Hey guys, first time posting in this thread but I chose this build as my starter for the league, always wanted to try pathfinder, and have enjoyed the build so far. There was a bit of a rough patch with the squishiness when progressing through red t12-14 maps but now that I have fortify anointment I'm feeling much better. So thanks Wolfie, the build has turned out great! Downed A4 Sirus and am now working through watchstones at A6.

The only question I have is, I have about 3 ex right now, what should I focus on acquiring next? I thought maybe a 6 link chest with -15 channeling cost.. because I cant use all my auras right now even with lvl 3 enlighten, I run out of mana right after 5 pods and before Infused Channeling buff happens. Or should I focus the quiver, or try to get a bow with open suffix so I can craft the chaos dot multi? So many decisions, I would appreciate any input you can offer!!

Hi Wolfie & others,

This is my 2nd league, i start playing from delirium.
Playing ice shoot deadeye before, kinda squishy but insane clear speed on map.

I tried this build as a starter in harvest league and having a really hard time adapting lol

I see you got high chaos res (73%), is it like a top priority to get?
Because I am planning to buy Circle of Nostalgia Synthesised Amethyst Ring,
with these offensive stat :
- xx% increased Chaos Damage while affected by Herald of Agony
- Herald of Agony has xx% increased Buff Effect

If defensive I can go with one stat :
xx% to chaos resistance while affected by herald of agony

Also, do you have tips how to do blight encounter on atlas map?
I mostly failed the encounter lol

Thanks

Glad you enjoy it so far.

I would either grab an Enduring mana flask with curse immunity / attack speed and grab a +1 arrow bow, or cratf -mana chest. Either will allow you to channel 5-stage SA without getting mana-blocked. Since you have issue with squishiness, perhaps a chest with -mana cost and some life/resist would be the better candidate.

Hey, I was also doing an Iceshot/Barrage build in Blight league. Still loved the legacy Death's Opus.

Your profile is private. May be posting your gears here would help others understand your progression better.

Cheers

Your damage is a bit low end.
- You currently don't have a 4/4 mods (see my previous post), lacking a dot multiplier by bench-craft.
- Add a 6-link SA with awakened chaos gem (and other awakened gem if possible) will help boost the DPS.
- Grab a chest with -mana and replace the enduring flask with some offensive flask to boost the DPS.
- Grab a quiver with +1 arrow (for single target), some life and resist.
- Wait for GGG on cluster jewel. If you really want some DPS boost, try replace your large one by a medium DPS cluster + enduring composure. Look like you crave DPS for the build to feel good rather than survivability.

A sample of an acceptable rare bow would have 4/4 like this:

(this one I crafted has 5/4 with an extra +attack speed. Ideally, you would want t1 hybrid poison chance/damage)

Build update for 3.11:

So far I have A5 Sirus down, and running through maps easily. Thoughts on some differences I utilized this league from the end of last league, where I went fully what Wolife suggested:

1. I really like the profane chemistry wheel. I'll take the 14% health and 8% flask effect over the 15% health for example.
2. Wolfie likes to save the points and go underneath Entropy. I really love the QoL skill duration gives with blast rain, so I do path through Entropy.
3. Wind Dancer feels huge
4. As mentioned a few pages back, I have a real personal problem dealing with Dash and Sirus. Like... i know its me, since everybody else is fine with it. But I CONSTANTLY dash and kill myself.
5. As per above, i switched to a withering step as my main move skill, and OMG what a difference. Even though this build is great, I always feel a bit clunky with dash. Now that is gone. Spots I used to dash around the edge of mobs and shoot, i now withering step through the mobs, who get withered and die from my original blast instantly, while I run right through them. Feels terrific. And other than the phase 4 cross flames, withering step feels great for me against Sirus. Deathless easily first try after adding it.
6. Absolutely love the corrupted Drillneck w/ pierce damage implicit. Crushes it mapping. For those having trouble bossing, I recommend Wolfie's two arrow setup. I personally think its overkill once you're used to arrow placement, BUT still may do a swap later for Sirus and other tough bosses.
7. I actually prefer temp chains to despair as my curse. Every once in a long while before, I would run into deaths. With temp chains, and even without getting hardened scars yet, this nearly never happens. And it happens even less with withering step.
8. I also highly, highly prefer the 40% scourge arrow damage to the +1 pods. Why? I was always very worried about getting to 5 pods for the extra 6th. In the long run, holding it too long was costing me DPS and life. And of course, shooting early we get nothing out of it. Switching to 40% damage made me feel a lot less pressured to be perfect. Again though - my switch is not a paper DPS increase, its a fairly significant decrease. For me it plays much better.

I realize this is made much more for this league, and NOT for Delirium 100% / Simulacrum. But id like to try it this way later with better gear. It is still lacking in a lot of areas, but honestly, for me, it feels even better than last league for most content. The next upgrade would be the neck and followed by hardened scars for me. Then a -15 chest, followed by fenumus gloves. But im shelving the guy for a bit, as my hands are tired :) Will be back in a few weeks for upgrades and to check this thread for new ideas. Thanks again Wolfie!



Wow update! It's great to see you alive and kicking my man. Look like you are off to a good start. Btw, love your twists on the original build (and I've been using Withering step on Sirus all time, too. I just don't use it in map quite often). Cheers

A8 just killed deathless. Still sad with investing 5 ex in crafting quiver and getting nothing :(

Hope today be a better day

Just take it easy and don't let it get to you. Maybe taking a short break from the game would help recharge yourself.

Also sell off the mediocre-rolled gears to recoup some investment is not a bad idea.
