Can you please take a look at my character? I'm struggling to level past 89 since I keep dying in t12+ maps. I've spent quite a lot of currency but I still seem to be lacking some dps/survivability. Clearly missing something important. Maybe just more life/resists? Super enjoyable map clearing in below t12 maps though. Should I just focus on leveling? What gear needs changing?

Your gear is quite good. Issue is all your jewels have no life on them. You'll also want one jewel with blind on hit. You should have 6200-7000 life with a belly setup. Even so, you should be obliterating T12 maps with how much dps you have.

What exactly is killing you in t12 maps? Are you trying to face tank abyssal chasms? With instant leech gone you really do need to actively manage your flask and move when needed since nothing will give you enough sustain to sit in front of several mobs.

This late in the league I'm not sure how expensive theyd be but you want something like this.


Sounds good I'll look for jewel upgrades. Yeah I mostly die to buffed bosses or abyssal monsters. Those spinners just one shot me from invisibility. Also die to elemental weakness maps sometimes too. Think I need to overcap my resists a bit. DPS is not really that much of a problem most the time, but another 6L will probably help. 1k fusings in so far...Think I should swap my boots for more resist and get tombfist?
Warding flasks will negate all curses including ele weakness. Are you properly managing your flasks? They should be effectively up 100%. Having a belt with 16%+ reduced flask charges makes world of difference and I strongly encourage every player to use one.

For bosses just blink in and barrage them to death. I can't really see a T12 boss being able to survive long enough to hit you more than once.

And yes, you should be using tombfist, not bubonic.

Kinectic blast videos (using basically the same gear) in progress.

Ok so after spending quite a lot of currency on this character, I have to say, I'm very happy with the outcome. By far my favorite bow build, did Shaper super comfortably, it's amazing. I'm at 6.1k life and 2 mill shaper dps. Unless the build somehow gets destroyed next league, I'm definitely doing it again. Thanks a lot for the effort you've put into making the guide and helping everyone out, OP.
thanks for the great guide mate. even a newb player like me can get somewhere with this build couldn't kill shaper yet stuck at guardians. still i am improving my character as i get some currency just bought 6L chin sol and i got 5-6 ex left should i go for dying sun or 6L belly first ? or can you gimme some advice what to spend my money on. my profile is public it would be awesome if you could check it out and tell me what to upgrade. thanks again for the guide mate.
Nice BD.It feels good, but if I wanna more damage, is there any bow to replace?



Upraded some equipment and jewels, now reaching 5,2m effective shaper DPS (8,47m on normal target).
I'm still looking for some better boots (120 total ele resist + 80 life + 25> IMS) and would love to replace the diamond ring/lapis amulet with better ones. Also trying to get the +1 Barrage on a 2 abyss socket lightpoacher. All of this should then bring me up to around 6m DPS.

Dying sun then upgrade your rare slots in this order:
Get warding on one of your flasks - i cant stress how much of a gain this is on cursed maps, Gloves (attack speed), Diamond ring( more life), Boots ( tri res + movespeed), two stone right ( more life),

Finally, upgrade belly to 6 link if you really want a 6th link for LA - its not mandatory.

Nothing will output more damage at close range than chin sol for this build.

Well you can get a rare shaper quiver with 2 additional arrows but the cost would be astronomical.

I haven't tried rigwald's due to its cost but it may be decent for trash clear. It is a loss of 256 life and a loss of 5.6% dps in return for fork.

Leech question here - I note that a few pages back someone took extra life leech nodes near VP, but this was mentioned to be useless as Blood Drinker alone is enough to cap life leech. How does this work despite the nodes near VP stating they add to maximum leech? Is there an idiot's guide to life leech I can read up on?

Really enjoying this build though :D
