[3.9] Physical Conversion Bowyer | Wander [TS/LA/IS + Barrage] [KB + Power Siphon] [All Content]

Your wand could use some love. No IAS / No Crit. Everything scales off of your wand. You need the mod in question (check), some IAS (Nope) and ideally some crit (Nope).

Crit multi goes a long ways too.

And obviously the missing int.

Ice shot or LA is the better option here? I like both so i cant decide

you should edit your thread of hope with nodes allocated, POB cannot do it by itself.

your wand need to have attack speed and crit chance. The majority of damage comes from the crit scaling of the build. You can scour suffixes and multimod crit and attack speed, but that will cost you 5 ex. You can also divine your wand to 1-6 for a 9% dps upgrade.

Bottled faith is another 20% dps upgrade.

You are missing significant amount of flat lightning damage compared to me, between underleveled wrath, added lightning, and int. I am also using awakened gems. You should also buy a 21 lvl power siphon, as it gives additional projectile. Your rings can use min frenzy, and your boots can use have tailwind + enchant.

Interestingly enough, if I take away 500 int, I would still be at 8.2 mil dps, but I would lose 2k ES. Don't estimate all the other sources of flat ele damage, as well as crit / attack speed scaling.

Managed to do my 1st Awakener (A8) on my 1st attempt with the int stacking build that Stealthyy posted, my gear is far from good, missing a couple %attributes, my belt is basically only int and WED, missing 200+ ES on chest, wand missing crit etc. But the boss still melted. Haven't had any trouble anywhere in the game except blight encounters and obviously random 1 shots from metamorphs.

Thanks Stealthyy (and enahkra)

Edit: And anyone respeccing into this build rather than completely rerolling, don't make the same mistake I made. It took me 2 days of playing with 4100 ES before noticing I was still specced into acrobatics lol.

i think the ice shot. Bit slower clear, but you deal a bunch of frost damage.
In t16 better to freeze everything than shock, like metamorph adds near you, one ice shot and nothing moving in secounds.
So i stick with ice shot, less death.

Hehe i make the same mistake with 450 crit multi arc character in this leage, but with elemental overload. I used my char without crit multi for t12.

For The int stacking build, does the helmet need to be Hunter influence to get The increased int?

Yes

Alright guys I'm going to add TTL's guide as a section in my wander thread. I suggest the life-based phys wander as a good starting point for transitioning into either the bowyer or int stacking if you have a larger budget. The phys wander is capable of doing all content (including Sirus 8), but will require more familiarity with the mechanics due to having lower defenses than int stacking and lower damage than the phys bowyer.

I'm going to be busy with IRL stuff these next few days/week so hopefully some veterans of this build can chip in with answering questions. I'll check back occasionally.

what would a CI wander version look like? if you for example played together with a Mana guardian

or would a ci version lose to much in comparison?

main goal being i want to be immune to chaos

and taking advantage of the insane ES mana guardian provides

and that i get maxxed Resists from just the mana guardian

If you want to play CI wander that's fine but you should go int stacking route instead. I will add TTL's int stacking guide into the main thread soon.

yep thanks to you and Okanitu.

re multi-modding the wand to flat lightning\attack speed yesterday and it helped a ton. I kinda discounted it cause PoB showed it as a 8% increase so it didn't seem ultra cost efficient, but as mentioned since everything is kinda scaling off the wand anyway, it made a bunch of other items better. Also picked up a Bottled Faith which again helps a lot. I think I'm at a natural 85% crit chance with flasks up now. At some point I'll either scour suffix or just get a new wand with crit chance built in as I think that'll add another good damage boost. I think I really need more int for ES now. Damage seems fine (I think I'm at 4mil or so in POB now, everything'd be smoother with higher dps but its reasonable). I'm almost at a spot where I feel like I can just sell off my LL Vortex Occultist stuff to pick up another 30 ex to invest here, though Warlord can still give me some issues (mostly with the adds during the purple bubble phase) and having to relearn the Sirius fight without the benefit of being able to drop a dot and just dodge.

Anyway, this is the build I didn't know I was looking for this season. After struggling with a way too squishy ice shot deadeye and then getting super bored by low clear speed of a Vortex champ, this is somewhere inbetween with great damage numbers and good survivability for a really rippy league
