INTRODUCTION

The build I'm using focuses primarily on staying alive, like any hardcore build should. Losing a hardcore character sucks. Some people find thrill in dying or having close calls on hardcore, but I prefer the thrill of being safe, staying alive, and not wasting time. So this build sets out to do that. The build does so by stacking very high energy shield, picking up Chaos Inoculation, staying at range from tough enemies, and freeze-locking foes into submission. But before getting the "how", let me go into the "why" (scroll down if you don't care why).

Why are you writing this?

One of two things is going to happen when I post this:

a.) Someone will find it useful. - Great! This is what I'm hoping for.

b.) Someone will tell me it sucks (and why it sucks). - Great! I can take that into consideration and change course if necessary.

Why a witch?

I like ranged, mage-type characters. Personally, I think they're more fun to play but they also have serious advantages in the realm of survivability: Most importantly, mage classes tend to be good at staying and getting out of harm's way. Being a ranged class, there's no reason to ever get surrounded. It's also easy for us to get away from enemies via tricks like freezing them or blocking their path with a frost wall.

Why a frost witch?

Freezing! Duh. Elites are trivial when we can just freeze-lock them into submission. If you start attacking a single target at range using Ice Spear, it's pretty unlikely that they'll be able to do anything in the least bit threatening before dying. Chilling enemies is useful for survivability too. Our other choices would be fire, lightning, summoner, and physical. The only one of these that I personally might consider using for hardcore would be physical, but I haven't tried it yet and I'm not going to go into that right now (It's largely a matter of preference anyways.).

Why Chaos Inoculation?

As a caster and intellect user, we're going to gravitate towards items with energy shield. We're going to end up with a very large energy shield, and a relatively small amount of life. Thus we'll have a gaping weakness: chaos damage. We can eliminate this weakness. Being immune to poison, life degeneration, and other forms of chaos damage is incredibly useful. This decision became a bit questionable since open beta, but at level 50 or so, I think it's still worth-while.

OVERVIEW

Our bread-and-butter skills will be Freezing Pulse and Ice Spear. We'll be gearing for straight energy shield. In most cases, if a piece has more energy shield than what you're using, you should equip it. There are exceptions when you get to the point where you really have to optimize your sockets, but until at least level 31, you should have more than enough sockets to use everything you get. We'll be passive-skilling for straight energy shield (surprise!). Somewhere around level 50 or so we'll be picking up the game-changing Chaos Inoculation skill. I'm gonna write the next few sections of this guide in a sort of walk-through format since many aspects of the frost witch's strategy change from difficulty to difficulty.

NORMAL DIFFICULTY

Gear

Of course, when you're first washed ashore you'll want to equip any gear you can find. When you get to the point where you have to make choices in gear, gear for the highest energy shield. Keep an eye out for a good wand. The wand damage doesn't affect your dps, so a good wand has multiple high increased spell damage modifiers. Since these are percentage based, you don't ever really outgrow them. Find a wand with high spell damage modifiers and three linked sockets, and you'll probably be using that for a very long time. Also, look out for good amulets and rings: Like wands, you can find amulets at early levels that you'll use for a very long time. Use either amulets with high mana regeneration or an well-rolled dexterity or all stats amulet (so you can meet the requirements for the support gems you'll get). You can find increased energy shield percentage stats on amulets too which is a big plus. For rings, you'll want to pocket the best resistance rings of each type that you can find, as well as the biggest life ring(s) you can find. You'll likely want to swap these in and out depending on the upcoming battles / areas. For areas with high chaos damage, I like to use life rings, but for other areas I typically use two resistance rings to keep everything capped at 75%.

You'll need to find something with 3 links: 2 green, 1 blue for Freezing Pulse by the time you get Faster Projectiles and Lesser Multiple Projectiles.

I don't really recommend using any currency items other than armourer's scraps and transmutation orbs on gear at this level unless it's on an amulet, ring, or wand.

Transmute any plain quicksilver flasks you find. If they're good you'll never replace them. If you have glassblower's baubles, this is a good place to use them before transmuting them. I use two right now:

As far as prefixes go, "surgeon's" and "ample" are awesome since they improve the odds that your charges will be there when you need them. For suffixes, I consider an "adrenaline" flask to be a must-have, and "heat" flasks can be lifesavers when you get frozen at a bad time (At least take one to Tidal Island.).

Skills

Pick up Raise Zombie for your first skill. Whenever you're feeling uncomfortable or lonely just whip them out. It's the next best thing to playing with friends.

Use Fireball or your default attack until you get your second skill: Freezing Pulse. It's a close-range conal attack. Be careful. Hover over everything so you know what you're getting in melee range of. Be especially wary of mobs with multiple projectiles. When you're in melee range of them you'll get hit three times per volley and drop fast.

The third skill you'll get is Ice Spear. It's a ranged ability with two forms: The first form pierces enemies. After about 10 yards or so, it'll turn into the second form. The second form doesn't pierce enemies but has 600% increased critical strike chance. That means before taking anything else into account, it'll have a 49% chance to crit, which means it'll freeze enemies very often.

For your fourth skill, pick up Clarity. With Clarity up, you should find your need for mana flasks dramatically decreases (or disappears entirely).

For your support gem, Adding Lightning Damage and Fork are both completely useless for you. Minion Life is somewhat useful, but what you really want to do here if possible is trade Fork for someone else's Faster Projectiles. If you can't trade for Faster Projectiles, you should buy one and use it with Freezing Pulse. It'll increase your range and damage significantly.

For your next skill, pick up Raise Spectre. Keep him around in the tougher areas. Raising ranged enemies tends to work better.

For your second support gem, you want to trade someone for Lesser Multiple Projectiles if possible. Otherwise get Increased Critical Damage for Ice Spear. If you didn't trade for it, buy Lesser Multiple Projectiles, and put it on Freezing Pulse (I bought one for 2 alchs, but you can probably find cheaper.). Note that you'll need something with 3 links: 2 green, 1 blue.

Pick up Frostbite when you're offered it and keep it up on anything that doesn't already die in 1-2 hits.

For the last reward of the difficulty, go with either Minion Damage or Cold Penetration. Minion Damage is kind of all-around marginally good, but Cold Penetration can be really helpful for things like Merveil. Odds are by now you've seen one of them drop, so you can just pick up the other.

Passives

The first thing we want to do is pick up our energy shield buffs on the right side. Then we're gonna make our way to the energy shield nodes in the middle, on the templar side. Before we get to the chaos damage mobs we'll also want to pick up that Chaos Resistance node. We're aiming for something like this:

Skill Tree

Pick up and drop those resistance nodes as needed using your quest reward respec points.

Once you cross the river in act 3, you can drop the Chaos Resistance node to get more energy shield.

Tips

Around level 13 or so, there's a cave in the ship graveyard that's full of mobs that use flicker strike (we call this "Flicker Strike Cave"). Pull them slowly and carefully. If you accidentally bite off more than you can chew, there's no hope of escaping them.

Take the extra resistance from the bandit tribes.

The most challenging part of normal difficulty comes when you get to the areas with mobs that deal chaos damage. When you get to the forest encampment be sure to do all of the quests on the right side first, so that when you first contact the chaos mobs (which are in the areas to the left side of the encampment), you'll out-gear them a bit. At that point (or at least before the Vaal caves), equip some life gear (e.g. coral rings), and proceed with extreme caution.

I recommend doing Vaal Oversoul with another player. The constructs can be dangerous and it's much easier to let a life-based class take care of them since we don't have Chaos Inoculation yet.

Path of Exile Summoner Templar Build

Path of Exile Summoner Templar Build by Prozon

So after much demand i decided ill post a small guide to my build here.

This build is mostly based around me wanting to be a "BattleMage" Using chainmail items and 1h scepter+shield, also possibly a staff. It might not be the most effective build out there in terms of farming maps at a high speed. but it does have pretty good Survivability for hardcore and solo play.

I start out with ice nova for good aoe dmg and ice spear for single target in normal for act 1 and 2, once i get to act 3 Freezing Pulse with LMP is needed, later on i like to get GMP, but LMP works too so this is abit up to every player what they want to use.

Once i get to cruel i will get a spell totem and use my ice spear with LMP and Faster Casting. You should start lvling zombies right away but they are kinda useless until lvl 50-60

This build kills bosses very slowly early game, but around lvl 40-50 the build starts getting fairly strong and you shouldnt have much problems running through merciless.

My skilltree at lvl 24 right before i kill vaal in normal:

Skill Tree

Skilltree at lvl 45ish:

Skill Tree

After lvl 45 zombies might be strong enough to be worth investing points in, atleast if you have a +1 to minion gems helm.

Skilltree at lvl 60ish:

Skill Tree

My current skilltree how it stands now at lvl 82:

Skill Tree

How i want my build to be eventually:

Skill Tree

As you can see for very late end-game i wanna get ghost reaver and just use flasks for life. Once i get good items i will easily be able to have 5k life and 2-4k ES, but keep in mind i have a 6linked chest, so using the life leech gem might not be a viable option for everyone. I did play about the same build as this in Closed Beta with a 5link and didnt have ghost reaver and it still works fine. I just wanna try it out later on, it might not be a good option so will get back to that once i have tryed it.

As you can see im using mostly armor/ES items with a few exceptions, i plan on switching to a Armor/ES shield. But my current armor shield is really good so not gonna swap it until i find a good replacement. Same goes for my boots.

The main focus atm from my items is just HP, eventually i will focus abit on ES aswell once i start using ghost reaver. On weapon you want mostly spelldmg and cast speed, spell critt, Projectile speed comes in handy but its not needed.

If you have a 5linked or higher freezing pulse your gonna need a few items with Mana Regen aswell. at the moment i am struggling abit with mana regen, mostly due to my 6link though. It might be a good idea to take Eldrich Battery at around lvl 60-70 since your ES will be pretty low anyways until you get high level and some good items.

For flasks i use 2 seething flasks (instant heal) 1 hybrid flask since my mana regen is abit low, 1 granite and 1 quicksilver.

Hope i didn't leave anything important out, feel free to ask questions here and ill try to answer them. Also accepting feedback as there is probably room for some improvements somewhere :)

Should be fairly easy to stay alive on Hardcore with this build if you get past lvl 60. Just dont run recklessly into stupid situations like this one

Path of Exile Beginner's Bow Ranger Build

Path of Exile Bow Ranger Beginner's Build by Luve

ello there ;)
So maybe you're new to this and in the same Situation that i was in: Ive browsed this forum in order to find a build i like for my ranger. There are builds that are physical heavy which is appealing at first but apparently elemental damage is considered stronger - than i looked those up and most suggested that i invest many +str notes to move into templars territory.
In short: I didnt like what i found. Actually i didnt want to specialize in anything but instead be good at everything :F Also theres no gear to start with and so i didnt need something super special.

made a list of things i want:
fast movement & fast attacks (because slow bowyers are boring), lots of crits (fuck yeah, CRITS! D:), lightning and cold damage (be freezed and be shocked!) while having decent survivability.

o achieve that i isolated the talenttree on the rangers part with Ice Bite and Arcing Blow as keystones. Within this area i was after major notes that increased overall damage instead of only partial. Then defensive major notes that relied on evasion + lifegain. I made up a rule that every branch must end in an important major note or i wouldnt start it + as little +10 stat notes as possible had to be wasted. Maximum frenzy Charges & maximum Critical Strike Chance were also conditions. This was the result:

(75 of 111 points used)

Skill Tree

inally i made up a plan in what order to spec into this. Since i started in hardcore and damage doesnt seem to matter to much at the beginning the part next to the duelist starting area is most appealing. Also Ice Bite lays here which comes handy early on. This basic build can be completed in normal.

(40 of 111 points used)

Skill Tree

lso a theoretical high level build for a kind of "final goal" where i dropped the rule that every branch has to end in a major note. Also crit multiplier is more appealing here since at that point id hat quite a bit of crit chance.

(98 of 111 points used)

Skill Tree

hat skills to use?

for normal mode:
Attack, Frenzy (later on), Ice Shot (for 2+ targets), Wrath

for cruel mode:
Frenzy, Wrath, Split Arrow (pierce gem is a must), Blood Rage, Projectile Weakness

later on (not there yet, can only guess):
Elemental Hit (frenzy stacks sustained by blood rage),
Wrath, Split Arrow (pierce gem is a must), Blood Rage, Projectile Weakness, Temporal Chains

ear
This build doesnt need very specialized equipment, nor very good items in general. As a basic ruleset there are a few things you might look for tho:
- your bow should be atleas 1.3 fast
- your bow should have +% physical damage (for higher leeches)
- your bow should have lighting or cold damage (both if possibru ^^)
- line up pierce gem with Split Arrow
- +%elemental damage, +critchance / multiplier, +lightning/cold damage, +life/mana leech, +attack speed, +movement speed are stats you might watch out for
- +life is always welcome, especially when you took up the +life notes
- +%manaregen is a nice thing at start.

trennlinie

ideo of level 46 playing in cruel act2 (43). Note that these mobs are easy and i totally made this video for "ok that works" purpose on your side. i'm currently level 50 and in late act3 with no problems whatsoever, tho im farming gear alot because mine is extremly bad.

Spoiler

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZFWHkbatvg&feature=youtu.be

he playstyle in a nutshell:
Youll end up having 6 max frenzy charges in cruel and 7 in merciless with a duration of 14 seconds. Your goal is to always keep them running, either by attacking with Frenzy atleast once every 14s even while aoe'ing - or by activating Blood Rage (like i did a few times in the video.. youll love blood rage when things die fast). The Damage is a wild mixture of Physical, Lightning and Frost. Since the critical strike chance is pretty high, the status ailments chilled and shocked will be applied often (read up on that here). A fast attack speed without frenzy is important too, since youll build up charges very fast that way. Champions & Bosses should be dealt with by using Projectile Weakness and Temporal Chains. Projectile Weakness also comes handy if you want to kill a summoner/totem that is behind mobs (since it increases Pierce).

As a general look i must say +run speed as a ranger is often overlooked. im using boots with very clumsy stats just for the +25% speed that happened to be on them. think of this stat as both defense and offense.. youll end up kiting many things atleast for short distances or round enemys up for better aoe positions. there is no better protection than running away from danger - and your shots can kill those baddies even offscreen with shift+click if you know where you left them. use your feet ranger! ;D

Zealot's Oath:
The Bread and Butter of this build.
Life Regen applies to Energy Shield instead.
If we got 10000 Energy Shield with 10% Life Regen / Sec we will get 1000 Energy Shield per Second.

I took this skill because its way easier to get a huge amount of energy shield then to get a hgue amount of life ( normal amount of life at around level 70-80 is 2.5k to 3k ).

Life Regen:
Passives: 2.5%
Endurance Charges: 0.2 * 6 = 1.2%
Vitality: 1.4% * 30% = 1.82%
Ambu's Charge: 2%

TOTAL: 7.5% Energy Shield per Second

Elemental Equilibrium:

Enemies hit by your attacks gain +25% resists to the elements hit with and -50% resists to other elemental you DID NOT hit with.

We will be hitting with:
Totem - Cold Damage
Tempest Shield - Lightning Damage
Molten Shell - Fire Damage
Infernal Blow - Fire Damage

This means that when your totem hits an enemy, they will get -50% fire and lightning resists and +25% cold resists untill you hit with Infernal blow, which will give your enemies -50% cold and lightning resists and +25% fire resists.

Try to get same attack speed as your totem, this way you will never hit an enemy twice in a row with the same element.

Inner Force:

We will be getting +30% increased effect of buffs:

All Auras
Blood Rage
Tempest Shield block buff
Molten Shell armour buff
The three Resistance flasks
Chaos Flask
Granite Flask

This means Discipline will give 30% more ES for example.

Gear you are looking for:

A GOOD Shield ( most important )
75% Chaos Resists is needed
High Physical Damage 1H mace
High Armor/ES Gear
IAS / Physical Damage Rings
Attack Speed Gloves
High Flask Mods Belt
