Right now, with the state of my build (https://pastebin.com/w1BwsXja) I have trouble with Bossing in red maps and red-elder-guardians.. as i already wrote, i seem to miss quite a lot of my Barrage shots until I even run out of Mana. My single target dmg also seems to be too low (Giammafix has more than double of my single projectile dmg). Will I reach these numbers with upgrading my rings+amulett and jewels? I dont know .. I would be happy if you could take a look and tell me if the direction im heading is right?

Have a nice day exiles.

Hi there!
I'm taking a look at your character, got some advices.
You're still missing the Throatseeker nodes in the upper right part of the passive tree, which give 54% critical strike multiplier and it's a huge bonus. If you manage to reach level 95 you can spend those 3 points and complete the tree, in the meanwhile you might want to respec some nodes (the nodes to Phase Acrobatics or jewel slots).
You could upgrade your right ring with a diamond or opal one with flat lightning damage or % increased elemental or lightning damage. Levels of some gems matter, in this order: lv 21 Added lightning damage, Barrage/ Wrath level 21, Empower level 4. Attack speed or attack speed if you have crit recently are very good stats to have on jewels, keep in mind that I have jewels with 4 useful mods and level 21 gems (I'm going to link the updated PoB of my character when I come back home, though nothing really changed).
I can tell you that numbers of flat lightning damage and attack speed can improve significantly your dps, even 10 flat damage or 2% attack speed more can make a difference.

Hey Giammafix,

i did already start to upgrade my rings + amulett. Still searching for a good Diamond Ring which fits my resist-needs and has some accuracy.

I played a bit around in PoB and took all the passive nodes and pumped up the gem levels (https://pastebin.com/vV35wLUP). I am still missing 60k DPS compared to your build (per projectile!).

It looks like that every little flat lightning damage which you have more on the jewels/gear scales very hard with the barrage damage.

That is good and bad at the same time xD .. its good, because that means i just have to upgrade gear, the bad is - this is going to be a lot more expensive than i thought. Anyway, this will be my last build for the league i guess, so everything will be spent for this build.

I couldn’t break 4K health with queen following this build to the T at level 89.

How did you guys do it?

I switched to full abyssal myself and just kept a solid movement speed flask to make it feel less slow.

hmm, going over 5k life was pretty easy. Hitting 6k will be hard. You take starkonyas and +life on EVERY item except the wand.. theres no way you are not getting 5k+ .. Amulett 80+ life, Rings each 70+ life, Belt 40+, EVERY jewel at least +35 (two in tombfist, which alone give additional 6% on max life!) .. that adds up, together with the passives points you land easily over 5k.

And when you need a Quicksilver flask, i guess that you have done something wrong. You you need to have very high evasion on your shield (800+ i suggest) and have the right rolls on the flasks. Jade + Stibnite with the correct rolls gets you very easy over 45k Evasion which is needed to get the 100% movement bonus from QOTF. Then +30 from boots, +6 from shield, and +20 something additional on flask and voila, you are running around with over 150% movement speed.

ok this is the updated pastebin, hope it helps :)

yes I have spent a lot of currency especially on final upgrades, like the level 21 gems/level 4 empower, and the jewels with 4 useful mods.
that was my last build for the abyss league, and like you're going to do, I invested all my cash on it.
I've noticed that attack speed scales extremely well, sometimes better than flat damage :)

Barrage
This skill is currently a cornerstone of the most powerful Bow builds, granting unparalleled single target damage once players have found ways to give the skill additional projectiles.

Additional projectiles provide too great a damage increase (as the skill gains 25% more damage for each extra projectile). We don't want to simply reduce the damage of the skill, as this makes the skill much less useful before players have access to additional projectiles.

We're currently trying out a version of the skill that has a base of 5 projectiles per barrage, rather than 4, and reducing the damage to compensate. This will mean that a player will gain 20% more damage for each additional projectile.

Long term, we want to provide alternatives to Barrage that can compete with it, but its ability to scale with additional projectiles is so extreme that we have to reduce its damage per additional projectile to give other skills a chance. This will give us the opportunity to provide more general power for bow skills.

How bad is that for our single target?
If i understand this correctly, instead of every barrage projectile doing 25%x4 of your damage, now it's 20%x5. Let's say you add 6 projectiles, now you do 20*11=220 instead of 25*10=250, so a 13% overall dmg nerf.

it'll still be one of the best skills to scale for singletarget, nothing else will come close anyway for wand/bow users

Are 7% Hp jewels with damage stats more desirable than Abyss Jewels with 40ish hp and damage stats?


Looking for ways to upgrade. Currently at 4600 hp. Without blood rage I sit around 33k damage in base, I am just over 40k with bloodrage running.

What should I be focusing on primarily currently? I'm mostly looking for gear on Poe.trade. I have exalts to spend but not sure where to start. I have a juggle stats some in my rings/amulet. I need at least one of them to have the 350ish Accuracy, while also giving me at least 10+ Int and some STR increase duration.

Should I worry more about accuracy in my rings? Or Amulet? Where would the best distribution of stats be slot wise?






I'm terrified to drop my life flask. I use it CONSTANTLY.

a small suggestion would be to get the right enchantment on the boots. You are scaling lightning damage, not fire damage with this build.

Change the thunderfist for tombfist with 2 abyssal sockets. Use a searching and a murderous jewel to get the intimidate + maim bonus. Maybe change to a stygian vise belt to gain an additional jewel socket.

Change the enchant on amulett from cold to lightning damage (same reason as for the boots).

Besides from that, the same applies for your build as for mine and others. Better gear with flat rolls on lightning and attack speed with high life rolls is the way to go (an expensive way, but we knew that beforehand, did we not :) ?)

Edit: I took a look at your tree... man. Your jewels suck. You basically need to change all of them for abyss jewels with flat lightning dmg and life!

Depends on your playstyle. If you just chain indoor maps like Toxic Sewer or Underground Sea, you love the Quicksilver Flask. Why having just 150 % Movement Speed if you can have 250%?
I really like Min/Maxing in PoB, but sometimes just raw Numbers are missleading for Clearspeed. If your goal is Speedclearing, Movementspeed is everything. That was my reason to drop a lot of "raw" Damage to get ~+70-80% Movementspeed.

And i would like to recommend the "overlooked" stats on Abyss Jewels like Phasing or Onslaught on Kill. (If not getting per CoH) They are great Utility Stats.
