Thanks, i have same idea about using Chin Sol bow + Point Blank. Use Shrapnel Shot + Ballista Totem.

I post some question about Shrapnel shot 's lighting dam. It say lighting deal dam to enemy in front. If we attach with LMP/GMP, will it consider as shotgun effect?


4L (6L) -> Shrapnel shot + Physical Projectile Damage + Added Fire Damage + Increased AoE (+ Weapon Elemental Damage + Faster attacks?)

4L (6L) -> Siege Ballista + LMP + Faster Attacks + Physical projectile damage (+ Added fire damage + knockback?)


Have you consider about added chaos dam/poison on hit instead of WED/Added Fire Dam? Phys reflect it not big problem with high life + armour. But ele reflect is really big problem.

Those nodes are there because of Lioneye's Fall unique jewel. I modified tree a bit so that's why armour amount is a bit off. I'll fix that asap :)

Oh, that makes sense... except I don't think that jewel works with dual-wield nodes. According to this thread (albeit from closed beta):

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/37zges/cb_spoilers_does_the_unique_jewel_lioneyes_fall/crr413b

"Can confirm that dual wield nodes are NOT affected by Lioneye's Fall."

Edit: Yeah, looking at your tree, I think it would be better to use a standard dps/attack speed/life/resistance jewel instead, and use the two points to get another jewel socket. A three-mod jewel should be reasonably priced.

Edit 2: Another improvement, if you really need resists from your tree, then pick up Cloth and Chain instead of Sentinel. You'll gain 5% all res and 12% armour/evasion at the cost of 10 strength. I'd drop both, though... resists are easy to get from gear, or even jewels. Right now, I'm thinking of using this, but I want to find 3 more points to pare off, since I'm probably only going to get to level 90. I'm debating between Heavy Draw and Berserking as the marginal nodes to drop, but I haven't put it into a spreadsheet yet with assumed gear values.

Thanks for putting together this build, btw! I need to level a Duelist for 2.2 Ascendancy classes, and I wanted to do a Chin Sol shrapnel shot build this league.

Edit 3: How important do you think Unwavering Stance is, to this build? With knockback at close range and 202% life from tree and high armour, I'd think stuns wouldn't be a big problem... That's another option to shave 2 points off the build.

Edit 4: Here's the build I'm looking at, now. Using Lioneye's Fall to its fullest in Duelist, ditching the whole Ranger area of the tree, and losing a bit of life, but getting enough int for level 1 blasphemy, and a pile more damage, a bit more attack speed, but 20% reduced life. Not sure if it's worth it, though. Losing 2 damage/as/life jewels probably aren't worth losing all the ranger nodes.

Sure, I'll make a levelling tree and everything else when I get back from work! Cheers and GL!

PS: Make sure you kite hard situations with Siege Ballista!
