The Kinetic Fusillade Elementalist stands firm as one of the most devastating burst-damage builds in Path of Exile 3.27—and the Mageblood variant takes it to the next level. This full-power iteration focuses almost exclusively on raw, unbridled bossing damage; with meticulously crafted gear, optimized skill tree allocation, and high-end tuning, it cranks out over 150 million burst DPS—more than enough to delete Uber bosses before they can even act.
PoE 3.27: Mageblood Kinetic Fusillade Build - 150M Damage Breakdown
While this build trades some defense for explosive output, Mageblood’s unique utility lets you customize its survivability. You can add defensive layers to your flask setup for sturdier play, but this variant prioritizes maximum damage above all—perfect for fast Uber farming and high-stakes boss encounters.
Key Build Changes in the Mageblood Variant
The Mageblood iteration redefines the Kinetic Fusillade Elementalist through targeted gear upgrades and mechanic optimizations. Below are the make-or-break adjustments that push its damage to 150M+:
1. The Dusk Ring: Unlocking APS Potential
The Dusk Ring is a game-changer—it slashes the build’s duration multiplier to roughly 0.04, letting your attack speed (APS) cap at around 22 attacks per second. This effectively removes all APS restrictions, making damage scaling far more efficient through weapon upgrades, buff stacking, and consistent flask uptime. With this ceiling lifted, every other damage boost (from gear or skills) delivers exponentially better results.
2. Newly Crafted Wand: The Damage Core
The wand is the build’s primary damage driver, boasting a suite of meta-defining mods:
- Increased attack speed
- Elevated critical strike multiplier
- Double damage while Focused
- Elevated spell damage, added lightning damage, and lightning penetration
Thanks to The Dusk Ring’s uncapped APS, this wand hits its maximum damage potential with every attack. For players looking to replicate it, the full crafting process—including Awakener Orb usage and meta-crafting steps—is available in the VOD timestamps linked at the end of this guide.
3. Blizzard Crown: Fueling Trinity Support
Trinity Support remains a core part of the build, and a custom-crafted Blizzard Crown provides the substantial flat elemental damage needed to keep it active. The crafting process involved:
- Combining elevated elemental damage and elevated crit multiplier mods
- Meta-crafting prefixes to lock in key stats
- Repeated Wild Bristle Matron slams while blocking mana mods
This helmet isn’t just a defensive piece—it contributes a massive chunk of the flat damage required to scale Kinetic Fusillade into the 150M DPS range.
4. Shield Upgrade: Efficiency for High-End Play
The build’s shield is tailored for endgame performance, with these priority mods:
- High spell damage
- Large energy shield (ES) pool
- Mana reservation efficiency
For mapping (as opposed to bossing), you can swap to a block-focused shield for extra survivability. The current shield—purchased for 25 Divines—prioritizes spell damage and remains a top-tier choice for Uber encounters.
5. Body Armour: Twilight Regalia
The Twilight Regalia chest features fractured global defenses, making it a top-tier ES option. For alternative setups, you can craft:
- Triple ES prefixes (or double ES + block for hybrid defense)
- Suffixes using Essence of Loathing to boost mana reservation efficiency
- Meta-crafted mods with Eldritch currency for extra flexibility
This body armour complements the build’s full-damage focus while offering a versatile template for further customization.
6. Dropping Sigil of Power: Freeing Jewel Slots
Due to the low duration multiplier from The Dusk Ring, Sigil of Power only lasts about 1.5 seconds—making it inefficient. Removing it frees up jewel slots, which we use for Abyssal sockets on the gloves. These sockets let you stack flexible, damage-boosting stats like:
- Critical strike multiplier
- Flat elemental damage
- Wand damage
- Energy shield
- Accuracy or additional spell damage
This adjustment alone adds significant depth to the build’s damage potential.
7. Boots & Gloves: Tuning for Speed & Damage
We’ve opted for Phantom Boots for their spell suppression, though pure ES boots can boost survivability further. When sourcing boots, prioritize these mods:
- Intelligence
- Elemental resistances
- Spell suppression
- Dexterity
Prefixes should ideally include movement speed, evasion (for hybrid boots), and energy shield. The gloves follow a similar philosophy and leverage Abyssal sockets to maximize damage scaling.
8. Flask Setup: Mageblood’s Game-Changing Flexibility
Mageblood transforms how flasks work for this build, letting you tailor your setup for bossing or mapping without swapping gear.
Bossing Flask Setup (Max Damage):
- Silver Flask: Increased critical strike chance
- Bismuth Flask: Resistances + life regen (converted to ES via Zealot's Oath)
- Quartz Flask: Extra crit chance + shock immunity
- Quicksilver Flask: Additional resistances
- Bottled Faith: Essential for peak burst DPS
Mapping Flask Swap (Max Survivability):
- Silver Flask → Jade Flask (adds ~20k evasion)
- Bottled Faith → Rumi's Concoction (boosts block chance)
High-speed movement during mapping reduces the need for Quicksilver Flask, and Mageblood handles all your resistance, crit, defense, and mobility needs without gear changes.
9. Watcher's Eye & PoB Updates
We use a double-Wrath Watcher's Eye for these key mods:
- Increased lightning damage
- Lightning penetration
Recent Path of Building (PoB) updates have improved Kinetic Fusillade damage calculations, accounting for additional projectiles and duration scaling. Be sure to verify projectile counts in your PoB configuration to avoid inflated DPS readings.
Build Cost & Final Notes
This is a high-investment build, with estimated costs breaking down as:
- Mageblood: ~200 Divines
- Newly crafted gear (wand, helmet, etc.): 200-300 Divines
Total cost varies with market fluctuations, but the performance speaks for itself—this build dominates Uber bosses like few others.
