3.27 Kinetic Blast of Clustering (KBoC) Hierophant
|
Haven't seen any updated post for 3.27 on this build and its variants, so figured I would start a compilation of resources.
To be clear, none of these are my own builds. I will post my current POB and future iterations, with the caveat that this is my first time playing KBoC, and I am surely not optimized. 3.27 Buffs: Kinetic Blast of Clustering: Received straight up damage buff with an increase in the percent of mana as damage on the gem. Bloodlines Ascendancy: The Farrul bloodline Huntleader gave Hierophant a solid option for its 4th ascendancy option, effectively adding 125% crit chance and 35% attack speed. Squalling Tulgraft: Adds +1 to your tornados, a huge single target damage boost.

Foulborns: Several good foulborns, at both the high and low end of investment.

League Starter: Icenova of Frostbolts.

Used for entire atlas progression and into early T16 farming. Solid clear and easy to gear. <insert POB> Kinetic Blast of Clustering Transition: Shield variant

I waited until I had about 10d to spend before making the transition, and went straight into Chaos Inoculation, which is generally advisable, but I had a really nice Twilight Regalia from the Genesis Tree to help out. I initially went rare wand, which is significantly cheaper than a well rolled Grace of the Goddess.

Q & A
Right now I have more questions than answers, but will update this into a Q & A as I learn. Questions for the Community: 1. What do you feel is an accurate POB config for KBoC. I currently use 10k mana recently spent and x10 on KBoC explosions. 2. Snipers Mark or Assassins Mark? “Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.” Last edited by Piousqd#0073 on Nov 24, 2025, 3:08:33 PM

" Once you get the overcapped lightning resist chestplate as crit chest you don't really need assassins mark anymore. But before that in my pob it still says snipers mark is better also i think 10x clustering seems a bit over inflated, if I recall sebK uses 2 in his config but tbh its really hard to calculate. I think best practice is to just keep explosions as a consistent variable and watch the numbers go up Currently using 20k recently spent mana Last edited by Kiearon#6867 on Nov 25, 2025, 5:56:01 AM
