Hi Mantol, Thanks for the great guide. Here is where I am at so far this league, any tips what can be fixed or what my next upgrade/focus should be? https://pastebin.com/eBAhjkK0 Thank you!

I'm currently on a 8ex budget and was wondering if that would be enough to start with to go trough most stuff; sirus, t14-15, simu etc. and how well is the survivability on that build so far. thanks a lot ! Hello, with an 8 ex budget I would think it's possible (Well rolled Death's Opus, 6L Hyrri's Ire, corrupted Voidfletcher, etc.) but don't take my word for it, since I didn't do a price check. You'd need to go through each item on your own at the current market price you're planning to play the build. " LemonInc wrote: Hi Mantol, Thanks for the great guide. Here is where I am at so far this league, any tips what can be fixed or what my next upgrade/focus should be? https://pastebin.com/eBAhjkK0 Thank you! From skimming your build, I'd say: 1. Brutal Restraint jewel 2. Bow upgrade (I'll post something on it in my next post) 3. General equipment upgrade (you can tone down your chaos res in favour of more life in general, as life helps tank phys & elemental damage sources as well as chaos, as opposed to just chaos res) 4. Dying Sun is recommended to help clear & stack Voidfletcher voidshots. 5. Watchers Eye p.s. Also I see you're checking 'Elusive' and 'Enemy intimidated' at your POB, but I don't see your source of elusive or intimidate, so you might want to uncheck those.

" mantol456 wrote: I've worked around a decent upgrade for the bow (but not cold dex bow) that you can craft for probably less than 10ex, but can go way up if you're unlucky. 1. Obtain a base bow with high APS with no influence. Slots/links are not important as you only need 1 6L for this build (which should be in your body armour). The top 3 IMO are Thicket Bow, Imperial Bow & Spine Bow. Honestly they are very comparable to each other 2. Fossil craft the bow until hitting 28++ quality 3. Essence-spam until it hits 'Bow Attacks fire an additional Arrow' (T2). T1 additional arrow has a weightage of 100, but T2 has 1000 which is much easier to hit and this build functions well enough without T1. Essence craft will fix-craft the T2 Added cold damage to the weapon, so you just have to worry with the additional arrow mod. 4. Depending on the outcome of step 3, they may be multiple route you need to take, but what you need to do is have 1 (or ideally 2) open prefix with no open suffix. This can be done via annulling. The only prefix left for your bow should be the essence modifier 'added cold damage' 5. Use Aisling's 'add a veiled mod to a rare item' 6. Unveil craft and hope you hit beneficial mods: - Cold damage gained as extra chaos - Attacks penetrate % elemental resistance - Increased phys damage - Flat added damage 7. Depending on step 6, you can complete your prefix with the another Aisling's mod / benchcraft. 8. If you have any remaining suffixes, you can augment craft with harvest as aug crit / aug speed. You can also use Aisling's add veiled mod again. Mods to look for: - % chance to deal double damage - % increased attack speed, % to quality - % critical strike chance, % to quality - % attack speed while a rare / unique enemy is nearby Though you probably won't be wanting to risk the later stage with Aisling, because there's always a chance none of the mods are good. It's not as good as a cold-dex bow, but if you could get lucky it's definitely an upgrade over high-rolled Death's Opus (can go up to 20% more DPS). You can try it out at https://www.craftofexile.com/ just to have a feel for it. I've been searching around the market, and found the following: The thicket bow I bought for 15c (definitely undervalued lol), and the Spine bow I got lucky by spamming Essence of Hatred and hitting Merciless. As you can see, what's left for these bows are crafting on them Aisling added veiled mod (~3ex current market price) and benchcrafting the last slot (max 1ex cost). This brings the total costs to around 5 ex. You could spend up to 1 ex to prepare the base bow. Aisling veiled mods can still brick you with all 3 non-beneficial mods, but it's way worth it as you can actually select rolls. The best thing about these non-cold dex stacking bow is that you can still use harvest craft for target spam (preferrably speed augment / crit augment), just hope you don't hit projectile speed. Based on POB numbers, I could hit 20+% more DPS from perfect-rolled Death's Opus. A high-end Cold-dex stacking bow is 27-35% more DPS, mirror tier maybe around 40-45% more. You'd probably need Dying Sun to compensate the one that doesn't hit additional arrow, but I'm just trying to prove that an acceptable bow can still be acquired for <10ex.

Here is my POB : https://pastebin.com/3j398Uc9 Thank you for your help. Best regards, It seems there's something wrong with your POB, there's too many items & skills. Anyway what can be seen from the get go: 1. Bow upgrade (I'll post something on it in my next post) 2. Drop bismuth flask for quartz flask (I see your uncapped resistance is over 60% more) 3. Dying Sun is recommended to help clear & stack Voidfletcher voidshots. 4. Non-pierce implicit Voidfletcher 5. Hit chance is 96%, you need to get it up to 100% 6. Amulet anointments 7. Higher rolls of Hyrri's Ire, Mark of the Elder, etc. My Youtube channel guide: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuOAAZyUPDtInV9UDiH4BBw	Posted by mantol456 on Apr 27, 2021, 4:23:35 AM Quote this Post
I can say that I had a moment when I easily cleaned t16 but had problems with the guards or sirus but now t8 sirus takes a maximum of 1 portal, the damage began to be enough even in solo target. and I donT change gems on bosses. The assembly is chic. my immediate goal is XX (although I bought a great belt recently) and think about what can be done with clusters.	Posted by Alcodance on Apr 27, 2021, 6:02:52 AM Quote this Post
Thank you for this amazing guide. What should i focus in order to improve my stuff? Here is my POB : https://pastebin.com/pVDT9Wqa Thank you very much for your help.	Posted by WolcreX on Apr 27, 2021, 6:47:59 AM Quote this Post

Hello mate, there's a few things you should be doing still. 1. Get a helm with Summon skitterbots enchant 2. Non-pierce implicit Voidfletcher 3. Get a higher-rolled Hyrri's Ire and 6L it 4. Anointments on amulet 5. Bow upgrade 6. Watcher's Eye 7. General rare equipment upgrade 8. Enduring composure cluster jewel 9. Awakened gems You should focus on what will give you the most bang for your buck, which depends on the current market price at the point of time. p.s. I don't mind people asking me if they don't understand things from the guide or asking about some changes they'd like to make, but it doesn't seem people are really understanding/following the important, albeit already explained portions of the guide, and then coming to me with POB asking on how to improve. People, if there's still things you haven't done from what I've mentioned in the build guide, please do those first before asking for spoonfeeds. I'd rather you ask me why the guide is telling you to do so & so, because at least then I'd know that you're actually trying to understand the build.

Okey, so I'm quite a newbie and I don't understand the purpose of Brutal Restraint jewel. Why we want to not have a helmet?? Last edited by IcesLord on Apr 27, 2021, 8:43:47 AM	Posted by IcesLord on Apr 27, 2021, 8:41:51 AM Quote this Post

We don't use the changed keystone (the location of the timeless jewel won't even reach any keystone), but we're using the smaller random modifiers granted on nearby notables. Try to read up / watch some youtube vids on how these jewels work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJGQyBwZJR8 My Youtube channel guide: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuOAAZyUPDtInV9UDiH4BBw	Posted by mantol456 on Apr 27, 2021, 9:03:44 AM Quote this Post
