Most of the gear is legacy gear I retained from previous leagues as well as harvest crafted gear. The main difference is more focus on survivability and utilising a few more legacy gears, otherwise the play style is very similar. PoB : >>>>> https://pastebin.com/qHxwxy28 <<<< Key features - Pathfinder for abusing legacy flasks - Double cluster jewel set up to maximise DPS - Built around legacy Kaom's + legacy vessel of Vinktar + harvest crafted gear. Build would also work fine with a normal Kaom's and integrating Vaal Pact. Offence - 30 million shaper DPS - Partial phys to cold conversion - Pseudo 6 link ice shot for clear - Barrage for single target (no weapon swap required). 13 projectiles. - Culling strike Defence - 7.7k HP - Instant HP + mana leech - Evasion + Acrobatics + Phase acrobatics + Elusive - Wind dancer - Resist capped with Wise Oak - Wise oak balanced - Legacy Taste of Hate + some armour for physical mitigation. - The only things I'm dying from are degen effects and on death effects where the are no mobs to leech off. Utility - Headhunter for mapping, Stygian for bossing - Dash for mobility Would really want some help on further min maxing my character hopefully without resorting to mirror gear, if there's anything I've stuffed up in my PoB calculations, let me know as well. Thanks! Had to log in and say. I salute You Sir/ Her/ She / Male or Shemale. thats some impressive stuff you got there. Frickin VC-pill.

So Curse on Hit Assassin's Mark is gone for rings...looks like frostbite is the only thing that would be of any benefit in it's place. So would frostbite on hit be worth the price? Otherwise it seems like the rings would just be life/res/something else helpful.	Posted by PanderingFool on Sep 22, 2020, 8:34:48 AM Quote this Post

I've tried to put the rings with the updated curse affixes into PoB but they don't seem to work. Thanks for reading! IMO, your partial phys to cold for barrage is not efficient enough, you have a relatively high phys bow, but only converting 40% to cold and about 30%(due to increased flask effect) to lightning. I would just get a pure phys bow, and use rare gloves with culling + abys + T1 AS, and crafted phys conv to cold mod. With that you can take out added cold, and swap in VP, which should give much higher dps. You can get intimidate on gloves too, or from lethal pride. And u can change the curse cluster into another pure dps medium cluster. It seems that your build is more tweaked on the defensive side, personally I wouldn't do that for an iceshot/barrage build but that's personal preference anyway. I have a much more offensive setup, while still able to reach almost 7k life, and ele res cap without any flasks. Also, just curious that your legacy Kaom + Vinktar worth 7 Mirror+, why would you not be able to afford mirror tier gears on other slots though. Personally, I would say that Tempest Mantle is a beast for this build, the dps it can bring to such builds is crazy, and I would definitely choose it over Kaom.

Which build is that and what gear do you have? Can't find it amongst your characters or am I blind?	Posted by boondoxsaints on Sep 22, 2020, 12:58:17 PM Quote this Post
" tffiad wrote: fun and squishy :D by luck i got a div card which was 15c worth, sold it and bought death harp for 5L. then bought hyrri bite and and just smoothly made it from lvl 32 to 60~, grabbed rat's nest, added inc crit strikes supp to links, kept barrage at 4L helm. with such equip killed kitava, had about 1500hp :D totally glasscannon, ripped few times in heist because it seems another derilium with overboosted mobs lmao. got to maps, sold a dropped CiP, bought tabula, clusters, capped my resist, gonna make 6L bow next. the only problem i think is how squishy build is, atm just playing with 2500hp, i didnt rly boost it, since i have no good rares, but generally ill be able to get to 3k hp. still waiting for cheap prices for abyss jewels. rolling it to 5k hp will be most tricky part of build i think. In Heist, so far only one build is over 5k life (and has got way too low dps). The top chars with a chunk of dps are about 4,8k in life, so it really takes a while of minmax atleast in temporary leagues to get past 5,5k I think.

If you can help me to get the setting to if its really capped, that would be appreciated. Unless, of course, you have resistances on your stygian and the pob is indeed showing me hh on a straight import. Let me know, thanks!	Posted by andrew8448 on Sep 23, 2020, 1:23:06 AM Quote this Post

The jewels should be there, you just need to assign points on the tree urself for clusters. Those and the 20 fire res on lethal pride should cap the res	Posted by lazyrabbit711 on Sep 23, 2020, 1:39:12 AM Quote this Post
