This isn't a shield build though, are you sure you posted in correct thread? There's a wand / shield ED build somewhere. This one is with a bow so can't block.

A common theme I'm seeing here is players having issues either with linking their 5L Cane or Kintsugi. After trying a different approach to this league's start, I feel that Cane/Kintsugi is not the optimal path to go, and we should jump straight to the 5ex ED bow and a Hyrri's Ire.

It helped that was having fun chaos slinging all the way through acts into mid-yellow maps so there was very little reason for me to change my setup. All I had purchased was a +1 chaos wand and a +1 chaos shield for 1-2c each and these lasted me all the way until I switched to the ED bow.

My ED was on a 4L Spellslinger setup, which I upgraded to 5L on a chest with life and resists for 5c (cheaper now) when I entered yellow maps. That's less than 10c spent, so the rest is hoarded and converted to exalts while the price is still low until I can afford to craft the ED bow, and switch from spellslinging to ED/C.

Blight moved into the 5L chest, but after several near death experience I bought a Hyrri's Ire, 4L'ed it and took MoM.

I just took down A0 Sirus deathless with this setup, currently there is a second Hyrri's Ire 6S (4B2R) in my stash which I've already spent 250 fusings on without luck

TLDR:

1. Buy +1 chaos wand, +1 chaos shield, 5L chest
2. Skip Cane and Kintsugi
3. Craft 5ex ED bow
4. Buy Hyrri's Ire, 4L it for Blight

Where the hell is Athrophy. on the skill tree?

edit: found it

Could you please explain your spellslinger setup for leveling?

....

I am still at white maps L83 (using two random wands with spell dmg and chaos/dot multi), but I plan to buy 5 links Cane (properly colored (2g+3b) should be around 30c, maybe less) and then skip 6l Cane and go directly for bow.

Anyway fantastic guide!

Start with Caustic Arrow and Toxic Rain

After Act 3 Crematorium, setup as:
Bane - Despair - Controlled Destruction - (Void Manipulation)
Essence Drain - Controlled Destruction - Void Manipulation
Start leveling 3x Spellslinger in Weapon Swap

Bane will mainly be used until after General Grievous when Soulrend becomes available, then set up: (no Contagion yet)
Frenzy
Spellslinger - Essence Drain - Controlled Destruction
Spellslinger - Soulrend - Lesser Multiple Projectiles - Controlled Destruction
Bane - Despair - Controlled Destruction - (Void Manipulation)

Change Controlled Destruction to Efficacy after Library and purchase a Spell Totem and link to Blight and Faster Casting

We don't have mana reservation for Contagion yet until Spellslinger is leveled to L3 or L4 and becomes 29% reserved, and we have finally completed this tree with Charisma: https://poeplanner.com/ABYAAFEAFgYAACWw2KLZyBT1b2qMFr8mlWHitNHIDHaCtUgG55hTH0Fd8g5I44TBayYpXgO3MBQJE20miBGWf8bKWTmZ0UUPqySLwzqJ4OZYkx9JEwAAAAAA after which we are able to set up:

Spellslinger + Contagion
Spellslinger + Essence Drain + Efficacy
Spellslinger + Soulrend + LMP
Bane - Despair - Controlled Destruction - Void Manipulation

At the end of Act 4, purchase Multiple Totems, Hextouch and Greater Multiple Projectiles. Remove Bane, and the utility skills are:
Frenzy - Greater Multiple Projectiles - Hextouch - Despair
Blight - Spell Totem - Multiple Totems - Faster Casting

At 28% Spellslinger reservation, add Void Manipulation to Essence Drain
At 26% Spellslinger reservation, add Void Manipulation to Soulrend
At 25% Spellslinger reservation, replace Essence Drain's Void Manipulation with Controlled Destruction

When you want to 5L Essence Drain, move the Void Manipulation from Soulrend to Essence Drain

Maybe this should be added to the main post but don't craft the bow with beasts, the new tagging system doesn't block attack mods when using the wolf, you can only land +1 with a simple ex.

That's a bug and is going to be fixed in the next patch.
But yea, -suffix+prefix is bugged.

Changed around some stuff yesterday, build is running ok now.

Still little squishy every now and then.

Some questions:

- Wondering what my next steps should be (gear wise)?
- Cannot run Flesh and Stone next to M & D, tips?
- Is my three ok now? Or did I do something wrong?

Damage is way toooo low, i'm leveling empowers to get the full 6L experience but I doubt it gets much better. Even 20/20 all gems didnt make that much of a difference
I'm also missing jewels and a lot of stuff but still... Single target is just painful
