--------------------
Introduction
--------------------

Kinetic Bolt of Fragmentation is a new Transfigured gem that was released this league, and it has one particular feature that separates it from the rest of the wand abilities.

Multiple projectiles from this ability can hit the same target.

This allows us to hit over 100 times with a single attack, which means we can scale some absolutely insane damage.

Alongside Kinetic Blast for clear we have a monster of an all rounder that can handle 80% Delirium Juiced Legion / Abyss / Breach / Beyond / 6000 Affliction Dust Maps, as well
as every single Uber boss in the game (you still gotta have some skill for those though).


--------------------------------
Affliction Ascendancy
--------------------------------


Warden of the Maji

	The only real reason we use this ascendancy is for the Rage Tincture, it allows us to have 100% uptime of Berserk as well as 50 Rage on single target. This can last for upwards
	of 25 seconds.

	The other nodes are pretty bad for us in general.

	The 50+ Res with no helmet does not work. PoB is wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions
----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: I've watched the video, read through all of this, checked everything and the answer isn't here... where do I find it?

		A: Join my Discord Linked here -> https://discord.gg/WusyaTYXwA and ask in the Dedicated Thread for this build. I will do my best to answer as I get time. Others may also answer
		but take their info with a grain of salt, anyone can answer any question. Generally trust Admins / Mods / Helpers though.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: How do you figure out how many projectile hits you're doing?


		A: You take the base number of projectiles you have (P) and then the number of times each projectile Splits (S) and then use this formula.

			P + (P x S) = Total Hits

			The Bossing Setup has 11 Projectiles with the Flask up, and 100% Mark Effect with a level 21 Sniper's Mark which gives base 5 splits, and 10 with effect.

			11 + (11 x 10) = 121

			Keep in mind this is in perfect circumstances so you won't do this much damage without your flask up, positioned properly, and mark on the target with the jewel and no mark
			on hit.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: When do I use Kinetic Blast vs Awakened Lightning Pen in the Main link?

		A: Kinetic Blast will be for map clearing, just leave it in the 4 link with Kinetic Bolt, if you are in the mapping version of the PoB you will pretty much never swap off.
			When you are in the Bossing version, swap in Awakened Lightning Pen and only use Kinetic Bolt. 


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: How far can this build go? Is it able to do ALL of the content in the game?

		A: Yes, with enough effort and gear you can do basically every bit of content the game can throw at you. But be warned that Uber Bosses are very skill intensive and this build
			isn't some unicorn that can just infinitely facetank every single Uber Boss forever. Normal Pinnacle Bosses should fall over, and Mapping is quite comfortable if you set
			everything up properly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: My game is freezing when I try to attack enemies?

		A: Get a better computer.
			Also set your graphics to minimum, but even with my very good computer I still lag in very dense maps.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: Why no Helmet?

		A: We use the Dance with Death Keystone which gives us Lucky rolls on our Damage as well as our Crit Chance. This allows us to scale lightning damage and use Marylene's Amulet
		to get some pretty insane output for very little gear.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: What Spectre do I use? Won't they die?

		A: Perfect Dark Marionettes. They will respawn immediately after death, and with all of our defensive auras they should be relatively tanky. Just hit Haste whenever you notice it down.
		Buy them on the Trade side. If you swap gems out they will fall on the ground in your Hideout but you can resummon them from the floor. If you need to swap gems do it in town.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: I don't do as much damage as you do, what gives?

		A: You have to put yourself DIRECTLY in the boss with phasing, it is VERY important to position it properly. When you find the correct spacing you will notice immediately the increase in damage.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: How do I use Sigil of Power?

		A: Place it on the ground under the boss or a difficult enemy, and attack until it scales up.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: When do I use Berserk?

		A: Basically anytime you have a bunch of rares youre hitting with Kinetic Blast, or on any single target fight with Kinetic Bolt.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: I don't have enough Resists / Stats / Etc and I can't fit it into the build, what do I do?

		A: Make sure your flasks are rolled properly and you have the proper stats on tree / ring.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: I can't afford X Item, what do I do?

		A: Unfortunately with the way guides work, when I put the build out into the public the prices increase. I have tried to make it so none of the gear is unobtainable.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


	Q: I'm dying a lot in maps, what do I do?

		A: Double check that your Evasion is capped, you have some kind of Life Gain on Hit, your resists are all over cap including chaos.

Leveling
-----------

I have a full leveling video and PoB on my YouTube channel.

--------------------
Gameplay Loop
--------------------

Mapping:

	Focus on using Kinetic Blast for the most part while moving through maps, place Sigil underneath difficult enemies or in the center of lots of enemies (legion). Use Berserk
	on any difficult mobs while using Kinetic Bolt for Single Target. Maintain your Haste Aura. Spellslinger should apply mark as needed.

Bossing:

	Place Sigil underneath the boss while it spawns, enable Haste, get into position directly under the boss, Self Cast your Sniper's Mark and then attack with Kinetic Bolt, and then use
	your Dying Sun, after about .5 seconds click Berserk.


------------------------
Crafting + Gearing
------------------------

If the item is not listed in this section it means it is most likely just an item you will buy on trade or find on the ground.


	Weapons:

		Crafted Wand: - There is an entire section at the very bottom of this PoB dedicated to wand crafting, I also have a video showing examples if you are better
								at learning visually.


	Chest:

		Exp Chest: - Obtain either a Full Evasion or Hybrid Evasion / ES chest with 15%+ Fractured Spell Suppression.
					
							Use Chaos Res Essences until you hit a T2+ Elemental Res mod. Harvest Change it to whatever you need.

							If the chestpiece hits less than 95 Life, use Eldritch Currency to remove it and take the 15% max life Mastery. 

							Use Eldritch Currency to finish Prefixes, go for Evasion / EV/ES / Life / Etc.

	
	Rings:

		Elder Crafted Ring: - Obtain an ilvl 75+ Elder Ring. Higher is okay but it just adds extra garbage mods to roll, it doesn't matter that much though.
										
										Use Deafening Essences of Torment until you hit Gain 10-20 Life per Enemy Hit with Attacks, there are two tiers, going for T1
										will double the avg amount of essences. You will need 1 Open Prefix and at least 1 Open Suffix.

										Craft Prefixes cannot be changed, and use a Veiled Chaos Orb. It can hit either a Prefix or Suffix and you might get junk mods. 
										Prefix is ideal here and you will want to unveil it for Life. If you hit suffix you can take either Hybrid Chaos Res or Strength + Int/Dex. You will need 
										to get additional Strength somewhere else to be able to use all of your gear. That Which Was Taken is a good location for it.

										If you got a Prefix Veil and you have at least 1 open suffix you can move to the next step. If you got a Suffix Veil, Craft Life in the Prefix, Apply Aspect
										of the Crab through Einhar, and slam for a random suffix. Get Strength Elsewhere.

										Craft Prefixes cannot be changed and do a Chaos Harvest Reforge. You have an equal chance to get any of the 6 mod tiers. Ideally you want t3+ here
										but you can keep going until you're happy, just know that you CAN brick it eventually when it fills up.

										Apply Aspect of the Crab through Einhar and craft Strength/Int if you have a final open suffix, if you do not, get those stats elsewhere.

	Belt:
		
		Mageblood: - The Strongest Belt in the game, make sure you get a 4 Flask one and roll the implicit strength as high as it will go, quality for attributes.


	Flasks:

		You can roll flasks yourself for this build, but we need specific mods in specific places, I HIGHLY suggest you simply buy the correct ones. If not you can attempt to Alteration Roll
		them yourself.


	Jewels:

		Watcher's Eye: - Evasion Chance with Grace is most important, get whichever additional Purity of Elements mod you can afford.

		Brutal Restraint: - All that matters is it has Dance with Death, anything else is a bonus. Mainly looking for Attack Speed here.

		Thread of Hope: - Saves us a few points and overall is a slight damage increase with little to no downsides. This is 1 of 2 options for Implicit Corrupting Blood.

		Inspired Learning: - Gives us Headhunter mods while clearing. This is 2 of 2 options for Implicit Corrupting Blood (do this one lol)
