okaymmo:[Lake of Kalandra] PoE 3.19 Raider Lightning Strike League Starter Build
If you are looking for a starter build that can (very) quickly farm high level maps to progress your Atlas, build up a lot of currency and is super fun to play then this PoE 3.19 Raider Lightning Strike League Starter Build might be right for you
Pros & Cons
- + FUN!!!!!
- + Great clear speed
- + Amazing burst damage
- + Tanky
- + Very fast movement Speed
- + Good linear progression and can be min-maxed to good levels
- + Quick to maps (5 hours is easily achievable at League Start)
- + SSF Viable
- - Melee not to everyone's taste
- - Need to level with a different skill
- - Takes time to master positioning to maximise damage
- - Getting popular so gear can be expensive
Skill Tree
Ascendancy: Quartz Infusion - Avatar of the Veil - Way of the Poacher - Avatar of the Slaughter
Pantheon: Soul of Lunaris or Any you like
Bandit: Kill all or Alira. End Game is 2 skill points but feel free to take Alira if it makes levelling easier
Passive Tree & PoB
Path of Building Link:
Levelling POB (changed on 19/08/2022): https://pobb.in/tbUlolx6yBpv
POB for week 1 gear and higher budget gear(See gearing section for more details): https://pobb.in/nXQ2lrUUZFKr
Gems Setup
6 Link with Hunter Additional Strike Gloves
Vaal Lightning Strike - Nightblade Support - Inspiration Support - Ele Damage with Attacks - Trinity - Added Lightning Damage
6 Link without Hunter Additional Strike Gloves
Vaal Lightning Strike - Nightblade Support - Ancestral Call - Trinity - Added Lightning Damage- Inspiration
Multi Totem
Ancestral Protector - Multi Totem Support - Culling Strike
If you want more boss damage you can add a normal ancestral warchief into this set up but I don't like having to press another button
You can drop culling strike when you get it on the tree or glove
Auras and Curses
Precision - Anger - Determination
Assassins Mark - Mark on Hit Support
You can add defiance banner in later on, but with losing the 15% mastery in 3.19 you really need mana reservation on gear before doing this
Movement Skill
Whirling Blades - Faster Attacks - Flame Dash (Unlinked) - Withering Step (Unlinked)
Withering step is very important as it helps is reset the nightblade elusive buff increasing our damage. Use this skill on LMB/Move
Flame Dash is just used to clear gaps and as a safe movement skill in boss fights
Cast When Damage Taken Setup
CWDT (Level 2) - Molten Shell (Not Vaal (Level 11) - Increased Duration
Feel free to push the CWDT gems higher if you want more mitigation
Gear Setup
This gear is more expensive that you need to clear most content so will be updating soon
YOU WANT TO GET EVASION ON ALL YOUR GEAR. IF YOU CAN RUN PURE EVASION BASES AND SHIELD
Gearing Explained
It can be quite difficult to get all the pieces together so you goal is:
- 6 Link
- Lightning Strike Enchant on Helmet or pierce nodes on tree
- +1 strike Searing Exarch Gloves/Tribal Fury Annointed Amulet
- Lethal Pride
- Blizzard crown (eventually with +3 pierce)
- End Game 6 link (Endurance Charges and Crit Chance)
Weapon
You want an Imperial Claw with:
- Attack Speed (At least 22%)
- Crit Chance
- Elemental Damage (Any type is fine and the more the better)
- Craft Ele penetration if you have a spare prefix
Shield
Ideally on here you want a base that gives movement speed:
- Life
- Block/Spell Suppression (This apparently has much higher rolls in 3.16 up to 16%)
- Max Resistances
- Resists
Body Armour
You have lots of options here. You can go Farruls Fur for instant Power and Frenzy Charges.
My recommendation early on is a Hunter/Elder Chest il84 with Attacks have % chance to crit as this is easy to roll with attack or crit crafts in Harvest. You want like on it and craft 10% of life as Extra Energy Shield (Gravicius Unlock)
Astral Plate
+12% to all Elemental Resistances
+48 to Armour
+116 to maximum Life
+26% to Cold Resistance
Attacks have +1.44% to Critical Strike Chance
Gain 10% of Maximum Life as Extra Maximum Energy Shield
If these are too expensive due to the conqueror changes check out what new influenced mods you can roll that boost DPS
There are lots of other options such as:
- Warlord Socketed Gems -15 Mana Cost
- Power Charge on Hit
- Extra Curse
Gloves
Hunter Gloves item level 80 with Strikes Target 1 Additional Enemy
- Life
- Resistances
- Attack Speed
- Accuracy (Optional)
For end game awakener orb together (Warlord Culling strike + Hunter Additional Strike]
Helmet
Lightning Strike pierces 3 additional Targets
---------------------------------------------------
Adds 76 to 126 Cold Damage
Your Hits treat Cold Resistance as 10% higher than actual value
------------------------------------------------------------------------
+98 to maximum Life
+11% to Fire Resistance
+47% to Cold Resistance
+43% to Lightning Resistance
5% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Fire Damage
BiS will be a Blizzard Helm with Anger Mana reservation (This is needed to get all the auras in):
- Life
- Res
- Crafted Phys Taken as Fire (Korrell Syndicate Unlock)
Second would be a DEX redeemer helmet il 83+ with 10% Phys damage taken as cold
Cheaper option would be any helmet with life, res and then craft using Life Fossils
Boots
Rare Boots with:
Hunter il 80 boots with:
- Projectiles pierce 2 additional targets (Means we dont need lightning strike enchange
- Life
- resists
- Tailwind (Expensive)
Craft movement speed + Onslaught (Syndicate Unlock)
Rings
Mark of The Elder + Shaper il 80+ with Assassins Mark on Hit
Amulet
Rare Amulet which will need STR and INT:
- Life
- Attributes
- Crit Multi
- Ele Damage with Attacks or Flat Ele Damage
* Annoint Prismatic Skin (End Game) or Divine Judgement (Cheap and Strong)
Belt
This is where we need a ton of resists and probably some strength as this will make it cheaper to gear the influenced items as we will not need as much resistances on them.
Cluster Jewels
8 passive attack cluster with:
- Fuel the Fight
- Feed the Fury
- Martial Prowess
Medium
Effect of none damaging ailments:
Stormrider and Overshock
Small Cluster
2 Passive armour cluster with enduring composure
Jewels
Lethal Pride Legion Jewel
We put a Lethal Pride Jewel here. You will need to use Divine Orbs on it to get stats the help us. This jewel randomly allocates extra stats to any notables you have specced on your tree.
You are looking for:
- Intimidate on hit
- Chance to deal double damage
- Life %
- Physical Damage taken as fire damage
If you can both intimidate and double damage that is a huge DPS increase
If you want specific nodes use the tool in POB to find seed numbers and search for these seeds on trade
If these are too expensive just do not run it and get some STR elsewhere
Other Jewels
For other Jewels you want:
- Life
- Critical Strike Multiplier with Lightning Skills
- Critical Strike Multiplier with Elemental Skills
- Attack Speed (With Shield/Claw or one handed Weapon
Any Mix will be good. We are missing 10% ailment avoidance if we do not pick any up on gear, so we can get this as a harvest craft or corrupted implicit on a jewel.
Flasks
I do not run Quicksilver flasks as feel with whirling blades we do not really need more movement speed. I run:
- Jade Flasks for extra Evasion - Try and get increased Evasion as a Suffix
- Silver Flask for Onslaught - Suffix up to you but I recommend Poison
- Atziri's Promise/Sulphur Flask
- Bleeding Life Flask
- Diamond Flask
