Hello guys, I've been following this thread closely to pick up some ideas on what I can improve.

After a good 1-2 weeks farming and improving my gear little by little I am now at a point where I don't really know what I should invest into.

I have 6.6k HP and my resistances are capped. As for clear speed I am doing fine, killing everything without problems on T16 maps. The "problem" I have right now is when it comes to some conquerors like Drox, it takes a lot of time. I have only killed Sirus twice but the low lvl one so it doesn't count.

What I would like to improve is damage, as always, lol, and also how I could avoid the 1-shots from time to time (apart from getting gud at the game). I know for sure that I need a quiver with chaos damage multiplier/frenzy charges/phys attack, but apart from that I don't really know what else to improve. Should I just start getting 21/23 gems? If so, which ones should I get first?

Also what is the best possible gem setup for my siege ballista? I just 6-linked my armor myself and went from a 4-link ballista to 6-link and I am pretty sure my 6-link is not the best possible setup.

Thanks guys!

I respec to this build but i'm having some issues to run map t15+ mostly by the burning ground, dont know why I just take so much dmg

Gear:

Spoiler

How much life do you have bro? You have not taken any increased life from the big life wheel in the passive tree. Also you are just Level 81.

At the same time you are already using double nostalgia and devoto. 3 Items that are great but have no life rolls... I used almost only rares with nice resistances and a lot of life and when I was around level 90-92, i started to swap the rares for better items (step by step).

You should first focus on leveling to lets say 91 and put all the nodes into that nice juicy life wheel. Just for example, lets say you level to 91 and have 10 new skill points and put them into the life wheel, that would be increased life by 49% which is huge! Do that first (its not really hard from 81 - 91) and then you can work on your gear

Thanks again for this build, I'm pretty much done with it and it was very smooth play during metamorph league. Here is what it ended up looking like for me.

Few points from me.
-Scourge Arrow creates an additional spore at maximum stages helmet enchant is huge upgrade to damage
-Curse on hit+despair+frenzy link in Maloney's is great quality of life upgrade and very nice thing to get for this build
-Aul's Uprising with "Malevolence reserves no mana" affix let's me reserve malevolence, aspect of spider, herald of agony, skitterbots and purity of fire all at once. Needs "hoa reserves less mana" on circle of nostalgia, enlighten 3 and charisma (4 points) on passive tree to make that happen
-convert 34% physical damage to chaos (25% from darkscorn, 9% from body), and convert 16% physical damage to fire (6% helmet, 10% watcher's eye) with 85% chaos and 79% fire resistance (from divine flesh and purity of fire) seems like rather effective extra layer of defense
-thanks to 464 accuracy on ring, I have 100% chance to hit without precision
-I am using wither totems instead of balistas, because my damage is already so high, that I can sacrifice some of it for faster buildup, and it frees me 5link for plague bearer+vaal grace+empower+increased duration+increased aoe, and potentialy 6th link either withering step or malevolence for empower (since it will be 0% cost anyway with aul), and also frees me jewel socket and 4 points on tree

Hi@ll
i am new with playing this build. I searched a bow build who isnt a glas canon for a long time but nothing makes really fun. Then i found this Scourge Arrow Build. Really funto play. Ty for this :)

So i am fresh finish to equip my char and play only maybe 5 maps to test if i like this build or not. I tryed some T16 Maps and wonder that i can still alive on bossfights :) Run arrond and fire some green tomatos into the boss :-D nice
So can anyone look over my Equipment AND the Passive Tree please? Maybe a get any wrong and i dont see it...

A question to boss fights i have. i channel scourge arrow to 5 stacks or attack fast like a mashin gun vs bosses? So i drop my Wither Totems.. put on Blood Rage and attack?

btw.. here is my current gear i am using. Resistence all capped:

ty for help i say :)

Always max out your channeling when fighting bosses. Do the machine gun to keep the damage going if the boss is in some spammy bullethell phase but whenever you can max out the channel without putting yourself in danger. If you are looking to improve something with your gear then I would say get a new quiver.
