Is this Bow worth using over Darkscorn?

Its most likely less damage because of no chaos multi

Anyone mind looking at my gear and pob for my character "AnotherFailedBuild" under the PS4 username "Poetical-Lies"? I'm kind of just looking at a tree and have no idea if I'm going to the right areas. This is my gear:

I don't know what to upgrade next or what most of my gems should even be.

Your gear is pretty solid but your gem setup is lacking. 4L wither totem is pretty important to have reliable and quick 15 stacks, not having CWDT is big survivability loss as well, Withering Step is very important too (instant 7 wither stacks at level 21). Not having Infused Channeling is big survivability and DPS loss too (I would def use it over unbound ailments, but ideally i would just 3 off-color that body). You also do not have much damage on gear outside of circles and tailwind boots.

My damage seems fine. I don't even have to use max spores. I also run Divine flesh whatever that is or does I can't remember now. Yeah I'm going to sort my links. thanks for the advice, I will heed it

Changed the gems to something more and included withering step etc. I put infued channeling into pob and it made me lose damage for whatever reason, probably different trees.

Was making two 3L on my bow and accidentally six linked it so now I have two scorns that are 6L to be sold for 15ex ea on PS4 had to buy another lol life is good.

You need to also enable is infusion active when switching to infused channeling to see the true damage difference. Also infusion is 8% less chaos damage taken what is pretty powerful with Divine Flesh.

Have anyone tried to incorporate Bottled Faith in this build? I'm experimenting with switching out Cinderswallow for it for tough (non-mob-generating) bosses, but ideally I would like to get a chance for onslaught on hit on a jewel for this to really take effect.

Why is your precision gem level 1? I'm starting this build and i don't want to miss something. Guide say Lev 20 Quality 0% is that right? thx

The main guide is mainly aimed at (a very viable build for) early-end-game on a budget, but there exists several variations of it, particularly if you have a larger budget and/or stronger items. See section End-game optimization of the guide for details regarding some of these end-game variations.

Regarding level 1 Precision, in particular, this is when using the Fenumus's Weave gloves to facilitate running all of the following:
- Level X (14-20 depending on intelligence) Despair as aura using Blasphemy (0% reserved mana via Impresence amulet),
- Level 20 Aspect of the Spider via the gloves (25% mana reserved),
- Level 20+ Malevolence (50% mana reserved),
- Level X Herald of Agony (25% mana reserved),

These mana reservations sum up to 100%, which naturally is not viable, but by using a Level 4 Enlighten (level 3 barely works) supporting Malevolence and Herald of Agony, the reservation ends up as

<Aspect of the Spider> 25% + 0.88 * (<Malevolence> 50% + <Herald of Agony> 25%)
= 91%,

Which facilitates also including running a very low-level Precision (where mana reserved is not a percentage but a flat value based on the gem's level) whilst still having enough free mana to throw up 4-linked wither totems (~45-ish free mana works fine for me). The no Precision to level 1 Precision boost is huge (e.g. 40% crit chance), even if e.g. the subsequent level 1 Precision to level 5 Precision step is not as large. Thus many of us run level 1 Precision for this build approach, even if we could possible manage to squeeze in level 2 (not really that big of a gain, but at the cost of lots of valuable non-reserved mana lost).

Just wanted to say this was the first build that didn't make me quit poe after one week. Really enjoyed making incremental enhancements to the gear every play session.
The grind really didn't take its toll. I farmed over 100ex worth of stuff and last time I played was Betrayal with maybe 5ex total. Crazy. Cheers

Mind looking at my gear and pob for my character "AnotherFailedBuild" under the PS4 username "Poetical-Lies" and let me know in order what to upgrade?

I respecced into your tree but I feel I do less damage now but I'm barely res capped if that with my current gear.

Just struggling.
