[3.9] Physical Conversion Bowyer | Wander [TS/LA/IS + Barrage] [KB + Power Siphon] [All Content]

Alright I'm finally done overhauling both guides. I've added trade links (hopefully all are functioning) to every section requiring a rare item; this is mainly to help less experienced players who struggle with buying the right gear, but I recommend everyone use them b/c I spent a hella long time crunching numbers, and you're probably better off adjusting my filters than making one from scratch. I've also updated both POBs in the bow guide to reflect the latest setup on my mind (not much has changed). A lot of the info was taken from my wander guide since they have so much in common. If there's anything people think should be further clarified/added to the guide let me know.

There might be some errors in both guides since I haven't proofread everything yet, if anyone notices any glaring mistakes (inconsistent info, trade links not working, etc) please let me know; I'll add the finishing touches tomorrow; too tired for now.

Alright, I think I'm rolling one of these wanders now and will follow your guide. I'll give you some feedback from the perspective of a relatively average player as I go :)

Good luck :) Hope you somewhat enjoy wanding.

If possible, would you get a corrupted Voidfletcher to avoid "arrows pierce an additional target"?

How about Hrimsorrow with +2 to AoE socketed AoE gems, since KB is tagged "AoE"

Would it be better/comparable to the others?

have som currency for the bow build but dont want to use the voidfletcher. Dont like the sound it makes :D.. will this build be viable for endgame and how much of a dps loss is it without the void?

It'll be viable for everything except maybe Awakener. Right now the degen vortexes are too ridiculous and you'll die to them 90% of the time without even seeing the boss. The entire fight is super bugged. GGG plans on nerfing that stuff so we'll see how it goes later on.

Yeah your DPS will be fine. Actually, on paper your DPS with and without Voidfletcher isn't that big of a difference aside from the initial hit. It's mainly the fact that voidfletcher allows you to kite more and you don't have to really aim with it. You just fire Void Shot and run away if the boss is way too dangerous to facetank. If you don't use Voidfletcher you'll die more often to certain extremely rippy bosses. It helps a lot for Legion/Betrayal encounters also.

Tbh, the bow build without Voidfletcher will be fine if the wander build can do content up to Uber Elder with only half the DPS.

Ah yes I forgot to mention that one. Well, giving KB +2 levels doesn't really do much tbh, the damage difference is negligible. It would be better to socket your auras/herald in it instead, but I don't recommend the corruption unless its like 1c b/c the DPS it gives is barely anything. For example in the bow setup, your DPS increases by 80k. for wanders itll prob be 30-40k increase, so pretty much nothing.

I actually prefer a little pierce in the setup although some may disagree. It will help in some scenarios with penetrating/1-shotting very large packs. But yeah having too much pierce would be detrimental to chain. I don't think it makes that big of a difference overall tbh.

how are you getting the 1400% MORE dmg number on your loreweave for the wander pob lol? also where are you getting the +4 gem levels in your chest?

POB doesn't know how to calculate DPS for skills linked to Barrage Support. So you have to do it manually for now, this is why Power Siphon is on a 5-link on POB. The 6th link is from Barrage Support and I added the calculations to the chest. 1400% represents the 14 projectiles you have from Power Siphon enchant (2) + 21/20 Power Siphon (8) + Barrage Support (3) + default projectile (1). Otherwise POB is only telling the damage from a single projectile.

The +4 gem levels represent the new Awakened gems. Awakened Added Cold gives DPS equal to a 23/20 gem while Awakened Ele Focus and WED gives DPS equal to a 25/20 gem. There is a reason I have two setups and labeled one "Expensive Setup"
