Hierophant Leveling Guide For Kinetic Blast of Clustering

Lvl 1-31: Rolling Magma Your best bet for damage early on is getting +x damage to spells. Even just 2 goat's horns you pick up in act 1 go a long way. The skill is so strong early you don't need more than that. Place totems (and yourself) so you shoot projectiles through Flame Wall on single target. Less important for Power Siphon. Optional Movement abilities: While it is fully viable to just equip 2 wands and Frostblink through the campaign, a lot of people enjoy movement skills for speed. - The best early on is equipping 2x 1-handed swords in your second weapon set, and using that with Leap Slam. Very nice once you get used to it. Dual wielding = more attack speed, important! For clearing packs you don't even need to swap to your main weapon set for damage, provided your gems are not in them. - Alternatively, you can play 1 Wand + Shield and use Shield Charge. This comes at the cost of damage which you'll mostly notice on bosses. OPTIONAL: At level 28 swap Rolling Magma for Firestorm for a few levels. Lvl 31+: Power Siphon Library regex for gems: "^power s|^added l|^pie|ter at|akn|ld ch|wrat|cis|ballista totem su|^lightning p|c bl" Damage tip for Power Siphon: Make sure to get as much + flat damage on gear as possible. NOT FLAT DAMAGE TO SPELLS! This usually means prefixes on rings, wands, necks You'll need good amount of transmute orbs for these crafts during campaign! Pick them all up and vendor unidentified blues/rares! Leveling your Added Lightning Damage Supports (or buying them in act 1) will help for the swap You'll want some Spell Damage % on your wand to scale all that flat up. Nice to have mods on weapon: Attack speed & crit stuff Endgame/KBoC - For your swap to Kinetic Blast of Clustering you'll want some form of + mana on all your gear. Crafted is more than fine for early mapping! Besides that just get life and resistances, happy times. - Make sure to position yourself so your AoE blasts are overlapping on your target. - On your weapon you want Spell Damage most of all, so look for Prophecy Wands with some Essences of Woe for crafting early. Roll some combination of crit chance/multi and attack speed, and you're set for a long time! - Last Ascendancy points go into the Farrul Bloodline (Bottom of the PoB). See video for SSF tips to get this. Other stuff At any point during the campaign or endgame you can spec Practical Application for some extra resistances if gearing is rough.
