Kinetic Blast Elemental CI Crit Wanderer 2.6.0

INTRODUCTION

As the picture shows, this is A GUIDE to a Kinetic Blast (CI & Crit) Elemental Wander.
This guide is made by me, BUT I've taken all inspiration from "Mathil" or Mathilification.
All credits should go towards him, so please visit him on either:

and give him a big KISS & HUGE shout-out !

I can start of by saying that this is NOT a budget friendly build, at all, what so ever..

To gain the amount of Crit, ES and other stats we need for clearing all the end-game content, the gearing will be fairly expensive and sometimes even hard to obtain, but by all means, you can still clear most of the content that this game has to offer, while running on a 10-15ex budget.

As mentioned above, we will be going Crit & CI as a Ranger/Pathfinder.

OVERVIEW

Pros:

+ ** Clears ALL the Content, Like a Breeze **
+ ** Fast Map Clear AND Boss-Kills, INSANE DPS **
+ ** Visually & Audibly Satisfying **
+ ** Very Few Required Uniques **
+ ** Smooth & None-Clunky Gamestyle **
+ ** High Surviveability & Easy Flask-Management **

Cons:

- ** Can get Extremely Expensive **
- ** Hard to Obtain the Best Specific Stats On All Your Items **
- ** Mods That This Build Will or Might Struggle With:
Blood Magic, Reflect, No Leech, No Regen, -Max Res.


SKILL TREE

** Ranger / Pathfinder **

Passives/Skill Tree

Ascendancy Points: Nature's Adrenaline, Nature's Boon, Master Alchemist, Veteran Bowyer

Bandits: Passive - Attack Speed - Power Charge


SKILL TREE EXPLANATION

---

** Pick-up Druidic Rite, Primal Spirit, Alchemist for the flask effectiveness **
** Vaal Pact & Ghost Reaver is a MUST while Point Black is just Highly Recommended **
** Get atleast 3 Jewel Sockets & 1 or 2 +1 Power Charge nodes **
** Fill up rest with Crit, Lightning Dmg and ES Nodes **



JEWELS

---

** Get 1 Static Electricity and place it in the socket just LEFT of the Vaal Pact node **
** The Rest is rare and should prioritize Lightning Damage, Damage, Attack Speed, Projectile Damage, Crit Mult, Crit Chance and ES. There are more options but these are by far the most optimal **


GEAR

---

** As for items, the only required uniques you will "need" or is highly recommended that you use are:

Brinerot Whalers (Boots)
Eye of Chayula (Amulet) and/or Presence of Chayula (Amulet)

Flasks: Dying Sun, Vessel of Vinktar & The Wise Oak


GEAR EXPLANATION

---

You want the Eye/Presence of Chayula for the stun immunity, it's just mandatory for CI Builds.

The Boots gives us the perfect balance of a bit of Res, ES, MS and a HUGE DPS increase.

Gloves: Aim to get High ES, Accuracy, Attack Speed, Dex and Res if u cant fit that in.

Chest: Get as high ES as possible, then try fit in res, aim to get atleast 800+.

Helm: High ES, Int, fit in res, and if you are rich or lucky, get the +2 additional Barrage Projectiles. (40% increased damage to Barrage or Kinetic Blast is the second best option while 15% increased Barrage Attack Speed OR 12% Kinetic Blast Aoe is the third, atleast in my opinion)

Amulet:(IF not going with the unique option) Ele dmg with weap, accuracy, crit mult, ES flat or %, lightning dmg to attacks, phys dmg, fit in stats or res aswell. Many options available here.

Rings: Ele dmg, lightning dmg, phys dmg, fit in dex/int/res, maybe some mana leech, many options available here aswell.

Shield: High ES, fit in res, you will preferably be using a Titanium Spirit Shield here.

Belt: Preferably a Crystal Belt with ES, weap ele dmg, flask charges gained, flask effect and fit in res if needed.

Weapon: Phys dmg, Lightning dmg, spell dmg, attack speed and crit. This can get way out of hand in price if you want a top-tier wand.


LINKS AND GEMS

---

Main DPS Setup (6-Link)

Barrage -> Increased Critical Damage or Strikes -> Elemental Focus ->
Lightning Penetration -> Added Lightning Damage -> Weapon Elemental Damage

Second DPS Setup (4-Link)

Kinetic Blast -> Greater Multiple Projectiles -> Pierce -> Weapon Elemental Damage

Curse Setup

Curse on Hit -> Assassin's Mark -> Herald of Thunder -> Herald of Ice


Curse Setup2

Orb of Storms -> Power Charge on Critical Strike -> Increased Critical Strikes


Aura Setup

Disciplin -> Wrath -> LvL 3 Enlighten -> Vaal Haste -> Blood Rage

Would recommend that you run Dis, Wra, Enl, together, then VH & BL in the second setup.

Golem

Ice Golem for the Crit & Accuracy

Great write-up! What would be very useful is an actual leveling guide that covers transitioning from Life->CI -- none of the Wand builds have this (1-20, 21-50, 51-65, etc.). Also, recommendations on gear to use while leveling and when to switch to specific skills (e.g. use ST until 28, then switch to KB with Storm Prism Wands).

Hey, nice summary. I'm going to give this a try.

One question: What is the Spell Damage on the wand for? Aren't we using only attacks?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Reys,
The spell damage in this case isnt necessary at all.
Why we got spell damage on is because we want to use a "Imbued Wand", and that base has spell damage.
The reason for going with this specifik one is the APS (Attacks Per Second)
Imbued wands got 1.50 which is the highest among it piers, while still having good base DPS and 7% base crit, if you cant find any good Imbued, the second and third best is Prophecy and/or Opal wands.

If you have any other questions regarding this build or POE in general you can always contact me, posted the info furthest below in the guide. Good Luck !
