Power Siphon Burning Wander Shadow

... ES alternate of Sir Kripparians original burning concept, ... I don't know anything. ... Wander or Riot.

His original vid (about 3min 40sec in): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyC8taYyFcE
He said on stream himself its a pretty sketchy build, so you probably shouldn't play it :) and go pew-pew with some other skill instead.

Normal Build:

With Crown of Eyes Unique Only:

Notes:
- BANDITS: get extra power charge.
- Arcane Vision: node needed for scary dark maps.
- Heart of Oak: Must have passive, refer Stats section below (Defence part write-up on stun avoidance).
- Ghost Reaver: Must have passive, for leech.
- Zealots Oath: Must have passive, for your regeneration to apply to your energy shield as this is a low-life build.
- Reduced Mana Reserved Nodes: Will be needed if you want to run 6 auras.
- Inner Force and other Aura Buff Nodes: 6 Auras ... no brainer.
- Power Charges: You want them all !!!, 3 base charges, 3 from tree, 1 from Bandits Reward.
- Frenzy Charges: For use in conjunction with Blood Dance Boots.
- Build lacks dexterity and strength, you may need to take some of the 30 nodes based on gear
- Reflect, can't do ele reflect modded maps with current damage, but rares are ok, will have to get vids of it sometime. (http://youtu.be/je3ur3ngr2Q). With my current damage, the safest way to deal with reflect is to let all the charges drop, ... and use auto attack.

Scrubcore - I know.


Offence:

- Chance to hit is with additional accuracy
- Attacks per second is buffed by quality blood rage (on low life)
- Physical Damage
1) Important for life leech (ES leech with Ghost Reaver Passive), life leech gem not needed as the leech is from using blood rage gem.
2) Important for mana leech with Auxium unique belt.
- Fire Damage - Important for Ignite / Burn / Prolif (with added fire gem)
- Lightning Damage - Important for causing shock stacks on monsters which is also proliferated with the burn.

Defence:

- No armour - I know, ... not trying to be something its not. Granite, Granite, Granite.
- Chance to Evade - With Grace Aura
- Stun Avoidance - 30% from Heart of Oak passive.

Which is in addition to your base of 50% to avoid stun when you have greater than zero energy shield. Not 100% I know, but as good as you're going to get without getting unwavering stance, or wearing an eye of chayula. Without it in maps you can get stunned like crazy, and is noticeable with/without it.

Reference: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Energy_shield

- Mana Regen - You will also gain mana leech with Auxium unique belt.
- Energy Shield Regeneration Per Second - With 5 Frenzy charges with Blood Dance boots.
- Run Speed Increase - With 5 Frenzy Charges with Blood Dance boots.

Charges:

1) Power Siphon: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Power_Siphon
2) Weapon Elemental: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Weapon_Elemental_Damage
3) Additional Accuracy (Quality for Crit Bonus) http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Additional_Accuracy
4) Increased Critical Damage: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Increased_Critical_Damage
5) Elemental Proliferation: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Elemental_Proliferation
6) Added Fire Damage (Great for Physical Wands): http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Added_Fire_Damage

Mana Cost for Burning Prolif Setup:

Power Siphon Lvl 5: Base Mana Cost per attack: 15
Power Siphon Lvl 20: Base Mana Cost per attack: 18

Power Siphon + Weapon Elemental + Increased Crit + Prolif + Additional Accuracy
Lvl 05: 15 x 1.5 x 1.3 x 1.4 x 1 = 41 mana per attack
Lvl 20: 18 x 1.5 x 1.3 x 1.4 x 1 = 49 mana per attack

Because the mana cost is low, half-regen, no regen is not much of an issue, which was not the case with lmp/gmp with chain setups.

Other Options:
1) Life Leech: if you don't have a good physical wand, or struggling to stay alive.
2) Increased Critical Strikes: moaaarr damage
3) Faster Attacks: though quality blood rage on low life is insane enough, with imbued wand base.
4) Power Charge on Crit: interesting one as a swap in only for elemental prolif for those single high HP bosses / situations where you don't need prolif but find it hard to keep charges up because power siphon only gives it to you on kill.

Another option is just having frenzy + pcoc somewhere in your setup to keep both frenzy and power charges up during boss fights.

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Aura
(currently on gloves with reduced mana)
- Discipline
- Purity
- Wrath

(currently on boots with reduced mana - because green is easier to get on evasion based blood dance boots)
- Grace
- Haste
- Anger

- You can put 3 x 60% auras on life and 1 x 40% aura (purity, vitality is another option though blood dance gives you plenty with its unique mod).

- The remaining two auras go on Mana.

- DO NOT RUN HATRED

- I currently use Malachai's Simula unique helm to BM the auras, ... I know GGG said they will eventually fix this ... but until then. I prefer these over covenant, as covenant you have to take Shavronnes off, and with Chaos Damage modded maps you can accidently kill yourself with Shavronnes off zoning in to the map. Hence the helm unique is preferred.

- I zone into the map with the unique helm on to save recasting the 4 auras on life. Therefore I only have to re-cast the 2 auras on mana once in the map.

- Once the aura trick is fixed I'll be likely to drop Haste/Purity/Grace

(currently in wand)
- Blood Rage (Qual gives attack speed): also for the life leech from physical http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Blood_Rage
- Flammability (Main Curse) - fire resistant monsters, fir res map mod. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Flammability
- Lightning Warp (For Mobility)

(currently in shield)
the skellies really help for distracting monsters
- spell totem
- summon skeletons
- faster casting

(currently in helm)
- cast when damage taken (lvl 5 right now)
- decoy totem (lvl 10) for cwdt proc
- enfeeble (great for reflect and bosses, and crazy hard hitting stuff)
- raise zombie (... mucking around with this)
- you could easily enough run a 4 link cwdt setup with enduring cry, molten shell, the problem is if you're using pure ES helm, the colours will be hard, possible on Armour/ES hybrid helm.

Required / Core Uniques (... the cost I know):
Shavs: required to run low life.


Auxium: Required for mana leech, chill and freeze status mod.


Blood Dance:
Not really required, however my preferred and recommended boots.

Other options: Wake of Destruction gives moar !!!! damage, Rainbowstrides are great all round ES boots.

Other Uniques:
Thunderfist: Deeeeeeeps !!!!


Maligaros: Deeps !!!


The Taming:
Unique option if you don't have any good ele rings


Example Items:
Wand
(sorry not many examples, my wands are dumpster)
- physical rolls so you can get enough leech, and also converted to fire with added fire.
- added lightning, added fire desirable
- increased crit chance highly desirable on the wand.


The best GG wands -> http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/535207

Helm
- High ES, Resits, Accuracy is a bonus


Bling Bling
- DO NOT USE ANY ADDED COLD DAMAGE MODS ON GEAR
- Elemental Damage
- Accuracy
- ES / Resists
- Crit on amulet


Shield
- High ES
- Resists


Notes on Crown of Eyes:
- Crown of eyes will give you substantial damage with the Pain Attunement Passive Node, as well as spell damage per power charge node in the witch area.
- If you are filthy rich, the crown of eyes spec is provided in the build section, and ideally you will benefit from spell damage mods on ammy and shield such as these:


It will be harder to cap fire res, with COE.

Currently use these


- I run two mana for quality of life, but could probably just use 1.
- Bleeding is generally not a problem with the ES regen you have with blood dance and constant leech. (other than vulnerability mod of course)
- Surgeons mod is amazing for crit builds.
- I also these flasks depending on map mod and boss:

- Why I play this spec, wanders can scale damage really high and have really good damage at full charges, and generally a really fun spec for the pew pew. Having also played tanky specs with so so deeps, this spec cures my need for some monster bludging.

- Group play, .... everyone always hated me with traditional wander setup, with gmp/chain and culling everything, ... because of ppl specialising in MF, hence why all the vids will be solo and no group vids. Because this spec is 1 projectile, they won't hate you as much, if they're a little uptight about their MF.

- The burn will not be as profound in group play because of the extra health, I generally either run solo, or two man with a buddy, where its not an issue.

- You run 6 auras, surely someone in your group will love you.

- Levelling as a wander is extremely terrible, I did it as cleave, and specced into the wand nodes somewhere after 60 when imbued wand, angelic shields, and some of the uniques (great items for the bulid) are available for use due to their level cap. Sorry, I don't have any other great ideas for levelling easily.

- Personally I always farm docks until about 70, when the xp starts to decline. Use this as a guide unless you do already: http://poetools.com/experience-penalty/

- Wander builds have been around forever, out of the traditional LMP/Chain, phys wander, ele wander, low life phys wander which I have all tried, this one has been personally the most fun.

- Definitely isn't the tankiest spec, so if you want to level to 100 efficiently, probably should play something more safer.
