[3.11] Aquarism's Ice Shot [All Content]

I am really strugling with clearing T6 maps at this point.

My clear speed seems kinda OK, but when it comes to single target, I really feel like my DPS is low.

Metamorphs keeps on wrecking me COMPLETELY, and I just die constantly.

Would anyone be able to have a look at my char, and give me some pointers?
Because at this point/rate, I am getting really demoralised about this build... :-(

Can you play this build as Raider?

I'm building this on PS4 focussed on IIQ.

What is the best corruption for Sadima gloves? Curse on hit lvl 12 elemental weakness?

Does frostbomb + ele weakness stack or do they override eachother?

What about aspect of crab instead of spider? especially in this one shot league. once my enlighten levels up i'm gonna try it, i also have 10% incoming phys dmg into fire dmg, so will help even more with dying sun fire dmg reduction. we dodge most attacks, so we won't lose crab barriers all the time

I am kinda short on currency and not sure about damage on full life support yet, since i cant keep full life most of the time. What would u recommend instead for now? Cold pen/cold damage

Some tips where to navigate in talent tree ?

I am high as acrobatics and low as thick skin.

I probably go for master fletcher + heartseeker and after that heart of the gladiator

level 37 atm. :|

edit: nevermind, you had leveling tree avaivable on pob. thanks :o

Hey,

I was wondering what your thoughts are on using Farrul's Fur + Bite for permanent charge uptime during bosses. PoB says it is less raw dps but I feel like it would do consistantly more dps overall.

Farrul's fur will be nice for Perma uptime, but it is very expensive. with enough aps and crit we can have permanent uptime with just quiver. Hyrri's added cold is just too good to pass on.

If it wasn't suggested or mentioned before, the Fury Valve amulet provides a non-awakened Fork Support, which frees up the former for something else in the 6L for Ice Shot in mapping. I was debating on making a hardcore character for this league, grab at least a variant with max or near-max all res and proj. speed, and then die and have it on my standard character lol. I honestly think it effectively replaces Pandemonius if you add in Inspiration, Cold Pen, or going all out on clearing with chain since you don't have to decide on that or Fork. I think it's worth testing.

I believe split would function similar to chain/fork, a clearing mechanic. it will lower our dps on barrage, I will need to test it out when I get one.

Ive always been melee but this league i want to try something new but i so used to jumping into groups instead of staying away. What is your sequence of attacks on most fights, large groups/boss/waves, and by this I mean when going into a fight what order do you use which skills.

when fighting bosses, pop vaal grace, then frost bomb, and shoot him. use flame dash to dodge big attacks, if you have point blank get in to melee range.

raider would be tankier and immune to ailments, for pure damage and movespeed deadeye is better, and clear speed too.

only 1 curse can be applied at a time unless you have source of additional curse. corruption try to get +1 frenzy, ele weakness on hit is good too.

the idea of this build is evasion and manual dodge, some metamorph mechanics will 1 shot you if you are not paying attention, like those crawling black things. you can use any aspect you want.

added cold/inspiration/hypothermia/ ice bite if you can sustain 7 frenzy

Tree
- You have lion eye fall, respec the mana leech node near arrow dance.
- You have chain in ascendency, take out omen on the wind.
- you spent 2 points on 30 int and strength node, they are better aquired from gear.
- dont path to a jewel socket unless you have a decent jewel.
- fleetfoot is used in mapping setup not bossing.
Gear

- get a corrupted 6l
- use oskarm or surge binders gloves
- as soon as you get death opus, at least 4l, you should clear to t10 no problem.

First of all you dont have a single 6L and that the first thing that is slowing your damage, second are you guys really getting the opus looking at your pob? Opus its only best than arborix when you have a ridiculous amount of crit in the build, and for that gear you need to invest a LOT, usually arborix its cheap and have way more damage than opus.

other upgrades can be getting dying sun, the iceshot enchant etc...

I will test it out in std, and perhaps add it to the gearing section. with guardians being rarer, the price for this bow will likley be high.
