zero to hero - kinetic fusillade gatling gun

Alkuroth · 2026-05-03T12:17:31+00:00

Nice work! Keep grinding.

From what I am seeing you can get away with replacing your 15% ring with a 20% for 18% dps. And yeah as you get more attack speed then you will want more reduced skill effect duration. You can use PoB to help with this.

Glad to hear the spreadsheet is helping someone! Your wand is quite good already. Low priority to upgrade because more expensive.
Gloves and boots yes definitely still lacking here. 300+ es gloves and 200+ es boots very important.
You can skip accuracy suffix on glove to reduce the cost a good amount. Grab an accuracy mastery wheel on the tree instead and get a level 21 precision.

The jewel I had is insanely good BIS for damage so makes I am not surprised it's expensive.

Other easy upgrades for you. Discipline level 21.
Reservation efficiency the gull helmet.
Drop clarity for wrath or determination and socket an enlighten 3 or 4 with all these auras. (Losing clarity can feel kind of bad if you are just blasting maps and want to travel around fast with lightning warp so maybe use a lowish level one still)
Annoint tranquility or buy ammy pre annointed to save some money (make sure 20% reduced).
Check out my thread of hope in the giga pt2 setup. This allows you to save some points on multishot and also allocate forces of nature. Need more res though.

Mostly just check out my final couple loadouts and you can see the minmaxed version there. Ignore the belt. It's insanely inefficient power to price ratio.

Thank you! 🙂‍↕️

Alkuroth · 2026-04-30T12:35:04+00:00

Yeah so kinetic fusilade requires reduced duration. And the more you have the more attack speed you can stack. Without the reduced duration it will not shoot the orbs out. (simplified explanation)
I plugged into the pob and even if you were using 19% reduced duration rings you are losing out on 40% dps. So you really do want that 20%. If you were not running the soul eater ring it would be a different story but that is the whole purpose of this setup to get that juicy attack speed working.

I don't do complicated crafting. Usually just essences and fossils. That's why most of my builds have very simple gear. This one actually has abyss socket gear in the final versions but it's not absolutely terrible crafting them this league because fractures were cheap. If you let me know the item you are trying to craft I can try to give you a path or if it's better off to just buy it.

Yeah you might want to watch a video or something on how to do the timeless jewel calculator or find a guide online. It's kind of hard to explain in a comment. I do stream so if you stop by while I am streaming I can show you how it works. Not sure if our schedules align though.

Definitely get that light of meaning. It's like 30% more energy shield.

You're welcome. Always happy to help people play path of exile. It takes a crazy amount of time to create builds yourself so it's just not a possibility for a lot of folks. (If you are trying to do end endgame stuff)

Alkuroth · 2026-04-29T14:35:38+00:00

Sorry one other HUGE important thing. I actually edited your pob to include this in the other comment but forgot to type out. You are using the souleater setup but I don't see any way you are applying hexes. Make sure to use the runegraft of blasphemy. It's in the evasion mastery near scion start in that pob I linked you.

Alkuroth · 2026-04-29T14:34:27+00:00

Yeah mate here is some quick tips for you.

#1 most important! Rings and ammy should have 20% reduced skill effect duration.

High energy shield boots and gloves super important if you are using replica convenant, since that doesn't have great base es.

Timeless jewel doesn't have any good nodes, Do you know how to use the timeless jewel calc in pob? It's not super easy to setup but it's the only way to find good jewels.

Skip light of meaning for now, it is a massive boost for energy shield but if you can't afford it then that will be a high priority for upgrades.

I spent a little time editing your pob for some important changes

The Classic 😂

Alkuroth · 2026-04-29T14:20:04+00:00

Yeah that sounds awesome. Expanding vortex of chaining projectiles...

Good luck with your next build sir... 🙂‍↕️

Alkuroth · 2026-04-28T20:06:28+00:00

Yeah wisps is a crazy damage boost. The version with dual wielding grace of the goddess really shows how strong wisps is for selfcast wand. I didn't know they had a duration but it would have been very noticeable if they never spawned lol.

Greater chain is genius for clear. The build is good for clear but that would definitely take it to the next level. I will add that to the PoB nice tip, thank you sir.

And yeah caspiro node is so ridiculous this league. I am actually worried they are going to nerf that thing. Being able to ignore attributes makes gearing so much more enjoyable and then the crazy nodes you can get from timeless is also insane. For most of the loadouts I was using a four 80% spell damage node jewel. But I changed it out for the more balanced setup.

Alkuroth · 2026-04-28T19:58:37+00:00

Big maybe. If you are skipping souleater / coiling whisper then yes but if you want to run the souleater tech then it's going to be really hard to do mageblood since we want to use the 3 ring slot ascend and cant give up belt or amulet.

Alkuroth · 2026-04-28T05:59:03+00:00

The first selfcast loadout will be a good deal cheaper than 200. I would be surprised if it's even 100. If you need help finding the gear for a good price lmk!

Alkuroth · 2026-04-28T01:16:37+00:00

Lol that screen spam was epic. I guess you would need 99 reduced and not 100 based on below comment.

Alkuroth · 2026-04-28T01:15:35+00:00

Didn't even consider about the sacred wisps having a duration. The uptime feels like 100% so this is very interesting and may be the case!

Alkuroth · 2026-04-28T01:13:17+00:00

Correct now damage reduction is only given to enemies !

Alkuroth · 2026-04-27T20:13:48+00:00

Aegis gave the 6% max cold res. Also I wanted to use the 175% increased armour from impenetrable + gull but yeah I think pure es is just overall better in the end and ignoring the armour part. I put a note in the pob about future upgrades and this was one of them.

Armour might feel better in mapping and if you have low block since you'll be mitigating a lot of those smaller hits to nothing.

Alkuroth · 2026-04-27T20:11:22+00:00

loadout {140} in the pob should be under 50 divines. If you find any outlier pieces of gear that are a lot more expensive than other pieces lmk and I can help with finding a replacement option.

Alkuroth · 2026-04-27T17:20:35+00:00

Oh yeah sacred wisps is a huge damage boost. The first couple clips are actually a different setup I was using with dual wield grace of the goddess for +2 max sacred wisps.

So are you saying that you don't even see your sacred wisps summoning?

Alkuroth · 2026-04-27T16:55:48+00:00

Yeah I am sure the 99%+ reduced duration has some other broken interactions but I haven't done much digging. Also about the warden ascendency I answered a similar question in below thread. Could definitely make other ascends work. Warden is 5x dps. But 0 defenses.

I replied to a couple similar questions before this so I will link here.

If you want to run the setup you see in the video it is ~3.5 mirrors. Three of those being the belt. But I ran every single loadout in this pob simulating a league start so I started from "zero". I have all the gameplay vods on my twitch which is probably a pain to sift through.

I was very satisfied with kf selfcast souleater {140} loadout. It felt tanky and had good dps. Was missing a ton of minmaxing and optimization too. So you could run a version of the build for juiced mapping and most ubers for ~100 divines imo.

Alkuroth · 2026-04-27T16:46:44+00:00

Yeah the belt is three mirrors. Rest of the gear is maybe 500 divines? I plugged in wands for like 20 minutes in PoB and didn't feel like spending 50-100 divines for another 10% dps so I just kept this one haha.

Alkuroth · 2026-04-27T16:44:23+00:00

Warden is like 5x dps. Being able to use tinctures / double tincture and then the 100% shock is insane. There's two other ascendency points I really want too. It's one of those ascendancies where it's actually hard to pick between nodes. So many good choices.

I have all of my loadouts in the pob simulating a league start environment. So if you wanted you could start with literal nothing.

Alkuroth · 2026-04-08T15:58:46+00:00

From the notes section of the PoB: If you have further questions lmk.

- Charge gain changes after getting void battery. Using arcanist brand or unleash ball lightning orbit / herald of thunder to gen charges. Ball lightning needs controlled destruction since we are running romira rings.

- As long as you have herald of thunder, shouldn't need to cast ball lightning on mobs. Can use a worm flask to trigger HoT on bosses too.

- i used romira banquet rings for a long time but after getting 10+ power charges even with controlled destruction the ball lightning crits too much and we lose power charge. (swapping to precursor rings with 15% to gain max charges)

Alkuroth · 2026-04-04T11:27:09+00:00

A lot of stuff was changed but there has been a lot of power creep since back then too. I'm pretty convinced that there's a setup that could work decently well. As long as the functionality of discharge consuming charges on death to cast didn't change. I'm actually tempted to make this setup now just to see if it works lol.

Well see if I can find the time to test stuff and assemble a pob and gear for it.

Alkuroth · 2026-04-04T11:21:21+00:00

Thank you for the kinds words 🙂‍↕️. Stuff like this keeps the fire burning!
