+3 No VP Bow
Price: 6-7 Exalts
Damage: 3,036,739
How to Craft: Buy a 6L Short Bow, Thicket Bow, or Grove Bow that is itemlevel 64 or higher. If the bow is not white, scour it. Then spam Orbs of Alteration until you get "+2 to level of socketed bow gems". DO NOT AUGMENT THE BOW IF IT IS MISSING A SUFFIX. If it already has a suffix, it makes it a bit harder, but proceed anyway. Regal the bow, then use an Orb of Annulment to randomly remove an affix from the item. You may need to use two Annulments if your bow had a suffix on it originally. You want your bow to be yellow rarity with ONLY "+2 to level of socketed bow gems". If you happened to get +1 to socketed gems or attack speed on the bow by random chance, you can keep them. You will then need to craft "Cannot Roll Attack Mods" using the crafting bench for one Exalt. Then purchase a beast called a "Farric Wolf Alpha". Then, visit your Menagerie, and use the beast craft "Add a Prefix, Remove a Random Suffix" on the bow. The only possible option is +1 to Socketed Gems. If you've done everything correctly, you should have a bow with "+1 to level of Socketed Gems" and "+2 to level of Socketed Bow Gems". Then you want to return to your crafting bench, and craft "Can have multiple Crafted Modifiers". All that's left is to finish crafting 11 to 13% Attack Speed (Local), 20 to 22% Attack Speed while a Rare or Unique Enemy is Nearby, and then 36 to 40% Non-Ailment Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier. Your bow is now complete.
Or more specfically:

I thought after 3.9 we can only craft a max of 2 crafts on a bow? Since the mod is now 'Can have up to 3 crafted modifiers' meaning that mode +2 others. Doesn't that mean that you can't craft:
1. crafting 11 to 13% Attack Speed (Local)
2. 20 to 22% Attack Speed while a Rare or Unique Enemy is Nearby
3. 36 to 40% Non-Ailment Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier
Well I'm awakening level 8 and have almost all of the awakened maps completed aside from unique's. Damage is fucking amazing and even with double beyond fully modded t16's I absolutely shred despite the large buff bosses have along with metamorphs. I can kill Sirus if I put more stock into chaos resistance but Its not a big deal. Builds strong asf if you know what you're doing.
You're not having any problems with chaos damage buffs on from Conquerors in late level maps? All the chatter on reddit was making me concerned, and thinking about picking up Shavs to deal with it.
I'm only maybe 30% of the way to that kind of Atlas level, so far I've had zero problems.
I'm just shredding everything. Metamorphs are rather trivial and kill me like 1/25 maps or so depending on mods. I've been chaining elder/shaper guardians and every t16 on the planet for awhile now. I'll still die by some random one-shot mechanic but atm every build is suffering in that regard. Haven't noticed a significant difficulty increase with awakening level being higher. You definitely don't need shavs to survive.
First of all, thank you, typicaldemon, for fantastic build and guide.
Strict to the point, i think my gear is really above average, PoB shows ~100k DoT dmg, all res are capped, except chaos (-10%), 4100 hp / 2170 es, 19k evasion (with flasks 55k) but i am still ONE TAPPED by some bosses/metamorphs, and, for example, I couldnt finish Catharina (Betreyal Mastermind), cause i was 6 time one tapped and lost (she was like 25% hp left).
Not sure if i dont know how to play? After guide I shot few Frenzy (with Despair on it) + Withering Step between mobs and spam toxic rain. On hard bosses Wither. Or maybe i am missing something?
Any help appreciated, but maybe it is not problem with me, but with my playstyle or just mechanic of this league.

There's a big bolded sentence that says the VP bow is no longer obtainable. I'll add it to that bow as well :)

Unfortunately, you're probably misplaying. Generally (not always), if you get hit for over 6k in a single hit, you did something wrong. Anything that's killing you on Cat is 100% avoidable, however difficult it may seem to be to actually see whats going on; maybe look up a kill/mechanic guide for her. As for Metamorphs — I think I've died once in the last week maybe? You're likely just putting in anything without looking and holding RMB. As for what to avoid in Metamorph encounters, that'd be an entire thread. I'd recommend trying to put on attacks as frequently as possible, and playing around what you put on it.

Well, to be honest, i usually played more tanky builds (Molten Strike, Cyclone, even Necromancer summoner previous league was tanky thanks to the minions), so maybe i am trying to stand and attack too often.
Let's back to the Catarina - she put some shit on the ground and i didnt have space around to avoid it. Also, to be clear - i am avoiding it by Blink Arrow, and sometimes i use Withering Step for faster moving. But unfortunatelly, she spam not too often any other minions and i cant refill my potions. My stats are OK?
