How much DPS does your Harbinger need to be to overpower a Death's Opus?

Look for my post a few pages back - I address this question there. Short answer: it depends on your gear/passives, but 300-350 pdps Harbingers start to distance themselves from Opus the more arrows you generate and the higher your crit multi is.

Gotcha. I'm at 537% crit multi so I figured it's time to move on to a nice Harbinger.

Don't take my char as an instance of what i've said. That is just a dps test.

Fair enough. Here's what it might look like on a pathfinder if we drop down to 6.6K ES:



948K tooltip on barrage. Still could be much higher with Hysteria crafted dps rings.

Is this currently viable in legacy? I have a currency farmer at the moment at lvl 90, and i am looking to make a good boss killing character for ~500c. Never played a bow character, so i am interested in this.

Thanks

I would say it does not work all that well at 500c. Until I got the barrage enchant, dying sun, lots of WED on jewelry / belt and a 350 pdps harbinger along with 4 different 3 dmg prop jewels the damage just wasn't there. As Diceman says in this forum thread the survivability actually mostly comes from vinktar leech, which requires large dps to keep you alive in breaches etc. Without high enough dmg you'll die early and often, and that's where the price tag comes in specifically w the barrage enchant and dying sun for bosses.

I can say however that Diceman helped me fine tune this build into what I have now, which essentially kills an uber izaro phase with 2 barrages for example. My current gear is linked below in case you'd like to check it out (P.S. intereting ammy I'm trying out at the moment).

It's also worth mentioning Diceman's point about jaws of agony is crucial vs. Uber izaro and other bosses that often normally don't let you walk in with power charges.

How you generate power charges?

i see that you have power charge on critical on your HOI setup but in my case doesnt work if i dont add an increased critical strikes support and still charge generation is pretty poor..

I generate charges mapping from the curse on hit herald of ice, normally swapping in assassin's mark instead of elemental weakness (I only use ele weakness for uber lab). I use a diamond flask on top of the crit I already have so mapping I always have full charges.

For bosses I have a weapon swap with Jaws of agony and multiple traps support per Diceman's suggestion, the item gives you a chance for a power charge when you throw a trap. I swap to this before uber izaro fights for example, then once I have max charges swap back and enter the room.

I give u 20 pure exalts on legacy league and u cant do uber lab with this build... pff...

Hi guys,

I´m playing this build since a few days (still getting my gear sorted) and have a few questions:
1. I´ve seen screenshots in this thread with ppl using herald of ash and others using herald of ice, which is the go to herald?
2. Bought myself a double legacy reach and don´t know which gem links I should use (2x 6L atm: LA-inc crit-pierce-slower proj-ppad-wed and barrage-power charge on crit-elemental focus-ppat-physical to lightning-wed) since I´ve quite low crit.
3. my signal fire quiver has a 17% of physical damage converted to cold damage corruption; I know that one can´t convert more than 100%, but does that fuck me over in any way?

thanks in advance!

Since you're running PCoC in your Barrage set-up it looks like you're not using Skyforth yet. Therefore, run HoI with CoH and Assassin's Mark for power charge generation when mapping. HoI gives pitiful damage, but we run it for cursing. Once you switch to Skyforth, switch to HoA for a big damage boost.

As for the links, remove PCoC from your Barrage set-up and run slower Projectiles for a massive dps multiplier. Use Jaws of Agony in your second weapon slot for power charge generation against bosses that don't have any adds at the start of the fight, such as Izaro or Shaper/Guardians.

For LA, the links can vary significantly. Start with PPAD and WED, and then check to see if adding Chain allows you to 1-shot most packs. If so, then run Item Rarity, Ice bite, and/or Innervate for the other links. Ice bite and innervate both improve your damage and your movespeed, and Item Rarity allows for more frequent unique drops and for completing unID'd chaos recipes if you're into that. If Chain results in worse pack clearing, run Pierce instead. With double legacy Reaches that should already be strong enough to clear maps with ease. Never run Slower Projectiles on an AoE skill.

This is a feature of the build :P. It's how the build keeps under the radar when it comes to the GGG nerfhammer. Singalshot is also one of the most powerful ethical (TM) builds in PoE. It's crap with low investment, and it begins to shine when you dump a lot of currency into it (the way that builds are supposed to work in arpgs...).

Hi. Can you recommend Important points when leveling up in the tree?
I thing good way is Primeval > Lethality > Vitality Void > King > Point Blank > Chaos and Ghost > Alchemist and Melding > Other?
