Is This Ritualist Build Better than Lightning Arrow? | PoE2 Final Build Guide

Build Notes & Guide Key Things to Remember Almost everything in the setup stays the same except TWO swaps for Pinnacle bosses: Swap Rare Boots ??? Powertread (check both in Equipment). Swap Hand of Chayula ??? one setup for Mapping, one for Pinnacle Bosses. Playstyle #Mapping 1.Start with Tempest Flurry to clear some packs and generate some combo. benefit: nil, only to collect combo, hence the skill gem is only level 5, this can save your insurficient mana issue. 2.Use Hand of Chayula to teleport into mobs. 3.This will trigger Sinper's Mark and Temporal Chains to the target and grant you power charges on hit and grant you a frenzy charge on killed. 4.Use Staggering Palm once or twice to gather projectile buff and endurance charges, why use twice? Because I am lazy to keep track of the golden icon to obtain buff, just hit twice to kill a mob and you will get the buff. benefit: endurance charge, fast clear of mobs, stun, maim, blind. 5.Use Charged Staff occasionally when you have power charges, keep an eye on the buff timer, 7 charges will have more than a min's buff, benefit: added lightning damage, gain innvervate on kill, 25% more damage as lightning 6.Use Mantra of Destruction, then Falling Thunder to big packs, try to obtain 10 stacks of purple flame of chayula, benefit: 70% more damage as chaos Why we need 3 type of charges? Because we are using Charge Regulation, it will comsume all 3 types of charges to gain more skill speed, more critical chance, more energy shield and evasion ratings. #Pinnacle Bosses Start with Tempest Flurry to build combo. Dodge to avoid one-shot mechanics and generate Power Charges. Build around 30???100 combos depending on how much overkill you want. Teleport with Hand of Chayula ??? triggers Sniper???s Mark + Elemental Weakness. Cast Mantra of Destruction, then finish with Falling Thunder. Q&A Q: Why no Physical Damage Leech as Mana? How do you sustain? As a Ritualist, rings + amulet provide big bonus stats. Instead of leech, we use X Mana Gained on Kill. With ascendancy scaling, 25???30 is enough to instantly refill during mapping. For Pinnacle bosses, mana isn???t a problem because Tempest Flurry is only level 5 and Falling Thunder is only cast once to finish. Q: Why does your Energy Shield recharge so quickly? See full explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7T_LKKVua8 Q: Is ES/Evasion hybrid body armour better? Possible, but requires very heavy investment. Current defense is already very strong. Not worth the cost unless you???re going for extreme min-maxing. Q: Why not Monk instead? In late game, Ritualist scales much higher. All 4 ascendancy nodes directly boost equipment. Examples: Infinite Charm ??? immune to freeze, slow, ignite, stun, etc. 3 Rings + Amulet ??? huge stat boost scaling. Monk peaks in mid-game but becomes extremely costly to push further. Ritualist offers the best ceiling for true endgame scaling.
