[2.2]->[2.6] Pathfinder Budget / Lightning Arrow / 100% pierce / Crit / Infractem

The gear posted is the one i currently use - nothing really changed since.

For the non-budget?

Atziri steps for dodge OR +frenzy charge Darkray boots (for dodge as well). That forces on us getting resist from other places. With jewels it might be possible.

Chest.. new chests do not play well with this build so my old suggestions stand.

Same with quiver. Good rare with life crit crit multi and some kind of defense sholud not be beaten by drillneck. Any quiver with +arrow is hands down amazing for this build.

And ofc a 6link. Not for the damage but LGoH. The damage is already there. Ability to do reflect maps without breaking a sweat sounds and is fun.

+curse amulet seals the deal as ability to run Poachers and Assassins at once pretty much solves most problems. Temp chains and Enfeeble for hard encounters (even colors match so easy to swap).

But these are really for the wealthy.

Mid tier option - would try and get as much armor on rares. Ev/ar gear in 2.0 is imo better than pure ev.

Ps forgot about the vids. My bad.

Uploaded one 2.0 video (have been playing melee characters so not many opportunities to record something worth watching)

From the build updates, found (that is bought and linked) this:


Will have to do miracles to sort out my resists but I so do want to use this chest..

nice guide thanks
I am remaking one with Shadow on 1month, I did choose the lightning damage shock right up from starting node to use while leveling it seems to help

that armor needs like 20 resist or so like QOF

Hey i like this build quite a lot,very fun ! could you add maybe the order of where u allocated the skill points ?

How would you change around the build for 2.1 ? Anything major happened with the update ?

Updated for 2.1

lvl ~20

this gives lots of life and attack speed making leveling bit quicker (also movement speed). no jewel sockets, not that much damage. try to get 2 iron rings to boost damage and a phys quiver

lvl ~40

lots of damage nodes, right now the character should feel A LOT stronger. two nodes next to Aspect of the Eagle are to be respeced into the two crit/phys nodes above (at this level crit is not good enough to prioritize). same with Essence Sap - these 3 nodes wont be needed once Infractem + Thief's Torment combo is equipped
Try to get yourself a Deaths Harph bow at this point


lvl ~60

transition. this is the tree when you are able to equip Infractem and Thief's Torment: lvl 53. some nodes are respeced, some removed. you should have reasonably good jewels at this level to equip them. if you do not have them - skip the jewel slots!

from now on just fill what is missing. prioritize life not damage on your items and keep an eye on accuracy (chance to hit should not drop below 85% and it is best to keep it around 92%+)

Thanks for build, i'm now 67 level and merciless levels are much easier than builds i've used before.
