[3.8] Arly's Ice shot bower

Yes, my old build did not felt THAT squishy, but all in all i think i have to readapt - it´s a new playstyle even if it´s not looking as that in first place :)

Thanks for the other tips on gearing - the Windripper was from my old build now considering to switch it out.

As for the helmet using atm for testing Body armor synergy - actually im quiet broke so i can not afford an +Barrage helmet - should i just go the rare helmet route for Def-Stats anyway?

One with life and resists and or int will give you a substantial amount more survive. You don't really need a 6 link chinsol. Any random one will do as a barrage switch if you intend to use WR.

Honestly, based on your description I think you are much better suited for the QoTF variant if it afforded that much more defensive capability. In the end, optimal build bows are really just cookie cutter images of each other with the main difference being what chest they use.

Belly for raw hp
Lightless for dps
Qoft for movespeed and evasion

Okay, big thanks - i will see what i can get and how to get around :)

And i think i want to adapt - since i like the different, for me more difficult, approach. QotF compares to it like a bit more "lazy" in terms of avoiding damage and learn boss mechanics. In the end i feel it will be rewarding speed- and funwise.

Do you use normal jewels with increased % life or abyss jewels with flat life and flat damage rolls?

Use all abyssal jewels as generic jewels tend to be insanely expensive.

It is much less dps than chinsol at close range but you can really use any bow for this build if you wanted to.

Started a new char with this build since I got bored of my old one. Doing the shroud version since I felt like using one of the new items.

Currently I'm level 79 and all is going good so far. My gear isn't great and I need to see about getting flask modifiers on my belt, but according to POB I should have 1.5m shaper barrage dps after I'm done getting the rest of the passives and leveling and qualitying my jewels + buying a dying sun. That's without the enchants, I haven't started trying to farm uberlab yet.

In terms of upgrades I think I need to get more life, probably some more crit modifiers, a little more accuracy (theres two abyss jewels that i have that i could easily upgrade once ive leveled a bit more) and get the enchants for my gloves, boots, and helm. I need to replace my stygian vise, get a better amulet & a better coral ring. I think my eagle twirl ring is good enough, but I could possibly try to find a better one after upgrading everything else.

My character/account is public if anyone can help check my gear for me. Pastebin for level 96 with my current gear and leveled jewels/passives + a dying sun https://pastebin.com/Kx2V9b4c (note if you import my current character im level 79 with unleveled jewels, no dying sun, and barrage is in my bow, not the chest.) --- Also, I dont use POB too much so theres a chance I may have overlooked something or forgot to enable/disable something.

So far I'm loving the build! I usually play melee so using lightning arrow / barrage is certainly different, but it's quite fun!

It's currently set as level 90 based on passive point usage so you have some head room there. You dont need to modify enemy resistances. You dont need the single life leech node, blooddrinker already puts you at max. You also did not take the last frenzy charge. Here is the pob paste at level 96:

Spend time learning PoB, it is the most powerful optimization tool in poe.

I would recommend getting life on every jewel if possible as well as the lightning damage boot enchant if possible.
