Hi
I'm very interested with the build since all of my zombies are death when encounter Redeemer. I have found this thing from Delve league, this is 3 fossil crafting that can allow crafting +3 bow (minimum ilvl is 64) at very soon https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/9cwheo/guide_how_to_fossil_craft_3_bows/
Its not good as the +3 bow with 1 socketed and the crafting +2 support gems but it is a good items until they can touch into the end-game bows

I tried this last league, never did work for me. I'd constantly get +1 bow gems instead of +2, or only a single prefix. Got sick of trying after ~15 attempts and crafted using alt-regal-scour spam instead.

What bow's ILvl is required to craft that OP bow ?

Simple short bow ILvl(50) from the Porcupine div cards isn't enought ?

So I've been following the original post, and I can do T16 pretty decently. I'm interested, however, in the author's current tree & gear setup. It's very different than the guide, and I was wondering if anyone else had tried it?

If you switched, any noticeable improvements? Thanks

My situation is finally starting to improve. Managed to self-6L this bow so I could stop using the tabula. And corrupted a level 21 toxic rain. Still need to get more essences so I can try to roll better mods on the bow.

The real uphill battle is ahead of me though. Trying to farm a Vertex in SSF.

Any recommendations quiver wise? I can't afford a Maloney as it goes for 10ex now, so it would be great if I could get some advice for a 1-3ex cost in between until I can farm the Maloney up reliably.

I wouldn't bother with Maloney, just manually cast despair or buy a witchfire brew. I used witchfire for a while, but I miss the speed from having a stibnite flask with +100% evasion and I just manual cast now.

For a quiver the new hunter mod on quivers is simply too strong, if you get lucky it blows Maloney's out of the water. The t1 mod is 21-25% chaos damage over time multi, and you can roll the basic damage over time multi with it as well (getting over 30% dot multi from your quiver.) Just look for any amount of life + the chaos dot multi if you can afford it, they are something like 1-3ex last I checked. It's quite a sizeable chunk of damage and manual casting despair is very fast and you only need it for bosses.

I am in the process of trying to upgrade my bow. I currently have a +2 bow with IAS and DOT Multi.

I imagine a +3 bow would beat having IAS/DOT Multi, but what should be prioritized after +3? I assume DOT Multi beats IAS? So to summarize prioritize the following order?

1. +Levels
2. Chaos DOT Multi
3. Generic DOT Multi
4. Attack Speed

Is this all correct?

No, you need item level 82 to get the T1 DoT multiplier.

Yes. There's no difference between 2&3 though - and attack speed while a rare / unique is nearby is just as desirable.

I'm running a very similar setup, gear wise. The bones of our skill trees are still the same as well, but there's some noticeable differences there.

Really though, this setup isn't that much of a departure from the posted guide. Perfect Form vs Queen of the Forest - just trading move speed for defense in the form of phase acro / arctic armour. it's a little slower, and a little safer. He's dropped Damage on Full Life, which is no shock, really, as there are a lot of sources of chaos damage degen this league, especially at high map levels.

IMHO, this setup is better for grinding high level maps. I don't want to run through them that fast anyway, as most rares don't instantly pop anymore, so the extra speed from QOTF wasn't really helping much. Getting phase acro for free means I can use those 5 skill points elsewhere.

I figured chaos multi is better than generic since it seems to be able to roll higher, but I understand what you're saying. Thanks!
