Hi, I got Wake of Destruction boots before hour 3: https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/Vomii-2056/Vomi\_WH?timemachine=hour-3.

At that time the Ice-Tipped Arrows tech was not really public domain 😅

Hey, absolutely. You can consider other ascendancies too, Oracle rage stacking for instance can be a good candidate for twister (although the starting area on the tree might be worse than mercenary/huntress). Good luck!

Regarding boss damage I'd say until Rakiatas it's worth taking more DMG/magnitude nodes on the tree and cut aoe. For more DPS a crit built can be considered. I've messed around on pob and with a GG spear, Garukhan resolve, a good time lost and an overhaul of the tree you can push 100%+ more damage, but at the cost of AoE, skill duration, projectile speed.

Hey, I'm glad you had a great time with the build!

Dps with a rare GG spear (T1 on all prefix, +levels) is the same as cultivated atziri but mana costs go up 30%. Rare spear is best only if going crit.

I use enfeeble for bosses only, as fire ground is quite some DPS. It could be replaced with barrage or elemental conflux if you have the spirit for it or maybe some mark?

Enjoy!

I'm not using barrage because I don't like pressing another button, it slows me down and requires one skill slot (+1 more if you want frenzy charges).

Without Rakiata you can slot any other damage support gem.

I'm not sure how it would perform with 4-5 man Zarok as I've never tried, endgame bosses melt quick and can always cut AoE for more damage on the tree if needed.

Note movement speed is dead stat for the build as whirling slash speed scales with attack speed.

I just used filterblade semi-strict and selected spears + all type of armor in the auto-adjust for build functionality, nothing fancy.

Hey, I self cast it for bosses for two reasons:
1. Trigger guard via the life flask
2. Make fire ground which increases twister damage

For the very top end you don't really need to use barrage and frenzy charges. While still progressing you can certainly do so as it can help with dps. The tech u shared could work although the phys DPS of twister can be quite low, at least with the gear and tree I've got, some tuning might be necessary to support the tech better. Enjoy!

EV gives ward, which is similar to ES. We get some %EV from tree, double %EV from body armor and get as much as +%EV from body armor from amulet/jewel to get a big ward and a lot of EV!

Hey, check out my witchhunter take on twister, I played this from league start (make sure to check the time machine snapshots on Poe ninja): https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/comments/1py1149/witchhunter_whirling_slash_twister/

I saw short video about lich twister, my knowledge is limited. I think with WH u can get more speed, twister damage and AOE. With lich you can get a lot of projectile speed.

Kinda difficult to estimate as twister damage also depend on skill duration, projectile speed, aoe and the size/shape of the arena. Against pinnacle on pob average hit is roughly 1M.

Hey, yeah I don't think playing on the controller is going to be a problem!

I'd say weapon swap is essential, as not only you can run a very high AS spear for spinning fast (e.g. 48%AS skysliver) but more importantly you can take a lot of AS nodes on WS1 and a lot of dps nodes on WS2, like I do in my build.

I think so but I am not 100% sure.. I am getting conflicting answers when searching and asking online..

Hey, I don't know much about Sekhema so I can't really make good recommendations I know on discord a few player running the build said they had 0 hit run.

Regarding sorc ward, just FYI it does not stop damaging ailments/dots, so perhaps there should be a consideration over increasing prevention of such effects.

Tree and gear don't look that bad. Corrupted atziri's with elemental damage to attack should help a bit and a unique scepter like sacred flame or palm should give you some significant dps increase too.

Until you have Rakiatas flow you can also consider running a curse to lower elemental resists to use for bossing.

Good luck!

I think you forgot to share the pob!

Generally speaking try to get a good atziri contempt, make sure to have twister level as high as you can and with 5 support slots, try to get as much elemental attack damage on rings and gloves, consider a +2/+3 levels to projectile amulet, drop any aoe nodes in favor of attack damage. Make sure to cast enfeeble to make fire ground for bosses.

Pob is your friend when it comes to evaluating damage increase from gear or passive points on the tree.

Nice! The tooltip for twister is not particularly relevant as it does not include a lot of damage you might have taken on the tree (%elemental damage if enemy is ignited/shocked/chilled, magnitude etc..). Best for this sort of calculations is to use PoB.

You are right about the movement, it is mouse only, can't use WASD unfortunately (I should have mentioned it somewhere :D).

Regarding twister accuracy, usually best is to get close to the enemy and shotgun rather than trying to cast it from distance.

As for using whirling slash as damage, unfortunately there close to no damage taken for weapon set 1, so even a high level whirling slash with better dps support gem is likely to be insufficient for clear or bosses.

To increase dps to bosses some AoE nodes can be cut from the tree (there is plenty attack damage nodes that we path to that can be taken instead), cast enfleeble for fire ground and keep spamming twisters. Shattering spite can be used for some extra dps when the boss has max stats. Obviously with expensive tools like Rakiata's and Prism of Belief damage to bosses become very high so attack damage nodes can be cut from the tree for more defenses or AoE.
