[2.4 updates] Voltaxic Volley Fire Barrage Deadeye -- Well Barrage is now #1 Bow Skill

Anyone try Voidwalker boots with this? free pierce and projectile avoidance seem ideal.

Also curious how this feels on T16/Shaper. Obviously the poison immune guardians are going to be tough.

in term of dps, if you change gear and build a little, would reach of the council not do more dps? atleast single target?

or am i assuming tottally wrong?

my roommate runs this build, has for about 2 weeks, extremely satisfied with it. he thought a reach would be the natural progression, he got one and sold it last night within a few hours. He said it felt clunky as hell. I imagine Volaxtic is BIS here because it gives % to poison if you stack lightning.

My build is almost perfect (still not +2 arrows on helmet though) and I was using Voltarix 5L for several weeks. Yesterday I accidentally 6L a Lioneye's Glare (with less than 100 fusing! w00t!) and I switch to this brand new 6L instead of voltarix.

First, the damage was better (from 5L voltarix : 34k fully buffed, to 45k with 6L lioneye) which is always nice. The main difference is the leech : since Lioneye's glare has a lot more phys damage, the leech is way better.

I'm still tweaking the gems linked to barrage (phys proj instead of faster attack?) but I kept the added lightning + WEP (with all my +lightning gears, the dmg is good).

I drop few nodes from the tree that give more accuracy since this is no longer required with Lioneye's glare.

IMHO, 6L volatrix is better than 6L Lioneye's glare though.. but I don't have a 6L volatrix yet.

What you say about this 6L :
Barrage - Add Lighting - Pierce - WED - Slower Poj - Fast attacks
will this work ? i rlly like how it feels

That's exactly what I'm using. I tried using a 14% quality Phys proj support gem instead of fast attack, but the dmg wasn't good enough to my taste.

20% quality Fast attack remains my favorite!

I forgot to add a draw back to use 6L Lioneye's glare : Can't do phys reflect map anymore (obviously). I'm leveling a quality Phys to Lightning gem so I'm might test that.

Hi, I'm using your build and I don't get the same dps as you, I got the 3 volley fire and my tree is same (except I took life nodes instead of Lethality and 1 node around, will get them in 2 levels. Took vaal pact to avoid reflect and low leach. Got 5180hp and 52es, 12.228 eva and the problem : 17.950 hideout barrage dps, 21.284 with atziri up, something like ~~22k with 3 frenzy charges w/o atziri. What am I doing wrong? This build is very fun but I'm not actually as good as intended.

I think the first thing to do is upgrade your jewels, you can get some pretty good ones with multiple useful damage mods for fairly cheap. After that you probably want to look at some big ticket upgrades like a cospri's will or a +2 barrage rat's nest which will also let you upgrade your gloves. This is obviously an annoying route though since you would need a new 6L. 20q'ing all your barrage gems is a nice boost too.

You could also look at sacrificing a lot of the life for damage mods like kindevu proposed a few pages back. I messed around with it for a little bit and it did add a bunch of damage at the expense of squishyness. I wasn't particularly bummed with the damage even at your level so I went back to the life though.

Anyone tried shaper yet ?

Try to replace Increase crit for Slow proj.
