I’ve had some issues with trade 820, it’s not like I seem to remember it, just a lot of people selling breach lord runs or trying to sell boss kills, maybe I’m too late in the season? I’m not even sure when it started. Maybe I’m just on at the wrong times or miss seeing the trial posts.

I'ts not "trade 820" it's "global 820", I've fished 3 trials out of it just today, works fine.

When I’m looking for life on new gear, what numbers should I be looking for? 45+?

As much as you can get without overpaying and compromising other stats, I usually specify my budget and let's say minimum amount of resistance I feel satisfied with then see how high life can go within that budget. Helmet, boots, quiver and chest can roll up to 100 I think but getting 80+ should be easy. Other slots can roll around 70 afaik so 50+ should be easy.

I also can’t remember how high uncapped resists should be, I seem to remember 110% is the magic number? I think I’m much higher than this right now.

Dunno, I never bother to compromise so much of overall gear budget for literally 1 map mod. Just use a warding flask on something with a lot of uses (stibnite, sulfur, enduring mana, aquamarine, whatever you can use 3+ times) and swap that flask in for maps with ele weakness, temp chains and similar annoyances.

Should I also be looking to get a vertex and an enlighten gem(if I do can take talent points out of charisma)? Should I also look to get a level 3 empower and replace swift affliction support?

Yeah empower 3 is cheap atm. You can buy vertex once you run out of cheap damage upgrades, it's trending down in price so there's no rush, but it's starting to be fairly cheap.

Hey everyone.

Just finished story with the charcter, spent around 4 to 5 exalted on it and even if i'm lvl 70 without flasks and all gems setup, I don't feel so well on yellow map, is something lacking ? Can someone check up the character for me ? :P

I'd love to know what did you spend that 5ex on.

You have a +2 bow that you can buy the base for 10c as it comes from divination cards and buy an essence for 3c that will put +2 to bow gems which is basically equal to what you have now since you don't have empower. Ok, it has damage over time suffix but I wouldn't pay exalts for that alone if it's not on a +3 bow.

You have lvl 17 toxic rain while you can buy for 30-40c a lvl 21 which you can use from character lvl 72+ for great dps upgrade. For lvl 70 char you can buy a lvl 20 gem for a measly 1c.

Vertex is down to ~50c, queen of the forest with no links is 1c, atziri's step is 2c, you don't have any cluster jewels, unique flasks, watcher's eye... I have the impression you got scammed and overpaid for something awfully.

Also change these flasks to what's suggested in the guide, you don't need the unique ones for now but you need to have staunching / heat and preferably warding on something, and reflexes affix should not be on a life flask that will get cancelled the moment you reach full hp.

Craft some life on that neck if you don't have the -mana mod and anoint it, even with something super cheap like farsight or aspect of the eagle. If you have the currency, anoint corruption (it's not super expensive luckily).

But yeah, missing 3-4 levels on the main gem on a build that scales gem levels will make your dps feel very low. Change that asap.

Well had 2 ex and 300 c and all I have left is 50c so maybe I got scammed idk bow was 2.5 ex. Other pieces of the gear came between 3 to 60 c.

oh didn't realize the importance of gem level for this build, thanks a lot for all of these comments on my build. :D

Wow I feel like such an idiot, you're completely right, I forgot it was global and not trade. Thank you again for all your help today and answering all my questions. I really appreciate your insight. Gonna spend the next few days doing what you said and seeing where I end up. Thank you!

After you isolate Chaos Dot Multi on the bow and block attack mods, is the +1 bow gems guaranteed?

Is there anywhere I can check these crafts before trying it?

Yes, as long as the bow has no influence (they add extra random mods to the chances) and has 2 suffix + cram crafted.

So you need "damage over time multi" (suffix) not "chaos damage over time multi" (prefix), and bow with 1 suffix has 50/50 chance to waste your exalt on a suffix instead of +1 to gems (prefix).

Yea trade is for trading. :) Global is for all the other stuff like lab trials, rotas, boss killing services and w/e else.

Should i go for a corrputed Queen of the Forest with +1 to all max res or 50% increased damage?

Also, would it be worth using two +1 to all max res small cluster jewels?

Thanks i actually didnt notice that >_<

What Pantheons is everyone using? Been using Arakaali + Ralakesh the whole time, but realized I actually have a lot of chaos dmg over time res...

I'm planning on switching to Solaris and hoping its a better fit for surviving one-shots.

That depends do you feel like you need more damage or more defenses.

Up to you, but I have the impression that evasion builds are most vulnerable to big physical hits, so anything that helps reduce physical damage could prove stronger than elemental res. For example:
Dragon Hunter = 5% phys reduction
Enduring Composure = Endurance charge when hit
No Witnesses = grants Elusive which is extra dodge chance
I'd say Sublime Sensation should also be fairly strong for this build as it scales both life and energy shield.
I wouldn't also rule out something like Student of Decay, or anything that gives some "free" chaos res in addition to other useful stats, I've heard some delirium bosses do chaos damage and awakener too, so would be nice to have some spare. I've seen many people pick exposure therapy for that reason - it's both damage buff and source of chaos res against degens.

Tbh a lot of people use Solaris for bosses and Lunaris for mapping in any build that doesn't need Brine King for stunlock protection (and trickster doesn't thanks to ghost shrouds).

Minor pantheons is case by case basis for example upgraded Shakari is great for doing Hunter influenced maps and boss itself. I think Aberrath is a pretty good choice before any upgrades because burning ground breaks energy shield recharge so it's kinda annoying to deal with.

I'm planning on giving this build a go. Not too experienced in bow builds yet. Which pob should I go for?
