Can you explain the frost wall trick and how to do it effectively against tanky rare mobs and bosses?

It works like this, as far as i understood it all the time:

- Place frostwall near/in front/behind/on the target, spam lightning arrow.

- one of the 5 (gmp) arrows hit the boss, dealing the normal damage

- all 5 projectiles hit the wall and pierce it. The extra chains after hitting a wall trigger and hit the target if its nearby (18 units, see here http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Range#/media/File%3ARange_visualized.jpeg). The area is affected by increased area effect (nodes, gem etc)

- if there is another wall it repeats since we have 100% pierce.

This results in insane singletarget damage without using a extra 5link/6link singletarget skill.
In addition the frostwalls offer safety against melees (see my atziri video against the trio) and ranged projectiles.


Edit: how to do it effectively check my atziri video, thats probably the optimal case of frostwalling.

I will use a tabula and link LA-GMP-inc.crit-pierce until I'm high enough level to use lioneye's vision, will that be enough to use LA with frost wall? Also, is there any changes in graphical animation when shooting through the wall?

sure its enough.
You should see the projectiles chaining, but its hard to see on LA

Again, thank for awesome build.

I underestimate the LA Frost wall. This is a bro --- bless!
I'm try Mana Flow under Duelist+1 cruel skill point like many Bow build. Not sure this extra skill point worth it or not (I got 1 cruel point again...)
Its had to get something as valueable for 1skillpoint as 8%atk speed, but its not bad to get the SP either.

manaflows is good for leveling and int requirements for sure, later its not necassary, only useful for - recovery maps in singletarget situations (where i use a hybrid life/manaflask).

Frostwall + pierce Lightning Arrow or Kinetic Blast is just utterly broken :P

Currently i think about trying herald of ash (+aoe+burning dmg/less duration/prolif) instead of grace for more aoe in midtier maps... but grace is just so great :/
unlinked ash + arctic armour is possible too since the overkill damage is so huge.

Some more testing is requires ;)

I'm not sure will Ash work with shatter enemy. But sound nice for clear some leftover mob / 3-5 mobs pack :>
Is ash would work like Elemental Proliferation it wouldnt work.
Its more working like Infernal Blow, you kill, enemy explodes for dmg depending on the targets life. Doesnt matter if the mobs shatters.

Ash just takes the overkill damage instead of targets life.

If we link Prolif to Ash and shatter an enemy affected by the Ash ignite, the enemy wont prolif anymore ;)


I leveled with ash and i am pretty damn sure it worked like i said it, but will test it later/tomorrow again to be 100% sure

Ash works like a charm, but the loss of Grace hurts me :( still as durable as a regular ranger which uses hatred + hoi or ash, but a more defensive chest as lioneyes vision would be better

I wanted to do a Inquisitor Doomfletch Prism build as soon as I saw the item, so nice to see others are doing it also.


Alas... exams are keeping me from playing at all at the moment so RIP having fun ._. (was trying to link it before exams started)

One thing I had in mind was trying it out with Kintsugi + Abyssus with Grace and Acrobatics and Vaal Pact (Or maybe Lightning Coil instead of Kintsugi).
Running Enfeeble+Blasphemy to further reduce chances of getting hit / 1 shot.
Did you perhaps try out these in your setup?

Also whats your take on Rare Quiver + Chain vs Pierce (mostly with Split Arrow/Tornado Shot in mind since i would probably go for one of those)? If we disregard frost wall pierce that is :\

A good phys quiver with crit multi should beat the drillneck in terms of raw dps, at least from my perspective.

Just some food for thought, I would test it out myself if i had the time atm.
