"Does the bow have 1 suffix or 2? You want to prevent a situation where you exalt slam and instead of expected +1 to socketed gems prefix you get some crappy suffix instead. So if the bow has only 1 suffix, people block with with multimod + cannot roll attack mods. If it already has 2 suffixes, CRAM alone is enough. | |
" Yeah it has +2 bow gems (prefix) and 24% dmg over time multiplier (so 1 prefix only I believe as it says ingame for me?) Someone told me I would need to do what you said, cannot roll attack mods and multi mod it then slam for the guaranteed +1 gems. Then clean the crafted mods and add multi mod back to it. So that would cost 7ex, and I would be able to add attack speed as well as another DoT modifier I believe right? Is all that worth it? Would the bow be worth 11 ex + after all that then, worried since I see the 24% DoT mod is on the lower end. | |

Really not enjoying this build in SSF. Like, the clear speed is pretty good, but bossing feels horrible - even with some Tier 1 -mana mods, the mana situation is awful in bosses...I basically just run out of mana and run around like an idiot waiting for my Mirage Archer to do something. And when you take hits, you don't exactly regen HP quickly. Also, even with Phase Acro on The Perfect Form, build feels mad squishy, but that might just be Delirium.
Any advice? Also, I do have a potentially promising base I found I've been trying to 6L. From what I understand, it may be possible to craft the +1 to socketed gems on it, right? Last edited by Semantic on Mar 20, 2020, 9:47:39 PM

""Worth it" is subjective depending on person's budget and speed of currency farming, but personally I wouldn't sink that much in a bow that is sub-optimal. Optimal is getting damage over time + attack speed 2 suffixes bow and crafting on that (cram, exalt slam, multimod, craft +2 to support gems and chaos dot multi). Why? Because once you start using empower and awakened supports +2 to supports buffs so much more than +2 to bow gems. Getting the proper crafting start point, said 2 correct suffix bow, is the bad part and rng fiesta. "TBh if you want SSF oriented advice I'd ask in this thread: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2712106 I believe the author has extensive SSF experience and is pretty active in the thread.

" Ahh, that all makes sense. I was more so asking if it was worth it in terms of if I invest 7-8 ex into make this a +3 bow with Dot Multi, Cdot Multi(bench craft) and Attack speed (bench craft). Would I be able to atleast sell it for 10ex to re-coup my investment in case I decide to wanna make a better bow or switch builds? (Believe I should looking at poetrade, but didn't see many +2 bow gem mod ones). Yeah no chance I'll be able to get optimal bow or have the currency for that anytime soon, I generally would switch builds or games before ever getting that far. | |

Is there a lot of difference DPS wise between a bow with T1 and T2 Attack Speed and DoT Multi?
I've got a bot with 28% DoT and 16% AS.. but yeah. Both are T2. Is this worth it to suffix lock? | |

Crafted that now and should be my endgame bow, don't plan to get an empower or any awakened gems for it. What links are people using? Since damage on full life doesn't seem that viable and not everyone can afford an expensive empower or are some people just running lower level ones. | |
|
Hey frost21, could you write up a short guide on how you crafted your bow?
| |
" My bad, should be working now! 😊 Mind taking a look? |

I've got a large cluster juwel with 10x 12% chaos damaged nodes.. really wonder if this would be worth using, and what passives i actually could remove to enable those lol
