↖ Ascendancy

Ricochet, Endless Munitions, Gathering Winds, Focal Point

 

↖ Gear

• Bow: Ideally, look for a bow with around 800 Elemental DPS, 8% base crit chance, and a base attack speed of 1.55 attacks per second. A 5-link bow is sufficient.
• Helmet: Prioritize a helmet with Grace and increased Mana reservation efficiency. Craft it with life and Fizz taken as fire for your implicit.
• Quiver: Seek a quiver with substantial projectile speed, attack speed, crit multi, and either flat damage or life.
• Amulet: Use Harry's Truth and allocate expertise for 30 dexterity.
• Rings: Aim for Mana cost on both rings to sustain your skills. Prioritize damage and resistances.
• Chest Piece: A 6-link Lightning Coil provides 50% physical damage taken as lightning, offering significant defenses.
• Gloves: These can be costly but provide extra damage. Look for ones with increased damage against chilled enemies and attack speed.
• Belt: Find a fractured belt with damage and attack base and use chaos resistance Essences to balance resistances.
• Boots: Standard life, movement speed, and resistances are sufficient.
• Flasks: Recommended flasks include Atziri's Promise, a Jade flask with evasion, a Diamond flask with crit chance, a quicksilver flask with attack speed, and a life flask.

 

↖ Skill Tree

• Focus on typical bow cluster nodes, crit nodes, and critical strike chance against blinded enemies.
• Consider taking movement speed nodes for map clearing speed.
• Allocate strength and intelligence as needed on gear and the tree to support gem requirements.

 

↖ Jewels

• Use an 8-passive cluster jewel like Calamitous Fuels the Fight for big damage.
• Slot in Streamlined and Repeater medium cluster jewels for additional passives.
• Aim for attack speed, life, and crit stats on other jewels.

 

↖ Anointments

Anoint a 30 dexterity node and add The Berserker on it for Onslaught on hit.

 

↖ Gem Links

• Main 6-link: Tornado Shot, Increased Crit Damage, Inspiration, GMP (Greater Multiple Projectiles), Trinity Support, and Elemental Damage with Attacks.
• Use a 5-link setup for additional projectiles: Lightning Arrow, Ensnaring Arrow, Manifold Arrows, Burning Arrow, and Inspiration.
• In your bow, set up a 5-link Manifold setup: Lightning Arrow, Power Charge on Crit, Inspiration, Manifold Arrows, and Frenzy.
• Cast Aura and Marks: Purity of Elements, Sniper's Mark, Lifetap Support, and Mark.

 

↖ Atlas Strategy

Atlas Tree: https://poeplanner.com/a/TqC

• Prioritize Mausoleum and Glacier maps for Ultra farming.
• Allocate all map drop nodes and Shrine nodes.
• Care Act nodes are optional and can be considered for boss rushing strategies.

 

↖ Playstyle and Currency Farming

• Run Mausoleum and Glacier maps for currency farming.
• Always select the Minion reward option on Alters for guaranteed currency.
• Every 14th and 28th map, consider killing the boss for a valuable invitation drop (Searing Exile's Invitation).
• Keep your map tab organized with Mausoleum and Glacier maps for efficient farming.
