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

Thanks a lot for the well written guide and the nice build.

T16 mapping and Delve with level 83 mobs is a breeze and alot of fun, really nice build for clearing.

But although I have all mandatory items higher tier bosses are pretty tough to kill. Some of my rares could have better damage stats, but I'm asking myself if a helmet with -% cold resistence or a Hatred-Crit-Watcher's Eye would be the better upgrade for boss killing?

I'm on the fence between Cold Penetration support and Chain support for Ice shot. Is cold pen more for single target? If so, then I think chain support would be better for trash clearing right?

I could use some help with my items and tree, feels like i must have done something wrong?

Maybe its gem links?

Also could use some help with what to upgrade next.

Hi, Trying to adapt from another build because i'm struggling a lot with Single Target any tips? Currently on quite a strict budget, trying to avoid HH, any tips are welcome! https://pastebin.com/xzmu8GtK

Is there any way to get tankier? I mean, I know I'm not supposed to be hit but a boss in monster level 76 just one shot me (almost 4k hp) with a BASIC ATTACK.

Guys, is +1 max frenzy charges corruption on Darkray Vectors super rare or can't be reached in this league? 0 offers on market

You can't get +1 max frenzy charge implicit on boots.

Hey there, I'm really enjoying this build but since I'm super unlucky this league so far, progressing is a struggle. Any recommendations? Most other key items seem very expensive. (My char is called Coldnick)

Aside from using Hyrri ire, dying sun. You can using pure barrage setup for more damage. I dont think metamorph

ok peeps, ROTFL... i just dropped a mirror xD I need a list of priority improvements to my character, anyone please? xD

First, I hate you. I have never seen even a mirror shard ^^
Second, get a headhunter, you can buy good corrupted gloves with +1 max frenzy, a good quiver. you can fund 3-4 builds with a mirror.

Yeah. PS4 released march 2019 so I guess it got nerfed before that.

Legacy hyrri is now around 80ex on ps4. Should I go for qotf and stack eva?

Hyrri is still the best chest for DPS, even after the nerf, with qotf you need a lot of evasion to break even with the minus movespeed.

What's the best way to craft the +1 arrow quiver now that multimod is nerfed? Chaos spam?

I would just buy one. for crafting there are several ways, alt spam, augment, regal. or use essence craft. all quite expensive, buying one on market should be cheaper, you can use both shaped and warlord.

rare helm might not be the best dps option, but you can get a lot of life and resist to plug the resist hole. you can try starjonka, fractual thoughts. crit hatred helps a lot with frenzy sustain and damage.

Yes, you do not need that much damage for clearing, use 1 or more support gems for clearing, chain/fork/mirage archer.

For single target links, do not use icebite unless you have 7 frenzies, use added cold. barrage support performs about 20-30% less than pure barrage for DPS. get a curse on hit ring. dying sun would be a huge upgrade for you.

You need about 1k more hp, stack more evasion on gloves and boots.

You can only get it in standard, they are legacy and can no longer be acquired in the league.

xD I went with exchanging my gems to awakened versions and getting most 21/23 from others - that was a HUGE boost, changed gloves to gripped, really hard to find items to cap the resists and bbring a DPS boost, headhunter will place me on -20 resistances again xD
hard to find a quiver that would bring some res, life and frenzy + some stats that im missing

This is the gear that requires lots of work to min/max further:
