Can you post your POB? Won't be able to see what you're doing otherwise.

sure :)

Hi am looking to start this build as my 2nd in this league. I was wondering if the screen clear mobs happens with Herald of Ice (I can see the buff but I cant see the MTX) - I just wanted a good Herald of Ice build to use with my MTX...

Thanks in advance guys

Hi! Can i use barrage as a single target dps, and chain in the place of cold penetration for ice shot? How good is that?

Sure you can, you just need to weigh on what you will gain & lose by doing so and see if it's worth it. I personally don't feel the need to use chain though, it clears well enough as it is.

There seems to be something wrong with the POB (multiple skills overlap) so I'll just take whichever's ideal.

First of all of course you won't be hitting 3M, you're not even on a 6L yet, so don't take mine as an immediate goal for now.

1. POB calcs not ticking the important stuffs (power charge, frenzy charge, etc.). I've done it for you.

2. You're not using Diamond flask / Quartz flasks. Why Sorrow of the Divine though? A normal sulphur flasks that you can roll will be much better. Jade flasks is extremely weak as compared to Quartz flask for this build, and you don't really need Quicksilver IMO.

3. How are you reserving your auras? You don't have the all important skitterbot enchantment and your precision is at too high of a level. POB giving me negative mana reserved so there must be 1/2 aura you're not activating.

4. You don't have any source of Onslaught. If Brutal Restraint is expensive to roll for now, try to get an abyss jewel on your belt that can grant Onslaught on kill / use silver flasks.

5. Before you get a 6L, try to find a well-rolled Hyrri's Ire first as it will be your BIS.

6. The bow is only very slightly better than a Death's Opus, so you should think of upgrading that later in the future.

7. Awakened gems

8. Not related to DPS but try to go for non-pierce Voidfletcher for better clearing

9. You don't need to allocate every point in the large cluster jewel & try to find a small cluster jewel with only 2 passive skills instead of 3.

I've helped you tick some of the important boxes in POB and changed your flasks. You can refer to it here:

Sure it does, as long as your attacks are critting. However HoI is just a supporting function for the build, not the main skill. But if all you're concerned about is the MTX then go ahead. Of course you can't see the MTX on my videos because I don't have any.

One last question. What do you think about the Farrul's Fur Triumphant Lamellar body armor? or Hyrri's Ire is better for this build?

One of the main pros of Farrul is frenzy & power charge generation, which the build already have for free. So it's not much benefits for the build vs Hyrri.

Do you think that, going as a Raider instead of Dead Eye could make this build more tanky? Ofc it will require to drop one of the gems from 6-link for GMP/Barrage but I am still thinking how to replace chain. I am still plying only with PoB so I can't test it. Maybe Piercing Shots (pierce 2 targets) + passive pierce from Voidfletcher will be enough?

Going raider requires you to spend points on extra frenzies, may introduce mana unreliability with the increased attack speed, and you lose gale force which is big part of surviving oneshots. Thats not to mention you have to figure out where to get +2 proj and chain from which is just going to fall flat for map clearing.

If I wanted more survivability, I'd probably just drop Hyrri's ire and go for something with tons of life. You lose less than a gems worth of dps dropping Hyrris and you don't have to solve your proj/chain issues.

Hey just started using your build, what can i do to optimize my damage aginst bosses, i clear everthing super fast but have a hard time against bosses here is my character link

For the beginning I will probably build my charaacter like OP did, but this option with Raider sounds nice too.

Basically what the other guy said, you can dodge more, but you're losing the wind ward less damage taken when you do get hit (which you will), so I don't think you'll be more tanky in that regards. Also you don't want pierce in the build, unless you're thinking of chain replacement then consider the threshold jewel instead.

Mind linking POB instead?
