[3.2] Deadeye Windripper solo MF

I have been traveling this weekend and been unable to update. The biggest change is the nerf to flask effect at the witch cluster so we need to use the flask effect jewel to Get 50% flask effect and an extra projectile from dying sun. Btw scion is gonna be very good as well now with elementalist/raider, especially if you dont have legacy vinktar. Will update when i Get home.

Is raider now better than pathfinder for end-game leveling and mf? Crit chance and damage have both been nerfed. Also there are many changes to added cold, innervate, pierce, WED and chain. Any better gem setup emerging for this build?

That's me! I'm back from a long break and was hoping to play scion windripper again, so looking forward to an update there :)

New Gem Setup which I use.

1.Tornado Shot 2.GMP 3.WED 4.Ice Bit 5.Added Lightning Damage 6.Aded Cold Damage/Quantity

Why Ice Bite? It still does not provide as much as dps as Added Lightning even after the 3.0 buff.

I haven't been able to make the ranger build yet. But i have made the scion one which i suspect will be superior this patch. Will do the ranger one when i have time to gather all the skill points.

Here is the pastebin for POB: https://pastebin.com/rcWLr4sw

i cant seem to be able to share the tree from the website anymore. anyone knows how?

gem links are: TS, GMP, WED, ice bite, iiq, added lightning. ice bite is less damage than added cold yes, but can be used to generate frenzy charges. This is nice for people without legacy vinktar that can now get frenzy charges without using blood rage and get a degen that was only countered with legacy vinktar. Increased critical strikes is probably a better gem than added lightning if u got non legacy windripper and low crit. Use both instead of item rarity gem if you are in league imo, better to clear fast than to get 70 rarity.

its possible to use both kaom and greeds. its probably also best at lower gear levels to use barrage for single target. if you are going to use kaom, the new helm in harbinger: the tempests binding is a very good item for this build for a second 6link for barrage, its hard to enchant it yourself though.

on my scion test i got 117k gmp dps with iiq gem with decent movement speed and no need to rely on vinktar for leech. thats with 163/327 mf without ripper bonus. New elementalist node with elemental conflux for 6 sec also helps alot to get the freeze and shock bonus when mapping.

its also right next to point blank which i would pick up if i was going to include barrage.

quick t15 test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_rGHCFsHAQ&feature=youtu.be (is the boss hp really increased or are the old maps not updated?)

I will update the ranger version next and compare what version is best.

For the ranger version, would you go raider or pathfinder?

Pathfinder. Especially now that you can get frenzy charges with ice bite. Make sure to use the flask effect unique jewel.

Ice bite still doesn't provide as much dps as gems like lightning damage or slower projectile. Also blood rage already generates frenzy charges for free and have a lot of attack speed. The degen is almost zero after regen nodes on the tree. I don't see why switching to ice bite is a good choice so far.
