Hi, these are my suggestion(Starting from Best value/importance Provided over currency spent)


1. Rings/Belts - Your rings and belts(especially your resistances) really are needing big upgrades. Get high resist ones, look for 130% total resistance with an empty prefix and craft life on them. Aim to reach at least 75% for each resist, Fire, Cold and Lightning. For Chaos Resist, you can aim for 0% for now.


2. Buy a Gang's Momentum's Boot, look for one with high fire resist then high increased Damage against Ignited Enemies. Don't worry about the ignite chance %. Use this meanwhile until you find a nice Boot with Projectile Pierce 2 Target.


3. Buy and use a 21/0 Elemental Hit


4. Get a quiver with Tier 1-2 Attack Speed and Crit Multi, ideally with 1 of the following also

- High Life(70+)
- Elemental Damage with Attack Skills

then craft the other missing one on it. Ideally, find the above on a Penetrating Quiver which will give you +1 to pierce.

Tier 2 Elemental Damage with Attack Skills recipe can be found at the Academy Map if you don't have it.


5. Get a glove with Tier 1-2 Attack Speed and Accuracy, ideally with 1 of the following also

- High Life(60+)
- Some Resists


6. After the above, if you still have currency left, go for corrupted Frostferno with +2 Fire/Projectile/Cold/Lightning/AOE implicit.

Is there any trick corrupting the bow and helmet? I tried by buying decent bases and hitting the right sockets before using the vaal orb but this won't be sustainable if I don't hit it soon.

I would recommend just buying the item straight and use the crafting bench for the colours/sockets like what Andara has mentioned.

I dont know if fusings work, but you can craft socket numbers and colors at the bench.

This works and requires an additional Vaal Orb per Fuse used just like the Sockets/Colours.

Question:
Isn't Penetrating quiver (1 penetration for arrows) transmuted to +1 arrow and then regaled and multimoded to crits/accuracity/health and ASPD is the best quiver for clearspeed? It should give 2 AOE per enemy if one arrow will hit 2 of them + more arrows.

I am goind to change my Skirmish to something expensive, want to try to make multimod base.

Added: it was pretty easy. 4ch base + ~100 alts, ~10 scours/transmuts/regals and ~15 augs. (if item link will die in future, item has: +1 penetration, +34% crit ch., +1 arrow)

Will try 2-3 more and then multimod.

I will put my answer this way

Question: How valuable is "Bow Attacks fire an additional Arrow" to this build?

I will give 2 scenarios.

Scenario 1 - We are using Rain of Splinter

In the past, when we are only able to put down 4 Totems(12 projectiles), Additional Arrows help a lot with our build. Now we are able to put down 8-9 totems which gives 24-27 projectiles, that gives us a pretty good area coverage. Besides this, Totems are almost instant in placement speed compared to the past when it will take while to place them. Thus the value of Additional Arrows are not as impactful in this scenario.

When we multimod a quiver, we will be losing a suffix and also unable to get the higher values on the various affixes, I would think the value from the higher affixes + the additional suffix(which we lose from using Multimod craft) provides more value.

Also, we are not able to get Crit Multi through crafting which is the most important stat on a quiver as it gives the best DPS numbers compared to other DPS affix on it. Thus if our initial quiver craft doesn't give us any Crit Multi, we are missing a lot of damage.


Scenario 2 - We are not using Rain of Splinter

In this case, we will be replacing the Rain of Splinter with a rare Triple Attack Speed Jewel with Increased Bow Damage.

To get the 2 additional arrow which we are missing from not using Rain of Splinters, we will get them through 2 of the below source

- Corrupted Quill Rain with "Bow Attacks fire an additional Arrow" implicit
- Shaper/Warlord Quiver Prefix "Bow Attacks fire an additional Arrow"
- Corrupted Quiver with "Bow Attacks fire an additional Arrow" implicit


By replacing the Rain of Splinter with the rare Jewel, we got an 11.6% increase in DPS in POB when using 1 Curse + 1 Cluster Jewel setup which is bigger DPS than most notables we get on the Passive Tree.


Therefore, how valuable is "Bow Attacks fire an additional Arrow" to our build will depend on our approach base on the above scenarios, and also whether we are able to roll a high Tier Crit Multiplier on the Quiver together with the Additional Arrows affix.


Piercing

As for Piercing, the ideal amount to go for for this build will be 2-3 so they are always helpful if we have less than 2.

Could some take a peek at my character and let me know what I should do as far as upgrades? I'm still leveling gems and have about 16ex to spend.

Hi, these are my suggestion(Starting from Best value/importance Provided over currency spent)

1. Keep a lookout for Double Corrupted Frostferno with 2 of the below implicits

+2 Fire
+2 Projectile
+2 Cold or Lightning or AOE(These gives same DPS)

and get one. The price will go up as league ages. Since you have the currency, best to get it early when it's cheap.


2. Buy and use a 21/0 Elemental Hit, it's just 20c. Upgrade it to 21/23 later on. It's not a big DPS increase for its cost so no need to prioritize it.


3. Consider using a Diamond Flask(Ideally with Acceleration(9-12% ASPD) Affix)


4. If you are willing to use another Flask Slot, use a Silver Flask(Acceleration(9-12% ASPD) Affix will be nice if you don't need other defensive affix)


5. Look for a glove with Tier 1-2 Attack Speed and Accuracy, ideally with 1 of the following also

- High Life(70+)
- Some Resists


6. Change Yoke of Suffering to Marylene's Fallacy(235%+ Crit Multiplier) + Shaman's Dominion Anoint after you done the above if your resist can maintain above 75%.

Also, does projectile speed on quill rain matter?

It's nice to have a high roll one but it isn't game breaking if its not
