That is a good option too :) Just requires a good chest/helmet to realy benefit!

For the chest, you have quite some flexibility since your chest also works fine with a BBBG 4Link while leveling/starting with endgame (you can make craft this for 25chroms and a bunch of jeweler's on any chest you like). This allows you to go Brand - Curse on Hit - Despair, and depending on the boss either Culling Strike or Vaal Grace. Of course, if you want both, you need a 5l, and if/when you get awakened Curse on Hit, a 6l. The flame dash can sit in the enlighten slot as long you dont have it yet.

Feels really nice - currently doing low tier maps, and I don't have a lot of issues. Sure, I do die sometimes, but I'm zerging quite a bit.

How important are the extra duration nodes? I'm wondering which skills from your tree would be a good start to play with some cluster jewels.

They arnt that important if u get some increase dduration on the extra trees that you add. It's quite multiplicative, since we don't have much increased duration though.



Finished my bow

Hej, i heard tarkecat say on his twitch efficacy is stronger because it has increased duration tag and swift affliction loses duration? is this right or ?

It's a easy calculation to do to check. I calculated it back then, and it didn't improve my dps due to I already ady had quite some increased duration. But before you get the duration nodes, maybe it's right.

You can just do dot damage * attack speed * duration.

Remember it has to be a perfekt scenario where the boss doesn't move, haha.

right now efficacy is slightly better for my TR and much worse for my caustic arrow, since CA does not scale on increased duration but you will have to remember that the entire dot period has to be applied for it to be stronger

with level 19/20 swift affliction

Duration * attack speed * damage over time

1.86*2.59*90837 = = 437.598 dps

with level 19/20 efficacy

2.18*2.59*77764 = 439.071 dps

Bear in mind, as I grow more gem levels, chaos damage over time multi etc. the scales will tip in swift afflictions favour due to it being a stronger multiplier on damage.

Thanks for checking on it man! :) appreciate it

Corroded fossils are extremely expensive atm. You might want to look into using alterations for +2 or use the 6link short bow from divination cards with a shrieking essence of dread.

Hunter amulets, ilvl =82 are decreasing in price and I just crafted mine using aberrant fossils

Man you are crazy gamer. You already have all the stuff I maybe wont have at the end of league. Where did you get all the currency? So far I am at T6 maps. Mostly using CA, realized TR almost never used. After few levels I would like to add discipline, but that would need enlighten and probaly vertex...

Question for you, In your POB, you have stormbrand applying despair and culling strike but I don't see it used in any of your videos. You always have scourge arrow. Is that an update and if so what are the links? Enjoying the build but have to work on making my character tankier.

Thanks.

Got lucky got my +3bow in 2 attempts. Best league start i ever had. Thanks! I will use this bow for now until i got currenty to craft en multimod a better one. Still havr craft open for dmg over time. Or chaos multi i guess? Dont have chaos multi unlocked yet
