Color Code: Section Titles Bullet Points Special Information URL Links Shoutout for Other Services/Guides/Creators Strength Gems/Supports Intelligence Gems/Supports Dexterity Gems/Supports Highlighting Gear Level of Build Showcased ******************************************* MAJOR UPDATES for 3.16 ******************************************* Net Changes: Cons: *Fortify Much Weaker *Phase Acrobatics gone *Blind gone Pros: *Gained 30-40% MORE minimum damage via masteries(probably more with gear now being more efficient) *Tornado Skill 'Potentially' a BETTER Hydrosphere(will require testing but could enable strictly more damage) *Accuracy per int mastery basically caps accuracy for us and alleviates A LOT of gear pressure freeing up multiple suffixes on gear and makes split personalities with accuracy fairly unnecessary I believe *Shock Immunity! one of the deadliest ailments we get immunity to via power charge mastery, this frees up a flask slot for more damage or defence of your choosing *FREEZE immunity! the other most deadly ailment we now have immunity to via Bring King, this frees up another flask slot for more damage or defence of your choosing *Potential DEFENSIVE Option of Ghost Shrouds + Shapers Touch + Grace + Wicked Ward Instead of Ghost Reaver(this will require some aura switching around and probably mana efficiency investment in aura effect nodes near CI/Aura Templar nodes (Check out Palsteron video on how strong shapers touch Int stacking Evasion can be : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqNV_p_11p0&ab_channel=Palsteron) Misc Changes to Look Into: *Shapers touch + Aura Man Efficiency Mastery/nodes +Grace(defensive mentioned above in pros) *Tornado mentioned above in pros could be a strict DPS upgrade over hydrosphere(needs to be tested in game) *ATTRIBUTE fossils these could be a huge buff to our gear crafting process DEPENDENT on rarity/cost of the fossils. I can't update crafting steps until I've actually tested these fossils and seen their price ect. *Fortify shield charge might not be worth in future/test this and if it doesn't provide enough benefit these links could be changed ******************************************* Updates for Future Patches ******************************************* This Build is up to date for Patch 3.16 I will update this section in future if I have assessed changes to the build for future patches, path of exile can be quite volatile in steady build viability as many builds receive nerfs and buffs regularly so I will do my best to let you know if the build gets bricked/stays the same/or receives significant buffs. ******************************************* Leveling ******************************************* DISCLAIMER: This build does NOT have a good leveling experience. The entire build revolves around damage per int mod on wand which requires a level 60+ character. Because of this you will have to level the character as Pseudo something else and respec later. I will leave you a few suggestions of options that can work. Less Respec Leveling Choices: 1) Lightning Strike + Hand of Thought and Motion(this is a level 20ish item that can scale with int stacking), this combined with some twink leveling uniques like astramentis/perandus signet/belt of deceiver ect can be okay for leveling but will fall off a bit in the later acts 2) Flat Ele Power Siphon Wander focus less on int stacking and more on getting flat damage + wand attack speed+%damage / this will be on the squishier side but should have okay damage and keep to similar gem setups Smoothest Leveling Choice: Hollow Palm Smite this will have a 60-80 regret orb respec but will save you a lot of time in frustration in trivializing leveling. There are a ton of guides on how to do this but the best all inclusive guide I've seen on this leveling strategy is by Fyregrass Fyregrass Hollow Palm Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dfvJav-zy0&ab_channel=Fyregrass Fyregrass Ranger Hollow Palm PoB: https://pastebin.com/nF6fKhns ******************************************* IMPORTANT for Playing build Successfully ******************************************* Hydrosphere positioning: Hydrosphere can MAKE or BREAK your damage depending on placement. If hydrosphere is placed in front of the boss it will intercept all projectiles before hitting the boss Making the difference between doubling your damage and making you deal zero damage. This can happen if you place hydrosphere before boss spawns(elder/conquerors) or if boss is knockbacked(knockback bricks build) / boss walks backwards Fix this by immediately moving hydrosphere with an attack far away to move hydrosphere off of bad spot because if the boss is too close to hydrosphere then it will not be moved. then hover mouse directly over boss and attack to place hydrosphere directly on boss. You can also simply reposition by flame dashing to the opposite side of the bos which works as well. This mostly will be a non issue as the playstyle becomes second nature primarilly only being a problem on bosses that walk around a lot, luckilly most bosses that walk around a lot fall under the category of map bosses which have small hp pools and get deleted quite quickly. Far Shot: Similarly FAR SHOT is insanely good for damage which means positioning is very important as its the difference in dealing double the damage At zero units which would be right on top of the boss we deal 4.6million dps(not considering vengeant cascade) vs at 70 units of distance we deal 9.4 million dps(not including vengeant cascade) For a good visual representation of what 70 units of distance look like, check the ingame picture here: https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Distance For a bad visual representation, observe my artwork below, x is roughly where you want to stand if O is a boss while the * border represents a 1080p monitor * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * units * * 0 35 70 * * x O * * (you) (boss) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ******************************************* Gem Link Setups ******************************************* Utility Gems: 3L - Shield Charge - Fortify - Faster Attacks 4L - Spellslinger - Snipers Mark - Hydrosphere - Onslaught 4L - Arcanist Brand - Frost Shield - Elemental Weakness - Faster Casting No Link: Discipline / Precision / Flame Dash Clear Gem: 4L Kinetic Blast - (Greater Multiple Projectiles/Awakened Fork Support) - Trinity - Inspiration Damage Gem: 6L Power Siphon - Barrage Support - Trinity - Awakened Added Lightning - Inspiration Inspiration Support: Use this support if you experience mana issues, if you don't have mana issues awakened elemental damage with attacks is close to 10% more damage / Generally the higher budget you go with the build the more int you will have and in turn get more mana and thus can transistion to Awakened Elemental Damage with Attacks Awakened Fork Support: Did some playtesting with this on deadeye and can confirm it feels like a good upgrade to clear over greater multiple projectile support, only an option for deadeye as other ascendancies don't get additional base projectiles. I am not sure regular fork out performs greater multiple projectiles but for sure awakened fork is the play. ******************************************* Thresholds For Success ******************************************* Accuracy: 3900 is roughly the threshold for 100% chance to hit on endgame bosses, this is extremely important to hit as accuracy is checked twice for both Hitting the enemy as well as confirming a CRIT Accuracy can be acquired via Precision or as a suffix on helmet/amulet/ring/gloves or on abyssal jewels with %attack speed if crit recently + 200 flat accuracy Crit Chance: We get to roughly about 80% with power charges and then 95 with diamond flask, Ideally you want to get this as close to 100% without over investing, if you have over 100% crit chance consider dropping %increased crit chance for other damage sources. A better wand/bottled faith/crit chance corruption on breathstealers, all these things could take you above crit cap Attack Speed: This stat is extremely valuable for damage scaling in the build, definitely prioritize this on jewels/cluster jewels/wand/gloves and wherever else you can pick it up Mana Sustain: 1 Fuel the Fight Notable + Enduring Eternal Mana Flask will solve mana for the build along with using inspiration support instead of Ele damage with attacks until you have a larger mana Pool ES Sustain: 1 Feed the Fury Notable Gives us attack leech which we convert to ES leech with Ghost Reaver Keystone + Min-maxing eventually getting ES on Hit Watchers Eye for massive sustain Upgrade Resistances: Make sure to cap Elemental Resistances to 75 if you are largely overcapped with other resistances than I recommend farming Harvest Crafts to switch res from over cap res to resistances that need to be capped Total ES Pool: With budget variants of the build around lvl 90 you should be aiming for ATLEAST 5.5k ES and if you find yourself below this consider shopping around or crafting better flat ES gear, On Higher budget ends aim closer to 7k+ ******************************************* Misc Information / FAQ ******************************************* Bandits: Kill All +2 passives / Alira if you are struggling for RES Pantheon: Bring King(makes stun not so bad) + Abberath(50% ignite duration + a few implicits make ignite a non issue) Kinetic Blast MTX: I used Celestial Kinetic Blast MTX Ascendancy Order: Tailwind -> Far Shot -> Mark Effect -> +2 Projectiles Map Mods to AVOID: Elemental/Physical Reflect How to Acquire Lvl 21 Anomalous Power Siphon: Temple Gem Corruption Room on 20/20 Anomalous Power Siphons, hit 21/20 in 7 tries SSF Viable? I do NOT recommend running an Int stacker in SSF unless you have already acquired a majority of good gear slots for Int Stacker / You are capable of farming gear for int stacker separately Leaguestarter? I do NOT recommend Int stacker as a leaguestart build, given the build has a horrible time leveling even with twink gear means it would be even worse on a leaguestart with no gear, on top of that, key items like hunter/shaper wands that can roll lightning mod will be in very limited supply on leaguestart and until you get that item you won't really have a build. I think int stacker can make a great second build as some BiS synthesis gear is generally at its cheapest early league so itd be great for a character you farm gear for on the plus side. Trade Search Links Not Working? If trade search links are not working https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/ZYZ99m0FQ It could be due to it being a changed league, I am not sure what happens with trade search links once a league is moved to standard. Ascendancy? Ascendancy options that are decent for Int stacker are Assassin/Ascendant/Occultist/Deadeye of these I rank them 1)Deadeye 2)Ascendant 3)Occultist 4)Assassin They all make fairly strong Int stackers but I believe deadeye/Ascendant edge out the other two ascendancies on DPS by a decent margin and then deadeye ultimately can perform better on a budget than ascendant can. I made a more in depth comparison video on Ascendant and Deadeye as I setup and played both to make sure I could recommend which one I thought was the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIN8LPdiBPs&t=107s&ab Problem Cases for the Build: Belfry Boss/Kitava with hydrosphere can be bricked to deal damage as hydrosphere can't be placed on boss, you will have to unsocket hydrosphere for this content Atziri/Uber Atziri reflects damage, and we can get reflect ele immune with sibyls ring swap + yugul pantheon for boss but I believe we may stilll kill ourselfs to mirror clone with our phys damage(not sure about this one) The Hidden: If ull-netol puts up his spikes you can't attack bosses as the spikes absorb hits and make targeting boss very hard, Prioritize killing him first at all cost before he bricks the arena ******************************************* Where to put currency first / PRIORITIES ******************************************* #1 Assess How much currency you have to work and take a look at how I geared my characters for videos on budgets of 3ex/14ex/50ex if your budget falls close to one of these then you will probably be gearing similar to how those characters geared themselves. #2 Get every gear piece to the minimal viable budget standard on each of the gearing portions(don't look at more expensive upgrades until you atleast have an 'Ok' item for each gear slot) #3 Self Craft Mid Budget Large clusters, these aren't too expensive to craft with serrated fossils and are a big boost to the build #4 Medium Clusters #5 The rest of the Mid-Budget pieces that are 1.5ex or less in expected cost I would get into the build #6 High Budget Awakener Orb Wand Craft ~ This is one of the biggest bang for your buck upgrades the build can get so I recommend prioritizing as the first sizable cost upgrade to get #7 Finish out the rest of the Mid Budget gear upgrades so that way each piece of gear is in a fairly good/respectable place #8 Atziri's Reflection this is a very feels good upgrade that makes running alch and go maps much much smoother as we can now ignore curse mods #9 ES on Hit Watchers EYE, this item is an extremely strong upgrade to sustain/survivability and makes the build feel much safer while mapping/bossing #10 The high budget craft for the helmet with +2 proj ilvl(72-79) #11 High Budget Chest Craft(this can be fairly expensive but will lead to a big boost to total EHP when crafted well and you should be able to sell pieces that miss crusader slam to recoup funds of craft) #12 Upgrades After this start moving into ULTRA expense and vastly increase cost of build in which case I would take them one at the time at your own choosing based on how Invested into the build you want to go #13 High Tier Boot upgrades would allow you to drop Freeze flask for Bottled Faith #14 Emperors Wit #15 Synthe %INT Rare ring #16 Corrupted Breath Stealer #17 GG ultra Amulet Craft #18 At this point you will basically just be perfecting each gear/jewel slot that still has weaknesses :) ******************************************* Some Crafting Basics/Terminology ******************************************* Advanced Mod Descriptions: Open Options Menu, go to UI tab, and enable "advanced mod descriptions" this makes it so when you hover over an item and hold the ALT key it will tell what affixes are suffixes/prefixes as well as item level Prefixes/Suffixes: Items can only have a maximum of 3 prefixes and 3 sufffixes, except for jewels/cluster jewels which are limited to 2 prefixes and 2 suffixes. Open Suffix: This refers to an item that only has 2 suffixes and thus can afford to have 1 more suffix because items can have up to 3 suffixes. Open Prefix: This refers to an item that only has 2 prefixes and thus can afford to have 1 more prefix because items can have up to 3 prefixes. Full Prefixes: This refers to an item with 3 prefixes that cannot have any more Full Suffixes: This refers to an item with 3 suffixes that cannot have any more Awakener Orb: KEY POINTS to follow when Awakener Orbing #1 ONLY use items with 1 influence mod that you care about combining, if there are additional influence mods you need to anul influence mods you don't want #2 First Item you click after right clicking awakener orb is the item getting destroyed, and the second item is the item being kept where the two mods will be forged onto Prefixes Cannot Be Changed: This craft applied via the bench is used to preserve current prefixes and can be acquired through doing Unbearable Whispers V Suffixes Cannot Be Changed: This craft applied via the bench is used to preserve current Suffixes and can be acquired through doing The Unbreathing Queen V Multimod: This is a benchcraft you can find from doing the Pale Court Fight which allows you to benchcraft 3 mods(1 of these being the multimod craft) Farric Wolf Alpha: A Beast that you can use in Menagerie Craft Altar to Remove a random suffix and add a prefix (this can be purchased on trade site 10-20c usually) Farric Lynx Alpha: A Beast that you can use in the Menagerie Craft Altar to Remove a random prefix and add a suffix (this can be purchased on trade site 10-20c usually) "Harvest X": Whenever I specify harvest I am referring to a craft that can be found through harvest league mechanic, we use these crafts mostly to guarantee certain good affixes as well as open up a prefix/suffix slot without bricking an item Reforge Keep Suffix: Whenever we get an item with good suffixes that we don't want to lose, but we need an open a prefix slot, we use this craft. If there is an open suffix on the item, you want to benchcraft something random in suffix pool to avoid the scenario where some random mod gets put into your suffix pool preventing us from forcing on a desirable mod. Throughout a league this can be found in the price range of 50c-2ex usually on TFT Discord Reforge Keep Prefix: Whenever we get an item with good Prefixes that we don't want to lose, but we need an open a suffix slot, we use this craft. If there is an open prefix on the item, you want to benchcraft something random in suffix pool to avoid the scenario where some random mod gets put into your suffix pool preventing us from forcing on a desirable mod. Throughout a league this can be found in the price range of 50c-2ex usually on TFT Discord Expected Cost/Tries: Via Craft of Exile(a fancy crafting calculation program/site) We can estimate the expected amount of tries using essences or fossils ect a craft will take. This is based on specific mod weightings and some math. It does NOT guarantee you will only spend that amount of currency. There is some luck and RNG always in crafting where you could spend at most one Essence on the lucky side and the unlucky side where you spend twice or three times as much as is expected. Always go into crafting with this perspective because many times you will spend less than you 'should have to' and many times you will spend more than you 'should have to'. Estimates I give for craft cost: These estimates range from the low end of succeeding on the craft in expected amount of x essences and acquiring base items required on the minimum level of price estimation, Then on the high end the estimation goes off of highest possible estimate of base items required along with getting unlucky in the crafting process. Some Craft/Item Estimates I do not give because they are mostly based off of trade which can be a very unpredictable market and I would suggest just checking the trade site via links I provide manually or checking yourself. ******************************************* Cluster Jewels ******************************************* Large Cluster: Extreme Budget: 8 Passive with combination of 2 decent Notables https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/5m3DEzeSa Budget: 8 Passive item level 67 or lower wand cluster, use Serrated Fossils till you hit a 3 Notable with Opportunistic Fusilade + (FeedFury/Fuel Fight) + Suffix Notable(this will force 2 prefixes we want onto travel notable. If you hit martial prowess suffix, that is worth speccing where as others aren't as much. Craft of exile puts this craft at a 1/11 expected cost https://www.craftofexile.com/?b=165&m=fossil&f=|14|&lv=67&ob=both&v=d&a=e&l=a&lg=7&bp=y&as=1&req={%22339%22:{%22l%22:50,%22g%22:2},%22347%22:{%22l%22:1,%22g%22:2},%22359%22:{%22l%22:50,%22g%22:2},%22384%22:{%22l%22:1,%22g%22:2},%22401%22:{%22l%22:1,%22g%22:1},%22461%22:{%22l%22:1,%22g%22:2}}&bld={}&ggt=|&ccp={} Mid Budget: 8 passive cluster with Opportunistic Fusilade+Feed The Fury+Martial Prowess another 8 Passive with fuel the fight instead of Feed the Fury This jewel has the same crafting method as Mid-Budget with requiring a bit more fossils to specifically hit martial prowess as suffix instead of the others. High Budget: Same as Mid Budget except with additional good Suffix Medium Cluster: Blast Freeze + (EyeOfStorm/AstonishingAffliction/Overshock): https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/ZYZ99m0FQ ~Blast Freeze in combination with Call of the brotherhood makes map clear much safer thanks to freezing most monsters on screen) ~Other Notables help scale our damage as well as our ailments, best of these would be eye of storm, then overshock and lastly astonishing afflicition, but all are fair options Pressure Points + (Precise Retaliation/Quick Getaway/Basics of Pain): https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/v4j5aEJtE ~Pressure Poitns Occassionally gives us double damage on a high roll which helps us inflict higher ailments more often along with being one of the best damage notables in the game ~Other Crit Notables mentioned are all just fairly good damage wise and having an option between all of them helps the medium cluster cost less Gear Level Showcased in Video: The character showcased use Mid Budget Larges with medium Crit(PressurePoints+PreciseRetaliation) Ailment(Blast-Freeze+Eye of the Storm) ******************************************* Jewels ******************************************* Rare Jewels: On Extreme Budget: A 3 stat jewel with atleast 1 attack speed mod https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/JLyQJVRUl Budget / Mid Budget: Better 3 stat Jewels that are a bit stronger https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/ZYZ9XpEIQ High Budget: You will be looking for 4 stat jewels with these sorts of stats, consider grabbing jewels with Crit multi/Int Fracture and using shuddering fossils to hit attack speed ect. Unique jewels: Fertile Mind: You will need 2 of these, great jewel to get corrupted blood immunity as well as maim/hinder Immunity Thread of Hope Small: Great Jewel to get maim/hinder immunity on Split Personality: Always +Int, then in combination with accuracy/dex/strength to fix attributes or accuracy hit chance, and for a luxury you can go for flat ES Watchers Eye: On the cheap end, just a precision attack speed/%damage/%multi and on the more expensive end ES on hit Discipline eye for great ES Sustain Emperor's Wit: This is EXTREMELY expensive for the value it gives, definitely do not buy this until are super high end min-maxing as it is one of the smaller upgrades for the price of 10+EX(Its so rare that supply ends up making the price quite high) Gear Level Showcased in Video: The character showcased had Good 3 stat rare jewels mostly + a couple split personalities + ES on hit Watchers Eye + Emperors Wit(this jewel I believe was a mistake for my investment level as currency could have been better spent other places) ******************************************* Wand ******************************************* Budget Estimate: 10-100c depending on cost of metallic fossils and whats on the market Buying: Check trade for wand with lightning damage per int Mod, ideally on base with good aps/cri chance, then benchcraft on attack speed/crit (Aim for Cost around 50c) Crafting: buy an ilvl68+ hunter/shaper imbued wand and metallic fossil spam till you get flat damage per int mod which is roughly a 1/44 expected https://www.craftofexile.com/?b=18&m=fossil&f=|10|&i=|2|&ob=both&v=d&a=e&l=a&lg=7&bp=y&as=1&req={%22163%22:{%22l%22:68,%22g%22:1}}&bld={}&ggt=|&ccp={} Then bencraft on %crit chance on open suffix, if no open suffix try farric wolf alpha beastiary craft to open up a suffix and then craft crit chance, if no open affixes, you can try yolo anul, up to you if you want to take risk Mid Budget Craft Estimate: 3-4ex Crafting: Buy hunter/Shaper Imbued wand ilvl68+ then alt spam(1/500ish + augments expected) to hit Lightning damage per int Mod Then Augment + Regal, if you hit attack speed or crit chance, then just benchcraft the other, if you hit neither then use farric wolf alphas to force all suffixes onto the prefix pool and Multimod Attack Speed + Crit Chance I personally would recommend just doing the budget wand and saving up a bit more then trying for the High Budget wand skipping mid budget wand as cost on lower/lucky end of high budget wand isn't that much different then mid budget wand. High Budget Craft Estimate: 6.5ex - 16.5ex = Awakener Orb(2-4ex) + 60-200c(2 wands) + Prefixes Can't Be Changed(2ex) + Multimod(2ex) +(maybe Keep Prefix reforge(1-2ex) / Prefixes Can't Be Changed(2ex) / Aisling(2-3ex)) Step 1: Buy imbued wand with lightning damage per int mod or with %spell damage per int mod (aim for around 50-100c as thats how much it costs to hit the mod anyways with metallic fossils) Step 2: Buy random wand with the other key mod you don't already have (aim for around 10-100c as its on incorrect base the mod should be cheaper to snag, if not you can craft for less than 100c generally) Step 3: Use an Awakener Orb to Combine these 2 mods onto one wand This can result in a few cases( 6 mods / 5 mods(open prefix/open suffix) / 4 mods(open suffix and open prefix / full prefix 2 open suffix)) Case 6 Mods: -> Harvest Keep prefix Reforge + Prefixes Can't be Changed Scour + MultiMod Attack Speed and Crit Quality DONE HERE Case 5 Mods Open Prefix: Benchcraft random prefix -> Harvest Keep Prefix Reforge -> Prefixes Can't Be Changed + Scour -> Step 4 Case 4/5 mods Open Suffix + Full Prefixes: Prefixes Can't Be changed + Scour -> Multimod Attack Speed+CritChance Case 4 Mods Open Prefix+Open Suffix: Benchcraft Prefixes can't be changed + Scour -> Step 4 Step 4: Benchcraft Prefixes Can't Be Changed and use Aisling T4 from Betrayal if Prefix(longer text) then hope you hit %lightning Damage / %Spell damage / Elemental Penetration Otherwise it most likely be deadish stat else if Suffix(shorter text) Benchcraft Fire/Cold/Physical/Chaos dot multi do block unwanted suffixes before unveiling. Then unveil hoping for %crit chance or %attack speed(there are some other okay damage affixes like %double damage/multi) IF suffix mod is borderline useless, I would consider doing prefixes can't be changed + Scour again and doing step 4 again for another attempt at good affix from Aisling Step 5: Multimod the Item for Attack Speed/Crit Chance/Ele Penetration Done: you should have a 5 to 4 stat wand similar to my character I previewed for this build 6 Mod wand Extra Expensive: Only can be done if you hit good third prefix on awakener orb or in step 4 with aisling. You will repeatedly use prefixes can't be changed + Harvest Reforge Crit more common / Attack more common till you hit high tier crit chance/attack speed + another damage stat like Multi/accuracy/FlatINT then benchcraft Crit qual/attack qual for the stat you don't have Enchant Wand: Best enchant for wand through harvest is %attack speed quality, this combined with 30% from hillock and 18% quality from either hybrid crit quality or attack quality is an additional 6% attack speed which applies to wand base attack speed, close to 6% more damage. Gear Level Showcased in Video: The character showcased has a wand with roughly 5 good stats close to what you will have after doing High budget wand craft ******************************************* Shield ******************************************* Estimates for these Budget: Simply shopping around for a shield with okay ES and %Lightning or %Spell Damage https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/0valOOgUg Mid Budget: Similar to Budget shield with a little bit higher standards for ES https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/pbE6ep5u0 For both Budget and Mid budget you are just going to benchcraft on a mod like %qual +int / a resistance if you need / Or ES prefix if there is an open prefix Alternative Crafting Option: A fractured Shield with %Lightning/%Spell/+Int/ES and craft with Dense fossils. High Budget: Atziri's Reflection This shield is usually in the range of 5-15ex throughout the league and can be creating by doing Queen's Sacrifice Prophecy by killing Uber atziri while you have atziri's mirror in your inventory Gear Level Showcased in Video: The character showcased uses High Budget shield atiziri's reflection ******************************************* Helmet ******************************************* Budget: Shop around for a helmet with decent ES and Flat INT https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/pbEgkReu0 Mid Budget: Buy a t2/t3 Base with +2 Power Siphon Projectile or a T1 base(hubris) with t2 enchant(Power siphon %attackspeed/%damage) ~Spam Dense Fossils till you hit decent ES and Bench Craft INT ~ Crown of Eyes: This is a great DPS helm on for Mid budget in the build IF you have %spell damage per int awakened wand and tranquility breathstealers BUT ONLY if you do not have a High budget helm craft yet, as the high budget helm will be close to the same damage while providing 1k additional ES. High Budget Craft Estimate: 4-12ex = Helm Base(1-9?ex) + 13 Defeaning Spite + Hunters Exalt(2ex?)

This is a section for interesting ideas people share that I believe could have some potential to improve the build in a significant way. I will go what I believe are the pros and cons of the idea and if you want to experiment with the idea in the build you can do so. Secrets of Suffering: Cons: We lose the ability to freeze and map clearing becomes more dangerous(in this scenario we drop blast-freeze cluster for other offensive/defensive passives. We also lose a jewel socket, 1 passive point and 20% chills on bosses(opportunity cost) Pros: We cap crit much easier given we are inflicting 20+% chills on current version of the build which leads me to believe we probably will inflict a fairly significant brittle. This would allow us to spec a fair amount less into crit while still being crit capped more easilly and get more damage speccing into other things like aps/%damage/%multi Fork instead of Greater Multiple Projectiles for clear link on Kinetic Blast: I didn't thoroughly test various clear links as my initial setup for kinetic blast worked so well, but in comments someone highly suggested it as something they believed was superior to gmp which I could see being the case. This would only be an option on Deadeye variants which have additional proj ascendancy. *Just tested this and I can confirm it feels really good to have awakend fork, thanks for the suggesting in youtube comments: Izith! ***********************************************************************************************************************************
