If you can't afford a kaoms what do you recommend using beforehand? Anything Specific?

I used a Tabula until I could 6L my Lioneye's. Then I swapped to a rare with high life. Belly could also be an option if you happen to have one. Lightning coil, Kintsugi, and Ashrend aren't terrible choices as well.

Hi,

Being currently doing this build (in softcore) I wish to know besides the "Kaom's Heart" what other body chest could be viable "except the belly".

I've been thinking about:

Shroud of the lightless

Yriel's Fostering (Rhoa Skill)
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Yriel%27s_Fostering

Farrul's Fur
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Farrul%27s_Fur

What do you think?

Thanks :)

Thanks :)

I think the entire point of playing with only 1 6L setup with Tornado Shot is to enable Kaom's Heart.

Loreweave sounds nice too.

I have the same question as G2n2sis.
In case we add a second setup with Barrage 6L, which of these Body Armour is best suited?

How are you knocking back constantly? I swear i've read it all but can't see it anywhere?

What do you think about The Green Dream jewell. Is it worth putting it in since we have socket next to 18% cold res, or is it just waste of currency?

Look at the lower right leftish side of the tree. He grabs "King of the Hill" All critical strikes knock back enemies. It's a great defensive QoL. If you want I can grab a picture of the area and send it here too for ya.

Thanks Xenithos for knockback answer.

The Green Nightmare would give some dodge but we allready have enough. For chance to frenzy, Blood Rage is allready enough. For damage, I'm pretty sure it is lower than an abyss jewel + less life.

LEAGUE STARTER HELP!
I see a lot of people struggling with leveling, 6 linking, and having decent damage with with their build before getting a 6l Lioneye's. This guide was originally written for moderately experienced players by Asymat, but here are some of my tips for succeeding, and trying to help alleviate some of the newcomers that are shocked about not having everything and the rising chaos prices of both might of the meek and Pure Talent, etc. We'll be going crit earlier, and doing more damage while you begin mapping without the need of a tabula (making us more survivable in general.)

Real quick, if you prefer Tabula route:


So first off, for those inexperienced, once you hit level 67 grab a Thunderfist, socket tornado shot, gmp, elemental damage with attacks, and then Increased Critical Strikes, or added cold damage. You will be going crit at level 70 NOT level 80. Here's how: Pure talent, assassin ascendancies, get someone to run you through uber lab (you do not have to go into izaro rooms until after he's killed) and don't grab the two cold nodes he emphasizes getting: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/3.2.1/AAAABAABAABeAO4DBAOWCC4UdRUgFr8Zjhm0IXYi4iP2JpUqTSzpLYMwfDH6NZI51DrhOyg_J0QNR35H4kp9SshNkk3jUdlUglVLVvpbr2BDYeJlTWegbj1uqnBSdvd313tue8N9dX8rguSDCYazhs6HB4d2idOKr4w2jX2NuZARlyGbjaCfotmj76Q5pjKmV6hyqUiwkrDYsVuxfLXyvTa-gL6nvrzBM8F8w-bI3Mjw0ujTfti945_tg-4O73ryRfaj_W7-Cv6P_rr_kw==

Priorities(IN THIS ORDER): Cheapo Lioneye's Glare if you don't have one already try to get an above 315 pdp for 1 chaos. Abyss Jewel with blind on hit, normal jewel with +2 mana gained on hit, Fertile Mind (you should have equipped this ages ago), PURE TALENT and RARE RINGS as well as other rare gears to fix resists and drop Thief's torment... FLASKS (Grab yourself a cheap triple resist with 80+ life chest piece. Any will do, usually 1c), (You can use either sin trek, or Atziri's Step earlier on instead of a rare boots), and if you want a different helmet because you've capped all other resists, a Devoto's Devotion or Starkonja's are great. Devoto's helps on Damage and speed, Starkonja's gives a crap ton of extra survivability. Both are between 5-10 chaos (Use Stark if using sin trek.)
THEN
330pdps+ 20% increased attack speed Lioneye's that COMES 6 socketed (Some people have awful luck socketing, and price should be around 20-40 chaos) Might of the Meek, +1 arrow Drillneck (unless it's over 1 ex, or 70c then this is last priority), Then ABSOLUTELY GET A +2 TORNADO SHOT HELM. (Overall this equates out to a 40-60% MORE damage multiplier because it nearly guarantees every shot is hitting targets)

The entire time that you're focusing on items AFTER getting the version of Lioneye's Glare that you want, you should be using all your fusings on it trying to get it 6ld. The moment that you've gotten it 6 linked, you cross over your Thunderfist back into a hrimsorrow, make sure that you have allocated points into Fangs of Frost and Winterspirit when you do this, (tons of cold conversion and extra damage), and grab your Kaom's Heart.

So why do we do this? Well, right off the bat this makes your heralds more effective because you freeze more often via crit, the ton of extra lightning damage is cheap and shocks mobs for easier damage output as well. Also, by going crit you have king of the hill and more reliable damage output at an earlier stage. If you're running Hatred and Herald of Ice then you have enough cold damage to reliably proc freeze when critical striking.
For me, this just feels better all around, and we don't have to worry about Tabula's lack of stats or anything else, and we have more life and resists while saving up for linking our lioneye's and getting the +2 tornado helm. We get to just run through item checks easier and get what we NEED, when we need it. Each of these pathways will feel like huge increases in power. Enjoy everyone! Also, Pure Talent is under-rated in value for this build, the 1% of attack damage leeched as life and extra base crit are super good!

I will say one thing though, if you have good gear and already have a tabula, there's no reason not to use the tabula, just focus on fixing your resists, getting your flasks, and making sure you have a pure talent jewel before moving forward.

Thanks Asymat for an awesome build when we get the core pieces for it.~ Vintrilla

Wow, thank you too for sharing league starter method. I have added it to post.
