Hello all,

I'm a bit mixing things with both this build and http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2492780/page/1
this build. Both builds are crazy fun with clearing and so, but the big issue remains to be the bossing dmg.
I'm starting to wonder how I should even play barrage or scourge arrow vs the bosses. I feel that scourge arrow keeps me safer than barrage, but still, the dmg isn't coming vs tier 8 juiced metamorph. Is it just that bosses are that much harder since 3.9 or is it just somewhere essentially wrong in my current build?

Lioneye's fall is coming soon btw, nearly there with the chaos gaining.
https://pastebin.com/nxd3F5qM is my PoB.

And could you share your tactics vs the bosses that have high action speed, as some metamorphs throw a huge barrage of fast attacks and follow you to the end :o.

Thanks in advance!

only way to scale single target is to get better gear. once you get lion eye fall and hyrri ire, you should be fine till sirus. meta bosses can get quite hard if fully juiced. i try to kite them if they do fast attacks or giant single hits. other wise i just try to face tank and evasion dodge it. can usually do t10 meta in 10-20 seconds.

Hello all , thanks for the build Aquarism it is really satisfying fun shatter clear, wanted to ask if can help with what should I get next, have about 5-6exa to upgrade (I dont feel like i need 6-link for the AoE, been doing t16 maps with 5link + 6link barrage and it works fine most issue i have are only single target metamorphs) in my opinion it should be the quiver but iam not sure.

Just 6linked chin sol trying it out with point blank

Thanks in advance for suggestions,
and I wish marry Xmas to all :)

your quiver seems fine for now, upgrade jewels perhaps, get 4 affix on all. dying sun would be a nice upgrade too. or pandemonious, but your amulet is quite good. do not use icebite in barrage unless you can sustain 7 frenzy charges, before then use added cold. lvl flame dash as high as your int allows.

Can someone help me out? I have trouble surviving in red maps and my single target dps is not high enough. :/

get a curse on hit ring. try to get a Hyrri ire for a lot more damage. youre resist is slightly off the cap.

Assuming you can offset to resistance loss from Thread of Hope, if you socket a medium one near Golem's Blood you can grab the +1 mininum frenzy/endu charge nodes which also grant frenzy/edu charge on kill.

This will also allow you to spec out of the 3 10% proj dmg nodes but you lose art of the gladiator

I am very intrested in this jewel, once i get one i will hop on my scion bot and test all possible combos ^^

if you have the time please test if a 6-link ballista would improve the boss damage together with the 6-link ice shot - barrage support version you have for bossing.

ice shot- barrage support deals less damage than a traditional barrage. I don't think a 6l ballista would be worth it, it makes clear slower. I will edit this reply if my test shows otherwise.

Anyone tried both single target links and noticed which one performs better?

ive detailed the differens in the swap section under gems.

I dont have any videos sorry, I will try to get one in the future if I can.

Without dark rays is it possible to get 7 frenzy charges?

yes gloves corrupt. standard you can get boots corrupt

Had sirus at 20% today, first real attempt, all of my deaths were due to the stupid moving hurricanes. (The actual fighting was easy) I have this build almost maxed for league (I have no difficulty with anything anymore - single target and AOE...and close to 5700 life (may have that shortly as well)

This build is incredibly fast at farming, and just be sure to prioritize barrage over ice shot when gearing the 5 and six links. Survivability is a MUST - do not ignore life for pitiful gains in damage.

whats so bad about piercing on voidfletcher? voidfletcher is insanely strong.

im planning to play pathfinder instead of deadeye. i think mapping will be slower, but permanent flasks will help a lot on boss fights. Whats your opinion?

Hi this is my first time actually trying out a build and was wondering if anyone had any tips or ideas how to help me. My clear is pretty good but I definitely struggle on bosses and have pretty low hp/resistances. https://pastebin.com/9aEdeAuY

Also, Aqua. Do you think once they fix the Metamorph bosses can't get freeze, a Ice Shot + Barrage Support would be worth it besides less damage than Barrage?

Try to get more lifes on your rares. Helmet, gloves and your ring has way too low life rolls. That might help. Also level a bit more and maybe get life nodes on those next levels. (I'm not home, so I can't check your POB right now)

piercing is not inherently bad, its just chaining is so much better. projectile behaviour says we have to pierce first before we can chain, this lowers our clearing potential, as there might not be mombs after the first one they pierce, thus not chaining.

if you have enough damage you can easily burst down bosses before the flask effect ends.

I am happy someone made it to end game with my build :) merry christams.
