Loving the build, it clears super fast! I have a 9ex budget at the moment, what's the best investment I can make in terms of survivability/damage if I'm aiming to kill Shaper? I know I'm supposed to dodge projectiles and evasion is RNG, but anyways, I want to be as less squishy as possible. Thanks a lot for the guide!

Your barrage links are not optimal. Replace your your amethyst ring with one with as much life as possible. Make sure your jewels all have life if youre aiming for more survive or DPS if you just want to grind shaper without worry of exp loss. The best builds will basically get as many feasible jewel sockets as possible. You have lot left.


Gear wise:
0. quality your flasks and get a abyssal belt with at least 16% reduced charges used.
1. Some of your rares look like you got them for 1c each with very little thought behind them. replace amethyst ring or at least replace its craft with life. Replace ruby ring, you should be able to find a better one for 1c. Replace quiver, you should be able to find one better for a few c. MC lightning dmg and not phys on amulet. Nearly all your rare slots can be min maxed for more life or resists at little cost.
2. Get some more levels to fill in jewel sockets and by good life/dps abyssal jewels.
3. get barrage helm (not sure how expensive it is now)

You have a tremendous amount of power you can still squeeze out of the build.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me!

Nephalim, can u check mine?

This buiild is so good, i got a 12ex budget and would like to know where I can spend that dough the best? Thank for the guide man :Ddd Kappa

Sorry in advance if I missed this somewhere and I'm asking a duplicate question, but how come you don't use the Lioneye's Fall gem in the passive tree to convert the claw nodes to bow?

The net stat gain of using that gem is actually incredibly bad. It's a noob trap in most cases. You can use PoB to confirm your specific case.

Update your flasks to look like mine, they are a total mess right without even a diamond flask, atziri's can replace dying sun for now. Grind to level 90 or higher if you can, you have all the tools you need to do it.

Your gear looks good with some obvious thought behind them. Places to upgrade will be boots with 30 movespeed and a abyssal belt with at least 16% reduced flask charges gained.

I'd love to help but those double life flasks as if it was 1996 just don't sit well.

Okay, thanks; i'll replace the flasks and the boots for now, and grind some more, thanks :)

Blood drinker provides global leech and is enough to reach the life leech cap.

I have considered not taking the knockback cluster at times but it gives so much crit to pass up.
