Bleed Bow Slayer [Path of Exile 3.25 ready]

!!!During Levelling, only transition to Perfect Agony once you get the following ALL AT ONCE (didn't do proper testing on this, it's just what I went through)!!! 1 - Ungil's Harmony (preferrably catalysted for crit) 2 - Fully specced Cornered Prey cluster (bleed cluster near Point Blank) 3 - Fully specced atleast one other crit cluster (Lethality / King of the Hill) 4 - Using high base crit bow. !!!LEAVE ONLY 1 RUPTURE ON SKILL IN POB TICKED, POB SOMEHOW CALCULATES EACH SKILL AS CAPABLE OF INFLICTING SEPARATE RUPTURE NOW WHICH IS INACCURATE!!! Pros & Cons: Pros + Excellent clearing speed (Corpse explosion) + Snipe playstyle (kiting & offscreening) + Great DPS + Very tanky Cons - Unique dependent - Channelling (standing still) can get you killed, hence tankiness is a necessity - Playstyle needs abit of getting used to - Slightly more difficult to scale than traditional bleed bow builds (non-linear experience before getting Perfect Agony) Offensive layers: 1. Snipe + Tornado Shot of Cloudburst + Pierce Traditionaly bleed bow is played with Puncture for single target. Problem with that is landing a fully charged Puncture can be difficult, which will nosedive your average bleed rolls to rock bottom if you miss even once. Tornado Shot of Cloudburst is easy to land, hence bleed roll is way more reliable. It also has good coverage, which is in a group of bosses / tankier mobs is much better QOL vs Puncture. 2. Frenzy Charge + Affliction Charge stacking (automated via manaforged) Made possible with Ralakesh's Boots + Olesya's Delight to gain benefit of both, HUGE DPS boost 3. Perfect Agony & Crit ailment build Perfect Agony changes so that your DOT multi for ailment is based on your attack crit multi. Applies Rupture & Aggravate which gives more damage. Rupture is a separate debuff that can be applied separately than the bleed from main skill, aggravate accelerate the bleed already applied (also can be applied separately) Defensive layers: 1. Armor + Spell Suppression + Stun Immunity + Elemental ailment immunity Armor conversion from Evasion via Iron Reflex keystone %Evasion from tree Flat evasion/armor from gear, Grace, Molten Shell, flasks. Spell Suppression from body armor, helmet & skill tree. Stun Immunity Unwavering Stance keystone Elemental ailment immunity from Purity of Elements 2. Life Regen + Life Overleech + High flasks uptime Life regen tree & Summon Holy Relic, life overleech from ascendancy tree (helped by tattoos), flasks uptime due to tree + crit build + Watcher's eye gain charge on crit under Precision 3. Endurance charge stacking Slayer's Masterful Form makes it so that max endurance charge is based on max frenzy, paired together with Ralakesh gives huge benefit of Endurance charge with 100% uptime. Mastery, Ascendancy, Bandits & Pantheon Important Mastery : 1. Bleed mastery (80% crit chance to bleeding enemies) 2. Mana mastery (reservation efficiency) 3. Perfect Agony Keystone (ailment scaling via crit) 4. Iron Reflex Keystone (evasion to armor conversion) 5. Unwavering Stance Keystone (Stun immunity) Ascendancy : 1. Brutal Fervour (Leech + Overleech) 2. Bane of Legends (Damage on uniques) 3. Masterful Form (Charge stacking) !!!Usually Ralakesh + Olesya is available around this stage!!! 4. Headsman (Culling + speed) Bandits : Kill all (1 points) Pantheon : Soul of Arakaali (Reduced DOT + Chaos Res against DOT) / Lunaris if chaos res capped Soul of Ryslatha for life flask Gem setup: Main Skill (Snipe + Tornado Shot of Cloudburst): Snipe + Tornado Shot of Cloudburst + Vicious Projectiles + Deadly Ailments + Unbound Ailment + Brutality Main skill. Unbound Ailment mandatory to extend bleed duration, otherwise Rupture will reduce duration too much. Take note & get used to the playstyle. !!!Tap button abit longer for single stage shot for clear, hold button for when meeting tougher enemies.!!! Clear Skill (Split Arrow of Splitting) Split Arrow of Splitting + Rupture + Mirage Archer + Vicious Projectile Clear skill, shoot once in a while during mapping. Also useful to aggravate + rupture bleed inflicted from main skill. !!!Rupture support only useful once Perfect Agony is up & running!!! !!!During levelling, link clear skill with hextouch + Vulnerability before you get Vulnerability on Hit ring!!! Manaforged Arrow Utility Manaforged Arrow + Frenzy + Rain of Arrows + Maim + Rupture Frenzy to gain Affliction charge (or frenzy if don't have Ralakesh + Olesya yet), Rain of Arrows to inflict maim, rupture & aggravate. Dash Dash + Second Wind Standard Dash setup CWDT CWDT + Molten Shell Standard Guard skill Aura Precision + Pride + Purity of Elements Aura skills. Unlinked so slot wherever. Manage your mana pool by playing around with Precision level when you don't have enough mana. Flexible Utility Summon Holy Relic + Meat Shield Provides good life regen at low investment. !!!This slot is actually flexible for your to play around with, e.g. more link on CWDT, etc. I just like Holy Relic's regeneration!!! My Gear + Explanation: Bow: High Phys Bow (w. high crit chance & high crit multi) Progressively upgrade into endgame version. Attack speed is nice to have but not mandatory (if base APS is >1.2 atleast) Best base = Assassin Bow / Harbinger's Bow Quiver: Drillneck > Rare DPS Quiver Life + as many DPS rolls as you can fit into. Drillneck during levelling is great for +1 pierce. !!!Important - One of the gear slot to get pierce (penetrating quiver base), the other is on the helmet!!! Helmet: Rares > Double-influenced Rares Life + Res + Spell suppress !!!Important - One of the gear slot to get pierce (syndicate prefix craft), the other is on the quiver!!!
