Aaaaand one more question
Whats about Awakened Added Chaos Damage?
It provides a boost to our gem level, looks awesome. Can I fit it into my setup instead of Mirage Archer for example?

Hey, I really love your build.
Have tried it this league and its awesome and super-tanky (not facetanking but it provides a huge boost to make some mistakes during fight, or miss some dangerous skills)
dps is also very very good, and the main part - effectiveness of dps is also high - you can runout some dangerous things and still do damage, thats great option.

Now I'm on 3.6k hp\2.7k es in HO, and really looking for grabbing more es, cause i really rarely get hit, and during decent map I barely see my HP is going down, only ES.

Have a question about some balancing things:
-Using a Maloneys, but what if I change to COH ring and then swap maloney to chaos dmg quiver? Where I can gain frenzy charges then?
-Its quite impossible to find\make vertex with +1 pods, or I should run 100x labs per day, thats bad. Can't find alternative like rare helm, cause +1 to enlighten is crucial. Otherwise I'll face real mana issues.
-Trying to craft amulet with +gems, already have a base with chaos damage suffix and 2 resistances, I can lock them and scour shitty prefixes and try to hunter-exalt spam it till get +gem? Looks pretty expensive, modlock is 2ex, hunter orb is 2.5. Even if I'm reaaaally lucky its 5ex per try, and I'm not lucky at all. So it could be 20-40ex till I slam +gem. Thoughts?

PS dunno how to attach items to post, but I hope I crafted a decent bow.
+1 level to gems
+35% dot multi
13 attack speed
crafted mod
+2 support
+40 chaos multi

You could just run frenzy by itself for the charges, but realistically, just drop it. We really don't need the extra damage, it's just a nice to have bonus.

+1 helm is another nice to have. There are a bunch of affixes that are useful though - reduced mana reservation for any of our auras, for instance.

Crafting that amulet looks like a massive pain in the rump. Unless you're playing SSF, just buy one off the market. Decent amulets can be found for under 5ex, which is the cost of a single gamble with your existing base.

Nice bow. T1 Attack speed would be nice, but T2 is plenty for all content. Also... attach to post: Click on your character portrait at the top left of the page, select the character you want to link from, click the item you want to link, click the X in the top right. Code to link to the item will be inserted automagically.

Awakened Added Chaos damage is a negative. The extra gem level doesn't outweigh an Awakened Void Manipulation in a +support gems bow.

Hi guys,

could you please link me to a guide on how to craft a bow for this build?Is there something on Youtube?

Which bow are you wanting - there are several options at different price points. They are detailed at the bottom of the first post, in the section titled, "Bow Crafting".

I'm doing this build in SSF and I have some mana issues in longer boss fights, I have one -8 mana cost ring. I don't have access to watcher's eye or an elreon craft (would take ages to farm those two). I have vaal clarity but it isn't up every time I need it. Any ideas how mana sustain can be sustained in SSF?

Hello,

Im hitting a wall on tanking. Damage is good and with the clear speed Im nearly always flaskup. All deaths are from full life/ES to resurection.

Did I miss anything?

I have a budget of 10ex about. I've checked the guides but apparently are outdated :(

Carry a mana flask, make sure you charge it before the boss fight. Swapping flasks is a PITA, but SSF requires some extra pain.

You can farm Alva's temple missions to get -mana cost rings as well. Maxes out at -8 instead of the -9 elreon craft, but still better than nothing.

Carcass Jack is a nice damage bonus, but it's defense stats aren't fantastic. Massive evasion chest and big number energy shield helm work extremely well with Escape Artist.

What are your life / ES numbers sitting at?

Also... life flask? If you're getting popped 1 shot, life flask isn't going to help. I only carry one for Sirus and some of the Elder guardians.

Lastly... I'm running a Vaal Grace for the extra dodge on tough bosses.

10ex puts you right in the middle. If you don't already have a bow that's as good as the Porcupine Essence Bow, I'd suggest spending the couple exalts to get to that level.

The next level after that is the +3 DoT Multi Bow, which you'll need to save some currency for. It's 10ex at an absolute minimum, unless you get super lucky. I'm into mine for 27ex because I'm super UNLUCKY, and I still did not get all the right rolls.

My method - there are others, but nothing I've seen is much better - is this:
- Buy a level 84+ thicket, short, or grove bow. No influences - no shaper, elder, redeemer, etc.
- Max quality with whetstones, craft on +18 quality.
- Jewelers orbs until you hit 6 sockets.
- Fusings until you hit 6 links.
- Scrub off the craft
- Transmute to magic, then augment. If you get +attack speed or damage over time multiplier - not Chaos damage over time, you specifically the need suffix - then regal, and hope for the other. If you get it, you have two choices. (If you don't get the right affixes, scour, start over.)
1. Annul, and hope you end up with a bow with both suffixes. If not, start over.
2. Lock suffixes with Suffixes cannot be changed and scour. More expensive, much faster.

Once you have a yellow rare bow with only 2 suffixes, increased attack speed and damage over time multiplier, you're set. The rest of the craft is fast, it's just expensive.
- Craft cannot roll attack mods
- Exalt slam. This will give you +1 gems.
- Scrub off the Cannot roll attack mods and craft Can have up to 3 crafted mods.
- Craft +2 support gems.
- Craft Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier.

And you're done!
