Huntress Twister Build - Elemental Damage?

Hi! I’m new to Path of Exile 2 and could use some advice on my build. I’m playing a Huntress with a Twister setup, currently level 47 at the end of Act 3. My basic rotation is: Whirling Slash, Barrage, Then Twister.

I’ve watched several videos about this archetype (Whirling Slash + Twister) and they often talk about adding elemental damage to greatly scale the build and interact with elemental ground effects.

In practice, though, I’m confused about how to easily add elemental damage to my Whirling Slash and Twister without super complicated setups. Any advice for 0.4?

Tbh look at last league’s snoobae deadeye twister to see what he did to scale damage. Not much has changed other than Garukhan’s being a bit different. The way he scales damage should be the same. And yeah you cant get the same amount of frenzy charges as a deadeye but other than that it should be similar

You can use unique boots that create shocked ground, or get a curse with burning inscription so that when it ends it will ignite the ground. I’m doing the build but on an abyssal Lich but the concept should be the same. If you need help ask. I’ll link my Poe.ninja:

The easiest say for sure is with the unique boots waking destruction i think they are called. Did you go for Amazon or ritualist Ascendancy? With ritualist you can get an infinite amount of frenzy charges with cheap items and can combined it with explosive spear to create burnlng grounds

Elemental damage is a stat on rings, gloves, and weapon. % added elemental damage also comes from stuff like heart of the well diamond, and time lost.

Unique Boots are the most auto pilot way to add ground effects. But there are skills that create it as well, and then you just carry it around with your whirling.

I’ve been trying twister out for the first time and using cold infusion, elemental armament, and frost nexus creates chilled ground on the first pack of monsters it hits. Flat cold damage on gloves/rings/weapon doesn’t hurt.

The flame twister on Poe builds.net is what I used. Birth of fury boots turn the twisters into fire

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?

Rakiata who?

I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
