Why multiple curses?

Safety, massive damage increases, adoration from party members, etc.

Why bows / quivers?

Bows and quivers give a ton of different options in gearing.

Bows also attack faster than you can cast a spell.

From my experiences, **Curse on Hit with Ice Shot / Chain** is a bit faster than Ball Lightning / GMP, arc, etc for curse application due to its chill, AOE, and patch changes.

CI vs Life

"

The reasons I chose CI are because of the favourable changes to the ES nodes, flask utility, and the inherent gear flexibility in not having to worry about life and chaos resist on gear.

The bow and quiver use up slots that are typically reserved for resists and defense in typical summoner builds. CI allows us to focus our defense/resists on less gear.

Due to the changes to the buffs to ES nodes, even before you spec into CI, you have a ton of survivability from ES and the increased life gain per level from 8-12.


In regards to stun and freeze, USE convocation and minions to protect you! I use Eye of Chayula for stun-y bosses.

More in depth reasons can be found here http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/479976 along with a lot of other good summoner information.

I have congregated all the information into one Google spreadsheet:

picked up RT so i wouldn't have to worry about accuracy on bow/helmet/ring which allows me to spec resists/dex on the bow and get an andvarius or a resist ring for elemental weakness maps

just got andvarius and sorted out all my resists -- 126 rarity and full resists w/ quad curse - full effectiveness

new changes make the character capable of full resists on elemental weakness maps if i switch out the andvarius

might experiment with running dual curse and slotting in culling strike / item rarity in the bow. then switching in another rarity ring/ES in place of the doedre's
this would only be for easier maps

Hit all my gems to level 20
want to get my q20 gems to exceed the level 20 effectiveness, which is about level 10 so not very long before i make a full sweeping update / video
if any of you guys are still checking this out let me know, want to know how you guys are doing with the build

everything here is a bit of a mess. more of a stream of consciousness and mental notes for myself with some bearings of a guide for you guys

it has been a journey but i'm pretty happy with where the build is.

my gear atm is basically done, unless i get a 750+ ES chest / 300+ ES helmet.
might try to divine my chest to get 700+ ES.

i'll link it if you're curious



most expensive thing was the andvarius 2ex. chest was an exalt (already 6S). bow was 40c. gloves were 30c. amulet was 10c. helmet 10c. fished for some deals on some of the stuff but nothing egregious.
