Hey I started your build in the new SC league, i got a little rusty since i havnt played for couple of months, do you think you could give me some infos because i feel your build is semi outdated
1) Gem Setup for Tornadoshot 4L 5L 6L: At the moment i use physprojdamage, faster attacks, critmulti (ony have 4Link atm)
2) Gem Setup for Single Target Frenzy or Puncture? and complete Setup for 4L 5L 6L
3) Golem (havnt played with one yet suggest ice golem is the right choice)
4) Vaal Pact, I feel like its so close to the route its a must take ? (except if you have acuities)
5) Is Abyssus an Option? The Damage should really explode i guess
Since you havnt really posted something on a lot of pages i hope you red this and will give me some help (or any very experienced player with this build)
Its my first bow build i am usually more the dagger guy ;)
1) I think you can stik to the suggested order shown on Page 1. You NEED to have GMP in your 4L! That will greatly increase your damage output due to the shotgunning of the second projectiles (yes, they still shotgun. Though technically it's not called shotgunning).
2) See page 1. General rule ( for atziri you want to get max phys dps, whilst for other content you can max dps using e.g. the PhystoLightning+WED combo)
3. Ice Golem
4. I think it's a must take, and use it myself. I even use Life Leech gem a my 6th link in TS setup. Helps a TON with survivability. Content difficulty has been cranked up a bit.
5. Actually Abyssus is a very bad option because the crit multi only applies to melee damage. Rat's nest will give you a better damage boost, while also increasing your survivability.
Hope this helps.
thanks alot also valy thought it doesnt shotgun anymore so i thought stuff would change a bit, also was confused about wed/phys to l because i felt this was a pretty much phys oriented build (also since leech went down so much you wont leech as much?)
and abyssus was stupid of me lol always played some high phys crit chars melee ofc ;)
Back in 1.3 the Increased Crit Damage gem got nerfed hard, so going full phys is no longer as viable as it used to be. The PtL+WED combo not only increases your tooltip dps, but also actual dps because of the shock effect.
As far as leeching less, that actually depends quite a few factors, such as the amount of damage you're dealing, your max mana/life pool, and increased leech rate from gear/passives. All I can say here is that you have to try and see how it works in your situation. I've got 1.2% mana leech in total, and don't have any problems sustaining it. Same goes for life leech, though I'm using Vaal Pact, and Life Leech gem as my 6th link in my TS setup.
I'm wondering if I still should be using Drillneck (as I don't see it being used so often) or switch to rare quiver and replace pierce gem with WED (or whatever).
lol, equiping lvl 1 WED increased my dmg by nearly 7k (equiping rare quiver gives ~1k tooltip dmg + ~110hp)

Is there any particular reason why Rat's Nest and Maligaros Gloves are kind of expensive right know? Both items go for 4ex+ and while its early in the league, i cant remember these items to be that expensive before.
Did GGG change their rarity or smth?

According to this thread https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1152638/page/1
the rarity tier of mali's and rat's nest is still the same.
I think most of the sellers are just greedy and try to make profit early in the league tbh. I would never pay 3ex+ for one of these uniques. I would rather buy a new bow.
But how do you mitigate blood rage`s damage per second?
Get Life Regen nodes from the tree. Though they will not work if you use Vaal Pact. In that case I recommend using the skill called Frenzy to build Frenzy charges.
Guys, what is the best way to easily generate Frenzy/Endruance/Power charges?
i'm running Tornado Shot, Puncture, Ice golem
with herald of ash and hatred or grace.
Obviously my gear is not the best but I dont have big issues. I'm just wondering how to get all the charges up.
Thank you :)
Blood Rage for frenzy charges, Assassins Mark/Power charge on crit strike for power charges, self cast enduring cry for endurange charges.
Frenzy: Once blood charge is activated just keep killing stuff and you will have max charges 100% of the time
Power charge: you either self cast assassins mark or CoH( see post 1 for setups) or put pcoc in your skill setup (also post 1 for setup)
Endurange: You need to cast enduring cry manually now due to it's shared cooldown with immortal call
For endurance charges you can also use Warlord's Mark if you don't mind the damage loss due to not using Assassin's Mark. When using Warlord's Mark you'll have to get your power charges by using PCoC.
