Guys how do u manage hp? I have life like on everything and still cant reach 3K hp even. Damage is good but feels so squishy. Perhaps its just that i am 74 lvl.

Characters are private, can't check where's your missing life.

It should be alright now. Switched off the hiding on the characters.

I'm trying out this build at lvl 79 and trying to get a decent 6L bow, so me and a buddy were playing around with the porcupine bow + essence craft for +2 bows and came up with this thing

This seems like a good base for possibly multimodding, but I don't know much about crafting so I thought I'd post here before we use up the 2ex! Any suggestions? Is this thing usable?

Guys, could someboby check my gear and char and say me what to do next? I'm aiming for a better Watcher's Eye like there is in a build, with Clatiry and Malevolence bonus both first of all. And one more question, what are u doing with ignite? This build has no leech, so sometimes I take realy hard damage from ignire, like Enslavers for example.

I just want to give out a shout out to Viktranka. The MVP of this thread this league since OP is playing a different build this league. Thanks for looking over all of opur gear and helping us with suggestions

First of all, you're missing life from tree.

You picked 3 jewel sockets and none of these jewels have life on it. You spent 7 points on that. You also went all the way to potency of will (meanwhile skipping a 1-pointer jewel socket next to melding?).

You could have picked instead life cluster at blood drinker, melding wheel or even heart and soul. That's one reason why your life is low.

Now gear. 1 ring has awful life craft, basically half of the other ring, why? It's a lvl 30 ring to boot, just buy a new one.

All the jewels could have life and the one in belt could have at least 30. Especially that blue jewel is awful, don't buy stuff that say "damage with bows / two handed weapons", these only apply to initial hit not to the dot from what I know. "Damage while wielding a bow / with bow skills" should be fine.

Gloves should also be replaced, no life, only 1 resistance low roll, no chaos multi, basically only useful thing is the attack speed, you can easily buy something with life / resists for super cheap.

On a side note, your flasks are a mess, 2 flasks for burning? You need at last freeze (heat) and possible curses (warding), go to Einhar and craft some.

Also do I see it right you're not capped on fire and cold resist? You need to fix this asap, several of your items have resists as if you were lvl 40 not 74. Unless you picked Alira, but why would you even do that on a non crit build while using a mana flask (so you don't rely on that mana regen either).

You're missing 3rd lab too and that's a decent bump to defensives of the class.

Also the gem setup is off, why do you have blight socketed together with toxic rain? And faster projectiles? You're playing on a 3,5 link while you have 5-link to your disposal. You should use vicious projectiles 100%, and then swift affliction or efficacy.

Also don't use ice golem. This is not a crit build and it doesn't need accuracy either. Use lightning golem if any. Attack speed is nice.

Btw buy lvl 20 toxic rain, that will bump your damage.

TLDR: unspec the jewel nodes for now, pick life. Replace all the lvl 40 items with low resists / life. Fix links in your toxic rain setup.

EDIT: Also noticed you have no jade flask while using Queen of the Forest. This probably means that instead of speeding you up the item slows you down. You should fit jade flask into your setup or use different chest.

Would probably invest in a hunter influenced amulet with chaos multi or + to gems.

Best options are:
thicket / grove - 1.5 speed
imperial - 1.45 speed
maraketh - 1.4 speed

Yes, imperial implicit is useless but it's still second best speed and the easiest bow to obtain at high level due to imperial legacy cards, so it's a very popular crafting base due to that.

Maraketh gives movement speed implicit so could be worth losing a bit of damage / attack speed if you value movement speed.

Below that I wouldn't consider slower bows as your end game craft, only as an intermediate item while you're still gathering currency. Slower base can be cheaper on mid range items due to being sub-optimal.

P.S. Yes, you can get thicket 6l from porcupine cards but it's only lvl 50 so you won't be able to roll best ranks of mods on it.

This is helpful! I managed to buy a Maraketh bow for ~7ex, I'm not sure how big the DPS loss is vs. a Thicket bow, but the +10% movespeed is pretty impactful. I don't even use quicksilver flask anymore.

Thanks! I try to help with what I can, I think toxic rain is a very fun skill but gets much less coverage than for example Essence Drain that has at least 5-6 guides rolling.

I've really been enjoying it and leveling was super smooth.

Lol why do I feel personally attacked by this point... I should really consider recolouring my Queen of the Forest:



On a side note, realized I never use Blink Arrow other than to pass the few gaps Dash wont cross over. Any suggestion what might be a good 4th link for:

CWDT - Lightning Golem - Steel Skin - ?

I'm thinking increased duration is a safe bet, just not sure if its going to be that impactful to warrant a gem slot.

so I was able to make hella progress in one week due to somehow getting 8 exalt drops among other valuables. Basically have everything that the guide suggests except for a GG bow. My only problem is randomly getting one shot. Would more life on everything really make much of a difference or is it just something I gotta deal with especially for this league =_=
