PoE 3.17 Guide: Herald of Thunder Auto-Bomber

Greetings, exiles! Your trusted content creator Fyre recently unveiled the comprehensive Herald of Thunder Auto-Bomber Guide, and today we’re providing an enhanced breakdown with additional strategic insights.

This build represents the pinnacle of automated clearing in Path of Exile, transforming your character into a walking storm that annihilates everything on screen without constant skill activation. The playstyle emphasizes strategic positioning and understanding mechanical interactions rather than rapid button pressing.

Advantages for Efficient Mapping

– Zero manual skill activation required for clearing

– S+ Tier performance for Altar farming strategies

– Exceptional movement speed and automation capabilities

– Surprisingly durable for a caster-focused build archetype

– Capable of handling Guardian and Pinnacle Boss encounters with moderate efficiency

– Viable for all non-Uber endgame content scenarios

– Functions effectively under all map modification conditions

Content Limitations and Investment Requirements

– Passive gameplay style may feel unrewarding for some players

– Area coverage dependent on explosion chains, struggles with Delirium content

– Cannot effectively utilize Armor or Evasion scaling for additional mitigation

– Significant currency investment needed, particularly for Mageblood acquisition

– Damage scaling plateaus below tens of millions of DPS

– Unable to successfully complete Uber boss encounters regardless of optimization

Mechanical Overview

1. Storm Secrets + Lone Messenger + Annihilating Light

– Provides massive 12x damage multiplier specifically for Herald of Thunder

– Generates substantial self-inflicted damage enabling Cast when Damage Taken automation

– Demands continuous shocking application to maintain Herald of Thunder activation

2. Inpulsa’s Broken Heart + Shock Proliferation + CWDT Loops

– Enemies detonate upon death creating chain reaction explosions

– CWDT triggered Blade Vortex and Crackling Lance generate shocks that proliferate

– Entire screens explode through proximity without active skill casting

– Shock proliferation sourced from Exarch implicit modifier on gloves

3. CWDT Blade Vortex + Crackling Lance

– Blade Vortex maintains permanent uptime, producing multiple shocks each second

– Continuous shocking serves as safety mechanism against approaching enemy packs

– Crackling Lance delivers concentrated shock application effective for distant targets

– Activates Herald of Thunder and CWDT loops against ranged attackers when automation inactive

1. Eldritch Battery + Mind Over Matter + Corrupted Soul

– Enables scaling Life as additional Energy Shield pool

– Utilizes Energy Shield as both effective health pool and mana resource

– Eliminates need for mana regeneration or reservation efficiency investments
