[3.11] Bowcaster Fireball Deadeye - Now for staves!

Thank you for the kind words and sharing your experience and tweaks to the build. Glad to hear you are enjoying it.

A little update for anybody else following the thread, I've made some additional tweaks to my setup and now have 875k hideout dps and nearly 4 million shaper dps. Mainly thanks to changing out my magic onslaught flask to a Cinderswallow Urn with increased critical strike chance, and also adding a low level Precision aura with matching Watcher's Eye critical strike multiplier. If I can add power charge generation to my setup it will put me over 4 million dps so I am looking at incorporating that as a next step. I will update the main post with my most current PoB.

Wanted to take a little break from grinding and say a few words of appreciation for the Build. Having a blast and it is as advertised - leaves no Legionnaires standing!

For people who play this build, wanted to share a few adjustments I've made to make it zoom-zoom the maps.

...

Hope it helps, happy hunting!

Also, if you check your PoB it might be that Marylene is a dps boost. At least it shows so for me ;)

It would be about a 5% dps loss for me.

Then the only realistic upgrades I see are: getting more curses and dps boots (read: Bubonics). Then go for corruptions.

Not really sure where I want to take the character next after building t16 map pool. Did not really invest in any dps apart from the bow, but probably will try to at least reach 500.

Main issue for Delve is low ES pool for spamming/off-screening. If there are no mobs that are getting hit, ES depletes really fast. Theoretically tho, 1000 depth is achievable with your gear and few adjustments.

Could later record a map run with my current setup if you want ;)

Edit: forgot about Totem - Wave of Conviction/Scorching Ray for -res.

This most boring part of this build is leveling until 68 after that, It is one of my favorite build.

Great guide :)

Well, there is no shame in using something else for leveling. I did use unarmed cyclone and it was hella fast!

But I agree, the build is awesome.

I did record a video of a Tier 16 Beach with few sextants with speed setup:

Just for fun ;)

The attributes provided by each timeless jewel are linked to the exact number. I am sure there are other jewels out there that would also be very strong in this build, but since the numbers are basically random you just have to try them out until you find a good one. Ideally you are looking for something with bonuses to cast speed, crit chance or multi, spell damage, life. If you can't find a good timeless jewel it's not a big deal, just use a 4-mod rare jewel instead.

Delve 500 done. To my surprise the setup holding on fine, but the speed items will start to hurt later on where it's more important to have more damage vs move-speed.

Wanted to share the run on a harder node, since that's probably as deep as I go on this character (Mods are triple damage, onslaught, more Rares with Nemesis):

Also leaving a POB here in case someone wants to take a look, but disclaimer - it's a late League starter made out of toilet paper with a prayer :)

My current hideout tooltip is around 256k and I'm wondering what I need to upgrade in order to achieve better dps.

Any help would be appreciated.
