PoE Builds 3.16: Corrupting Fever Tornado Shot Build – Gladiator

Many Path of Exile players seek comprehensive guidance for the popular Corrupting Fever Tornado Shot Gladiator build that dominates endgame mapping. Fortunately, renowned content creator Grimro has extensively covered this powerful combination in his video content. This detailed guide from MmoGah provides the complete progression path from campaign start to endgame optimization.

The build follows a carefully structured progression system that minimizes respec costs while maximizing efficiency. Understanding the timing for each transition point is crucial for smooth progression through the endgame content.

Steel Skill Leveling Act 1-4

Begin your journey using Steel Skills combined with the rustic sash weapon recipe for optimal physical damage scaling. This approach provides excellent clear speed while requiring minimal investment during the early campaign. The key advantage lies in the smooth damage progression without needing specific unique items.

Execute the transition to blood slinger immediately after defeating Malachai in Act 4 and reaching level 38. Ensure your gem links are properly configured beforehand to avoid downtime during the swap. Many players make the mistake of transitioning too early, which can significantly impact your clear speed.

Utilize the Act dropdown menu within the provided Path of Building link, toggling between Acts 1-4 to view the appropriate skill trees and gear recommendations for each stage.

Bleed Slinger Leveling Act 4-10

After completing Act 4, transition to the Kinetic Blast and Spellslinger configuration for significantly improved area coverage. Immediately after making this change, respec your passive tree from melee nodes to projectile and physical damage over time specializations. This respec typically costs 15-20 regret orbs, which can be farmed efficiently during early mapping.

Focus attention on verifying all gem links are correctly established according to the build template. Maintaining capped elemental resistances becomes critically important at this stage, especially preparing for the resistance penalty after defeating Kitava. Aim to have at least 115% in each resistance before the fight to remain capped afterward.

Navigate through the Path of Building using the Act dropdown selector, switching between Acts 4-10 to access the appropriate configurations for each segment of your journey.

Bleed Slinger Leveling Map Gearing

If you accumulated PoE Currency during leveling, consider investing in specific leveling unique items when available at reasonable prices.

– Le Heup of All (provides all resistances and damage multiplier)

– The Magnate (offers substantial physical damage and life recovery)

Upon reaching the Atlas, prioritize acquiring all equipment listed in the CF KB League Start Path of Building. While completing your Atlas remains important, it should take secondary priority to obtaining your fundamental gear setup. If you encounter damage or survivability limitations, temporarily reduce map tiers, enhance your equipment, and level your support gems.

Upgrade Priority

+1 physical wands (significantly boosts Corrupting Fever damage)

Cluster Jewels (essential for scaling both damage and survivability)

2 Mod Crimson Jewels

Delirium Essence Gloves

When unable to obtain a specific item, proceed to the next priority or accept slightly suboptimal versions with one fewer mod or additional passive point cost on clusters.

Consult the CF KB LEAGUE START section in the provided spreadsheet for detailed crafting guidance. Compare market prices against crafting costs to determine the most economical approach for each piece.

Pure CF KB Swap

After securing most or all equipment from the CF KB LEAGUE START Path of Building, transition your gem configuration by removing Spellslinger. This modification enhances clearing capability but reduces single-target damage output, so delay this change if experiencing difficulties with tougher enemies.

Adopting the pure Corrupting Fever setup enables additional aura utilization and prepares for the Tornado Shot conversion after acquiring more PoE Items. Your final gem arrangement and equipment should closely resemble the Path of Building configuration referenced below.

Tornado Shot CF Transition

Before transitioning to Tornado Shot, verify your Corrupting Fever damage reaches sufficient levels for effectiveness. Ensure you meet the minimum crafting requirements outlined in the CF TS MID BUDGET section.

– 6L redeemer aura chest (critical for mana reservation efficiency)

– A damage-focused amulet featuring the no mana cost focus mod, with +1 skill levels or damage multiplier being acceptable alternatives

– Level 1 empower gem (higher levels provide substantially improved damage scaling)

– 6L crafted bow with appropriate physical damage modifiers

– Projectile speed frenzy quiver (enhances clear speed and quality of life)

Enhance all remaining equipment marked with **New** in the spreadsheet using the provided instructions.

Crucially understand that at this stage you’ll operate as a relatively fragile Tornado Shot build, but with exceptional clearing capability and solid damage output.

CF Tornado Shot Upgrading

Progress toward the high-budget Path of Building configuration; the subsequent modifications deliver the most substantial performance improvements.

– Obtain the endurance small composure cluster and allocate endurance charges for significant defensive enhancement

– Secure a level 3-4 empower gem for massive damage amplification

– Craft an awakened +2 amulet and apply the charisma anointment for improved aura efficiency

– Acquire an enlighten level 3 gem and, combined with the amulet modification, activate determination for substantial armor increases

– Obtain a 2-modifier herald of purity ring for additional physical damage scaling

– Secure a 1 or 2 modifier watcher’s eye jewel for both offensive and defensive benefits

– After achieving sufficient damage output, gradually respec your passive tree to replace damage nodes with defensive allocations

– Complete your ideal cluster jewels focusing on armor, chaos resistance, maximum life, and elemental resistances

Finalize the remaining upgrades from the Path of Building and crafting documentation.

CF Tornado Shot MAX

If you’ve reached this advanced stage, you possess comprehensive understanding of the remaining optimization requirements. We’ll reunite after successfully completing wave 30 of the simulacrum challenge.
