Build Guide
In Path of Exile 3.28 (Mirage League), Kinetic Fusillade of Detonation is a new Transfigured Intelligence Skill Gem. It has quickly become a meta-defining league starter, primarily utilized in Ballista Totem or Self-Cast setups.
Hovering Projectiles: The skill initially creates hovering kinetic projectiles that fire at enemies after a brief duration.
Continuous Firing: With specific setups to reduce skill effect duration (e.g., Warped Timepiece, Less Duration Support, or Dusk Rings), the projectiles can fire continuously, turning the character or totems into a "sentry tower".
Shotgunning Potential: Projectiles are fired in a barrage sequence rather than all at once, allowing them to "shotgun" a single target if no other enemies are in range.
Top 3.28 Build Variations
Hierophant Ballista (Totems): Currently the most popular league starter due to ease of progression. Totems provide a safe playstyle and benefit from a significant global totem buff in 3.28 that scales placement speed with emerge time.
Champion Totems: Preferred for Hardcore or SSF (Solo Self-Found) due to its inherent tankiness and smooth campaign progression.
Self-Cast Warden/Elementalist: While Elementalist received nerfs in the 3.28 patch, Warden remains a strong contender for those wanting a more active, high-damage self-cast playstyle.
Key Item & Damage Scaling
Arcane Cloak: Essential for early damage, as the skill gem has relatively low flat damage numbers.
Duration Reduction: Reducing the "Hover Time" is critical for single-target DPS. Items like Warped Timepiece are staples for this build.
Tornado Tech: Using Tornado (potentially via Spellslinger) can significantly increase DPS by allowing projectiles to chain between the tornado and the boss.
