In the Gear Guide for Path of Exile the benefit from any modifiers that affect bow skills. Ideally, you'd want life and resistances on your quiver as well to improve your survivability. Additionally, a modifier like "attacks with this weapon penetrate x% elemental resistances" can be a nice damage boost.
Moving on to the body armor, I opted for a Tabula Rasa in the early stages of the character for the simple reason of having a six-link without the need for specific colors. It allowed me to test different gem setups easily. However, for the endgame, you should aim for a rare body armor with life, resistances, and maybe even additional physical damage reduction. The more defensive layers you can add to your character, the better.
For the helmet, I initially used a Loreweave, which is a solid choice for the extra maximum resistances and elemental damage. However, for hardcore, you might want to prioritize a helmet with life, resistances, and increased cooldown recovery rate, which is crucial for the Blink Arrow and Mirror Arrow playstyle. Consider enchanting your helmet with something like "40% increased Blink Arrow and Mirror Arrow Cooldown Recovery Speed" for added mobility.
Gloves should provide life, resistances, and attack speed if possible. If you decide to go for the Legacy of Fury boots, you might want to focus on gloves that increase the effect of non-damaging ailments on enemies, contributing to the overall utility of your build.
When it comes to your boots, the ideal enchantment is "10% chance to gain Onslaught for 4 seconds on Kill." However, if you're using Replica Stampede like me, you won't benefit from the Onslaught effect. Instead, look for boots with life, resistances, movement speed, and the elusive spell suppression modifier. This will greatly enhance your survivability against spells.
The ring slots are flexible, but you generally want to prioritize life and resistances. An Essence Worm with Hatred is a great addition for boosting your minions' damage without reserving mana. The other ring can be focused on filling any gaps in your resistances or adding more life.
The amulet is another opportunity to bolster your defenses and damage. Look for an amulet with life, critical strike multiplier, and any additional attributes or resistances you may need. Anointment-wise, Soul of Steel is a solid choice for extra armor and chaos resistance, further enhancing your tankiness.
For your belt, a Stygian Vise with a life roll and resistances is suitable. You can also add a defensive abyssal jewel with increased life, resistances, or any other utility modifier that complements your build.
In terms of flasks, a Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline is crucial for additional movement speed, especially if you decide to forego the Replica Stampede boots. A Diamond Flask for critical strike chance, a Basalt Flask for extra physical damage reduction, and a Stibnite Flask for additional evasion and a smoke cloud can significantly improve your survivability.
Jewels are an essential part of optimizing your character. Look for jewels with increased maximum life, critical strike multiplier, and any other offensive or defensive modifiers that fit your needs. The Watcher's Eye with the "50% increased cooldown recovery rate of Movement Skills while affected by Haste" modifier greatly benefits your Blink Arrow and Mirror Arrow cooldowns.
Tailoring the gear to your playstyle and preferences, while keeping an eye on defensive layers, will ensure a successful journey through Wraeclast. Whether you're a seasoned Hardcore player or exploring the softcore realms, this build offers an engaging and rewarding experience in Path of Exile.
