Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
Great build to start in a fresh economy or explore SSF since every part of the gear can be crafted and we don’t rely on any specific uniques for the build to work. If you have never tried a poison-based bow build before, this build should carry you from leveling into the endgame with ease.
Build Pros
- Cheap to start with
- Can do pretty much every map mod
- SSF viable
- Tanky
- Fast clear speed
Build Cons
- Need to swap between CA/TR

Rare Hubris CircletYou can craft a Hubris Helmet by using Dense Fossil + Aberrant Fossil.
This will get a -9% chaos resistance mod to monsters nearby you and buffing your damage. I personally like the second option most, but it’s very RNG based and can take loads of attempts to get a High ES + -9% chaos res.
Body Armour
Rare Body ArmorEndgame gear is a Sadist Garb or Carnal Armour with Flat ES/Eva and % Es/Eva + Free Prefix for +10% life as Energy Shield.
You can craft it with Dense Fossil, Alterations or Chaos Spam.
Gloves
Shaper's TouchShaper’s Touch provides loads of Evasion and Energy Shield.
Rare version: Life, Resistance, Attack Speed, ES Based.
Boots
Atziri's StepAtziri’s Step is a decent starter boot, but you will need boots with resistance in lategame. If you have room for crafting, you can craft a hybrid ele/chaos res mod for more chaos resistance.
Left Ring
Rare RingRings: Life, Resistance, Hybrid Templemod (Mana + -6/8 manacost) or Crafted -9 Elreon Mod, Mana Regen, Energy Shield and crafted minimum frenzy charges or Chaos Resistance if you need it.
Right Ring
Rare Unset RingRings: Life, Resistance, Hybrid Templemod (Mana + -6/8 manacost) or Crafted -9 Elreon Mod, Mana Regen, Energy Shield and crafted minimum frenzy charges or Chaos Resistance if you need it.
Amulet
Rare Agate AmuletAmulet: iLvl 82 Hunter Based. +1 Dex/Chaos Gems, Life, Energy Shield, Chaos Dot Multi and Resistances are good mods.
Belt
Cyclopean CoilCyclopean Coil can provide Immunity to Shock and Ignite, which is one of our weakpoints due to low lifepool(about 5k).
It also provides 40% or more increased damage and decent amount of life.
Alternatively you can use a rare belt with life and resistance.
Quiver
Rare Penetrating Arrow QuiverLife, Attack Speed, Chaos dot multi, dot multi, Chaos resistance or Resistances.
Can be Crafted with Aberrant + Pristine fossils.
2Hand Weapon
Rare BowThere’s tons of options for bows and you can slowly upgrade.
The most important mods on a bow is +1 gems and +2 bow gems.
You can get a cheap 6link bow with Imperial Legacy cards.
You can use fossils to craft a bow: Corroded + Metallic + Jagged will lock out
all prefixes except +1 gem/+2 support and leave a spot open for +40% chaos dot multi.
Jewel
Unnatural Instinct or Intuitive LeapIntuitive Leap is used in the jewel slot next to Pain Attunement keystone to grab Overcharged, Dreamer and Melding notables.
Jewel

will this sort of thing be ok for heist as well, please? I just bought skill skins for caustic and toxic rain, so would be a shame to have to shelf them.
is this sort of build not gonna be good for heist, please? thanks.
Unless they introduce some huge nerf, it will work. Can’t say for certain yet, but most likely it will be alright.
