Path Of Exile Reaper Revenants ARMY... Clear Maven & Juiced T17's! Endgame Build Guide!

The conditions for creating this guide were: 1. Simulate a league start with minimal crafts 2. Record changes at the end of acts, if changes were made. 3. While levelling, try not to stop and fight. Use quicksilver flask(s) and map frostblink to your right mouse button and hold it down. Alternately, you can link the spell gem to automation, but that may have unintended consequences. The minion(s) will follow you and continue to kill things so just drop holy flame totem as you run. 4. In Acts 1-3, body armor is limited to 4 sockets. Hands, Boots and Head are limited to 3 sockets. 5. In Acts 1-3, try to get a couple linked gems right away on any gear and work toward building out the gear with sockets/4 links over time. Acts 3 and 4 will provide the majority of strong gems, so just focus on clearing acts 1-3 and levelling. 6. In Act 9, the auras are brought online for additional damage and tankiness by adding the mana reserve nodes. 7. In Act 10, the skill points are updated to support the endgame build. As the player levels and gains more skill points during mapping, additional jewels can be added for more damage, reservation efficiency, tankiness, etc. For bandits, there are two great options: * Killing all bandits grants 1 passive point. * Killing Alira grants +15% to all elemental resistances; This option can be used to remove some concern about resistance balancing until Act 10. * To change your bandit choice at endgame, the vendor recipe will cost a specific amulet and 20 orbs of regret.

Alternative levelling options would include to either remain using Summon Skeletons or obtain the Summon Reaper of Revenants gem. While levelling, there is no requirement to run all auras. Turn on the auras that you feel are needed most, while trying to avoid exceeding your build's mana requirements. Keep watch for boots with movement speed. These boots are extremely valuable to reduce levelling times. Elemental resistance balancing is significantly more relaxed with this build, due to the skill tree choices, the ascendency node and/or helping Alira. Prior to going to Act 10, review your gear and try to cap your resistances with the pending -30% debuff. This step can be useful for a seamless transition into mapping. FAQ: 1. How do I improve my dps after the campaign? 1. Level your character 2. Level your gems and quality the gems to 20, as needed. a. Ensure the Pride gem is being used and levelled. It is a substantial source of the overall dps. b. Ensure the Summon Reaper of Revenants is levelled to 20+. 3. Obtain the Dark Monarch helmet at 84 to double your reaper count. Remember, pob shows the dps of one reaper. 4. If you cannot afford a 6-link Queen's Hunger, which can cost 1-2 div, consider using a Tabula Rasa or a rare 5-link chest for more survivability. 2. What are the primary sources of damage? The weapon, shield, helmet (at level 84), amulet, gems and the reaper count. Most of the endgame build is designed to improve survivability for the player and the minions. 3. Are awakened gems required for this build? No, but they add about 3-4% damage boost to each gem's output when you can afford them. Assembing the starter set (budget friendly): Total Cost: 14c Required (14c) 0.
