I know you posted it yet can you confirm that it is possible to get 25% BR damage on helm. I have run a lot and just want to make sure before continuing. Thanks.

There are ~ 360 different helm enchantments. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/List_of_helmet_enchantment_mods

25% increased Blast Rain Damage is possible. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/EnchantmentBlastRainDamage1

Well, the Lab was very kind to me last night.

Rolled all 3 of those in 4 runs. (Naturally, after many, many fails on the helm). I like Decree of Reflection on the gloves. Most of the offensive options don't really fit in all that well with the build, but the decoy makes for a nice distraction in tight situations. Another clone to mix in with Blink/Mirror versions.

Wow, praise RNGjesus... Colour me jealous.

Your focus should be: More life on the belt, Quadfecta Quiver and more importantly : Tri or Quadfecta amulet!

Amulets are one of the bigger DPS providers of this build, so you should utilize them as such.

Sorry if this sounds newbish, but what does "trifecta" or "quadfecta" mean, in regards to PoE? (I know what they are for horse racing, but I don't understand its context in a video game :P.)

Do you mean the life + dual or tri-res combo?

I will search around and upgrade my belt, quiver, and amulet :)!

No it doesnt sound "newbish", all good buddy.

Trifecta in terms of damage means: 3 damage mods on an item, quadfecta means 4.

For Voltaxic these are:
- Flat added lightning damage
- critical strike chance
- critical strike multiplier
- weapon elemental damage

All of these 4 can occur on quivers and amulets, hence the strong emphasize of getting damage on those slots.

Rings can have:
- flat added lightning damage
- weapon elemental damage

secondaries:
- critical strike chance (diamond rings) _or_ open suffix slot leading to crafted critical strike chance via Elreon if balanced stats(int) and resists.
- increased lightning damage (same effect like on jewels) eating up a suffix slot we would rather prefer a resist instead.

Hope it helped!

@Damier Do you stream?

Also, how do you deal with Porcupine?

Out of curiosty Damier, have you tried the additional accuracy gem instead of the crit gem? Accuracy in this build is pretty bad.

For a DEADEYE class, what is the best 5Link setup on blast rain?

I am not sure if WeD is better than Added lightning or not. Seems poison + conc + void manipulation is a MUST and then some say WeD and some say Added lightning.

Hey, Im using this on my new character but I have a question. Is there a lvling tree guide? And what ascendancy class should I take? Im thinking of Raider but Champion sounds nice aswell..

@nEgativezEro89: Yeah, it seems like you got really lucky with your purchases. I've spent days and days searching, but there's never something reasonable (I assume others are nabbing the deals quicker than I find them).

So for the rings, I should set the requirements to WED, Life, at least one Res, and Int, and then see what I get for sub-30 Chaos. Very well, I'll start there.

For the gloves, I assume I should search for the usual high life and at least dual res. And as you mentioned before, either attack speed or flat lightning damage.

As for the belt, you want me to find at least life and WED, with one res? I assume it's easier to just craft an extra resistance onto it. My belt's somewhat underwhelming, so I guess I'll search around for a better one.

The boots I have are actually similar to yours, subtract the tri-res. The evasion's somewhat low, though.

Most of the gear I purchase is always below market value, so I can always resell them for a premium (if it gets sold, of course).

If you were to look at my gear once more, which ones would you say are due for an upgrade (i.e. don't have reasonable rolls and could still be improved)?

My Gear

Helmet omitted since it's going to be a Rat's Nest, and gloves are still TBD.

Daimer already gave you good advice on what to focus on.

As far as what you said above, that's the gist of it. The key is to be flexible. If you search for just 1 res, you might find one with two. If you have craftable resistance slots on a one-res item, you can swap between the other two depending on what other gear you find.


I just picked up this quiver yesterday, which really freed up my Lightning resistance requirements.

Meaning I was able to swap Lightning for Cold on my chest. I was attempting to use Maligaro's by capping my resists and improving life without them in the glove spot.

That quiver is a good example of making a sacrifice on normal requirements. I was willing to give up the implicit crit chance of a Spike-Point for the huge elemental roll, Light resist, and higher life than my old quiver. If you're willing to be creative in your searches, you can find decent upgrades on a tighter budget.

WED is multiplicative and applies to all lightning damage added to your weapon. Added Lighting just stacks with everything else (Wrath, HoT, SE jewel, items, etc).

WED is likely more powerful, but if you have the item colored for ALD instead, the difference is probably not a deal-breaker.

Absolutley lovin this build! I guess it's also t15 viable, isn't it?
