For those of you considering the build in BSC with a 80-150ex budget you can use my gear/experience for a marker.

Can't kill Shaper (failed 4 sets never making it to phase 3), struggle to do Hydra/Minotaur AT ALL, Chimera is deathless usually, Phoenix is easy. Haven't bothered with Uber Atziri or Izaro (both are probably easy). Everything under that is easy (as it should be with gear half as good as what I have to be honest).

In the Shaper fight I can't burn him down quickly. Even carefully picking my timing for the first piano of flasks and getting full value I need probably 3 full beams of DPS time. Balls (the triple ones) stun me 100% of the time, and the second one generally kills me (maybe the third one kills me). The Adds phase is brutal if full flasks aren't up, usually end up with 3-6 left when he starts attacking and again they will stun me 100% of the time usually resulting in death if from shaper's attacks.

Against minotaur/Hydra stun is again the problem, the DPS is there to burn them down until you get stunned by boulders falling or tagged by a cold orb.

I think problem MAY be ALLEVIATED (but not solved) by taking Druidic Ritual, but when comparing to the build's video guide I can see Blasting has 1.2k mana (333 INT) total compared to my current at 219 INT/843 mana. Not having Legacy Vinktar's (5 passive point journey to get generic Mana/Life leech), not having as 3x stun recovery from hybrid rolls on ES gear, and the lack of the +90 max mana between his two rings (which is equal to +450 life for stun calculations) means I'll likely still get stunned by T16 bosses and Shaper.

I'd love to get some input from others that are doing the build. I'm sure I can kill Shaper with my gear once I get better at the mechanics and maybe with a Kiara's flask.

i did new tree for you, you must be getting 1.1k+ mana with this. i'd say if you dont want to use kiara, on your jewel slots get mana%, ES% and some damage buffs.

the rest of your items are really good, but your bow is really weak, tbh good rolled chin sol would give more dps than that in boss fights with barrage.

dont overspam your flasks vs shaper with master surgeon, just use dying sun and vinktar, when you feel desperate use kiara too.

don't rely on stun avoidance, it's calculation is really b roken in this game, it's not additive as far as i've seen; what you need is bigger mana pool to deal with stunlocks.

My equipment till now.

Honest opinion? I know I still need to lvl that damn gems and color the fucking armor (took 1k chromatics yet didn't achieve 2/2/2 using every kind of formula possible).

Also, wtf only 7,6k es? 11k with vaal discipline.

Edit: been killed by the castle ruins boss because barrage damage apparently SUCKS.

Edit2: the defenses of this build are extremely low, I risk death at every boss, I wonder how I will be able to do izaro or shaper...

Edit3: 1 hit of any monster takes me 1/8 of all ES (7,6k), I'm being killed even by rogue exiles.

can someone explain me wtf i am doing wrong?

What?

Your tree is literally unplayable in breach... you gave up the attack damage life and mana leech meaning the build has no leech of either kind without Vinktars up. So if your vinktar runs out you can't attack anymore. All you "changed" was grabbing the already mentioned druidic ritual and Avatar of the Hunter (bow phys+ms) and dropping ES+all res. There's no way 23% increased takes 843 to 1,100 mana as I said earlier.


Also, how is my bow "weak" for a build focusing on high phys damage for 100% conversion? T1 flat, T2%, divined up to 90th+ percentile? Anyone looking for a bow in breach is going to struggle to even find one like mine much less divined that well.
