Do you ever find yourself being killed by spells? If so then it is probably worth taking, I dont get killed by spells much.

Nice Guide. I have a Void Eye Unset ring with +5 to Socketed Gems. I'm planning on doing a similar build with a Herald of Ice in the Unset ring. I have most of the other uniques, except for HeadHunters and the quiver. How would you change your guide if you had that ring?

Also are you still selling mirrored items?

To be honest I wouldnt use voideye because the upside of having a higher level herald of ice is less than being able to link it to other things in your gloves/helm/boots or using a ventors gamble there for more quantity, I am doing a mirror service on the jewel on standard with a 30ex fee yes but i would prioritise getting the quiver and the headhunter before mirroring an item. (Though if you're adamant about using voideye then i would put wrath in it since not only would that be more dmg than putting in HoI, but also you can still link your herald of ice in your helm, gloves or boots that way to get the benefits of power charges from curse on hit)

Thanks gmandonnan. You're advice is very helpful and appreciated. Wrath it is.

Gmandonnan. I took you advice on the rings, and on the vital importance of endurance and frenzy charges. I also modified the build somewhat - to make it to the end game. I'm pretty sure this build has a chance to do it. It's the strongest and tankiest build I've had.

The result is just plain astonishing!

I just finished 10 red maps (lvl 11-14, rare, chiselled, with Beyond) in a row and only died once!!! In most of my other builds, including the earlier version of this build, I would have died an average of 2 times a Red map.

Here's my new Set Up: (5,527 Life and 736 Mana)(plus very strong DMG) at level 89

... Tempest Binding Helmet (6L) with Barrage (allows me to use Kaom's Heart) ... for Boss Kill
... Arborix Bow with Tornado Shot and Mirage Archer for Clear Sp, Frenzy charges & Far/Point-Blank
... Rigwald's Quill Quiver life gain, accuracy, FORK, & + 49% projectile dmg
... Koam's Heart Chest Armor +500 life and extra (+37%) fire damage
... Shaper's Touch Gloves (+ 100 Life and Mana)
... Stygian Vise Belt with 130 Life, 30+ for each resist and some damage
... Elder Rare Boots +75 Life, +9% Endurance Charges, +25% movement speed, + extra damage
... 2 Taming Rings ...providing a total of +120% Elemental Dmg, +70% El Resists, +40% Ailiment Dmg, +20% Chance to Freeze and Shock
... Astramentis Amulet providing +100 to all Attributes providing lots of DMG/Defense benefits
... Gem set ups, including the 4 Two-slots, per your suggestions

Once I've accomplished my desire to clear most/all of the content for the first time ever, then I'll re-spec for currency farming.

Thanks again

Could anybody tell me, please how is this build handling bosses?

I have a large amount invested into the char but I can pretty much oneshot any boss up to t15 with barrage in full MF gear. I have done all guardians and shaper with it. Without my level of investment I wouldnt recommend trying shaper or guardians in your MF gear but you can still do them if you swap in good rares with life and damage.

EDIT: I see that on your windripper character you dont even have a 5link. You want at least 2 5links to even start the build (1 in your queen of the forest and 1 in your bow) or you get less than half the dmg you should get

Thank you for your convincing answer gmandonnan. I am in Flashback league now but I will continue to invest in your build when it ends.

Btw, I very much appreciate the detail of your guide. I had a break of 5 years from PoE and chose your guide first as it was extremely clear and helpful.

In Flashback I started another build https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1965844 and that guide was far behind yours in quality! Again, I very much appreciate the effort you put into writing it!
