Hi, Wolfie!
Just wanted to say thank you for the amount of effort you put in this thread!
Had a lot of fun playing the build up to mid-league.
It's very fast, great at clearing, can take big hits, and it's very flexible in terms of flask setup, gem composition and gear. Awesome as a long-term project since I was not playing hardcore :)
One of the few drawbacks is life sustain, so you biggest enemies are degens and not being on full life (maybe i was playing soul tether builds for too long). Recover % life on kill might help, I just did not try it.
Looking forwad to finding out what you will come up with next!
Happy holidays everyone!

Hey Wolfie,

Absolutely loved this build in Heist, I think it's amazing and it worked incredibly for me as a league starter.

Have you any intentions to update this build for the next league? I'd love to play it again and push it further than I got this league.

I'll be making a major upgrade to the build in the coming week. Stay tuned.

Jade, MS, Withering Step and Enchant perhaps. Did i saw that somewhere i wonder?

Works good.

I suppose melee nerf and bow buffs from GGG are expected in 3.13, because that's the way the melee crumbles, league after league.

The closest one would be Aurican's CI-based armour-stacking Scourge Arrow PF. The build I am making can also go Transcendence (higher DPS but with less armour/defense than his).

Edit: the enchant is Barrage +1 arrow. I mostly use Frost Wall/Flame dash in deep delve instead of Withering step.

Rest assured that this build (and the one in the making) is no match for your claw poison build in terms of cost-efficiency.

Had to poke you a little. I hope you don't mind. xD

Looks amazing! I guess ill have to go into inspector Clouseau mode when you release PoB to see all the mechanics that make this happen.

GJ as always!

ps

I'm glad you stepped up with different flask setups. People in general don't like that (it's confusing for most) but swapping flasks takes few seconds and makes wonders for different content.

I don’t doubt this build at all but I find it delusional to achieve a end game setup within two weeks without an astronomical non-sensical investment.

If I remember correctly, you have already left quite a few comments in our thread previously about how bad our build was. I can understand your frustration, but at the same time, I've been upfront about the fact that this build is not feasible for short events or if you want to go ham for the first 1 or 2 weeks from league start. Setting out to complete this build just during the first 2 weeks, when the league is still developing, will likely leave a bad taste in your mouth. If you are looking forward to completing an interesting yet long project to clear all contents, including the hardest, this build may help you achieve what you come here for.

This build is non-meta and not an easy build. Although we are trying to make it more and more player-friendly, the sheer amount of interacting mechanics involved in this build does take time for one to digest. On the other hand, there are multiple builds that will get you what you need. There would be other builds that suit you better than ours. Please adjust your expectation by perusing our build description carefully.
