Working on my build, so far i'm really happy with it.

Killed sirus 8 no problem, finished sim 20 with a kosis on last wave (not deathless, but deathless on one without kosis on last wave), etc.

My issue is damage though. I feel like my damage is lacking when it comes to end game content - taking too long to kill bosses and thick delirium.

unbuffed my VD is at 50k, with buffs it gets up to around 170-180k.



I've tried using POB but its not showing my dmg correctly - unsure why.

Any suggestions on potential upgrades, or perhaps I'm missing something that should be obvious?

My recommendation is to run one of the medium crit cluster jewels with a Precise Commander/Pressure points combo. You do not have a source of double damage from your bow so it is nice to have it on somewhere else either through passives or through other gear. With the many VD balls spawning, there is a good chance to deal double damage with them and this will bump your damage from 200k per ball to 400k per ball and it will scale even better with more damage. This will be the boost you need to melt endgame bosses.

My other recommendation is to run Frenzy linked to Combustion since you are not running it in the main 6 link. This is a free -fire resist to enemies.

I feel that Combustion would be better suited in place of Spell Cascade in the main links but if your playstyle is better suited to the extra corpse consumption through your helmet enchant, then definitely have combustion in your Frenzy setup.

Also, maybe accuracy on one more piece of gear will top you off for a better hit chance if you are not already at >90%.

Good luck.

so... i improved my gear a bit, and its day vs night the difference now.
BUT i cant get a cluster with Doryani's Lesson, Disorienting Display, Cremator, are you sure it can be done? NONE is selling like that and i crafted like 15 yesterday or more and never got even doryani and disorienting toghether

The issue is that the leech, Doryani’s lesson, and the blind, Disorientating Display, are both suffixes which would mean you can only grab one of these as they share the same pool as the jewel sockets. If you grab Disorientating Display then you will have to grab a Watchers Eye with fire damage leeched as life while affected by Anger. If you grab Doryani’s Lesson instead, it is advised to grab blind from a blind on hit abyssal jewel.

Switched from my ice coc nova build cause I died allot. I regret I didn't play this bow build from start. I would be 100 by now.

DAMN i was an idiot, BUT used like 300 and make 7ex while trying to get both XD

Thanks again for the help!

I'm really enjoying this build so far. I was doing pretty good but now that I have hit higher level maps I have been struggling with staying alive. I find myself struggling to kill bosses because I run out of flask charges and I just can't get any crits. I guess my crit is to low to sustain the high damage. I also find myself running out of mana every now and then. Is there another regen method for mana I should be using besides the flask? My gear is crap. I don't have much currency to work with. Is there anything in my build that can help significantly for survival and progress in to tier 16 maps? Any tips as to what I should be doing differently or that I am missing? Thanks in advance.



I have this bow i'm trying to six link but again i'm just waiting to be able to afford it.

Yup, crit looks like it's abit low with the Thicket bow base. We resolve the mana issues with one simple fix, crafting the minus mana mod from the veiled mod pool on one of your rare rings. We can hold down Barrage without losing any mana despite not having any leech or mana regen at all in the build. The other solution is to keep your Barrage at level 1. Do not level it beyond level 1. We do so much damage through our spells that the damage from Barrage is not efficient to scale in the bigger picture.

With your quiver, the crafted mod does not add anything to the build as we are scaling Volatile Dead damage. Either grab one with life on it and an open suffix to craft the Frenzy on crit mod (again, another mod from the Incursion veiled mod pool). The same applies for the belt, the Elemental Damage with Attacks mod only applies to attacks so you can craft a different mod (balance your resists/attribute requirements).

If you need me to craft any of these mods on your items, just message me in-game when I'm available and I'll craft them for you.

Yeah, no worries. A lot of profit from crafting cluster jewels this league especially for the popular builds. Good luck crafting.

Both builds can achieve the same level of damage and defense. If you still plan on trying the CoC ice nova build, try to incorporate some of the defensive aspects of this build into your current build. Maybe it will help your survivability. Try going for a Timeless Jewel defensive upgrade (Either go for Glancing Blows, Wind Dancer, Divine Flesh, or Corrupted Soul - all good options).

thanks! I didn't even realize I had cascade in there.

too focused on gear i guess, overlooked it. dmg shot up from 50k unbuffed to 83k. now I'm working on my bow, going for same prefixes but as/double dmg and crit multi t1 as suffixes.

thanks again, now I'm rolling content.
