[2.6] Norse's Pathfinder Nova EK Build

Under Construction

Gear

Weapon:


Our best inslot weapon is a rare with High attackspeed, Spell crit chance and spell damage, having Crit multi and flat damage to spells is a huge bonus.

Brightbeak works if you have enough damage without a rare, it increases the shieldcharge speed by a ton and can make mapping feel very smooth.

Helmet:



A rare helmet with a lot of ES and some res with the EK Enchant would be our best inslot.

Chest:



A rare chest with as much ES as you can afford preferably with some Res or Int.

Gloves:



A pair of gloves crafted with an Insanity Essence, Preferably with ES and Resistance.

Boots:



A pair of Voidwalkers with attack and cast speed enchant for the 100% pierce on kill.

Amulet:



Victario's Acuity Amulet gives us powercharges and frenzy charges while mapping and gives us proj speed and damage.

Rings:



Our 1st ring would be a valyrium for antistun



Our second ring would be a high res ring to fill our resistances, Preferably with flat ES and percent ES Crafted.

Belts:



A belt with Strength because our build requires a bit of strength, rest with ES and Resistance. Best in slot would be a crystal belt with strength/res/es and crafted Movespeed

I fully recommend this variation of EK build made by one of the smartest and most entertaining streamers that PoE has.

One of the best map clearers with relartively low budget. I think I closed my gear in 3 ex, with 30% proj speed Hubris being most expensive item (1.5ex).

My gear below
Spoiler


8.5k ES, 40.5k EK dmg in town. Mana potion I am using let me spam EK almost infinitely. Taste Of Hate would be better if more toughness/dmg is needed. Warlord's Mark on CWDT setup let me heal myself when I am out of Vinktar's. Power Charge on hit with Orb of Storms for boss fights to keep blue charges up (dmg suck without them).

My only concern is single target dmg that's why I am thinking of getting Master Herbalist passive as my endgame ascendancy, which allows topoison (we have lot of phys and chaos dmg). I know this build is designed to speedfarming easy content but map clearing is also very good on t15 maps I tested.

Any idea of increasing single target dps? Is posion worth to have?

The passives link is broken ;_;
I can't decide my 6th link between:
- Empower 3
- Faster casting
- Added crit dmg

Any idea to fix the mana problem? Im running now Curse on hit-herald of ice-ice bite-warlords mark to leech.. but isn't the solution.

Insanely lucky to find that gear that cheap the loyal alone is 2-3 ex and the head is about 3-5 ex depending on the rolls the rest is super cheap though.

On a side note I would suggest dropping the Nature's Adrenaline and grabbing the Master Herbalist like you suggest since its good for the extra poison dip and a nice chaos resist boost.

Current gear farming strands no problem with a friend who has them fully buffed with rippy mods. Using the mana flask only sometimes as it feels I need it but if not I'm using a Silver Flask. Currently only level 74 and I have 0 gems yet fully buffed dps is about 89k. *boots are empty cause I didn't color them yet for CWDT set up.

Yea I started the build before Mathil hyped it so it was way cheaper. Skin of the loyal can be bought for 1ex I think and other color setup can work too.

I am using Master Herbalist for poison and thats enough for t15. Build like this would rather never be good vs t16, shaper, uber or even normal atziri.
