Hello everyone, i've just started playing this and the barrage playstile feels kinda clunky. From the videos provided in the guide, everyone is shooting 4-5 bolts of power siphon. What gem do they use?
Thanks

Barrage support mainly (check out the gems in my armor ) And later on you will want an enchanted helm with additional proj as well.

Also made sure you are using kinetic blast for your main clear skill! Much faster!

Hi!
I really enjoy playing this build but I have no idea which item I should upgrade now.
I think helmet would be cheapest DMG boost but correct me if I'm wrong.



thank you in advance :)

+2 PS projectiles/- chaos res helmet would be huge upgrade, so if uou can fix your resistances after grabbing that, ii would def do that.

Today I didn't have much time to play but I change my helmet and belt to fill res. Also I found I can craft prefix on gloves so I add +1 projectile gem
Now I know i hate doing Uber Lab more then once for Ascendency ;)



I tried for the first time Simulacrum, unfortunatly died and lost all portals on wave 20 Kosis.

I've had some degree of success using spellslinger in the gloves with bladefall, and kinetic bolt in the 6 link with the usual supports. Been able to clear up to t13 on level 16 gems, with a simulacrum orb added. Going to keep pushing to see if this is viable for end game.

But in the end the basic idea is the same. Stack tons of poison. It ramps up quickly between the bolts and the bladefall overlapping on enemies. I actually tried both set ups extensively and prefer this one, because kinetic bolt doesn't require the projectile pierce nodes and scales off wand damage. So I crafted myself a 250 dps wand with the chance for 100% more poison damage and it seems to be OK. But in all honesty the bleed bow glad I played earlier in the league had much smoother gameplay, albeit at the expense of defensive layers. This build is significantly more tanky.

Thanks for the guide!

Hello all and thank you for the build & guide.

Quick question why not use ?

Late reply, but yes you can use Dendrobate, I usually avoid it as it's glass-cannon body, and poison builds need all survivability they can get.

i know this question was probably already answered reviously, but isn t wind dance kinda useless ? i mean since blocking do proc on hit effect (like gain end charge per second when hit) doesn t it mean that the damage reduction part is kinda useless ? same for kintsugi, wouldn t it be better to go for some gears with more evasion and another timeless jewel, currently playing the build level 76 (started yesterday) and the playstyle is really enjoyable but i find those parts a bit strange, it doesn t seem like dropping the two would harm me that much so i wanted to know a bit more about your reason for still chosing the items

No because for Wind Dancer and Kintsugi, blocking actually do not counts as a hit. Its weird interaction, but it works.

yeah i saw that while doing some research after posting, also why are you annointing disintegration, cause there are way better nodes for damage and i don t know why you re not taking them ?
(PS: the interaction between kintsugi blade dancer and block is insanely busted if you think about it a little)
(PS PS: with brutal restraint you can get poison you inflict deal damage faster on Method of madness, if you want to min max the build i think it would be pretty huge, got one just now by sheer luck, best 50 c invested)
