How good is
for this build?

For me, those are a pretty good pair of gloves. I'd use them to specifically farm for cards in Sub-T6 maps. The problem as I see it, is the monster damage and chance to hit jumps a little when you start into the yellow tier maps. If you are playing carefully these would continue to work and be really strong, but a high rarity high life pair of gloves will suit the build better into the mid and above tiers of maps.

So for MF what belt use ? And amu Bisco is bis ?

The belt slot in this build guide is utilized to gain resistance and very high live rolls to make up for the resistance loss and lack of life in the ring spots. A tri-resist with life leather belt is recommended (an open prefix for movement wouldn't hurt either). If you were to lean more towards MF than survival you could evaluate either Perandus Blazon or Bisco's Leash.
The Amulet would be a Shaper gold amulet with rarity, life, quantity, and a needed resistance. Yes for most MF builds Bisco's is best in slot for the single focus of MF. Keeping your life pool higher and resistance balance are a little more important in a Damage over Time build, where you cannot kill the monsters any quicker.

--But--

Overall the the goal of the build guide is a balance between MF and survival, if you want to eschew one for the other, go for it.

Serleth, chime in with math, or if I explained anything poorly...

No, sorry. Leveling guides are constantly changing as new skills and uniques are introduced to the game, and it became very aggravating to keep updating basically two guides for one build.

That said, Raiz put together a very good overall guide for leveling bow characters that should still be pretty current.

I played this build in like 2.6 or mso.. is it end game viable in 3.3?
have finally gotten used to the lab... I dont hate it anymore.:)
Up to about t13 maps or so pretty comfortably. T15 if you've got some moves.

While it can do Shaper/Uber Atziri, it's REALLY difficult. You have to play pretty much perfectly with the way this build is constructed. Do not recommend.

CA's fallen behind in power level since about 3.0. Needs a buff.

Grats on another 40/40 Serleth!
Thanks.

It'll be my last.

The increasingly long grind to 40 is taking away from my enjoyment of the game. By the time I'm done with it these days, I'm done with the leagues, even good ones like Incursion. Just burnt out. No desire to push new characters or builds or try funky farming strats or anything.

I was thinking the same thing.

40/40 should be challenging and fun - and not something that seems like a job. I thought that GGG struck a really good balance between fun and tedium for 40/40 about 4 leagues ago. Wished they would have kept that balance.

Agreed. Harbinger was the last good league, imho, as far as challenges go.

GZ Serleth.

Challenges
You both made it farther than I did in keeping the 40/40 dream going. I think the challenges in Beast league were a good indicator for me to enjoy the game as the game, and not to focus (exclusively) on 40 challenges (I will still collect the 12/24/36 MTX, those are generally fun). Setting other goals will still happen, general elements to keep me motivated, but it is a nice feeling to have them on my terms. And increases my enjoyment of the game by working on my own things.

This league compounded on the reality that 'Challenge' does not always mean what I think challenge should mean. 'Use these devices' was not challenging, but demoralizing. The quickest way to get it done was to spawn one zone over and over pull the lever and hope the rooms came up right. Once that set of rooms came up right, pull the level again and see if the outcome is what you needed. I truly believe RNG can be done with a good balance, but in this instance I need to agree with Serleth's account status.

In other news a bow character has been started. For the goal of finding currency. There are a few unique items I would like in standard, and with my 36 completed for the portal, I am starting up the farm.
