Velyna's Tornado Inquisitor PoB & Gems (PoE Settlers of Kalguur)
PoB Import
Progression
This PoB has multiple stages to work through as your character improves, that way you always know what to be upgrading from leaguestart to endgame. Just look for the green text and dropdown menus, make sure you set the tree/skills/gear for your current situation.
The important thing for this build is to manage our defensive layers. We use Petrified Blood to take a portion of incoming hits as damage over time, and stack a lot of sustain.
At first you will use The Highwayman and Energy Leech Support. Later on you have life leech from a cluster jewel and ES leech from timeless jewel.
Glorious Vanity is a cornerstone of our defenses, allowing us to split incoming damage between life and ES. It can also give ES leech and other defensive things depending on your budget. There is a search link on the gear page.
Before glorious vanity, wear The Burden of Truth for a similar damage splitting effect.
DO NOT wear The Burden of Truth and Glorious Vanity at the same time, when you get your jewel replace the belt immediately or you will die!
Anoint
Anointing is accessed through Cassia, it gives you access to one extra node on the talent tree.
This build uses 2 heralds and can benefit massively from a cheap anoint focused around them.

Leaguestart Gems
Act 1
Level 1-12
- Frostbolt- Elemental Proliferation Support- Arcane Surge Support
- Clarity- Vitality
- Frostblink
- Holy Flame Totem- Flame Wall
Level 12+
- Storm Brand- Added Lightning Damage Support- Arcane Surge Support
- Vitality- Clarity
- Flame Dash
- Flame Wall
Don’t level Arcane Surge Support.
Clarity should be kept low as well, depending on your mana situation.
I opened the cave for Flame totem and Frostblink, then did tidal island for Arcane Surge.
Added Lightning is a quest reward at the prison, link it to flame totem if possible.
It’s normal to be riding your flasks pretty hard during Brutus, you can save a portal scroll to refill flasks in town if desired. After Brutus you get Clarity, making life much easier.
Storm Brand is a quest reward after entering Merveils cave.
I swapped immediately at level 12.

Kill all the bandits.

After killing Kaom and Daresso buy Cast when Damage Taken Support from the vendor, which let’s you automate a golem. Adding inspiration to the links helps with the high mana cost.
I ran second lab during act 8, and swapped to tornado right away. If you don’t have tornado yet just keep running storm brand until you get it.
