[3.13] KINETIC BLAST WANDER DEADEYE (MF too!) (2021 Edition) Build > UBER ELDER down!
|
Kinetic Blast has been nerfed twice. First time in 3.4 when it got less area
damage and explosions were changed to prevent shotgunning near walls. And then in 3.7 when abyssal jewels were all lowered down by at least 30%. So what's the state of KB Wanders now? I must say i devled quite deep into the build to answer the question. And the short answer is: still viable. Still doing the job. Still expensive. Still needs barrage for Uber Elder. Still ridiculous aoe which one shots everything offscreen, still insanely fun! The goal of the build was to create a TANKY, HIGH dps character capable to do ALL content, and not just silly currency farming. The basic goal was to achieve at least 1 million shaper dps on KB, but eventually i surpassed it and now sitting on 2 millions KB dps as well as almost 5 million for Barrage.  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ With over 40+ active builds it is becoming hard to keep up with replies and comments, so make sure you follow me on discord, twitter and more importantly = twitch to ask for anything! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➤ All here: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► TWITCH: https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► PATREON to be real BRUH: https://www.patreon.com/angryroleplayer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/angryroleplayer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► TWITTER to keep notified on shit: https://twitter.com/RoleplayerAngry ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► DISCORD to chat offline: !discord on stream ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ VIDEO BUILD/GUIDE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RQZQ0X4fvw V 1.4 UPDATE (16/01/2021) -POB updated for 3.13 V 1.3 UPDATE (01/07/2020) -POB updated for 3.11 V 1.2 UPDATE (12/03/2020) -POB updated for 3.10 -Kinetic Bolt is potentially BETTER than Kinetic Blast, but time will tell!

Most of the time you run around throwing Kinetic Blasts and it does the job. For super tough bosses you will be using a 6L Barrage in a separate chest to effectively WIPE THEM OUT IN SECONDS. ====================================================================================== 1) PROS
Spoiler
+extremely large AOE and fantastic clear speed, far beyond Tornado Shot and everything else combined +Plenty of DPS. Does not really need Barrage except for Uber Elder (i killed Shaper and all shaper/elder guardians with KB) +cheaper than Physical Wanders +can switch to MF in a blink of an eye ====================================================================================== 2) CONS
Spoiler
-Expensive to min-max (my investment was around 50 EX) -Needs 188-212 int (achieved through the tree progression though as you level up) -squishy, super hard to reach 6k life. Mostly dodge and Warlord's Mark to survive. -you will be playing Ice Shot/Lightning Arrow/Tornado Shot till 80+ before your KB gains enough strength 3) Skill Tree Progression / Path of Building / Ascendancy / Bandits
Spoiler
Path of building:
Basic Tree https://pastebin.com/kCBFPquA IF YOU GET AN ERROR WHILE IMPORTING OR ANY OTHE ERRORS, IT MEANS YOUR POB IS OUTDATED ORIGINAL VERSION THAT IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED. YOU NEED A "COMMUNITY FORK" ONE TO MAKE IT WORK: https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding For Ascendancy: Gathering Winds, Ricochet, Endless Munitions, Focal Point Bandits: Kill All / Alira ====================================================================================== 4) Early Levelling Gear / Skills
Spoiler
Get a 6L Silverbranch if possible. You can later upgrade it to Silverbough at level 36. https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Silverbranch Lioneye's Glare 6L is also 1 ex, so this will be your end-game bow for a while. If you have Windripper you can use it too. Hyrri's Bite can be also upgrdaded to Demise at level 45: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Hyrri%27s_Demise You will be playing with Bow skill for a while, before your KB gains strength. Take Ice Shot and use it in this combo: Ice Shot - Pierce - Volley support Puncture and Burning Arrow are also great for single target Switch to Lightning Arrow later. Take Precision Assuming Tabula: 6L Lightning Arrow - Added Cold - Added Lightning - Pierce - Mirage Archer - Ele.damage with attacks. Add Herald of Ice and Thunder when available. Add Barrage when it's available (lvl.12): 6L Barrage - Added Cold - Ele damage with attacks - Vicious projectiles - Elemental focus (need to get it from another character or buy) - Volley At level 31 get Cold Penetration and switch Volley to Slower.Projectiles ====================================================================================== 5) My Actual Gear / End-Game Skills
Spoiler

Spoiler
Major: Arakaali Minor: Ryslatha ====================================================================================== 8) Hardcore Viable or not?

Spoiler
You can indeed. Check Path of Building for skill gem setups! There are 3 options here: 1) Shaper lvl.83+ Gripped Gloves with Slower Projectiles 2) Thunderfist https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Thunderfist 3) Shaper lvl.80+ Helm with Hypothermia (make sure you don't use Elemental Focus with Hypothermia!) 2) What is better, Physical or Ele Wanders?
Spoiler
Ele Wanders are cheaper and more flexible (you can use 1c weapon), while Physical are way more expensive, but do more damage. 4) Why do you have 2 path of building links? What's the difference?
Spoiler
The first one is what most Wanders use. It's pretty standard and generic. The second is an alternative variant and is more about stacking abyssal jewels and using Unnatural Instinct. It gives more toughness and slighly less damage, also more problematical to gain Intelligence. I had to go this route to use my Timeless jewel with 240% increased projectile damage and 80% crit chance. 5) I die all the time!
Spoiler
Level up, stack life jewels, use Warlord's Mark. I would consider this build a squishy one, but not SO SQUISHY. I delved just fine ibto 300+ and farmed endless T16 maps without dying
6) How i can craft the most insane Ele Wand?
Spoiler
1) Get a level 85 Shaper Imbued Wand 2) Throw Deafening Essence of Warth till you see 20% Elemental Damage as Extra Chaos Damage (or something very useful like 40% ele damage) + Lightning Roll 3) Multimod the rest https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer All builds: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/path-of-exile-builds/ https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2143469 Last edited by Angry_Roleplayer#6657 on Jan 18, 2021, 5:09:58 AM Last bumped on Feb 11, 2021, 3:32:56 AM

just wanted to stop by and say I appreciate all the work you put into these builds/guides.
Wander has always been my favorite build, but the nerfs scared me out of making one this league. Think Ill follow your guide and make one. Gonna level with RoA though with the sexy celestial mtx. Once again thanks. |

" You are welcome! KB is probably my favourite mapping skill right now. It just blows everything by a mile. Also really cool for monoliths. https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer

3.8 Is Build Available? STart

" As a starter yes and no, Wanders are usually pretty expensive builds and require a certain amount of investment to become good. But since you will be playing Lightning Arrow for a while it is possible to league start indeed https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer

Glad to see there's an old skill getting new life. sadly the first thing I though when I saw this new thread was "can trickster use this"?
No, bad. *whacks self with rolled-up newspaper* Mustn't think that way. I hope TS will not become the final resting place of the leveling wander as a result of players "giving up" on getting their KB Katyusha fully online. It looks well worth the extra effort to get there, and my mate already has the tools for this (he's been playing OoS Trickster and has the god wand with the +phys as chaos).

" Trickster is possible but will not give as much QoL as Deadeye indeed. I've seen people using Tricksters successfully though https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer
