PoE 3.28 - DAY#1 GAUNTLET SUMMARY + MINI GUIDE for the first Acts. // POEGUY's GAUNTLET SETUP

This is my RAPTURE GAUNTLET BUILD. This isn't your typical Explosive Arrow Ballista setup. I focus on direct hit damage (not damage over time) and multiple layers of defense. You have a mini video guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FriN3hsZ8D8 You can also see a full CAMPAIGN RUN (on Hardcore SSF) with this setup here. Everything was done LIVE on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2742074168 *In this PoB you have multiple Skill Tree progression Trees ( you need to switch them! ) --- Act 1-3 Stuff --- For Caustic Arrow and Toxic Rain we prioritize high physical damage ( look for high PHYS on the bow, Iron Rings, added Phys damage modifier etc. ) * Save Gold for gambling Bow/Quiver upgrades. For Brutus, use Puncture too ( adds a bleeding dot that deals significant extra damage ) For acts 1-3 (CA & TR Phase) you will want to use Decoy Totem a lot. The Gauntlet is no joke! For the movement skill in the early acts, feel free to use either Dash or Frostblink. Before engaging a tough boss, you should overlevel. Take your time! you don't want to rush the campaign during a gauntlet event. It's better to be safe than sorry! If you need Scroll of Wisdom. You can vendor Transmutation Orbs, Armour Scraps or Blacksmith Weighstones. --- BANDITS --- Help ALIRA ( gives extra 15% to Elemental Resistances ) --- Act 3-10 Stuff --- Around level 32 or so, you'll want to transition into the Explosive Arrow Ballista setup. Go to the Library, find Siosa, and complete his quest. You'll be able to buy all the necessary gems (check the "Skills" section of this POB). You can get a 4-link very easily by gambling an Armour and Evasion body armour base from a town vendor. Use Chromatic Orbs until you get 2 red and 2 green sockets. If you cannot get a 4-link, you can play with 2 red and 1 green (Drop Multiple Projectiles) until you find a 4-link. Next, go to The Docks area to level up the gems you just bought. Once the Explosive Arrow gem reaches level 2, you can continue with the campaign. --- !!!Avoid using a Penetrating Arrow Quiver since it grants pierce. This quiver is a very common drop during the campaign. You don't want any pierce effects! ( you will not do damage ) For rare items (during the Explosive Arrow Ballista phase), look for: Attack Speed, Increased Elemental Damage with Attacks, Increased Fire Damage Once you reach Act 6, you will want to add Grace aura to your setup! ( allocate the Revelry notable on the Skill Tree and take the "12% Increased Mana Reservation" Mastery ) --- LABS --- LAB#1 - safe to do towards the end ( or middle ) of Act 4 // Allocate "Fortitude" LAB#2 - Middle of Act 9 // Allocate "First to Strike, Last to Fall" LAB#3 - Somewhere in Yellow maps // Allocate "Unstoppable Hero" Remember that you have dedicated build support channels on my Discord (Server Invite Link: https://discord.gg/aQNz6Mv8YS )
