Hey,

Sounds interesting for 3.1.

Do you have any PoB link ?

I'm a bit afraid about def... How much life / evade with 5 chaos gear investment ?

I think I have around 3.9k. The items are just you know, 5 chaos items. You're not going to be very durable.

search for xMercyMainx in PoB, I have this character with gear over there atm.

Also,

How Is boss killing without barrage or TS ? Is this possible to kill boss with iceshot ?

Nah iceshot is not for killing bosses. It's better to try with TS and aim behind them if you want to use an AoE skill for single target.

Killing bosses is going to be rough on 4 link, you're not very likely to do this. This build is orientated for fast clear speed / farming to 90 during start of the league / race.

you didn't even kill phoenix
you were barley scratching him

This is not the build that kills bosses. It can turn into such build later, with more currency.

I will be doing this build today during the race, I will post updates in this thread ;)

Got to maps today with this build in turmoil... not going to lie it was pretty rough but at the end I did it.

Some prices:

Ashrend 1 alch (+2 fusings to link)

Doedre ring for 2 curses - 2 alch

Aphyxia's Wrath - 1 alch

Lioneye - several chaos

In general mapping is as predicted super easy, but doing any kind of bosses on a naked barrage like this is tough.

This is my first race and for a first time it hasn't been too bad so far I think :3

Would you be willing to elaborate more on the skills/links you plan to use on this, for those of us that are not intimately familiar with all the various skills.

Thanks!

I'm curious how well this build would fare without Vaal Pact, as it seemed to depend on it quite a bit in clearing.

I'm curious too, I'll test it myself when the 3.1 drops

first day I would use something like this:

would this build greatly benefit from an aurabot? I know some builds don't scale as well as others, curious if you're tried it
