PATCH 1.1.X : Look at raizQT build , it's just superior to mine in every way http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/883344



PATCH 1.0.6 : Gained 60% damage at gem level 22 on my poison arrow. Holy. Fuck.

Hello boys and girls ! Today I'm presenting to you my latest build which I like a lot. The purpose of it is to apply nasty degens to the ennemies to kill them quickly, while also being very tanky and all of that for very little currency investment and viable for high level maps !



So let's get started :



The passive tree

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIAm40ILu2DGY4AXtN-73p9de4O_rpW-iP2u-N0QfzF7_DEot1f3Q1noFpIlwa7TSzpW6-Hdi2DZ_wVIE4qGNtKfRmKKk2D2ymlrUp08Zu1-wk_J_xLUq8hYIUywzr22krIznHNJkCgykpWLYngGo9uqmwWBS2euW-erH_mWLXyYEuDCZMfNZJ670ZxSRP-j6xZdO20DOGITeOI8ZMnHaqmV-djHNzcVzrhMZ7-Cn_G8XYelPJFwcURlqw_7BiIQnC7p1y00YIe2RNJUSQ8doLbCy9vWm3IDA==



Progression : Rush to corruption first , then to growth and decay , then Iron reflexes , then go up from ranger and grab Charisma , mana geyser and Method to the madness and finally go up to grab Entropy , the rest of the auras nodes , and Eldritch battery all of that while grabbing life nodes on the way.





How to level as this spec

Follow the progression listed in the passive tree section, grab a +1 bow or better yet a Silverbranch unique bow and level with poison arrow and fire trap. It won't be amazing to begin with but as you start to get those DoT nodes it will get better and better. Then just throw traps and poison arrow to the mobs , and viper strike the rares/bosses. Doesn't get any easier than that.





The links needed

Poison arrow 4L : Poison arrow + Empower + Concentrated Effect + Slower projectiles

5L : add Culling strike

6L : add faster projectiles



Fire trap 4L : Fire trap + Elemental proliferation + Chance to Ignite + Burning damage

5L : Add fire penetration (quality if possible)

6L : Add level 2+ Empower



Auras : Reduced mana + Discipline + Grace + Clarity



Viper strike swap : Viper strike + Increased duration + Empower





The gear needed

+3 bow , +3 melee weapon for viper strike, ev/es gear, jewelry with mana/manaregen. That's it



Here's what a +3 bow is (no need for 5L ) :



If a +3 bow is not available/cost too much , get a +1/+1 so you can still get +3 to the gem with empower, will be a bit slower but it will still be pretty good. Same for the viper strike swap , +1/+1 is fine.



The rest of my gear for reference : Spoiler

How to run Arctic armour

First you need Eldritch battery, won't be able to run this while leveling. Then check your mana regen after all auras , check the total cost of AA here :

First you need Eldritch battery, won't be able to run this while leveling. Then check your mana regen after all auras , check the total cost of AA here : http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Arctic_Armour (you need to add both values, mana drain and additional mana drain to get the total mana degen per second) and level one to the level where you can run it comfortably (give it a little leeway , if you get next to no regen you'll be out of mana all the time because of poison arrow/fire trap cost and mind over matter)



Bandits rewards

Normal : Help Oak

Cruel and Merciless : Kill all





Map playstyle

Curse vulnerability , fire poison arrow , throw a fire trap : Watch as everything dies before your very eyes. Viper strike/Vulnerability bosses and rares aswell.





And there we go , I think that wraps it up for this build :) Any question/ thing I missed ? Don't hesitate to ask me here or on my stream :
