PoE Blast Rain builds

Mana stacking as a core archetype has been mostly figured out. It requires a lot of uniques to start, but they are all pretty cheap, and once you have them the build scales linearly. The strategy of stacking STR and INT with Shaper's Touch gives a very smooth progression path that can go on for basically forever. It's an archetype that you can start and end the league with. Manaforged Arrow is a relatively new addition to the archetype. You can use it without stacking mana, but the strategy of using it while stacking has an even higher ceiling than regular mana stacking. It works by increasin

I know what you are thinking... another trigger all the skills build but I thought this setup was cool so I wanted to share. If you want to avoid reading a giant wall of text Here is a link to the character on the ladder and here is a link to the PoB. Take the dps listed with a major grain of salt because it doesn't count for triggerbots and it thinks my CoC spells are all triggering around once a second. Als

PoB: I'm currently trying to build around the new Saboteur Triggerbot changes and came up with a Bow-based CoC build. I wanted to try something outside of the usual Frostbolt / Ice Nova / Ice Spear variants, so I gave lightning a try with Arc + Voltaxic Burst and Shock Nova in Asenath's for BIG shock support. A few notes on the build: Built gear to be "Good, but could be better". Lots of places for optimization \~36M PoB DPS, but it probably floats more around 25M-30M DPS realistically given missed arrow procs, sub-optimal tr
