" Mathil wrote: Videos can be found at the bottom of the post I came up with this spec at the start of Domination league because I saw how ridiculously powerful the elemental auras now were and could be with the right spec. This spec abuses wrath, anger and haste through spectral throw and buffing your auras drastically. Your end total should be something like 70% more effectiveness of auras which is the bulk of your damage and defense through purity of lightning/fire. I am also purely evasion based. This is because I find with very few points invested into defense in your passive tree, evasion far outweighs the effectiveness of armor. I believe armor to be stronger when it is very high but to achieve that with my spec you'd sacrifice alot of dps and utility. For me, this was the ultimate solo spec. I did every boss in every map and managed to outplay them all. However this spec is just as powerful in groups as you will literally double the damage of any other non spell users. People will get addicted to having you in group and you'll quickly be a permanent member of any group you want to be. This is not however a "aura bitch" spec as I wanted to be able to do my own dps and carry my weight. Lastly I will say this is not a braindead aegis aurora/immunity spec. You will still have to not be shit at the game to do the hardest of the hard stuff. To me part of playing Dom/standard is testing and knowing the limits of your character so trial and error by attacking every type of boss with every type of mod was necessary, to know what you can and can't do or how hard certain abilities hit, etc. I'd never shy away from a challenge even if it seemed like there was little chance of winning. I've solo'd every boss from double Dominus in Palace to temp chain double Courtyard bosses to GMP pieties and -max fire furies. With this spec, being a ranged and your own skill nothing should stop you from doing the same. My gear on Domination (scion lvl 96): Spoiler My gear on Ambush (shadow lvl 93): Spoiler About gearing for this spec - it is really quite cheap. The essentials you need to be effective are an Alpha's Howl, atleast a 5L and a fast 1h wep preferably with good ele damage (2.0 aps or higher). You then try to get life and weapon ele damage on rings, amulet and belt. Get attack speed on gloves and whatever you want on boots. If you don't like running then by all means just leap around because it's very fast with this spec. A 6L unlocks faster attacks which raises your dps by about 30%. I used a 5L up until about lvl 93 and you can still do everything in the game, you'll just be a little slower than me. I found crafting a ele weapon was rather easy by alt/regaling and getting atleast good attack speed and 2 elemental damages. I got lucky by eternal/exatling the last few stats. Open these images in a new tab to see them fully My dps stats: (pre 1.1.0) Spoiler My defensive stats: (pre 1.1.0) Spoiler Choosing the class for you: Currently there are 3 options to choose from when starting the build. Scion, Shadow and Ranger. All 3 are really close together in terms of what you'll be getting with minor differences. Shadow is probably the one which gives the slightest edge but if you're going to be avoiding Resolute Techniques then Ranger is better. I also believe Ranger and Scion are more versatile if you want to change the spec up a bit. By going Scion you get 13% attack speed and 1 extra passive. By going Shadow you get 6% attack speed, 3% movement and 24% projectile damage. By going Ranger you get 8% attack speed, 20% accuracy and 24% projectile damage. The specs: Scion start Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgABA5YEswx9DkgQfxGWFE0XLxmFGYoaOBpsGo8c3B0UHaoj9iQ8JKoksCaVJ6ko-ipbLYMvbzKJNuk7KDyORnFJUUp9UzVVS1XGVdZW-lfJV-JZ81pIWm1gQ2KsZOdmnmegbWxte249b55wu3Kpd-V82X11f8aApIMJhtGHdo9GkFWTJ5cGm7WdqqIApwinXKeErKq0DLQ4tUi4k7vjwBrDOsSixp7KSs9l0NDTftad1tHZE-GI42rlGeq66-7sOO4O73rv8PAf89322vrS-wn79fzF_ro= Ranger start Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIBAdEEswx9DkgQfxGWFE0XLxmFGYoaOBpsGo8c3B0UHaoj9iQ8JKoksCaVJ6ko-ipbLYMvbzKJNuk8jkZxSVFKfVM1VUtVxlXWVvpXyVfiWfNaSFptYqxk52aeZ6BtbG17b55wu3Kpd-V82X11f8aApIMJhtGHdo9GkFWTJ5cGm7WdqqEiogCiQKcIp1ynhKyqr-u0DLQ4tUi4k7vjwBrDOsSixp7KSs9l0NDTftad1tHZE-GI42rlGeq66-7sOO4O73rv8PAf8930-Pba-tL7Cfv1_MX-ug== Shadow start and what my current spec looks like Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYBBLMMfQ5IEH8RlhRNFm8XLxmFGYoaOBpsGo8c3B0UHaoeGiP2JDwkqiSwJpUnqSj6Klstgy9vMok26TyORnFJUUp9UzVVS1XGVdZW-lfJV-JZ81pIWm1irGOnZOdmnmegbWxte2-ecLtyqXflfNl9dX_GgKSDCYbRh3aPRpBVkyeXBpu1naqiAKcIp1ynhKyqtAy0OLVIuJO748AawzrEosaeykrPZdDQ0hnTftad1tHZE91G4YjjauUZ6rrr7uw47g7veu_w8B_z3fba-tL7Cfv1_E78xf66_5M= General idea of how I would spend passives leveling: Spoiler 19 pts - Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYA_5MeGtIZ1tEqW7VIbXtVSyaVbWxTNZu1GYotg5cGxKL7CfbaGo8= 39 pts - Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYA_5MeGtIZ1tEqW7VIbWxte1M1VUubtSaVwzoZispKLYP7CW-elwb22oMJxKIaj0Zx4YgdqrQMkycc3H_GJ6labSQ8p1xJURGWcLvZEy9v 61 pts - Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYA_5MeGtIZ1tEqW7VIbWxte1M1VUubtSaVwzoZispKLYP7CW-elwb22oMJxKIaj0Zx4YgdqrQMkycc3H_GJ6labSQ8p1xJURGWcLvZEy9v6ro8jlfJKPrr7riTDH0Qf8aepwiPRtDQz2VVxh0U-tIXL2TnVdaApCSwhtE= 77 pts - Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYA_5MeGtIZ1tEqW7VIbWxte1M1VUubtSaVwzoZispKLYP7CW-elwb22oMJxKIaj0ZxtAzhiJMn6rodqhzcPI5_xlfJJ6kRlij6Wm1wu-vuJDzZE7iTp1wvb6cIDH1JUY9GEH8dFNDQxp760s9lZp4XL1XGwBpk54bRkFVZ81XWJLCnhKyqgKQaOHKp7Dh82Vfid-UyiQSzFE2iAA== 97 pts - Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYA_5MeGtIZ1tEqW7VIbWxte1M1VUubtSaVwzoZispKLYP7CW-elwb22oMJxKIaj0ZxtAzhiJMn6rodqhzcPI5_xlfJJ6kRlij6Wm1wu-vuJDzZE7iTp1wvb6cIDH1JUY9GEH8dFNDQxp760s9lZp4XL1XGwBpk54bRkFVZ81XWJLCnhKyqgKQaOHKp7Dh82Vfid-UyiQSzFE2iADbp42okqhmFGmzz3bvj_rp9ddN-73ruDiP27_BaSFb6_MVnoId2Sn0= That's probably how I'd level, something along those lines. It's really up to you what you want to prioritize and when. Enjoy. Bandits: 40 life // 8 attack speed // free passive Things to mention about the spec - You won't be running all 5 auras like I do until you have a lvl 20 reduced mana and all of those reduced mana nodes. That's not too big a deal, it's the 3 damage ones that are essential for the build to work best. You can always sacrifice some dps and go for Acrobatics, Ondar's Guille or Phase Acrobatics but I've found they're not all that necessary. Just build a high life pool, good resists and play with your head and you'll be fine. Ele reflect can be a slight problem until you get good resits and life like me. Using both topaz and ruby flasks helps greatly when attacking large packs with reflect. I'll answer any questions people have and I'm trying to upload a video of just a random boss kill to see the spec in action.

Spoiler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqfmizoqraU FAQS Mathil! Life leech vs Life on hit, why? Where? When? How do I life? Spoiler Right, so at the moment I use life leech in my 6L almost all of the time. I do however have a high quality and level Life on Hit gem with me at all times which I will swap in over life leech usually only for maps that have 50% regen and some sort of damage resistance. With 50% regen and enfeeble for example, life leech will have a tough time keeping you up so you'll find life on hit to be the superior gem in that situation. You're still better off swapping your life leech gem back in for bosses/single target because that is where life on hit truly does near nothing. Mathil! I want to shock everything and I read what static blows does and I think it is good and I want to use it and why shouldn't I use it and tell me how to use it. Spoiler Whoa now, slow your roll. I've tried static blows and I found almost no difference when it matters. See how it works is when shocking something it gets shocked for a duration based on how much lightning damage you do as a percentage of their health. So if for example you take a swing at piety and deal 1% of her hp in damage and your chance to shock procs, you will shock her for roughly 0 time meaning your next hit won't gain any benefit from a shock stack. If however you swing at a white monster, deal 50% damage and your chance to shock procs you will shock him for infinite time. The problem with that is the monsters you are shocking are already taking a huge amount of damage from you and don't need to be shocked, it is therefor wasted on them. The places were you need the shock stacks are the high hp monsters which don't want to get shocked. Since our damage is so steady and regular you won't ever be shocking high hp monsters for any real amount of time. Skip these passives. Mathil! I found this .00002 attack speed 2h maul with MEGA elemental damage on it. Time to equip it and pwn face right? Spoiler Wrong my friend. This spec relies so heavily on damage from Anger/Wrath and attack speed that what you want is a weapon as fast as possible, in most cases forgoing high amounts of elemental damage even. You want to aim for a foil (1 handed sword) with over 2.0 attacks per second, ideally 2.1+. The ideal weapon has this type of speed as well as elemental damage on it but that may be hard to come by for a lot of people as it is rare and expensive. Yo Mathil! So you're a scrub, scrubbing it up on scrubcore with your scrub friends and... a question? Oh right. Since you're a scrub and I'm better than you in every way possible I am going to play Hardcore. I WILL make this Hardcore viable. Is it hardcore viable? Spoiler First of all, excuuuuuse you. To answer the question though, yea you can play this in Manmodecore. There isn't any real difference in the spec, it all comes down to playstyle. The reason I have and do sometimes die on my spec is because I go deep, balls deep. I'm always zipping around, going through and into large packs and testing every hard boss/mob I come across. Change the playstyle to suit hardcore more and sure, there's no reason you won't survive all the way to 100. Something like a lightning coil becomes more desirable when doing a hardcore build and you may forego some damage nodes for a bit more life. Not a great deal changes though. Oh man Iron Reflex. That passive is dope, I'm so taking it. Who is ready to praise my genius and ingenuity for changing the way you breath air itself? Wait what?, I shouldn't take it? Spoiler Well... I personally am not for it. I don't think you can get enough armor in this spec to make it worth taking, especially since you will not have unwavering stance. Yea you can grab extra evasion/armor% passives or run grace instead of haste (you just lost 40% attack speed, congrats) but you're losing dps or life in most cases by doing so. Right now I believe the tankiest you can be is with a lightning coil, a granite flask and evasion gear everywhere else. Acrobatics is also an option and one I took all of last league. It hasn't changed and is still great but I've gone without it so far and haven't really missed it. If you're struggling it may be one for you to take. DoubleU-tee-eff Mathil, why do I only have 2k deeps while you have a bajillion? Please look at my gear and tell me why I didn't read your guide or look at your gear? Spoiler No. But to answer the dps question: This spec relies on everything working together in sync. You'll be surprised at how all the little things adding up give you a massive boost. Are your gems level 20? Are you wearing an Alphas? Do you have WED on your rings, belt and amulet? Do you have 15 attack speed on gloves? Does your weapon have 2.1 APS? Are your gems 20%? Do you have a 6link? Are you close to level 90? When you have answer yes to most of these things you'll be breaking 10k deeps easily. To give you an example when levelling my wrath from 19-20 I gained 300 dps. Then anger levelled, st, lmp, wed, etc. I gained close to 1k dps just by having my gems go 19-20. Now you can even get funky stuff like level 21 gems or +1 to gems in your Alphas. This spec should cap out at around 16-20k dps which believe me, is quite a lot for a resolute technique spec. Having a constant reliable source of dps like that in many cases beats the higher dps specs that have streaky damage. God damnit Mathil you sexy beast. How did you get so good looking? I love your spec and will never wash my eyes after having read this guide. Thank you for posting and coming up with it and please sign my mousepad. Spoiler Aww well thanks. I actually get this type of message quite a lot (maybe not exactly the above...) and you're absolutely welcome. I appreciate the support and am glad you enjoy it as much as I do. This spec to me is THE spec and god help us if they ever nerf anything to do with it. ~nfs " Mathil wrote: Just got done with her. I was solo.

Before Expansion " Invalesco wrote: Banner courtesy of engrace Scion version: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/771151 Hi everyone! I just started POE again last week seeing as it was the christmas break, and after having a look at the new uniques, decided to try and build around Berek's Grip and the Cloak of Defiance. From the forums, I got the impression that Freezing pulse and casters in general were lacklustre, so I decided to go down that route. Just for kicks - since i've never tried anything like it in HC before, I decided to throw in acrobatics as well just to see how it would turn out. Similar to my RF build in the beginning of the year, this isn't really meant to be a guide, but just some info for ppl who might be thinking of heading down that path. Idea of the build - main objectives 1. Crit-based caster 2. Utilise Berek's Grip's mods to the fullest (life leech and mana leech) 3. As tanky as possible 4. Have excellent crowd control 5. Have some form of reflect mitigation Keystones - Eldritch Battery - Acrobatics - Phase Acrobatics - Ondar's Guile - Mind over matter (provided for by Cloak of Defiance) Skills Used Freezing Pulse - main skill for ranged aoe/single target DPS Fire Trap - adjuvant skill for ranged aoe/single target DPS Freeze Mine - excellent CC with a bonus --> reduces enemy's cold resist Lightning Warp - for mobility around the battlefield Arctic Armour - excellent form of damage mitigation with some form of CC Ice Spear - useful adjuvant skill for single target boss DPS while leveling Gameplay Style Warp --> Freeze mine and detonate --> Fire Trap --> Warp --> Pulse --> Warp --> Repeat Gameplay Videos 1.0.4 Spoiler *GMP-ed Pulse with The Taming and my rare wand* - Level 73 Canyon Map Run - Nemesis - Level 73 Dry Peninsula Map Run - Nemesis *GMP-ed Pulse without The Taming, with my rare wand* - Level 71 Colonnade Double Kole Map Run - Standard *GMP-ed Pulse without The Taming, with Void Battery* - Level 74 Maze Map Run - Standard - Level 73 Dark Forest Map Run - Standard - Level 72 Torture Chamber Map Run - Standard - Level 72 Mine Map Run - Standard - Blood Rage - No CI?

However, the disadvantage is that it offers no protection whatsoever against DoT - meaning stuff like viper strike, corrupting blood, puncture, burning etc. Hence, getting a healthy amount of life is equally as important. Another disadvantage is that to maintain a decent amount of available mana pool to buffer against damage, you will need to compromise on auras. Thankfully, as a caster, you don't really need that many auras (unless you're an EK user). Clarity is enough, although I may sometimes use Grace and compromise some mana if the map has mainly attackers instead of casters. My thoughts on Acrobatics in HC Spoiler It is very much improved as compared to how it was before. The damage mitigation can be quite noticeable at times. However, it is still a little dodgy (forgive the pun) as you can't quite help but feel a little unsafe. However, that 'dodginess' can be mitigated by stacking up on HP and Mana for an increased damage buffer, which is the strength of Acro in the first place - just a 6 point investment without a need for anything else. It is probably true however that although one heavy hit might instagib you - that heavy hit which may be capable of instagibbing you would pretty much also instagib an armour user. Bosses/Mobs to be wary of as an Acro user Spoiler - Undying Evangelists - Perpetus - Vaal - Museum map EK-er - Villa map boss - Jungle valley map boss - Labyrinth map boss - Maze map boss - Academy map boss How do I deal with ele reflect maps? Spoiler Use a Level 1 Freezing Pulse instead. (I'm actually serious). You'll still be dealing very high damage. Examples: - Level 71 Dry Woods Map with a Level 1 Freezing Pulse - Ele reflect Part I - Level 71 Arachnid Nest with a Level 1 Freezing Pulse - Ele reflect Part II Leveling Tree Spoiler 18 Points 28 Points 48 Points 75 Points - I did merci vaal here 94 Points 107 Points 114 Points - Level 96 Bandit Rewards Spoiler Normal - Help Oak Cruel - Kill everybody Merciless - Help Alira Gearing Needs Spoiler Chest - Cloak of Defiance Helm, boots, gloves - Look for Ev/ES gear. Mods to be prioritised (in descending order): Life, Resists, Mana, Ev/ES Wand/Sceptre - mods to be prioritised (in descending order): spell damage, cast speed, crit chance for spells, mana regen, mana, projectile speed Shield - mods to be prioritised (in descending order): spell damage, life, resists, crit chance for spells, mana, ES Amulet - mods to be prioritised (in descending order): Mana Regen, Life, Resists, Mana, Spell damage, cast speed, crit chance/crit multi Rings - Berek's Grip is useful for leveling early on. The Taming is nice but not necessary. For rare rings, mods to be prioritised (in descending order): Resists, Life, Mana Regen, Mana, Cast speed Belt - Life, triple res, ES In cases of ES versus Mana, remember that you have acrobatics, hence the actual mana you gain from ES is halved. In general, when comparing between pieces of gear, if one has mana + ES and the other has ES alone, just do a simple calculation. ES/2 + mana versus ES/2, then take the one with a higher value. Never neglect chaos res! Aim to get at least 0 in merci.

Also got a wand upgrade, which although it only increased my DPS slightly, increased my crit chance massively. With added lightning allowing me to shock stack mobs, as well as the Taming which I made, my actual DPS far exceeds my tooltip DPS of 3 x 6308 on Freezing Pulse and allows me to one-two shot most mobs, including rares in maps. With a L20 FP as well as fully leveled and qualitied supports, I expect the DPS to reach 3 x 7.3k. Fire trap DPS has also been improved, and is a hugely reliable alternative when facing ele reflect packs. Ele reflect is surprisingly not that huge a problem, as the mana pool helps in absorbing damage received, and phase acro is supposed to help me 'dodge' spell reflect. Also, I now have the life leech support linked. To be on the safe side, I still prefer to stick to fire trap however. Frost wall is proving to be a very useful CWDT skill, as it pushes melee mobs off me and blocks them off as well as blocking ranged and spell projectiles, while still allowing me to freeze pulse over it. I'm dealing massive amounts of damage now, so my projected skill tree has also changed, and all future points will go towards defensive options. Current Gear and Gem links Spoiler Current Defensive Stats Spoiler No change from above, except HP is now 3824 and mana after reservation is now 1870. Current Offensive Stats Spoiler Freezing pulse - with 5 power charges Spoiler DPS with GMP is 5 x 4.6k, but I'm a tad reluctant to use GMP atm because of lightning thorns and corrupting blood rares Fire Trap - with 5 power charges Spoiler Skill Tree Spoiler Current - Level 85 Projected - Level 95 Part 3 - Jan 3 2014 Spoiler Thoughts on this character This is easily one of the most fun and powerful caster characters I've ever played. Unfortunately, that contributed to my overconfidence and complacency and I RIP-ed to a lowly Villa map boss who stacked me with lightning traps and bear traps which crit and killed me. Passive tree at death Level 87 Current Gear and Gem links Spoiler Cost of gear Cloak - bought for 15 chaos, 50 jewellers to 6S, 162 fusings to 6L Helm - 2 ex 10 chaos Shield - 2 ex 4 chaos Wand - 3 ex Boots - 5 chaos Gloves - 1 ex Amulet - 3 ex Topaz Ring - 5 ex Prismatic Ring - 8 chaos Belt - 2 ex Situational gear Berek's Grip - to be used in elemental reflect maps or no regen maps The Taming - to be used in half regen maps with LMP linked to FP rather than GMP Current Defensive Stats Spoiler Current Offensive Stats Spoiler Freezing pulse - with 5 power charges Spoiler That was with GMP, so actual DPS is 5x With fully leveled damage supports, DPS should be able to hit 5x6.2k at least Fire Trap - with 5 power charges Spoiler Part 4 - Jan 4 2014 Spoiler Did a respec oriented around this unique wand: Level 87 In terms of nodes, HP was increased by 16%, Evasion decreased by 16%, Cold damage decreased by 24%, mana decreased by 8%, but Power Charge limit was increased by 1. That translated to ~200 increased flat HP and ~100 mana decrement, and a DPS increase (even with the old wand). Stats are below: Defensive Stats after the respec Spoiler Offensive Stats after respec Spoiler Freezing pulse - these are with GMP, so actual DPS is 5x Spoiler Old wand, 0 charges Spoiler Old wand, 6 charges Spoiler Void Battery, 0 charges Spoiler Void Battery, 7 charges Spoiler Void Battery, 7 power charges, 3 frenzy charges Spoiler Fire Trap Spoiler Old wand, 0 charges Spoiler Old wand, 6 charges Spoiler Void Battery, 0 charges Spoiler Void Battery, 7 charges Spoiler Verdict regarding Void Battery Spoiler Nice, but not necessary. Great against PvE, but will not be as good as a good rare wand in terms of providing consistent damage output in PvP. A top tier mirror-worthy rare wand with the top spell damage prefix, spell damage + mana hybrid prefix, top cast speed suffix, top critical chance for spells suffix and proj speed/mana regen will definitely outdps or be more useful than void battery. Part 5 - Jan 7 2014 Spoiler Character playtime so far Currently level 89, doubt I have the patience/time to grind much further with exams coming up. Bought a void battery for 30 SC exalteds (the last one in nemesis sold for 17) as well as another ring with chaos res for 3 HC exalteds. DPS screenshots for this build is still not fully optimised yet, with 3 of my support gems still not at max level. Gear-wise I'm quite pleased with what I've got offensively, aside from the amulet which can use some improvements. I am able to run blood rage easily, which has raised my DPS. FP's tooltip DPS right now is 5 x 7414.3, although with max leveled gems it should hit 5 x 8.2k.
