[2.3] King's "Close Stalker" - Blast Rain + Puncture Trap + 50/25 Block [HC and Atziri deathless]
|
I was thinking about it, of course, but I really don't have any space left for more Gems :S (plus phys damage doesn't Hurt at all, even from heaviest hitters)
If only we could get one 3 link on belt.. I might remove Vaal grace and Vaal Haste and add CWDT ic combo. |

Finally made it to maps, atm at lvl 74, While some mobs still hit hard on 9.8k armor (colossal skeletons etc) build is innately tanky due chin sol simply keeping most of the dangers away. However as i progress is feel how the Shrapnel shot value diminishes while Blast Rain value rises...
current gear:

" Yep, I must agree that shrapnel shot starts to feel weak later on. That's why I use Puncture trap now. It has a perfect synergy with Chin Sol and Point Blank keystone and it helps me kill even the toughest bosses in the game. I'll upload a new video soon so you can see it in action! PS You have the base of the build, now it's time for some Chaos recipes and Rumi's flasks, 5L Daresso's, 5L Chin Sol... :) |

UPDATE: Shrapnel shot is kinda lacking in late game, but Blast Rain does a perfect job keeping you alive and doing enough damage. Instead of Shrapnel Shot, I'll use Puncture trap which is perfect for doing harder bosses and Atziri.
Updated gear and gems section, added another map video. Atziri kills: 3 |

hi i'm new and i've got question why you choose in the tree: two handed melee damage, mace damage and the staff nodes if you use a bow?? Please be forgiving to me.

" That is because of this jewel: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Lioneye's_Fall It transforms all that to bow damage :) |

thank you very much :)

" Well no, damage-wise Shrapnel is fine, 1-2 shots everything alright, but its the utility, Its too slow to be a source of health regen via leech, it doesnt hit the targets behind you and it can get dangerous in zones where you have those flicker striking dischargers from act3 and the reversed cone effect doesnt always knock back the adjacent targets, Blast rain does all that, for a cost of a tiny bit less of dmg per hit(easily overshadowed by its sheer speed) |

That's exactly what I meant, just was too lazy to write it :D spot on!
But puncture trap.. It just helps so much! I even did a hall of grandmasters, just throwing traps and watching them bleed out. Great stuff. Last edited by kralj87#7793 on Dec 24, 2015, 4:27:25 PM

Im trying this build but i wanted to get opinions on a twist. blast rain converts 50% phys to fire, I am trying it with blackgleam quiver to convert the other 50% to fire also... and im taking lava lash and other ele weapon damage.
I dont know final stats as i just hit 50 (started yesterday) but it seems that could still get all the physical damage and with lava lash just up the dps even more since lava lash is right there for the taking. |
