3.14 - Raider Kinetic Blast/Power Siphon League Starter and Beginner Friendly. Very Flex Build

Build creation

Kinetic Blast fires a projectile from a wand that causes a series of small explosions surrounding its point of impact, each damaging enemies caught in the area.

Power Siphon is an attack skill. This wand skill fires a volley of projectiles that are are both empowered by and generate power charges. Projectiles also have Culling Strike. It will be your single target damage supported by Barrage Support.

Exposure is a debuff that lowers a particular elemental resistance (in this case, lightning).

Elemental Penetration is a property of hits that reduces the target's effective resistance to elemental damage types (fire, cold and lightning).

Shock is an elemental ailment associated with lightning that causes the affected target to take increased damage from all sources.

Onslaught is a buff that grants 20% increased attack/cast speed and movement speed. The movility can be very defensive too (more easy manual dodge mechanich bosses and do you need less investment in boots if you don't have a lot of currency).

Intimidate is another debuff that causes the enemy take 10% increased attack damage, in our case, only on full life of the enemy.

Flat damage is the main upgrade of the damage in this build, through your gear and in the finals states, with your abyss jewels with mods like "Adds x to y Lightning Damage to Wand Attacks" or "Adds x to y Cold Damage to Attacks".

Defense

Elemental Immunity thank to your ascendancy, you can't be affected by ailments. Ailments: Ignite, chill, freeze, shock, scorch, brittle, and sap are collectively referred to as elemental ailments. Chill, freeze, shock, scorch, brittle, and sap are collectively referred to as non-damaging ailments. Bleed, poison, and ignite are damaging ailments.

Blind is another debuff that lessens the chance to hit of the affected target by ¡¡50%!! The duration is 4 sec.

High Dodge and evasion chance: Dodge: dodge is a layer of defence that grants a chance to prevent a damaging hit. The chance to dodge is a random roll made per attack/cast; it is not entropy-based like evasion nor is it affected by accuracy. Dodge is capped at 75% and is rolled before block. Damage avoidance is a separate mechanic and is rolled after block. Evasion: evasion is the first layer of defence that increases a character's chance to evade incoming attacks. Evasion is opposed by the attacker's accuracy. Dexterity also affects to the evasion rating

Phasing allows move throught enemies or abilities, walls created with spikes or things like that, ¡very useful! Duration is 4 sec.

Chill is a debuff that applies a slow effect, reducing the animation speed.

Wind Dancer is a passive of the tree, and give us a nice boost of evasion when we are hit, and a 20% less damage taken if we haven't been hit recently.

Helmet


Gloves


Boots


Body Armour


Wand


Shield


Rings


Amulet


Belt


Flask



Jewels

Follow the order in which they are written. It is the order of preference. Use awakened version when you can:











PS: All gems with level 21 and quality 23 are the best option, but 20/20 (or 5/20 for awakened) still pretty nice.

Kill all, but if you want some crit multi and elemental resist, help alira, but normally an abyss jewell is better than this passive.

Major God: Soul of Lunaris for clearing and Soul of Solaris for bosses. For chaos bosses Soul of Arakaali
Minor God:Soul of Ryslatha for leveling and labyrinth and Soul of Tukohama to helping facetank bosses. Soul of Shakari to help with chaos damage

Your pick order is the next: Rapid Assault -> Quartz Infusion -> Avatar of the Veil -> Avatar of the Chase. If you want more speed, choose avatar of the chase as a second option. If you want more damage, change Quartz Infusion and Avatar of the Veil for the Frenzy nodes, but you will be more squishy so I don´t recommend do this, only for the advance players that want a glass cannon build

Cause the leveling it's very personal I will give some tips for new players like it's the beginning of a league and we don't have any unique objects (you will need use all passive regrets points obtained in the quest, because you will level like a elemental bow character). You have this tips in the notes of Path of Building.

Level 1-2
G-G: Burning Arrow (BA) +Pierce

Best base weapon: Crude Bow


Level 2-12
G-G-G: Caustic+Mirage Archer (MA) + Onslaught (Ons)
G-G: BA/Puncture+Added Cold
G: Dash (Smoke Mine)
G: Precision

Get the quicksilver flask in the Mercy Mission (go to Tidal Island and kill the boss, he will drop the medicine chest).

Change base weapon to short or long bow if you don't have a rare nice crude bow with flat elemental damage. Essence of hatred is the best now, but contempt is good too. Save essence of greed for amour and woe for quiver.


Level 12-15
G-G-G: Rain of Arrows (RoA)+ Added Cold Damage (AC)+ Onslaught
G-G: Puncture+MA
G: Smoke Mine
G: Precision (stop leveling around the level 9 of the gem)

Get your second quicksilver flask.

Composite Bow if the best base bow now. Essence of Anger and Hatred best to use, but i reccomend save it for later unless you will lacking damage.


Level 16-23
G-G-G: RoA+AC+Ons
G-G-G: Puncture + MA+ Faster Attacks (FA)
G: Smoke Mine
G: Precision
G: HoI (Herald of Ice)
B: HoT (Herald of Thunder)
G: Blood Rage (BR)

If lacking damage do the quest of Yeena (Through Sacred Ground) when you do the trial of that zone: pick survival Secrets jewel

Kill all bandits.

Best bow is Bone bow, but Recurve Bow is pretty good if you have some critical chance.


Level 24-35
G-G-G-R: RoA+AC+EA+FA (Rain of Arrows, Added Cold Damage, Elemental Damage with Attacks and Faster Attacks)
G-G-G-R: SA+EA+FA+MA (Scourge Arrow, Elemental Damage with Attacks, Faster Attacks and Mirage Archer)
G: Smoke Mine
G: Precision
G: HoI
B (side weapon): HoT
G: BR
B: Wrath (if can't run because out of mana, use HoT instead).

Royal Bow is pretty good, because give you some elemental damage, so normally is the best bow now and you can use a essence on it if you find a nice one with 4L sockets.
If you have a essence of wrath, use it. If you have one prefix free, you can craft more damage when you kill Piety, +add x fire damage to attacks in the work bench (4 transmute needed). Use this recipe in the amulets or gloves too for more damage.


Normal Trial: Rapid Assault (movement and clear speed).


Level 36 - 50

Upgrade Ele Resist (reach 75% if possible)

G-G-G-R: RoA+AC+EA+FA -------> If 5L: G-G-G-R-B (RoA+AC+EA+FA+Added Lightning) or G-G-G-R-R (RoA+AC+EA+FA+Added Fire) or G-G-R-R-B (RoA+AC+EA+AF+AL)
G-G-G-R: SA+EA+MA+FA
G: Smoke Mine
G: Precision
G: HoI
G: BR
B: Wrath
G/B: Lightning or Ice Golem

Jewels of optional King's Feast mission: Assassin Haste for leveling or Poacher's Aim (for swap to KB) mapping clearspeed until get Anomalous KB.

In act 6 take all gems needed for KB and PS and leveling in your secondary weapons (2 wands for example).

In act 7 take diamond flask.

Best Bow until 50 could be your Royal Bow with nice stats, a nice Reflex Bow (cause give you mov speed) or a Sniper Bow if you have now a better crit chance.


Cruel Trial: Quartz Infusion more safety (recommended path) or Avatar of the Chase for more speedy. I recommend do it before Arakali, but if you are struggling, do it after the fight.


Level 51-65

Upgrade Resist 75% and Life about 2400

G-G-G-R: RoA+AC+EA+FA -------> If 5L: G-G-G-R-B (RoA+AC+EA+FA+Added Lightning) or G-G-G-R-R (RoA+AC+EA+FA+Added Fire) or G-G-R-R-B (RoA+AC+EA+AF+AL)
G-G-G-R: SA+EA+MA+FA
G: Smoke Mine
G:Precision
G: HoI
G: BR
B: Wrath
G: Ice Golem

Now the best bow could be a Highborn Bow until you swap for KB/PS or find another best bow. Steelwood Bow is pretty good for some mov speed too.
Nice craft with essence will help a lot with your final leveling. Best essence for bow now: Wailing essence of Wrath, Hatred or Anger. For gloves (if you need more damage before resist or life) use: Wailing essence of Torment, Suffering, Anguish, Zeal or Loathing.



Merciless Trial: Avatar of the Veil


Level 65-70

Swap weapon: Start using wand and could farm Aquaduct to find Tabula or buy a corrupted 6L if you prefer. When you cap ele resist and have nice clear, go to maps.
If you didn't find a nice wand, use a (Screaming if you have it, but you can't find one until go to maps) essence of wrath on it (normally a good base of wand in league start is a Opal Wand with the passive on the three Wandslinger).

B-R-R-G-(B): Kinetic Blast (KB)+ Elemental Damage with Attacks +Inspiration +Greater Multiple Projectiles (+ AL if thunderfist and Poacher's Aim feels like 6L). When you can change KB for Anomalous KB and remove Poacher's Aim Jewel.

G-G-B-G: Smoke Mine+Second Wind+Flame Dash+Blood Rage

B-B-B/G: Wave of Conviction + Arcanist Brand + Conductivity (recommended) or Snipers Mark.
G-G: Vaal Grace - Vaal Haste

Tytykiller have a good video leveling a character bow, so here you can se how to level until maps. I advice you, he use a diferent tree that mine, he has more damage, but you will need regrets orbs to change the tree for the wander version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UmGoa9J2os&t=14264s

1. If you try to do leveling fast, don´t stay long time in town or hideout, don't play the league encounters and prepare your rute of gems and leveling. You can watch Tytykiller to learn about that.

2. Ritual league is very helpful with the new players, because it give you exalts and some currency that for the newest could be very hard to achieve. When you do the ritual, the top-left options are the expensive ones or the deffered items, so if you want a item that appear 2 or more times, pick de cheaper (bottom-right) unless the expensive have better stats ore more quantity in the relation cost per unit. Big tip about the ritual. Normally you when you reach at least 4000 units to spend in the ritual the best you can do is reroll trying to find a exalted orb o some nice divination cards. Only reroll if you have items or currency equal to the value of 2 chaos. If
you have enought points you can defer the item you want in this line and reroll to try defer again a valuable item.

3. Try to expend the maven ascendancy (engame content) to boost your quantity of mobs, like more legion o harbinger encounter, it helps a lot with some nice quantity maps and leveling your character.

4. Don´t expend currency leveling, or try not to use a lot, only when it's mandatory. Don't trade either currency like fus or alteration unless you do not use them. I recomend trade with low tier maps when you have enough and use your currency to do some craft and try to sell good items. Guides that can help: English: Spanish:

5. When you do this build, prioritize resist, the mandatory unique items and your clear speed setup (TS), then continue upgrading your barrage setup and damage.

6. The flask are very important, so try to use the correct prefix and suffix, will help a lot with damage and some trouble situations.

7. With the ritual, delirium and some incubator, the player generate a lot of fossil without going to the delve, so you can achieve a lot of fossil with help a lot with your crafting doing only delve for resonator. The harvest and the essence can help you a lot too. Search some information about crafting and learn all you can, it's very helpfull, both to make your items and to understand how much an object should be worth in the market.

8. All the low level essence that you find, use it to upgrade your items during your leveling.

9. Don´t have fear to spend currency, lost time farming and fail in the crafting, try to learn first and understand what you are doing, if you play, you will get enough currency sometime.

10. Try to join in a discord channel or guild that can help you. Path of Exile is normally a solo game, but people can help you with questions and the group play it's fun if your computer can support it.

11. I will post some tools that may be useful to you. There are some, not all that exist, so as you learn about the game, look for more. a) PoE-TradeMacro: It's a macro (it's legal use macros in poe) help a lot with the price of the market and doing fast check to the price. b) PoEdb: a page that can help you with the craft. Very usefull. c) PoEMap: when you don't want spend some currency and need some maps, you can use this tool to trade your maps for another without currency. Help a lot doing all the atlas bonus. d) Path of Building Community: the mandatory tool to download the trees and build of another people and testing the numbers. e) PoE Ninja: can help consulting the price of a item and decide whether to wait or not to buy it or sell it. f)Trade-Companion: help you with your trades. I recommend to use it.

12. Do the chaos recipe. Help a lot when you start a new league. The chaos recipe is 1 belt, 2 rings, 1 amulet, 1 helmet, 1 boots, 1 gloves, 1 body armour and 2 one handed weapons or 1 two handed weapon. If all unidentified it will give you 2 chaos. If all are unidentified and 20% quality the recipe obtain 3 chaos. I recomend the recipe for 2 chaos (unidentified) with two handed weapon.

13. Follow the neversink filter loot. You can choose the restriction level follow diferent filters, like the regular for start the league and stric/verystric to the late game: https://www.pathofexile.com/item-filter/ladder/follower

14. If you have some doubt or think that the guide could be change in some way, post your comment.

15. Some streamers and youtubers that can help you: Tytykiller, PoeMath, Steelmage, mbXtreme, Mathil, Zizaran, Esoro, Jaamon... For the spanish community: xTai Gaming, KokoOP, ADN Gamer, makupower,BilalDelValle.
