[2.0] Kinetic Blast Wander | Physical and Elemental | HC Viable [BOTW S4E6]

Thanks for the help jbm! I will try to make those changes.

Hey guys.
I'm currently level 79 and lacking defences... Swapped my gear from my steamrolling level 90 split arrow to this kinetic blast char but i die so much faster... My clearspeed is awesome for packs... 15k with charges and oneshotting everything.
I'm also at the crit cap 95% with charges up.

What can i do, so i die less?

Best survivability increase would be: CWDT-Enfeeble-Immortal Call-Inc. Duration
Even without adding endurance charges that should help a lot.

- Self cast enduring cry is always good.
- Chaos golem with minion life/resistance for decoy and 4% reduction.
- Swap an aura for AA, probably a last resort option as you lose lots of DPS
- More leech? If you're just relying on the 0.4% from the shadow life node it might not help enough with bosses. Consider adding it on jewelry or gloves.
- Turn off blood rage if you use it and swap to frenzy single target or GMP spread as we can't mitigate the loss very well.
- Lightning warp link for getting out of sticky situations strongbox, find yourself surrounded, one shot mechainc activating etc.)

Other than that I can't think of much. Your gear is fine. I'm assuming you have Acro + Phase Acro, that's all most of us have. I use rare EV chest as well instead of Daresso's and don't have much issue. Just try and stay in the zone and keep moving? Sometimes I know I get lazy and forget to move around and just get killed by playing stupidly or thinking I can tank / out leech damage when these characters should gtfo.

Thanks for the detailled answer!
I'll try the different golem
But switching off blood rage? gives extra leech + the charges is awesome. The degen is no problem

The problem are exiles or bosses who come near(flicker and stuff like that)

That's exactly what I mean. If the boss can kill you in 2-3 seconds, that's 12% of your health gone from degen while the fight is happening. Now if you get stunned by their attack or freak out and try to run away while they hunt you down, or you attack and miss, that leech isn't doing anything and you just lost health for free that could maybe have been used to buy time to get to a safer distance.

Keeping it on isn't a huge deal, but it's a little thing that may help you survive. I just listed off anything I could think to increase survivability the slightest bit.

Well, maybe i just get some more level and try enfeeble + immortal call..

but its strange... with the same gear on my other char i faceroll + just build damage and get less damage..

Enfeeble + immortal call is amazing. My second line of defense is flasks; it's very important to have a good set. This one takes me up to something like 68% chance to evade. I'm working to get Surgeon's Sapphire Flask of Heat and an identical one for lightning and shock. It's crucial to have good health pots as well, obviously. I have bubbling of staunching and surgeon's of grounding, but I'm looking to upgrade that to surgeon's of addrenaline. I can use it even at full health by popping blood rage, which is up almost all of the time anyways.

53K dps fully buffed (5 power / 6 frenzy / promise flask)

83% crit chance fully buffed

372 crit modifier

3.77 attacks per second (full 6 frenzy charges)

26% evasion (w/o flasks)

about 4,700 life


Frost wall single targets makes for some fun game play (no pierce). In fact, with frost wall and no pierce with this set up, you don't need a single target skill. KB will take care of single targets/ boss mobs no problem. Gems in gear are as played in game.


Game play is as follows: you run around (41% movement speed) and fire off KB. Most of the screen melts with a couple pumps. Any type of boss / resistant rare, you put down a frost wall or two and KB into the frost wall, bosses proceed to melt. This won't work with pierce. Just saying


Current wand cost me 25 chaos, not the 15 ex for a wtf physical wand to make this build viable late game.

At 90 (current level 86), I'll pick up graceful assault. This will put my DPS to about 63K and give me 30% straight up evasion.

Your not invincible but the combination of life, frost wall tactics, evasion and dps makes this build viable late game. You could switch out belly for daresso's to generate endurance charges and then take out vaal power siphon and put in a CWDT / IC set up.


Anyway, after playing this build vs. the physical counterpart, there is no comparison.

Good luck

I just wanted to thank Oos for posting this guide. I've wanted to use Kinetic Blast since it came out, but I wasn't really sure where to start. I just got my Ranger to level 47, and I've been having a blast (pun intended). I haven't followed the build exactly, but I'm very grateful for an outline that I could modify to my taste.

Sydin how you was albe to have 57k DPS(even with promise flask)? Your wand is not the best one I think because it has very low physical dmg and HoI and Hatred/most passives boost our physical dmg so this 57k DPS sound strange for me...

How much promise flask boost your dps?
