Gearing During the Campaign

Weapons

Unlike most attack builds, weapon damage does not matter for this build at all. This build scales its damage entirely off of skill gem level, damage over time increases, and attack speed. Because of this difference, you can easily complete Act 10 Kitava with a bow you found in Act 1!

Resistances & Attributes

Path of Exile’s endgame is tuned with the expectation that players will have at least 75% of each Elemental Resistance, and at least 0% Chaos Resistance. Elemental Resistances and Attributes are available as suffixes on most pieces of gear, and getting more of them is good.

Capping your Elemental Resistances isn’t mandatory throughout the first half of the campaign (or the second half, really), but if you find that you are struggling to stay alive, check this issue first. You can return to your hideout and craft resistances onto pieces of gear using the crafting bench at any point you start feeling weak.

Flasks

Flasks are a strong gear slot for all builds in Path of Exile, but they are significantly more important for Pathfinder builds than they are for others. Be sure to update your Life and Mana Flasks throughout the campaign as you level up. Once you finish the campaign and enter maps, use Orb of Alteration Orb of Alteration to roll your flasks to gain better modifiers on them.

Bow and Quiver

Bow

Thicket Bow
______________________________________________________

Explicits
______________________________________________________

  1. +1 to level of Socketed Gems
  2. +2 to level of Socketed Support Gems
  3. +80% Increased Chaos Damage over Time
  4. 17-19% Increased Attack Speed
  5. 18-20% Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier
  6. Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers

These are the attributes you want on a standard endgame Thicket Bow, and you can use it to clear all content in the entire game. It costs a minimum of five Divines to craft, but generally not much more than eight. It’s one of the cheapest endgame weapons for any build in PoE.

At much higher budget levels and with a near-perfect quiver, a well-rolled and corrupted Widowhail Widowhail will outperform a meta-crafted Thicket Bow, but the price difference is enormous.

Quiver

Broadhead Arrow Quiver

  3. X% increased Damage with Bow Skills
  4. +X% to Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier with Attack Skills
  5. X% increased Movement Speed
  6. +100 to Maximum Life

A basic quiver with attack speed, life, and one Damage Over Time Multiplier modifier will take you through Tier 16 maps and Pinnacle Bosses. A Hunter quiver with both Damage Over Time Multiplier modifiers will push your damage to new heights.
