[3.7 updated] Voidfletcher Deadeye (all core content cleared, budget options available, 600+ depth)

Really? Sounds worth giving a shot, then. Can't hope to afford much til mapping, but my Tab should get me going along with some rares, I hope. Maybe a Karui Ward until I find a decent ammy, too.

I feel like my damage is lacking and I don't have that much health (4.3k) Should I reroll into a different build or should I try to upgrade some of my items? I have about 5ex. https://pastebin.com/E03eFRTw

Why do we go for Vaal Pact, exactly? I'm not seeing much leech on the tree nor in the item recommendations, so maybe I'm just blind or dumb on the matter, but it feels a bit wasted, no?

Also, which path should I branch off towards while leveling: Duelist's side or up towards the Shadow's?

diamond flask, quality gems, curse on hit on your shaper ring. and you'll still have spare change after those upgrades

yeah, with hyrri's and no diamond flask you're wasting too much of the build's potential with lackluster crit chance.

As for some other stuff, tshot should have added cold, not mirage archer. It's a waste to have mirage archer on two setups as you can only have one active at a time. With it just on ice shot you can be using a fully 6l'd tshot yourself while your ice shot mirage fires as well, if mirage is on tshot you're just firing a 5l'd tshot yourself while your mirage also fires. And having tshot on mirage archer means ice shot *isn't* being auto-fired which means bonechill isn't being kept on enemies, costing you some potential inc damage taken for all your skill. Besides, mirage archer does a crappy job of aiming tshot, especially with knockback involved. Alternatively you could replace it with power charge on crit too, those power charges would help make up for your lower crit from using hyrri's.

Also, that shaper ring of yours should have flat cold crafted, not %. You want global sources of flat cold, as voidshot is particularly reliant on those for scaling. It's not gonna be a huge gain, but it's something.

there's 1.6% attack leech in total, don't forget about the 1.2% in the claw wheel.

Take whichever path you want, they both work out fine. I usually head up to the shadow first though.

I only see the leech located in the Claw wheel, which would be nice if I could afford the gem for those melee bits... Maybe I'm blind after all?

Windripper and queen of the forest viable ??

Wanted to drop by and ask for some help while also thanking you for the build, been having a blast!

I'm pretty much a brand new player. Started out this league with arc totems, got a lucky farruls fur drop and decided to try out this build with farruls fur/bite.

Here's my current items:



For the other jewels I'm going with watcher's eye (phys conversion to cold), lioneye, omen on the winds, 1 flat cold/life abyss and 1 viridian jewel with life and res (been having issues with capping my resistances.)

I feel pretty squishy with barely capped resistances (~80 fire and lightning) and 4.5k HP. Having trouble with Uber Elder and delve bosses, as well as deep delves. (T16 Mapping is a dream though.) I've sacrificed going for the Bravery life node in order to get the extra frenzy charges. Maybe there's something else I could sacrifice in order to get some more life?

Speaking of frenzy charges, I'm currently sitting at 7 frenzy charges, 3 from the skill tree and 1 from the gloves. Would it be benificial to swap out something for ice bite support for TShot? If so, what would that be?

Oh, and are we capped on life leech? Got the 0.2% leech of cold from the ring, but it might just be excessive I guess.

Sorry for all the questions, don't expect you to answer all of them - but any help is much appreciated! Also, any tips for gear upgrades is most welcome, as I feel at loss about what going for next (except helmet enchant). :)

well, at 7 charges ice bite is slightly stronger than added cold, so if you've got that much you should probably make the switch. Alternatively ice bite should be a larger dps boost than faster attacks, but faster attacks is also in there to keep things smooth and quick so you're not stuck in place as long attacking, we can't afford to get locked in place on a build this squishy. So i'd probably just swap out added cold for ice bite for a small edge.

As for the life thing, 4.5k sound about what i had when i was using farrul's iirc. It's squishy, yeah, and if you wanted to there's a little more life you can grab instead of something or another. Bravery would be nice, and there's also the life and armor/ev minor nodes in the duelist starting path... that's just about all we're close enough to though. The build is heavily about manual dodging for bosses, you just gotta keep moving (circling them, usually) and knowing their telegraphs. I'm at 5.3k right now on my setup and it's no different aside from being able to *sometimes* survive a shaper ball or something, so i don't think going for more life is gonna be that big a help tbh.

Oh, and yeah, we've got 1.6% life leech, we don't really need any more than that with this kinda dps and hit frequency, so the cold leech on the ring isn't necessary by any means.

QotF and Loreweave are both fine, though both will have less life than other options (and loreweave will be a pain in the ass to color). Note that this build doesn't get a ton of evasion, usually around 10k with tailwind up, and QotF would probably only add around 2k~ish, so unless you're gonna run Grace and load up on other evasion i doubt it's worthwhile, you'd just be sacrificing life and offense for a small amount of extra movespeed.

As for Windripper... well, thematically it kinda defeats the purpose of building around extra arrows to not use a bow with +2 arrows, but with the buffs voidfletcher got I do think most ele bows could make good use of VF with just dying sun alone, even without extra arrows from deadeye or a quiver corruption or Opus, so WR should work out alright for this build, especially provided a +1 quiver and deadeye's +1.

Note though that right now voidfletcher is bugged and doesn't actually have a cooldown like it's supposed to (it has a .5s charge recovery time, but it's supposed to have a .25s cooldown on the trigger too), and if that gets fixed WR would likely fire too fast to proc voidshot on every attack... right now my death's opus setup fires just fast enough that I would trigger it every attack with pretty good efficiency. Just a mild efficiency thing though, dropping faster attacks from the setup in favor of something else (pierce for ice shot and pcoc for tshot, i think) very well might drop windripper's speed enough.

bro the voidfletcher +1 arrow is so hard to find bought 1300 chaos of voidletcher ( like 80 - 90 ) raised the price of it and not single + 1 arrow lol
