Items

Appart from storm cloud and atziris foible, the only real MUST HAVE item for this build is a lioneye’s glare. The whole build is based on having this item, an no other fits the role so perfectly. Get one as soon as possible. (The main stat to look at is APS, the higher the better, don’t care about anything else!)

Bow: Lioneye’s

Boots: Lioneye’s Paws if you need STR and Dex. Otherwise Life and resist.

Chest: Piece should now have a lot of ES and a lot of EV OR Armour, whichever you find, with some decent life.

Quiver: should have life and resist, as well as either attack speed, ore weapon elemental damage. Whichever is missing, master craft it on.

Rings: are mana regen life and resist

gloves: have attack speed life and resist (added ele dmg is a luxiry)

Amulett: atziris foible

Helm: Anything with life and resist is good. After the first 5-6 days, try to look for an alphas howl. It’s the signature item for this build, and you need it for your last aura.

You are all set with 4000+ Life, You have lioneye’s and alphas howl, high mana regen and you managed to 5L you lioneye’s. It’s all 74+ Maps from now! Until you have all 4 Challenges!

Ta-tat-ta ta! Now that you have 2x lvl 20 reduced mana and alphas howl, you can just barley squeeze in Herald of ash. You are currently reserving 96% of your mana, but with your mana regen, and 2000+ base mana that not a problem!

Vendor Recipes
Wiki for recipes: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vendor_recipe_system

(“recipes” work by putting them into the selling window on the bottom of any vendor, you can check what you are getting by looking at the offer window on the top)

At the very beginning you want to get a +1 to cold gems weapon. You can do this be using the recipe:

Blue wand or Scepter, preferably at least 2 linked, + Alteration orb + Sapphire Ring

Feel free to pop an augmentation orb on your crafted weapon for an additional suffix.

If you have trouble finding sapphire rings you can vendor recipe them using an iron ring + any trash blue gem

You will put the ice Nova in this weapon with added cold and lightning as soon as you have them. Because you know what gems you will use, try to start out from a scepter/wand that already has these color of links.


Later you might want to craft a good bow. (Dissclaimer, the regal Orb is VERY expensive and you probably can buy much better weapons for less online!) For this start out with a high Attack per Second Base. Use the recipe:

Any rarity type of Weapon + Rare Rustic Sash + a Whetstone

Use an Augment and a Regal Orb on it

And add Flat Phyisichal dmg from Tora, to finish it up.

Masters

Haku
It’s very important to get Haku to lvl 4 as soon as possible. You want to use his resist Craft for 12 augments each on relatively good rare items. This can easily carry you to Merciless.

Eleron
Eleron is you best friend in the beginning of the game. He will be you go-to Master to help finishing up you resists because you can use those crafts from lvl 3 Eleron. ( I advise doing a daily rotation with friends or on the Global chanel #820 as soon as you get lvl 2 eleron) He should be your first “Create Hideout”

Tora
If you are leaning more to the self found route, getting tora to LVL 3 is important for the flat physical dmg master craft. You can Craft a “Royal bow at lvl 28” or even better, a “Grove bow at lvl 25” to % physical damage with the Belt Vendor Recepie, then upgrade it to rare with a regal, and put the flat physical master craft on it. I advise however to buy a storm cloud instead.
