Nice thing about the bow build is that you dont need a 6L chest, making the build a lot more attainable!

Yeah, I cringe when I see someone that 6-linked a Perfect Form rofl. Phase run consumes frenzy charges and it already has inc duration on the link so I'm not sure spending to get more frenzy would be that useful.

My next 4 points would obviously be for going into the 2 jewel nodes left. I'm hoarding money to buy a Headhunter for another build, so I might not spec into those jewel nodes until I actually buy a Watchers Eye and another good jewel later in the league.

Does Temporal chains stack with despair ? how many curses can i stack on enemies?

Still, even in a final build: how useful is Dreamer and Scantity? Both seem of relatively low value.

Dreamer synergizes to some degree with Arcane Will, although that's also two points which could be removed. They could easily all be unspec'ed, if there are no mana issues when you're fighting a big boss. There's nothing too amazing left (besides the jewel nodes) so the tree is flexible for whatever small QoL fixes the gear is not providing, i think..

Amplify is another option that requires 2 passive points to get, and I can remove a +10 int node if I decide to spec into that.

Thanks for the feedback!

Well, I six linked mine when I was still using a wand and a shield. I only went for a bow build because I got a 6L short bow from The Void. Now that I use Bane/Soulrend, I dual curse with Bane. I'm not mad at it.

I use both - but I took the Whispers of Doom cluster to do it. You can only apply one curse at a time unless you take the passive or have gear that will allow you to apply more than one.

Would anyone mind taking a look at my tree and gear and let me know what direction I should head in? I'm not sure, but I feel sort of confused by the phase acro while stacking ES route, and I want to make sure I'm doing it right.

I know that I need to replace my helmet, which is what I'm going to do ASAP, I was riding the resists for a while and honestly haven't been having too many issues, but I'd like to take the build to the next level while farming up some currency and fill any gaps I might have.

I made something for the build looking for suggestions for multimod.

I'm pretty stumped about the best ways to increase my survivability. As soon as I got to T11 maps and alch + corrupted them, I keep getting one-shotted (it might be the curses...). Especially against the big legion mobs. I have 4.2k health, 2.2k ES, 8k evasion and pretty good gear (I think). I'm just running malevolence and discipline and EB + MoM, following the tree pretty close to build guide. I keep having to resort to toteming and then running away during legion fights.

Any ideas? I feel like there must be something obvious that I am missing.
