[3.0] Tempest's Binding KB Pathfinder | All 4 Guardians & Shaper in 12 Minutes | Fastest Mapper
Thanks for all the replies people. I'm gonna try and respond without this getting too long.
"
Bosses are hard with this build, clear speed is easy to get and cheap. What I recommend are 2x Inspired Jewels and an Esh's Mirror shield with vaal breach if possible. While the Vaal Breach isn't needed it's really helpful for sustained dmg.
By the way Vinktars adds 100k - 500k dps to your barrage depending on type and barrage setup.
6l isn't needed, especially if you buy vaal breach and burst(get a ton of esh's mirror/inspired learning stacks) the boss with it.
I did see the clip on "one-shotting" that t16 boss with the vaal breach gem so maybe I will try that out (but holy crap, it's expensive! so maybe not.. ). I was skeptical about the actual different that shield will make, but I will give it a try too. According to path of building, the attack damage vinktars I had brought my dps up like 50k for my barrage, but that's probably because I have it in that bad 6L setup in my helm. Isn't the problem of the rare mod buffs expiring before bosses also a thing /w inspired learning? I shy away from stuff like that as I tend to go a lot slower than most, and I don't mean intentionally slow clear speed (there is a reason I chose this build after all!), but resetting in town, etc., because my first flask and vaal skill dump isn't able to kill the bosses, etc.
None of your gems / items even match the build, are you sure you're not looking at a different guide? Also your armor is a 4L?
Your skill tree is completely different as well, I don't know, you did pretty much everything wrong here, go check the guide again
I've fiddled around with a lot of custom options, mostly going off this and the queenliness build, thinking that I was doing something wrong or that some small tweaks would be better until I got my gear up, but I guess it got kind of out of control. From the numbers I played around with, I didn't see a huge difference in trees, but I'll take your word on this as this is another area that I struggle with.
Yes, 4L at the moment in the armour as in trying to roll a 6L, I buy one with good stats, and if it his 5L, I can actually flip that for 45c or so, which is nice. Since all I have are some utility gems in that slot atm, I reasoned saving money or spending more on trying for the 6L would be a better usage of my limited currency.
Helm give's you fake 6l on boss fight. Because helm so usefull for KB, you should killed something and Ice bite and Innervate shall work. So for Barrage it's gives nothing.
At least you should try to do 5l, if u cant do it for yourself, you can try to farm some currency and buy The jewelers touch(5l prophesy). If gloves wich give you add lightning damage support spell, you puting another add lightning damage support gem for no reason, it's no work together.
If you dont had enough currency, or time to get it, you can put your barrage to gloves with Ele Focus, Ele dmg, Slower Proj/Add cold dmg. So it's will be 5l barrage and improve your damage as well.
And finaly, your tree sucks. You should respeck it for tree wich in build.
GL HF FURTHER!
Oh, I didn't put that together in my brain somehow. That's a good point, innervate and ice bite just become crappier versions of adding lightning and added cold for me at that point /w the elemental focus on bosses. That was however the very highest dps number I was able to see with barrage with my current options (which are the pseudo 6L helm, the pseudo 5L gloves, or a 5L body armour). I'm not following the double added lightning gem point here, would you mind kindly elaborating a bit? If I remember correctly, I did try barrage in my gloves and it was slightly worse damage than my current setup, but thunderfists are very cheap now so I may try this advice. Getting my kb back into my helm would be excellent.
Thanks a lot for the mostly very thoughtful replies everyone. I'm going to mull over these responses for the next day or so and I decide on what I want to do. It's sounding like I for sure need the 6L body, a vinktars, the vaal breach gem, and a few other decently pricey upgrades, of which I could maybe afford one, so though I love blowing shit up with this build and would absolutely love to have a decked out pf wander, I'm not sure this is gonna work for me in the end. I'm about 50/50 on it atm, but we shall see!
I'm currently playing a similar build with raider but struggling with bosses. Someone can give me advice to solve the single target problem?

Hello Arkhuza, How did you multicraft your opal ring with only 1 base mod ( the elem attack dmg with skil) listed in your finished gear section?.
I'm quite noob with multicraft.. So i wasted 2 EX for crafting my ring with also only 1 mod then use Elreon for multicraft it but i can't go further lol .
Please can you explain the process?
You have to roll WED then aug then regal and double anul orb and it will be a rare with 1 prop now you can multi mod the rare with 1 prop
Just to make sure: if you roll t1 WED with no suffix, DO NOT aug before you regal it.
Hey guys need some help, just bought the itens for this build yesterday and i follow the same type of gear and only getting half of the expected Dmg (22k kb) i'm currently at 13.5k KB DPS and 10.4k barrage and 4.5k avg VPS, btw my crit is very low like 30% with chargers go to 45%~ i don't know what i did so wrong to have that much less dmg
This is my current league starting character for Harbinger and it can farm all the endgame content relatively quickly and effectively. I wanted an all-rounder character this league and this one fits the bill pretty nicely I think.
This Kinetic Blast Pathfinder build is so disgustingly fast you can farm any T11-T16 map with relative ease, generating massive amounts of currency through the sheer speed and IIR/IIQ on the gear. It shreds through massively sextant T15 Shaped Courtyards with full sextants slapped on em with a single click of the mouse.
Gotta go fast, boys.
Update: Currently Level 100 + New Gem/Gear setup for Guardians & Shaper
If you're 98+ and want to see my tree, just click on my profile, I changed around some points and got an extra jewel slot and stuff, if you're not level 99 or 100, I don't recommend changing the tree around to match my current one
This is the original version that came before CuteDog and Zizaran's versions of the build, since they are streamers - obviously the cost of the gear has gone up.

Spoiler
The rolls on these arevery important because you're a Pathfinder.
Jewels:
Spoiler
* A %Life/Damage/IAS/Crit Multi Jewel
or
Sacrificial Harvest -> VPS Setup to get 30% chance to generate a soul
* Conqueror's Potency -> to get the extra +1 Projectile from Dying Sun flask effect which increases your DPS by a lot
or
Chill of Corruption -> 50% chance to generate a soul when you shatter an enemy, you HAVE to replace Conqueror's Potency to go full map mode setup because the +1 Projectile messes up VPS targeting!
* Inspired Learning x2 -> We get two of these for stealing two mods from rares for a Headhunter effect
Pros and Cons:
Spoiler
Pros:
* Insanely fast clear speed
* High IIQ/IIR give you good returns on time spent mapping
* Leveling/budget wander gear is incredibly cheap until you get key pieces and still functions
* T16 Guardian + All Maps viable
Cons:
* Endgame gear is insanely expensive (think hundreds of exalts)
* Leveling is incredibly difficult without currency
* Can be squishy if you face tank the wrong thing. 9K ES CI Wander PF don't exist anymore, so don't play this like one.

Shaper Strategy / Hard T16 Guardian Map Mods / "Help I don't do any single target damage"
Spoiler
This enables you to steal buffs from the Elites, stack your Esh's Mirror damage up through the roof, as well as generating 5 frenzy charges and 3 power charges from Herald explosions which also splash to the boss, enables Vaal Power Siphon chain-heralding also.
This usually isn't needed (so I didn't show it in the video, I wanted to keep it clean and natural) but if you really want to just one-shot a T16 Guardian, this is how.
Also, you can swap out VPS in your gloves for this setup:

Farm some shaper sets really easily
Rare Wand vs Piscator
Spoiler
An insane 50-80 Exalted Rare Imbued wand only offers a very small damage increase compared to a high rolled Culling Piscator that you can get for 7 Ex, even by wasting a point in Tempest Blast in the skill tree. Theoretically it would do about 17% more damage if you got WED instead of Flat lightning damage on both rings.
Even this wand still does not compare to the damage you can output by combining the synergy of Piscator + Esh's Mirror, even against Guardians (since we use Vaal Breach), 10+ stacks of Esh's Mirror will get multiplied by the 115% bonus damage on Piscator and instantly out-DPS any mirror-worthy wand by tenfold.
The way the build works is by generating power and frenzy charges through the new insane Harbinger league helm, The Tempest's Binding, which effectively gives your Kinetic Blast a 6L with no drawback.
Innervate gives you a huge damage boost, working similarly to Esh's Mirror, and also in conjunction to it as we're using it in the build too. The Ice Bite generates both frenzy and power charges through Herald of Ice's CoH + Assassin's Mark setup, as well as autobombing the entire screen with one click.
You can opt out of using Bisco's Collar for a good rare amulet, but I'd recommend using it as it the cost of the final build ramps up quite heavily, and Bisco's definitely helps out.
Thunderfists adds a lot of raw power and damage, which in turn result in more survivability with Vinktars, Leech passives, and Vaal Pact.
Esh's Mirror, same thing, and you can stack it in the boss room with Vaal Breach.
Atziri's Step is just a good defensive boot. I didn't need resist there but you can use a rare if you want in this slot. It's up to you.
Piscator is better than a 5 Ex wand and you can get them for like 5 chaos.
i feel i have decent gear and only have like 15k dps on tool tip ????
finally got there. Got HH today. I have a swap for more damage, but this provides enough (even without HH) to handle everything in the game. I've yet to try guardians and shaper, but I'm not too concerned. Yes, i have vaal breach, much needed to kill bosses.
