[3.22] Kinetic Blast & Power Siphon Build | Ascendant | Trial of the Ancestors | Path of Exile 3.22

Hey guys, int stacker kinetic blast power siphon ascendant build is here. Power Siphon is a wand attack skill that fires multiple projectiles which generate and have extra bonuses from Power charges. Kinetic Blast fires a projectile from a wand that causes a series of small explosions surrounding its point of impact, each damaging enemies caught in the area.
Using kinetic blast for clear and power siphon for single target. I manage to hit 2124 int at level 96.

crafting the gear is fairly easy. my wand was a first try awakened hit and a lucky veild chaos. have to clean up the suffixes. not sure how to go on from there. prob just multi mod. all the other stuff is easy and deterministic.



Had a decent time during campaign but refused to upgrade my items during leveling which made me end up grinding aqueduct to reach lvl 69 in order to put all the gear on.

Had a real hard time to figure out the dex/strength requirement early on. Damage without at least one transcendent felt bad.

And I thought the helmet is a 30 div thing and will prevent me from trying this build but I got mine with the enchant and +1 Power charge for 1 divine 3 days ago.

Am now in my mid 70s and enjoying the mapping style.

my try https://pastebin.com/8SPp0aC7

have

Ghost Reaver
11% increased maximum energy shield

on relic

phanteon? have trickster on flesh/flame

any idea for upgrade? i fell so weak....


p.s. i never see sniper trigger.....is cos the mana cost?

Hi. Do you think the new reworked Vengeant Cascade is a better option for the anointing?
Edit: Well, I tried it, and it's quite amazing - can't imagine this without it.

In terms of the tree, since the mastery doesn't give spell damage per int anymore, I changed Arcane Sanctuary to Arcing Blows, with the mastery that gives more crit to enemies exposed to lightning. However, an exposure on hit eater mod on gloves is needed for it to work. Based on PoB, it's better than int stacking mod anyway.
The goal for 100 would most likely be Arcing Blows with Heart of Thunder(without mastery). HoT requires lots of points though, perhaps not the best option, and rather focus on more ES or other defenses.

Managed to get my hands on and work with a decent wand. It could be better with a lightning damage crucible node, but I don't want to risk losing what I already got(also because Crucible is terrible). The 2.16 attack speed is quite juicy!

Having no phasing got really annoying and sometimes dangerous, so I recommend getting a phasing on kill jewel.

Yes, you need mana reduction on jewel(s)

Someone was asking for my current PoB, here's the link: pobb.in. By no means it's complete, and it has its flaws.

Final edit: Just rerolled a LA character... So much better with WAAAY less investment. Int stackers fell off.

This build looks really interesting to play. Do you think it's possible to play it on a low budget and gradually improve the equipment?

I league started with it because I wanted to suffer and found it more fun to challenge myself. It doesn't get good until you put in a lot of baseline stuff. The build is pure int stacker, there's nothing else - no ES, no Life, no generic damage.

It is possible, but it won't be enjoyable. I'd suggest rather farming up the currency on an actual low-budget character.

Question guys. So why am I getting max life on my chestpiece if I am going Chaos Inoculation? POB doesn't say to get presence of chayula nor ghost reaver

Just made this today, currently level 83 and mapping. I highly recommend a watcher's eye with ES on hit while affected by discipline, especially if you do juiced maps/legion/breach. It's like having a claw implicit, very strong defensively and cheap.

Most just happen to be hybrid rolls (es-life)
