Hey, do we have any alternative to the totem/wither setup? It feels like the totem is kinda useless since it always gets destroyed immediately.

Level up the gem and all the other ones in your gloves. Of course they're dying instantly.

Hello! What do you think about Divergent Mirage Archer Support?
20% skill effect duration better than 10% Attack damage or not?

Actually +2 proj is the best.

How is everyone this league? I managed to finish my items, need some improv here and there (remove add mostly) but overall are kinda done.

I need one advice regarding chest, i want to go for explode - frenzy and i start craftint this week. What base is better: pure high evasion base or sadist garb?

Last league i was using pure evasion one and i was around 2.9k ES. Sadist garb base can go higher?

This are my items, ignore body armour, quiver i will go for addtional arrow chaos dot, waiting for awakener orb drop:):

Is corroded + shudering + abberant fossil still the way to craft the bow ?

Why damage on full life over vicious projectiles?

DOFL is a higher damage multiplier, while VP also has 10% less attack speed. You're always on full life with this build so its just a flat out better gem.

I've seen this mentioned in the build guide and the comments a few times. "Always on full life" and "virtually invincible", and I'm just not having that experience. To preface, I'm playing Ritual faux "SSF" with just a group of friends. I'm just getting into T14-16 maps and getting slapped. It's mostly the Sirus mobs and crazy juiced maps with friends (Beyond + Delirium + Harbingers + w/e else), but still one-shots left and right. The only way I can live it, is to just kite for a minute or 2 or just offscreen and pray.

4.9 Life/1.2 ES
Rings need upgrades
Amulet needs upgrade - Crafting Hunters Strength Amulet
Need Vertex - Have keys, but Uber Atziri would clap me right now
Need to 6-Link Quillrain
Dying Sun eventually

Any advice, not sure if I'm missing something completely obvious here.

Theres no way your going to be able to play with 1.2k ES, thats crazy town. Last league I was around 4.3k life 4k ES, atm im at 4k/3.5k in shoddy mid-tier gear still.

I just glanced at your profile for a quick second and the first thing that stood out to me were your flasks. I can't imagine you have 100% up time on them with the inc eff/decrease duration and no quality. Also your mana flask doesn't have "flask effect is not removed at full mana" mod and you're using a level 42 health flask with no instant mod. You only want the lower level flasks if you're going for instant recovery mod on it. Your health flask is 1990 health over 8 seconds (248 life per second) where just a simple lvl65 health flask with only a bleeding mod and maybe some quality is 2080 over 4 seconds (520 life per second) minimum.

Try out a flask set up along the lines of the OP's but with either a higher level life flask or your current one with instant recovery, a mana flask w/ doesn't queue mod, and roll your other flasks + add quality such that you can sustain them 100% uptime. You're also missing out on a lot of evasion by not having the 75-100% increase evasion mod on jade flask

You should be able to swing all of this on the cheap. GL!

edit: just read you said you're doing self-imposed SSF, so if you need to roll these flasks yourself that should still be pretty easy. Just aim for the evasion somewhere, then bleed and curse immunity somewhere. Then baubles for quality (will be cheaper if you just scour them and bauble to 20% while it is white)

Is this even worth it over getting premade 6-link bow and crafting on it with essences or fossils?

Nope, aberrant doesn't give us anything on bow as the only chaos mod we want is veiled crafted-only.

Corroded + jagged + metallic is the cheapest way for a +3 bow. Should take around 4 tries.

You could swap jagged for shuddering if you wanna gamble for attack speed. Craft of exile says it takes around 12 tries to get at least moderate attack speed roll and 4x as long to get the best roll.

I could need some advice on what to upgrade next

my gear so far


the build works just fine but I have some currency (3ex + 250ish chaos orbs) to spend on it, but I am not sure on what

I wanna know if there is something to do with this bow.


I got some what lucky when using a essence of dread and got +1 to socketed gem. Is there a way to get rid of the fire damage to craft chaos dot on it.
