I used Barrage-Slower Projectiles-Added Lightning Damage-Elemental Focus- Elemental Damage with Weapons
Thanks for this build Toma, I'm level 90 and having fun so far. Used it as my league starter and it has generally been fairly smooth although like a lot of people I am having trouble scaling barrage enough for 3.0 map boss health.

Another problem I'm having with barrage is with bosses that have adds. Because barrage has no pierce sometimes it ends up hitting the adds instead of the primary target. I am thinking there may be two solutions:

"
1. The new harbinger helmet would scale KB damage significantly and can maybe offer another avenue to destroy tanky adds.

2. Get the pierce nodes on the tree and drop pierce gem from KB setup. I feel like piercing 2 targets ought to be sufficient for KB's clearspeed, but I'm not sure the situational benefits outweigh losing the passive points.


I'm also not using bloodrage, since it doesn't feel very good on certain maps and it can sometimes be unavailable on bosses which is when you really need it. On the plus side, since getting rid of this I don't feel the need the need to run a life flask anymore, so I swapped in an extra damage flask instead.

Re uber for those having difficulty:
Spoiler
I had no trouble with clearing uber lab with this build. Cleared on my first attempt at less than 3.5k life, without a queen of the forest or any damage flasks. While it's a little hard to explain without a video my strategy was essentially as follows:

"
1. Three Life flasks, a quicksilver flask of adrenaline and a mana flask. The mana flask wasn't necessary but my damage was poor at the time so I felt a bit naked/risky without it. Because of the pathfinder accendancies I had more than enough flasks charged whenever I needed them.

2. Because this is an evasion build with low life you need to avoid getting hit even once by anything bursty. Basically the strategy is to stutterstep. Fire one barrage, then reposition, fire one barrage reposition. If you practice the fight and have correct timing you can basically choose which direction the boss fires his green ball attack. His charge has a slow build up, so very easy to avoid. You shouldn't get hit by melee at all because you won't ever be that close to him because this is a range build.

3. If he makes adds do the same process as (2) but use kinetic blast instead of barrage until they are dead. This will refill flasks, but more importantly clear out some clutter so you can continue to stuttestep.

4. Sometimes you will run into traps a little bit while dodging, but you have 3 life flasks so don't be afraid to hit one for even a tiny bit of damage, but don't spam.

5. Stay focussed. One mistake can get you killed. My damage was nothing at the time so each phase took a few minutes.


My standard gear:


My situational gear swaps:


I'm guessing my ideal upgrade progression would be something like the following:

"
1. Barrage enchant

2. New wand

3. New gloves

4. New belt

5. Get effective crit chance from 40% to 50% in order to optimise being 'lucky'

6. Level 4 empower and enlighten gems, at which point I'll probably start using the +1 gem boots
What do you think about?



Nvm, if someone is interested how it's working

I dont like new league and its mechanics and I decided to play standard because zana mods returned back and i ve got leg. vinktar ;). I ve spent only this weekend for this build and quite lucky to get items cuz nobody plays std:D All Guardians/Shaper down(not deathless), i ve not try Uber Atziri yet. I got 6k life , 34k KB and 56k Barrage dps in ho(with auras and golem). I only need a good rare ammy for upgrade but its really hard to find for decent prices in std.

Since we do invest in crit, is it also an option to go Master Surgeon instead of Veteran Bowyer?
I have been playing this build for the last few days as my second build of the league and managed to get some gear that I feel is pretty good (except for a 6 link because wow are they expensive right now).

Just wondering what my goals should be for scaling DPS from here especially for bosses while using barrage, I know I still have gem and character levels to get (mostly working on filling out jewel slots now).

Any tips to help me take this character far into endgame and what to focus on upgrading in the future would be much appreciated.

Here is the gear I am currently using:



And here is a pastebin for POB, if that's your thing: https://pastebin.com/hJajjkpp

Recently I have been changing around my flasks, running a quicksilver in lower tier maps to speed clear and get some faster exp, and then changing between wise oak and Atziri's flask during regular mapping. Not sure of the optimal flasks currently, though I don't yet have a dying sun.

Actually, I bought this "silken hood" for 14ex to chance/scour into starkonja's(50-60 ex atm). However, i keep it as is because need some res for using HH. The main reason is "life and res" why im not using Rat's Nest.

I think you meant conqueror's potency for +1 proj with dying sun. I use it only on shaper/ guardians fights which i need dps more. Otherwise, my jewels are better than any unique jewel.

I paid 5ex for the shield which was insanely lucky for me :D

Got off to a bit of a slow start in the league but getting there now and I've gotta say I will never be able to play anything with less than 200% move speed ever again (110M exp/h WTF!!!).

Gear pretty similar to what most people are using with piscator and Thuderfist. At first I was a bit worried about the lack of flex slots but after some more in-depth understanding of the mechanics involved I now have a fairly long and expensive list of upgrades on my todo list.

Anyways - just ran my first T13 with a sub optimal 5L and Bisco's collar as amu and it feels almost cheap how easy this build tears through maps. I do agree that the new boss life takes some getting used to but at the same time I do enjoy playing around the mechanics and bosses still die reasonably fast (even faster if you get them into a corner).

Now some questions:

- GMP for Barrage - without dying sun it does feel like it's the way to go but then at the same time it's hard to say how many of the additional projectiles actually hit when you're doing a bit more sniping around the dangerous bosses from a distance.
- Point blank - again when you are in the situation you can facetank it offers more damage than any gem, passive or piece of gear in the game but is it really necessary before guardians and how easy is it to facetank top tier bosses?
- The duelist area - am I right to understand that going all the way over there is strictly better when you get closer to lvl 100 because right now at lvl 83 (up to about lvl 90 when playing around with path of building) I can get a little bit more life and a lot more dps by filling out the nodes around shadow area by just giving up a little bit of evasion (from Bravery - 8% total diff). Happy to post the tree I'm thinking of but I'm leaning toward speccing away from the duelist nodes as I will most likely not push for lvl 100.

Hi, thanks for the build. But it seems that the pastebin for path of building doesn't work anymore
