
What is you barrage 6l gem set up?
ele dmg with attacks, ele focus, chance to bleed, phys proj, slower proj, barrage. Did testing on PoB and this one offered the most dps by far with my particualr build (though im running flaskfinder now with completely balanced oak + atziris promise + diamond flask, dont have the expensive flasks yet.) Just got a kaoms so i got 6.1k hp and things are going well so far.
Hey, just wanted to know if the build works as well with split arrow or lightning arrow instead of tornado shot. thanks (y)
Yes, it works 🙂
Hello, im level 85 trying this build. Got everything you ask for in the build, and the skill tree is like you have but i have a question. Why do i only have 4200 dmg without any frenzy charges when my friends have like 25000? Is there a reason for that? Only got 5k DPS damage on my tornado shot aswell… Best regards
Hey! Could you post a link to your character so I could take a look?
