[3.2] That Doomfletch Life | 3.1 VIDEO GUIDE UP! Tree/PoB | All Content | Reviews
How are you guys farming for the 2 barrage projectiles? Or are you purchasing them? because they're so expensive. Also, if you are farming it, are you using twice enchanted prophecy each time?

Wanted to share my roadrunner mapping setup that I'm currently using in harbinger league. I really love the guide but feel that you just don't need all of the damage that this build has to offer for farming everything up to T16 maps. For guardians/shaper/uber atziri it's definitely best to go for the abyssus/kaom's setup, but when you're trying to farm currency in maps as fast as possible there are a few changes you can make to boost your efficiency and maximize returns.
A few key items that differ in this build compared to the bossing setup:
1. Queen of the forest- the first 6L chest you should buy if you want to maximize efficiency and returns, it will increase your clearspeed in maps drastically as you zip around the map. Once you have yourself a QoTF, it's time to buy a flask of reflexes to boost your movespeed even further. No wiseoak is definitely a hit to damage, but you will still be 1 shotting rares in lower tier maps without it anyway.
2. Bisco's amulet- a really broken item that should not be in the game- for currency farming this is a must have. Rarity of items line doesn't matter that much- divine for high increased quantity of items.
3. +2 tornado shot projectile helm- I recommend rat's nest or starkonja's for the extra move speed and extra evasion rating to further boost your QoTF movespeed. +2 barrage isn't needed because killing bosses takes a fraction of the time it takes to clear the map itself.
Still tinkering with gems to figure out what I like most- not using vaal haste at the moment because I don't feel like I really need it. Grace is great for more evasion rating/ move speed via queen and layering our defense as we're a little squishier than with kaoms.
Nice setup! Feel like MS is a bit undervalued here since its more of a bosskiller thread. Probably doing sonething similar with my next character (not bow).
Just out of curiosity - was surviving an issue in maps/beachhead? What maps were you primarly farming with this and how does evasion hold up against harbingers compared to life?
And is +2 barrage that much of a non-factor? With 6l barrage and good gear probably not. But if barrage is only 5linked (around 30-45%less dmg), bisco's (25%), rings aren't good, some flasks missing...those things can add up rather quickly and lead to rather annoying boss encounters. That said..even skipping bosses with biscos is so much better than oneshotting without...
But overall..I'm quite happy with the "small variant" of this with devotos+biscos. Was forced into devotos first..but now don't really feel like paying 25+ ex for an uprade in two encounters with 2mill+ shaper dps already [with 5l abyssus is kind of a big deal though]. Nice to see that a pure speedfarming approach is working as well.
First things first, the build looks awesome. I'm fairly new and was following the Doomfletch ElementalistScion build. But after looking here, it seems to be insane how much more damage this one seems to do. My main issue is I REALLY do not want to run TWO bows, granted I JUST got my first 6 link doomfletch prism on Harbinger. Is there any simple alternative? I was comparing the PoB build and gear to my character but I'm not as experienced as I'd like to be. Would you just recommend running Tornado shot if I wanted the well rounded skill?
Thanks in advance.
The Tempest's Binding with Lightning Arrow, or Tornado Shot, functions like a pseudo-6L, and it's what I use for mapping and farming. The price has tanked on them, so you can pick one up for 50-70c unenchanted. You'll deal less total DPS than with Abyssus, but you won't need a weapon swap. You also won't be saddled with the massive physical damage increase.
Scion can work with this build if leveling a new character is something you don't want to do. Pathfinder is more of a min/max and a reliable way to sustain your unique flasks. I was running a Raider for a long time before switching in the 80s, and Neversink runs a similar Doomfletch build as a Scion. Personally, I feel Pathfinder is the best for endgame with this build.
I've advocated in this thread to keep Abyssus for boss killing only, as it is brutally difficult to stay alive versus physical with it. I had trouble surviving with pretty much any setup wearing it, and I think only a Lightning Coil combined with Pathfinder bonuses, Taste of Hate, and Vinktar's (mitigation) could offset the tremendous physical damage intake. I don't wear it outside of Shaper/possibly Uber Atziri.

For the Ascend what do you go into exactly in order? I believe I don't see a 1/2/3/4 where you pick which ones to go in order. Or does it not matter?
I would go for Master Alchemist first to have a reliable immunity to status effects. After that, you can go for Veteran Bowyer or Natura's Adrenaline at your leisure.

Hi guys. Now i'm have around 1500c for new char, it's enoguh for soomth mapping/bossfarming on this build? Basically i can buy all needed uniques and flasks, exept 2 barrage/tornado targets abyssus.
And I have about 200-250C for jewels/rings/neck/gloves/belt. It's enough for this? Or this build really need 2target barrage/tornnado shot enchantment and very good rares? Sry for my bad eng.
So right now I'm level 53 & got 2 prisms (Both 5l, working on getting it 6l just trying to get more fusings) and my drillnecks don't have +1 arrows... I'm killing bosses/mobs really easily still though and I was just wondering if these items were good for high tier mapping until I can get the currency for Kaoms/etc (Just picked up a wise oak for 2.5c so not bad)

I picked these up along the way and was hoping they'd last me awhile.
Also do you guys recommending picking up a Bisco's Collar Gold Amulet for 80c (Currently have around 85c left) to get more currency?
This build require lots of planing, lots of exalted orbs to finish, you won't be going anywhere without +arrows. I've pretty much capped and balanced my oaks

1500 is no way near :P maybe 15000 chaos... you need to min/max out pretty much everything. My current without enchant on boots its about 2 mil dps. No way near his stuff. Don't try this unless you loaded with exalts orbs... maybe 2000+ exalts

I do about 1.53m~ Barrage DPS with my Shaper setup and I killed him just fine doing mechanics. OP's showcase gear is mirror stuff, and it's completely unnecessary for beating all of the content. It just shows how much damage you can stack on this build and completely bulldoze endgame bosses.
The +2 projectile enchants are pretty luxurious. The +2 Barrage is easily 30 Ex on an Abyssus, though the +2 Tornado Shot is much cheaper. Personally, my map clear with The Tempest's Binding and Lightning Arrow is fine, and I only use Abyssus for boss killing/The Shaper. It makes you too squishy for general wear in my experience.
Currently, I have +30% Projectile Weakness on Abyssus (better than anything else for me, even ahead of +1 Barrage) and +12% Lightning Arrow AoE on The Tempest's Binding. With GMP and Dying Sun, this obliterates most packs for me.

All is really so bad? I'm playinng on league, so, 15000c for me is seems too hard xD
1500c it's really not enough for farming racecourse/bog/abyss maps? or just for killing shaper?
i'm don't think so.
edit; i'm doesen't need 2 seconds shaper kills or somethin like this.

What maps are you farming? I'm just think i can easelly farm my racecourses, and i'm doesenn't need any 15000c gear for this. And how fast are you farminng maps? i can just go some windripper build for mapping, if this build really need more than i'm have now.
