Intro

Forum link – [link]

Welcome to my Path of Midas, Tornado Shot Ranger Pathfinder build for Path of Exile update 2.5, Atlas of Worlds!

• Fast Clear with a pretty yellow floor.
• Can farm up to t12+ maps
• Divination Distillate will last until the end of the flask duration
• Uber lab viable if you’re familiarized with Izaro.
  Since constructors got huge damage buff in Atziri, must be a nightmare on Uber so up to you to test your greed. Atziri is viable but you may cry a little.

• You need to know what you’re doing before complain the build is not working properly.
  First time I played with energy shield I raged so hard and blamed build author, when the reality was, I had no experience with ES and it was my bad.
• You need at least a good rare helm and ring to fix your resistances.
• Low Energy Shield pool.
• Not a cheap build if you want to play it seriously
• Reflects, Blood Magic and Cannot leech.

Up to 420 IIR 60 IIQ!!! – check screenshots later in the post

The video was a bit of tryhard, will try to record another decently without my potato pc freezing.

Passive Tree and Ascendancy

Level 90 Passive Tree in 2.6[www.pathofexile.com]

About the passive tree, I believe it’s very pushed for who has not very big experience in the game. For Ascendancy I choose Pathfinder because a ES MF build demands a great flask control and knowledge, but the best is, Onslaught and Quicksilver lasts for 8 seconds, so, perma speed on a map.

There are 2 jewel sockets, one for Energy from Within and other free for your needs.

• Kraytin – Since this is a low-life build, every resistance are welcome.
• Point
• Kraytin or Allira – Up to you get some speed or some crit power.

• Nature’s Adrenaline – Attack Speed and Speedy Gonzalez bonus.
• Veteran Bowyer – We use Weapon Elemental Damage with Hatred and Ash element bonus, this gives to us a sweet bonus boost with 10% penetration.
• Nature’s Boon – This sweet allows us to refil our flasks in middle of a fight where there’s no minions nearby. Also 20% to not consume flasks increases our survivability.
• Master Alchemist – This depends of how you want to play, if you want to full flask-agressive set such Taste of Hate, Atziris or Vinktar for certain bosses and elemental boost damage, take Master Alchemist.

Gear

These are the Demanding uniques for the following reasons:

• Shavronne’s Wrappings, don’t need to be 6linked because rolling 5 off-colours will be painful.
• Eye of Chayula for stun immunity and free 30%.
• Reach of the Council, the free link of GMP is a must have if you want to farm high tier maps.
• Wondertrap, or there was no reason to be on Low-Life.

A little suggestion if you need:

• Item Quantity Support, it’s legacy and it’s nice to have one. But if you want fast clear this is not priority and you still get profit.
• Belt: Doryani’s Invitation Physical Damage Version – Strength, +30% Resistances will save you from pain.
• Belt: Bated Breath – Energy Shield and bonus of increased damage.
• Belt: A Golden Obi if you work in a bank or a well-rolled Crystal Belt
• Ring: Andvarius – Great IIR but -20 res drawback
• Quiver: Soul Strike – Good ES, Crit Chance and fast ES recharge.

Gem Links

These links are without Item Quantity, so, generic for new leagues or even for who hadn’t chance to grab one.

• Tornado Shot
• Item Rarity Support
• Weapon Elemental Damage Support
• Added Fire Damage Support
• Physical Projectile Attack Damage Support
• Faster Attacks Support (Frenzy helps you if you do not own 6links)

In case of fight against bosses, you can swap Tornado Shot with Barrage, for example, Atziri fight.

• Tornado Shot
• Item Rarity Support
• Weapon Elemental Damage Support
• Added Fire Damage Support or Item Quantity
• Culling Strike
• Faster Attacks Support – Better FA than PPAD, because FA attacks per second are 3.69 and PPAD 2.7

These links are easier in Shavs/ES Helm

• Purity of Elements
• Herald of Ash
• Enlighten level 2+
• Discipline

These links are easier in gloves like Aurseize or Wondertrap

• Hatred
• Blood Magic, Level 20 would be nice and it’s cheap.
• Enlighten level 3+
• Clarity, Low level or you can’t reserve due to life pool

These links are easier in Wondertrap

• Frenzy
• Slower Projectiles Support
• Faster Attacks Support or Increased Critical Strikes Support
• Power Charge on Critical Support

Don’t forget Blink Arrow with Faster Attacks Support for mobility.
