[Guide] PATHFINDER - SHATTERING CONCOCTION (Afana)
|
Introduction
Hello everyone! I’m Afana, a content creator for Path of Exile 1 and 2. I hope you enjoy this build! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out during my live streams or on Discord. This build is one of the strongest and easiest for leveling, and it’s performing amazingly well in the endgame. Here are all the details you need. Leveling: Class: Ranger Early Levels (up to level 22-26): -Use any bow skill of your choice. -Focus on the passive tree for projectile damage and movement speed. Ascendancy: -After defeating Balbala the Traitor, choose Pathfinder. -Take the node related to Shattering Concoction. About Shattering Concoction: -This is a class-specific skill. -No need to worry about support gem slots as its level and links scale with your level automatically. Recommended Support Gems (in order of priority): -Scattershot -Cold Infusion -Martial Tempo -Cold Mastery -Ice Bite This skill excels in both clear and boss fights. Focus on boosting your survivability and managing flask charges efficiently while leveling to the endgame. Items and Rolls: Main Hand: Widowhail-270%+ "Bonuses Quiver" Quiver (Off Hand): Recommended Mods: -+2 All Projectile -10%+ Attack Speed -30%+ Critical Strike Chance -30%+ Critical Strike Multiplier Gloves: Idle Hands or Hand of Wisdom Ring: Glowswarm Belt: Shavronne's Satchel or Keelhaul Flasks Mod: 0.25 Charges per Second 65+% Increased Amount Other Items: -High Evasion -Life -Resistance Cap -Energy Shield, if possible Auras Recommended: -Alchemist's Boon -Wind Dancer -Herald of Ice -Grim Feast Tip: If you get a Body Armor with 50 Spirit, activate Ghost Dance. Curses and Marks: Hypothermia + Voltaic Mark Mini-Max: -Use Emerald Jewels with "Bonuses Quiver" modifiers. -Ensure the combined bonus from these jewels reaches at least 50%. Pathfinder Mechanics: -The Enduring Elixirs passive allows life flasks to regenerate even at full life. -When combined with the Shavronne's Satchel belt, this also applies to Energy Shield. Note: To activate the life flask, you need to lose life. Therefore, one of your skills should consume life. Passive Tree (only Lvl 92): https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/10a27c39-7021-426a-acca-987d37e233ae/builds/c8925449-7958-4fc4-abdf-5be779a88a33 Final Thoughts: This is the basics of the build. For more details, including the passive tree or additional insights, check out my video or wait for the complete PoB. Thank you for trying out my build, and good luck in Path of Exile!

Your gameplay looked pretty good. Interested in seeing a tree and how it progresses for you.

oh now this looks interesting. I loved explosive concoction pathfinder and ice crash ranger on PoE1 and this looks like a combination of the 2!

Well this is amazing so far, finished the campaign and jumped straight into T8 without even capping my resistances or stacking ES yet, which is obviously my next focus!
What neck enchant are you using? It looks like you've got some quite long passive skill chains in your most recent build and I was wondering if there's room to optimise there? Thanks again for the awesome build |
|
" so the tree in mobalystics doesnt show what the attribute nodes are chosen ass is this an oversight or does moba just not do this? also is is possible to make step by step tree to what to get first etc? thx u for the build seems cool gonna try it! |

Hail to the king!!!
Build braba!!! |

Are the flat damage rolls on quivers not bonuses? How much Dex and int do you stack?
I struggle a bit with imagining how you cap resis for cheap, if 3 item slots are unique |
|
|
I watched your video, when your health is low you use potions and get a damage buff. But where does the damage buff come from? I couldn't figure it out.

" There is a passive node that gives damage while Flasking. + this build is just bug abusing with the Unique Bow giving %+ increases to quiver stats. Once the fix comes, this build will be bricked. Last edited by SomeSome#2539 on Jan 3, 2025, 2:58:34 PM

I'm not sure how this guy's build is exploiting a bug. I'm running shattering concoction with ice shot and escape shot and it's a good build. I'm not using any of the items he suggests.
