[2.6] SignalShot™ CI Full Ele Conversion TS/Barrage / Shaper & Uber Deathless / with video!

I have done a ton of testing with this build and tree variations that I thought I would post a couple of things:

Attack speed is a great thing - so much so that at higher ends IMO it makes using TS somewhat funner then LA and for bosses if you need it like in Core map, etc. where IMO is shines a little better then LA it can become huge having a ton of attack speed and for Barrage its fantastic yet those that push attack speed already know that - leech is not an issue with a high amount of attack speed & barrage vs bosses.

Crit chance - I was pushing to hit 85% - 90% to run tests yet even at 75% - 80% with charges up you are all going to do fine.

Accuracy - I feel most comfortable with around 2500 - 2600 which is in the 89% chance to hit range. We have so many arrows going off that the chance to hit and crit is magnified anyway. I was playing at 3300 - 91%ish and really do not notice any huge difference between 89% and 91% in general I.E. 3300 vs 2500ish. Sure you can tell a little yet nothing that is going to cause any issues at all even with Barrage.

I have done all content with no issues what so ever except a little bit of trial and error with Guardian of the Chimera until I got the mechanics down on getting to the clouds fast to respawn boss.

Great build. I find using Vaal Pact and some life/mana leech nodes a little more tanky vs full blown out damage and the complete dependence on Vinktars yet that's a personal choice and I also like to work a build into a HC viable type character which this can be with just a few changes in the tree.

Great Build, many variants can be used on the tree as some have done and all content is doable even with an average Harby bow or Reach.

Have fun everyone. I will take this character to 100 for sure as I also work on my old shadow/trap build to somehow make it t-16 viable since the old puncture trap build got washed away and much less usefull with these new guardians, etc.

Have fun

I did all endgame bosses yday on breach league. Had trouble with chimera and uber atziri trio sometimes(was killing ranged bitch/dual wield/cycloner). Got any tips for those 2 fights? Also how important is the penetration enchant on boots for skyforths? Uber lab is so boring :/ I also think that for shaper to go a bit fasteer i would need a second vinktar's, since i don't have a legacy. What setup would you suggest with 2 vinktar's?

Edit: for the trio i think i'm just missing dmg ,since when i didn't oneshot the ranged bitch i would die to the rain sometimes. I think i could also use vaal disc to help with that. not sure how to do cloud phase on chimera though ;/ Maybe mirror arrow/decoy totem works for that phase? (my es is 9k)

exactly, one of the best ways to deal with über trio is tornado shot stun/knockback lock them.

Right now sitting at lv 65 ... And feeling very dissapointed by this build.

I mean that damage isn't there for me. Aside from having like 5k es, my tooltip is like 8k TS on my 5 link Reach. King of The Forest outperforms this by alot espcially in terms of clearspeed.

I must be doing something wrong but It feels that without all the legacy / OP gear this build just isn't viable.

it is just maybe you are lvl 65, read guide carefully, this build is not for lvl 65 leveling. lvl 65 is just leveling. just grab some life gear, level it up until 85-90. then we'll talk, if you want, okay?

I started this build a few days ago(had farmed all of the gear with my bladeflurry build). It is very gear dependant(since its CI) compared to life based qotf. But if you got the gear,it is super fun and powefull.

exactly, all CI builds are gear dependant. this is a fact since beta days. i myself never convert my builds to CI after lvl 90 and 8k+ ES.

Just got one shot by a Strong Box Ice Nova in a T13 map. 82% cold resist (yes, flasks were all up) with 9200 hp and 8% elemental damage reduction from Nature's Boon. 3 days leveling down the drain. This game sometimes makes me want to throw my monitor out the window. Beware the Strong Boxes zzzzzzz.


Rant off.

Never been a fan of Pathfinder, but intrigued in this build. I saw you said its viable as Deadeye, which ascendancies? And what of Raider? Frenzy, plus status ailment immunity/phasing. Thoughts?

I wasn't a fan of pathfinder either, until i tried it last league. Having perma unique flasks up is OP. Unless you are too lazy to use them every 7-8 secs.
