How About This Ultimate Lightning Strike Rider Build In Path Of Exile 3.23?

Jan 06, 2024

I am going to show you the latest Lightning Strike Rider build in Path of Exile 3.23 Afflication League. We are using Nimis and Mageblood. The build will not be good without Nimis. In this league, MageBlood allows us to run very dangerous Tier 16 maps in a late game. We can do all contents without Mageblood except Tier 16 and Tier 17 maps in this league.

This build has very comprehensive defense, good recovery, insane performance in map clearing, and single-target. The DPS is 80 million while Focus and Berserk, 35 million while not Focus and Berserk. But we still die sometimes. If you really want to be very tanky, we can use Progenesis but 6 portals gone (die×6) is so rare in this build. We will always finish our juicy maps in most cases.

How About This Ultimate Lightning Strike Rider Build In Path Of Exile 3.23?

Damage Type

We’ll start with base damage. 3 Elemental Damage is our base damage type. Claw is our weapon. Gemini is a bit weaker than Imperial in DPS, but it gains mana and gains lesser life. Just make sure you are using life gain on hit implicit Claw and get mana leech in the passive skill tree. Just keep in mind that physical and chaos damage will not improve the DPS.

Fast Attack speed base with high Critical Strike Chance in Claw is necessary. We are a Raider and stacking Frenzy Charges, which give us numerous attack speed and damage. 40% Spell suppression and 50% Elemental Ailment Avoid gives us a lot of space for our gear. 20% Exposure is very good to this build because we are dealing 3 Elemental damage types.

How It Works

So let’s talk about how the Lightning Strike works. Lightning Strike is a melee skill and also a Projectile skill. We mainly focus on scaling Projectile damage, so we don’t want any melee tags in this build, like increased melee damage or melee Critical Strike Chance and multiplier.

Everything about the melee is not improving the build so much. It will still improve melee hit damage, but we are actually scaling Projectile damage. We gain Far Shot from the Fledgling. We will gain Far Shot benefit very easily with Nimis. Lightning Strike can hit the ground without targeting enemies, so we need non-Vaal strike skills to target additional nearby enemies to achieve it.

When we stand in the right positions, we can hit on the ground and the target in 1 attack. It makes the target take 2 extra Projectile impacts: 1 out going from the ground and 1 return. Lightning Strike returned Projectiles will only hit once on the same target. All other Projectiles from the same attack will not hit the same target multiple times. These Projectiles keep chaining between the wall and the Black Star. However, these Projectiles actually do not dealing damage.

From the same attack, pierce Projectile can hit once, return can hit once, and chain can hit once. No matter how many Projectiles we have, every Projectile behavior will only hit once to the same target from the same attack.

Unique Gear

In our gear, we are using some specific unique. The Fleding provides Far Shot, Projectile speed and damage. York of Suffering lets us apply stronger shock effect and increased damage taken to enemies. Without York of Suffering, we cannot apply a high shock effect on enemies.

Path of Exile 3.23 York of Suffering

Each type of Element is included: Chill, Ignite, Shock, Poison, Bleeding, Brittle, Sap, and Scorch. We have Brittle from boots implicit. Claw has a chance to poison. You don’t have to get this. It’s not necessary. The Taming is very good in this build. I tried to find another ring to replace The Taming, but I didn’t find one. You can use +1 maximum Frenzy Charges if you want. Nimis Ring, Projectile return and random directions. Random directions are actually good in mapping. We don’t have to aim in specific directions when we have no nearby enemies.

Rare Gear

For rare gear, we do need some specific modifiers on specific gears. Another is just for capped our resistances, spell suppress and maximum life, +1 maximum Frenzy Charges and an extra skill target 2 additional nearby enemies on gloves.

Brittle ground searing exarch implicit and Aliments Avoid The Eater of Worlds implicit on boots. Stun Avoid and Ailments Avoid on body armour. It doesn’t need to be veil -prefix. Crafted prefix is fine in most case. Double damage on Shield is not necessary. You can get it if you want.

Flasks

For the Mageblood, we use Life Flask (no effect by Mageblood) that immune bleed and corrupted blood. We use Silver Flask and the additional Elemental resistances outslaught effect will also inceased by Prefix and Enchantment. Elemental resist for me to pick blue altar randomly. You can get Stun Avoid or anything else that you like.

Sulphur Flask with reduced curse effect. We need at least 52% reduced the curse effect to achieve the curse immune. Diamond Flask with attack speed, and a Gold Flask with crafted increased rarity. We can craft reduced reflected damage taken in another Gold Flask and swap if needed. We’ll swap to Granite Flask with tier 1 increased armour sometimes. I only swap when I fight the league boss.

To craft this flask, we don’t craft a specific suffix on a specific flask, like Silver should be attack speed. If when we craft Diamond Flask, and get tier 1 attack speed, you should keep it and you’re going to craft another flask.

We still have crafted increased rarity as our suffix. So if you get what I say, crafting flasks will be easier. But we better have crafted POE Items rarity in Gold Flask, because sometimes we will swap with Granite Flask. We don’t want to lose something when we swap our flasks.

Passive Tree

For the passive skill tree, you can get Lethal Pride with 5 double damage. If you cannot find this, you can buy 4 double damage. But you need to adjust passive skill a little. Because some double damage applies on resourcefulness. The number is matter, under ‘who’ is doesn’t matter. So you don’t want to find under Rakiata only. You can find a same number under Kaom or Akoya.

A little tip for you: Thread of Hope with a very large ring to allocate Piercing Shots, Multishot, and Stun immune. In this setup, we need this cluster to help us capped our Stun immune. But actually, just 1 more point. So you can get Mark the Pray with impossible Eascape if you want. Primeval Force is an unnecessary.

Jewels

Large Cluster Jewel is mainly for Fan of Blades and jewel slots. We don’t use Wind-up this time, just Fan of Blades and anything else. Alterations and regal crafting are not going to be easy. So you have to be patient or use your POE Currency to buy it from the market. Medium Cluster Jewel is also unnecessary.

Charms

For the charms:

  • Melee hits have 20% chance to Fortify.
  • Warcries grant 3 Rage per 5 power if you have less than 25 Rage.
  • Critical Strikes have Culling Strikes.
  • 25% chance to gain a power charge on Critical Strike.
  • You take no extra damage from Critical Strikes while Elusive.

Gain Rage

We’re also using Redblade Banner to gain Rage from the charm. Swap to second weapon slot and Warcry. This is not very smooth but very powerful. When I use this method to gain Rage, I will move to cancel the attack actions. If we are attacking with Multistrike and the swap weapon 'X', it’s not going to be swapped. So we have to move and make sure we are moving, and it will swap. Just move and swap, and move and swap back.

Path of Exile 3.23 Redblade Banner

We also need our main hand weapon to have enough attributes to keep our gears available on the second weapon slot. We don’t want to die when we swap weapon slots. Take no extra critical damage while Elusive is perfect to against Primal Whips buff. We always have Elusive when we are mapping.

Skill Gems

The skill gem is very basic. Steelskin with CWDT as our guard skill. Sniper’s marks with mark on Hit as our mark skill. Berserk and Ancestral Protector, make sure on top of this, all supported by Lifetap.

We’ll talk about Mobility skill and Aura skill in more detail. Our Whirling Blades is supported by Rage. It helps us sustain our Rage easier. But when we’re running a map that has tons of monsters, we will always get hit and our Rage basically sustained.

So sometimes when we roll a map with Elemental Reflect, we can swap Rage to Brutality so we won’t kill ourselves by Whirling Blade. Flame Dash for teleport terrain that Whirling Blades cannot do and debuff Grasping Wires and Poison. Overall, just use Flame Dash if you feel you are getting slow.

Our Aura pick depends on resonance gaining from Trinity Support. If we’re not gaining resonance, we have to swap another Aura. The options are between Wrath and Anger. Of course, we are using Grace and Enlighten level 3. Our main skill is supported by Awakened Elemental Damage with Attacks, Awakened Multistrike, Awakened Added Lightning, Nightblade and Trinity.

Make sure you have enough Mana to use the skills twice. This is a pretty much completed build, so I think the gem setup is already the best.

Pantheon And Bandit

For the Pantheon, Soul of Lunaris is very good for this league. Physical and Elemental damage reductions is very good for mapping. 10% chance to Avoid Projectiles also increased the chance of survive. Soul of Abberath is necessary. Elemental Ailment Avoid is not include ’burning‘.

For Bandit, kill all and get 2 passive skill points.

Hope you like and try this build in Path of Exile 3.23 Afflication League.
