welp, this build got even more cheap: How to get a Paragon's with a +2 bow with Catarina lvl 8. https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/3hht78/so_this_is_how_we_managed_to_accumulate_72_mirrors/ Last edited by illmtk#1047 on Aug 18, 2015, 10:20:55 PM	Posted by illmtk#1047 on Aug 18, 2015, 10:20:32 PM Quote this Post
Yeah except once you get experienced at setting up these builds, you can farm the 3-8ex required to buy one early league faster than you can get Catarina 8. I had a +3 bow by day 3. There's no way you get Catarina 8 that fast. If you really feel like waiting for it to save some cash, nothing wrong with it. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

It's more for the people who are still running on a +2 5l, and (at this point in the league) should affect your gearing order. Since it'll cost only a few exalts more than a white 6l to get a +3 6l, it's definitely better to get that before a second Andvarius or a Drillneck, and probably better to get it even before the first Andvarius, as you'd get both a sizable increase in clearspeed as well as increased IIR from the gem while at the same time not having to sacrifice any resists.

Haha.. WHY didn't I think of it :( It's a genius method, now either I wait to get a cheap +3 with some other goodies or make one myself :) but guess what, all the good bases are gone already, and I bet this is the next step of their plan put the tinfoils on, boys! this build is perfectly fine without 6L, but who does not like to enhance an already well-working farmer?

Shameless sales drive Available on Tempest 1ex. Ahem. Yeah, good point Ruricon. Sidenote, I did a quick search, there is a Maraketh 6L available, blue, in Warbands, no price listed. In case anybody wants to try jump on that. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018. Last edited by Serleth#4392 on Aug 19, 2015, 2:15:55 AM	Posted by Serleth#4392 on Aug 19, 2015, 2:14:41 AM Quote this Post

Now for PA, with my actual setup (nothing overly fancy, just a 5L bow, no quality gems, LOT of room for improvement) I still can contribute well to group play like Zana 7+ rotations and high maps. The creator of this build even clears the highest maps, but he has much better gear and a mechanical skill of playing, too. Yes we don't play cyclone or SRS, but we do just fine in groups too! Now if you really are buying a lvl 20 PA gem make sure its not corrupted for a chance at a lvl 21 one. This build evolves around gem levels, that's why we aim for +3 bows and Empower to get those sweet PA levels. For map mods, we do all except the no-regen and BM ones, I avoid temp / chilled / -max just out of convenience, they are doable for sure. Reflect is no problem at all. Edit: if you don't aim for a magic finder build, I fear you have to look for another guide or adapt the parts with MF towards survivability or clearspeed. Thanks for the reply. Made me decice on this :). Ready to respec today. I just got a cheap corrupted lvl20 PA so I can use it for starters. Gonna try to level up a few to 20 and then vaal them.

Hi, if i ran 5L bow and a 4L chest , how this will affect the efficiency of the MF of the build? and what to drop for those for those links? Thanks in advance .. really excited about doing the build :D	Posted by omarGM#1651 on Aug 19, 2015, 4:26:29 AM Quote this Post

Thanks in advance .. really excited about doing the build :D The chest, not at all. It's just curse slots that go there (either manual cast or frenzy CoH). 5L you can either opt to use the IIR gem and sacrifice something else (probably AoE as long as you have a 20% PA), or keep AoE and go scale full dps instead until you get the 6L bow done. The latter is how I did it. You'll still end up with around 20/230 or so without IIR in, which is more than enough to help you push towards funding a 6L. I was able to farm roughly 3800 fusings in 1.5-2ish weeks (vacation) playtime with that ratio. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.	Posted by Serleth#4392 on Aug 19, 2015, 6:09:28 AM Quote this Post
Man I wish I would have read about that before I bought my 5L +2 bow and regaled it. But my Cat is only 6 and I have no exalts heh.	Posted by Shinare#4581 on Aug 19, 2015, 10:06:49 AM Quote this Post
