[3.14] Champion TS/Barrage Pure Phys - All Content - Begginer's Friendly
Hi, this is my first guide in path of exile, and I will try describe all my decisions. If you have trouble with the reading, i advise that english isn't my first language, so sorry about that. Let's begin:

Spoiler
With the changes of the ascendancy, we lost about a 15% of the damage and some defensive stats. GGG boost our TS, so we lost less damage on clear speed. So now, to reach good damage, we need to invest more currency on the build. With harvest league come back and the rituals we have some ways to do currency more easy than other leagues and the harvest help a lot with our ring, boot, helmet and rare jewels. So the build is still strong and can do all the content. Vs the new maven encounters this build can do it, but maybe now you will need run 1 run life flask replacing it for the quicksilver flask.
3.14:
Spoiler
Still strong, no important changes
Guide changes:
Spoiler
Added a new section with ways of doing currency for new players
1. Introduction This build was made at patch 3.11, but the idea was create a build who had an aceptable league start and was all content viable without tons of investment. If you have any troubles following the guide, don't hesitate and ask in the coments. If you are searching an archer build, with good movility, very good clear speed and aceptable single target damage, this is your build. Very well rounded and very simple build, with nice defences. All people play the new fancy skills, but i like tornado shot (TS) a lot, so i did this build for playing one of my favourite skills, ¡TS isn't dead! This is a pure physical tornado shot/barrage build. If you are searching an elemental version try in the ranger forum (very common cold TS Builds there). 2. Pros and Con Pros + Very fast mapping + Nice movility + Not a squishy archer build + Not need a lot of currency to work + All content viable + Flex tree and gear + Tanky using diferent mechanics (Fortify, Warcry instant speed, "Wind Dancer" passive, Blind...) Cons - Not the best single target damage (need currency for instant delete) - Can't do phys reflect - No regen mana maps are anoying - Expensive min to max - Need some uniques (not the best league starter) 3. Main mechanics (Advanced players can skip this part) Offensive
Spoiler
Tornado shot is a ranged attack skill whick release a shot that releases 3 projectiles in 3 diferent directions. The speed projectile modifies the 3 projectiles duration (more speed projectile + distance = more hits and damage clearing maps). Add projectiles to the skill with gems and items create more arrows, only the helmet enchant modifies the secondary projectiles.
Barrage is another ranged attack skill, in this case the projectiles are fired in a rapidly succession. Increasing the number of projectiles boost your damage effectively Impale is a debuff that deals additional physical damage to the target each time it is hit. It remains 8 seconds or 5 hits without modifiers. With the ascendancy can remain 7 hits and with the watcher eye with pride it can last up to 9. When impale is applie, the target suffers 10% of the pshysical damage before any damage mitigation is applied. Buffing the effect, you can increase this 10%. Bleed is an ailment that deals damage over time. Moving increase the damage taken. Only phsyical damage can inflic bleed. This our secondary damage (first is raw physical damage, lowing defences with impale and other sources). It can't be reduce by armour, but other sources can reduce the effect. Onslaught is a buff that grants 20% increased attack/cast speed and movement speed. The movility can be very defensive too (more easy manual dodge mechanich bosses and do you need less investment in boots if you don't have a lot of currency). Intimidate is another debuff that causes the enemy take 10% increased attack damage, in our case, only on full life of the enemy. Adrenaline is a buff grant with the ascendancy, give us a toon of damage and it's too a very good defensive tool. Defense
Spoiler
Maim is a debuff that applies a 30% reduced movement speed. Duration is 4 sec.
Blind is another debuff that lessens the chance to hit of the affected target by ¡¡50%!! The duration is 4 sec. Fortify is a buff that grants 20% less damage taken from hits. Can allow us facetank some bosses very easily. Phasing allows move throught enemies or abilities, walls created with spikes or things like that, ¡very useful! Duration is 4 sec. Chill is a debuff that applies a slow effect, reducing the animation speed. Knockback is a effect on hit that push enemies away from the target. Because is pushed, that will count like movement, so improve our bleed damage. Wind Dancer is a passive of the tree, and give us a nice boost of evasion when we are hit, and a 20% less damage taken if we haven't been hit recently. 4. Path of Building

5. Gear
Spoiler
Helmet
Spoiler
Here we have to initial options: if you are very fan of TS maybe do you want a enchant with TS fires an additional secondary projectile. That improves your clear speed. If you ares struggling bosses, maybe the "Barrage shoots an additional projectile" could be your best option. I prefer the TS because bosses take me about 10 secs... But if you prefer very quickly kill,you can use this enchant. The helmet should be a rare with good life pool, some resistances and if you have currency a helmet with boost your fortify effect.
Gloves
Spoiler
I use haemophilia gloves
Spoiler
link to the gloves:https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Haemophilia
Boots
Spoiler
Body Armour
Spoiler
For enhancing our life pool we will use the kaoms heart, very cheap this league. You can corrupt it with +1% all maximum resistances if you have enought currency. If you reach 5000 of life or you are comfortable with less life you can use the Farrul's Fur for most damage and an unset ring with less duration suport for perma power and frenzy charges. You can use the Replica of Farrul's Fur too, more defensive I think. This options are very expensive for new players, so keep that in mind.
Spoiler
Link for Kaoms Heart: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Kaom%27s_Heart Link for Farrul's Fur: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Farrul%27s_Fur
Bow
Spoiler
We are using weapon swap, TS in one and in the other barrage for single target. You can kill easily tier 16 using only TS, but for conquerors and Sirus barrage is better. You can combine both if you use Mirrage archer linked to the TS to boost your damage while dodging. The bow for TS should be Slivertongue, with Ringwalds Quiver allow us fork and pierce, improving our damage and clear speed. Chin Sol is the best option for Barrage.
Spoiler
The link for both are here: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Chin_Sol https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Slivertongue
Quiver
Spoiler
We will use Rigwald's Quills with TS for fork and improve our clear speed. With Barrage we need a rare quiver with life (some resist would be nice if you strugle that) and some damage boost (projectile damage, crit chance, crit multiplier...), but the most important thing is the implicit of Point Blank, that will improve our damage. If you have currency can try bought one with an additional arrow. Same for Rigwald's Quills.
Spoiler
Link to Rigwald's Quill: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Rigwald%27s_Quills
Rings
Spoiler
We need use Venopuncture for chilling enemies (one of our defensive tools) and keep battle vs porcupines safe. Also our bleed damage would be better, but we will need the immunity to chill from boots to counter the ability of the ring that chill us when we are bleeding. The other ring will be rare and will cap our resistances and life, but if you want can improve our damage adding flat physical damage or reducing the cost of skills for using more auras (a expensive and tricky option, because you have to manage very nice your resistances. 108% in all resistances will keep you ever with 76% elemental res, 109% if you use +1% maximum all resistances from chest corruption. Keep that in mind, because I don´t like to depend on flask).
Spoiler
Link to venopuncture: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Venopuncture
Amulet
Spoiler
The very cheap option is Hyrri's Truth, offering you flat damage, precision skill with 50% mana reservation and boosting your crit multiplier. A anoint with Rampart for more tankiness and damage (best option) or constitution for more life if you needed. Could use discipline and training until you have enought currency for the anoint.Aul's Uprising would be a expensive option, improving our damage (more auras) and our defensives. Link to the amulets: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Hyrri%27s_Truth https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Aul%27s_Uprising
Belt
Spoiler
I use perseverance for perma onslaught. It's useful for movility, more damage and some boost on defenses. I like a lot this option, but if you prefer can use a rare stygian vise with toons of life, resis and some damage boost.
Spoiler
Link to perseverance : https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Perseverance
Flask
Spoiler
I don't use life flask, only for leveling. With the warcry and our life leech we will be fine in the most of situations. If you want can use a life flask with staunching on it. I use 2 Quicksilver flask (one with "Alchemist's" and "Adrenaline" on it, and the other with staunching), Dying Sun for improve our damage (2 additional projectiles), a Diamond flask (with "Heat") and a Granite Flask (with "Warding"). You can use a silver flask if you don't wanna use the perseverance belt.
Spoiler
Link to Dying Sun: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Dying_Sun. Link to the normal flask and their modifiers (search prefix and suffix for modifiers): https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Flask
Jewels
Spoiler
Cause the intention of the build is don't expend toons of currency, i will don't use cluster jewels, but if you like it you can use it. Only Lioneye's Fall is mandatory. Improve our damage, give us life and mana leech and give us 10% blind on crit and phasing. You can use Watcher eye with "impale you inflict last 2 additional hits using pride" (now it's expensive, so you don't have to worrie if you can use it, the build should be doing well). If you have some good rare jewels you can upgrade your tree to the jewel's hole. You will search life, resistance and damage (like increased damage with bows or flat damage if you use abbys jewels).
Spoiler
Link to Lioneye's Fall: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Lioneye%27s_Fall
6. Gems
Spoiler
Follow the order in which they are written. It is the order of preference:
Spoiler
Main Clear Skill: Tornado Shot + Greater Multiple Projectiles/Awakened Grater Multiple Projectiles + Impale + Brutality/Awakened Brutality + Vicious Projectiles + Maim/Mirrage Archer
Spoiler
Main Single Target Skill: Barrage + Impale + Brutality/Awakened Brutality + Vicious Projectiles + Hyphotermia + Maim
Spoiler
Auras: Pride + Dread Banner + Flesh and Stone/Herald of Purity + Enlighten
Spoiler
Defensive and movility:Dash + Blink Arrow + Enduring Cry + Second Wind
Spoiler
Free slots (i use this spaces for leveling other gems, like a second TS for corruption): Ice Golem + Blood Rage + Ensnaring Arrow + Vaal Molten Shell
Remember that Vulnerability is in yours gloves and Precision in your amulet (improve your acurracy and your crit a lot, very useful, near 100% chance to hit). Enlighten level 4 is only needed if you want use 4 auras and without aul's uprising (for example, Pride + Precision from amulet + Flesh and Stone/Herald of Purity + Dread Banner. If you have Aul's you don't need Enlighten and you can use Pride + Precision + Flesh and Stone + Herald of Purity + Dread Banner. If you like use Enduring Cry at normal speed (instant speed with "Call to Arms") you can have an additional time to use it (like 2 potion charges). I prefer instant speed for don't interrupt the barrage attack vs bosses. PS: All gems with level 21 and quality 23 are the best option, but 20/20 (or 5/20 for awakened) still pretty nice. 7. Bandits, Pantheon and Ascendancy Bandits:
Spoiler
The best option is help alira, keep safe our resistances, hel with crit multiplier and the mana regen isn't bad. You can kill all if you will use cluster jewells.
Pantheon:
Spoiler
Major God: Soul of Lunaris for clearing and Soul of Solaris for bosses. For chaos bosses Soul of Arakaali
Minor God:Soul of Ryslatha for leveling and labyrinth and Soul of Tukohama to helping facetank bosses. Soul of Shakari to help with chaos damage Ascendancy:
Spoiler
Your pick order is the next: Master of Metal -> Unstopabble Hero -> Fortitude -> First to Strike, Last to Fall
8. Leveling
Spoiler
Cause the leveling it's very personal I will give some tips for new players like it's the beginning of a league and we don't have any unique objects (personaly I level with frost blades until 30-40, very easy and fast for me):
Act 1:
Spoiler
Use a bow and search a "runner" modifier boots in tarleight. Buy Split Arrow . Use it until level 12 with Added fire damage/Chance to bleed
and Lesser Multiple Projectiles. You can use War Banner for start. At level 12 you can start using Rain of Arrows(RoA) if you prefer (with RoA drop LMP and use Chance to bleed and Added fire). Don't forget get your movility skills, Dash and Blink Arrow and barrage for later. In the weapons you search flat physical damage, increased attack speed, crit chance and multiplier. Don't use the body armour until you reach Art of the gladiator for improve your movement speed. In your armour search life and resistances, and in the boots movement speed. In rings you can use coral rings for more life and iron ring for more damage. Take Enduring Cry and start using and getting use to it. Don't forget buy Maim. For the combat vs Merveil use a saphire ring to upgrade your cold resistance (iron ring + blue gem gift you in the trade with the merchant a sapphire ring). Save the ring until you finish act 2, is useful with the 2º boss too. If you want it, you can use Precision at level 1. Act 2:
Spoiler
Take Blood Rage, Vicious Projectiles (start using this with Split Arrow swaping Added Fire Damage) and Herald of Purity for more damage or Herald of Ash for helping with the clear speed. Take Flesh and Stone and start using it in blood stance if you are having problems with damage. If you die a lot, use sand stance. Improve your weapon and don't spend currency trying to do a 3/4 link, only use the objects that drop the enemies and safe all your currency for later. In your skill tree go for "Swift Skewring" node. Then go to the right taking Deadly Draw and some life nodes (Bravery).
Act 3:
Spoiler
Now you can start using TS with a 3 link at least (Tornado Shot + LMP + Impale and if you have a 4 link with vicious projectiles too. Improve again your weapons and armour. Your damage is directly proportional of your weapon damage and gem level, so it's very important keep searching the best items to boost your damage. In the tree continue with the right part, taking more life (Thick Skin) and Farsight. Start using Dread Banner and Pride. If you can link Second Wind with Dash and Enduring Cry
Act 4:
Spoiler
Take Brutality and Summon Ice Golem.In the tree pick Herbalism (more life) and King of the Hill and Master Fletcher. If you have some currency, can bought a Death's Harp for finishing the leveling (about 1 alch or 1c the price of the bow). Very recommended for easy leveling if you are strugle with the damage. Pick life and mana leech in the node dow of Vaal pact for start sustaining your life and mana pool
Act 5:
Spoiler
Continue to the right in the tree if you can bought a Lioneye's Fall is the moment to use it and get all the claw nodes and drop the life and mana leech node took before. If you can't afford one, take Blood Drinker. Before you kill kitava go to the Lab and upgrade your ascendancy and take master of metal (huge damage boost)
Act 6:
Spoiler
Take all gems do you need from Lily. Continue to your left in the tree, picking the life (Bloodless) and some damage in the left (Lethality)
Act 7-10:
Spoiler
Continue picking the tree points based in your needs (more life for more tankiness, more crit and damage if you are having troubles with bosses and killing mobs). Remember pick Diamond Flask in act 7, it will be increase your damage. If you don't use any flat elemental damage start using Brutality instead Vicious Projectiles. Remember upgrade your items, check your damage and have the resistances +75. Priorities: 300 life each act, in the 7 near 2100, in act 10 near 3000, before mapping. Elemental resistances (+75 or 76 if you pick Soul of steel). Flat physical damage, increased physical damage modifiers and crit chance and multiplier for manteining a good damage. In act 10 before killing Kitava do the second and third lab and pick Fortitude.
First Mapping Levels:
Spoiler
Slivertongue and Chin Sol have a very low price even in the start of the league. Bought the both when you can (6L Chin Sol near of 50c in the 2/3 week of the league). If you haven't Lioneye's Fall, make it your priority. Then take all the uniques, gloves and ring, and you can use tabula or a corrupted 6L (with 2 red and 4 green) until you have the both bows with 6L. I did Sirus A5 in 3.11 with the tabula at level 89 without dying... so don't worry about your total life, you have a loot of tools to defeat your enemies. Rigwald with Slivertongue will improve your clear speed a lot, but before you need gloves and the ring. Cheap uniques (without a 6L): Slivertongue, Chin Sol, Hyrri's Trut, Haemophilia, Venopuncture and Perseverance (about 15c all).
Stay safe Exile! 9. Currency and league tips For some people that is lost in the world of wraeclast (the name of the continent of path of exile) I did a short guide of tips for help you to do the things right when you start the trip.
Spoiler
1. If you try to do leveling fast, don´t stay long time in town or hideout, don't play the league encounters and prepare your rute of gems and leveling. You can watch Tytykiller to learn about that. 2. Ritual league is very helpful with the new players, because it give you exalts and some currency that for the newest could be very hard to achieve. When you do the ritual, the top-left options are the expensive ones or the deffered items, so if you want a item that appear 2 or more times, pick de cheaper (bottom-right) unless the expensive have better stats ore more quantity in the relation cost per unit. Big tip about the ritual. Normally you when you reach at least 4000 units to spend in the ritual the best you can do is reroll trying to find a exalted orb o some nice divination cards. Only reroll if you have items or currency equal to the value of 2 chaos. If you have enought points you can defer the item you want in this line and reroll to try defer again a valuable item. Now, in 3.14, ritual is core, with 8% chance to appear in maps. You can upgrade this in your atlas three. 3. Try to expend the maven ascendancy (engame content) to boost your quantity of mobs, like more legion o harbinger encounter, it helps a lot with some nice quantity maps and leveling your character. 4. Don´t expend currency leveling, or try not to use a lot, only when it's mandatory. Don't trade either currency like fus or alteration unless you do not use them. I recomend trade with low tier maps when you have enough and use your currency to do some craft and try to sell good items. Guides that can help: English:

Spoiler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVLxhkvyeck&t=566s / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a63qO4Nm-A8
5. When you do this build, prioritize resist, the mandatory unique items and your clear speed setup (TS), then continue upgrading your barrage setup and damage. 6. The flask are very important, so try to use the correct prefix and suffix, will help a lot with damage and some trouble situations. 7. With the ritual, delirium and some incubator, the player generate a lot of fossil without going to the delve, so you can achieve a lot of fossil with help a lot with your crafting doing only delve for resonator. The harvest and the essence can help you a lot too. Search some information about crafting and learn all you can, it's very helpfull, both to make your items and to understand how much an object should be worth in the market. 8. All the low level essence that you find, use it to upgrade your items during your leveling. 9. Don´t have fear to spend currency, lost time farming and fail in the crafting, try to learn first and understand what you are doing, if you play, you will get enough currency sometime. 10. Try to join in a discord channel or guild that can help you. Path of Exile is normally a solo game, but people can help you with questions and the group play it's fun if your computer can support it. 11. I will post some tools that may be useful to you. There are some, not all that exist, so as you learn about the game, look for more. a) PoE-TradeMacro: It's a macro (it's legal use macros in poe) help a lot with the price of the market and doing fast check to the price. b) PoEdb: a page that can help you with the craft. Very usefull. c) PoEMap: when you don't want spend some currency and need some maps, you can use this tool to trade your maps for another without currency. Help a lot doing all the atlas bonus. d) Path of Building Community: the mandatory tool to download the trees and build of another people and testing the numbers. e) PoE Ninja: can help consulting the price of a item and decide whether to wait or not to buy it or sell it. f)Trade-Companion: help you with your trades. I recommend to use it. 12. Do the chaos recipe. Help a lot when you start a new league. The chaos recipe is 1 belt, 2 rings, 1 amulet, 1 helmet, 1 boots, 1 gloves, 1 body armour and 2 one handed weapons or 1 two handed weapon. If all unidentified it will give you 2 chaos. If all are unidentified and 20% quality the recipe obtain 3 chaos. I recomend the recipe for 2 chaos (unidentified) with two handed weapon. 13. Follow the neversink filter loot. You can choose the restriction level follow diferent filters, like the regular for start the league and stric/verystric to the late game: https://www.pathofexile.com/item-filter/ladder/follower 14. If you have some doubt or think that the guide could be change in some way, post your comment. 15. Some streamers and youtubers that can help you: Tytykiller, PoeMath, Steelmage, mbXtreme, Mathil, Zizaran, Esoro, Jaamon... For the spanish community: xTai Gaming, KokoOP, ADN Gamer, makupower,BilalDelValle. 10.

The PoB links aren't working.
|
|
" Are you using Path of Building Community (PoEFork)? I don't have any trouble with the links... and can't find any problem with them. If you are not using PoEFork I recommend you download it. Have a nice day! |
|
A video would be nice to see the clear speed and boss damage
|
|
" You can check what the build is capable of using the link in my footer. However, that was during Harvest and a heavily invested build. Spending 10ex you will definitely struggle with endgame. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2919821 - Impale Barrage Champion Build

Thx, i saw some vids and the build looks very strong.
|
|
Budget needed to do aw8? And is this juicy delirium viable?
|
|
surprised you haven't added Call of Steel to this build yet....
|
|
Im having trouble with Mana... with this build, i can't even put all the auras on takes all my mana.
Also i couldn't find the boots with immune to chill so I got the dream fragments ring. Does this affect the whole build? |
|
" About 20-30 ex to do aw8, if you are skilled and know the fight, with around 10 ex can try to do it. Delirium is viable, but isn´t the best build with 100% delirium maps... Fully geared you can do it, but i think other builds can be better than this one on that. Sorry for answering with delay, I was busy with work. Greetings |
