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!

The build won’t be supported post 2.6.0 due to upcoming nerfs on the required uniques, making lose the potential of farming red maps. Up to you to do it if you want, but I won’t update much of the build except the tree url (otherwise you can check my char Naereena)

If you still want to do this build, it’s not cheap at all and not suggested for beginners, unless you have few experience with Energy Shield or Low-life builds. Basically, on 2.6.0, this will be a Standard league build.

Pros
  • 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.

Cons
  • 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

T13 Courtyard floor with video!

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

Atziri final loot viability.

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.

Bandits
  • 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.

Ascendancy
  • 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.
