Passive Skill Tree

You can find an optimized Path of Building here. Every build I release will use the community fork of Path of Building. You can find PoB’s Fork, by LocalIdentity, here.

If you are not comfortable with Path of Building, PoePlanner’s website offers you a non-PoB alternative to import the code from the above link. it is highly recommended you install Path of Building to follow builds most optimally.

For more information about the appropriate gear choices and their breakdown, please refer to our gear page .

Progression Advice

I suggest you swap into this build at level 70-75 at the earliest. Ideally, you are level 85 & have the gear ready, which shouldn’t be to expensive Early League. You can make sacrifices in movement Speed, drop the belt for higher resistances or attributes etc.

Gem Links

Tornado Shot – Main Link (6-Link)

We’re listing Awakened Gems here because they’re fairly decent upgrades. You can pick up some of these Awakened upgrades relatively cheaply. Obviously, feel free to use regular versions before upgrading to the Awakened versions.

Manaforged Arrows

Little bit of a sidenote here. If you can get a Level 4 Enlighten, or a pair of Double Corrupted Gloves with +1 Gems & Despair on Hit, you could forego this setup & run a Focused Ballista setup instead, which gets you about 60% more Single Target DPS but since this is a mapper, and I generally have never found something that lasts long, I never bothered & stuck with a Manaforged Arrows Support setup and never looked back.

Despair

Auras

Note : This works with an Enlighten level 1, but then you drop the Defiance Banner. Make sure the Enlighten is in a +1 Socketed Gems pair of Gloves so it is at least level 2. Whenever you get a level 3 Enlighten, you can use Defiance Banner in an extra socket elsewhere.

Defiance Banner

Buffs

You’re running a Vaal Haste to active Zerphi’s Heart & a Blood Rage which you should use once at the start of the map (or when you’ve not killed anything for like 10 seconds, but that shouldn’t happen).

Blood Rage

Leftover Gems

I like to have a Cast on Death – Portal setup for when I die on builds like these. Otherwise, running back an entire map is kind of annoying & even though it doesn’t happen very often, since we’re a speedbuild, losing time by walking back is not something I envy. If you don’t want this, you could technically use an extra socket by 6-linking your Manaforged Arrows and running a Culling Strike in there. Other than that, the gems here underneath can go wherever you have sockets.
