Want a build that is good at start and can be upgraded on and on since i dont like switching This is an excellent match for your goals. " pijanapanda wrote: I wana play SSF but now geting "hunter" items look like something impossible for average player. And what now? Without hunter modifier this build will do half damage. This will easily get you influenced items through raw drops in influenced maps and the occasional influenced exalted orb. It's not the easiest build to play in SSF, however, if you check poe.ninja, you'll see it's still the second most popular build in SSF. Very much attainable.

You should get them just like you get shaper/elder items. Might need someone who is better at crafting to figure out how to craft the bow now :D Last edited by Aeres on Feb 1, 2022, 2:57:13 AM	Posted by Aeres on Feb 1, 2022, 2:42:56 AM Quote this Post
OK that was a fun build for scourge league, ty all for help/guidance, especially grimjack. I finished by going down two different routes, Farrels Fur (aspect of cat = perma frenzy with great armor and evasion and a bit of extra phasing/stealth) and glorious vanity (for corrupted soul keystone, 15% of life as energy shield. also can get withered buff). i did try a good rare armour so getting 25% of life as energy shield (was over 2000 for Ghost shield) but didn't seem to add that much extra tankyness) For those of u interested my build is at https://pastebin.com/PJreM6Tz For the glorious vanity (doesn't show in pastebin properly) the two Vaal Notable Nodes are: Exquisite Pain: 31% Dot and 9% increased skill effect duration Ritual of shadows: 30% increased Chaos damage, 25% chance of inflicting withered (other passives add up to 9% extra life, 9%extra armr and 9% extra evasion)	Posted by 11Kobar11 on Feb 1, 2022, 10:32:10 AM Quote this Post

I thought those two were mutually exclusive?	Posted by Feydaleth on Feb 1, 2022, 8:34:56 PM Quote this Post
Your 1200 energy shield generates three shields. Of course you don’t benefit from ES directly but you get 3 shrouds at that value. Other QoL benefit is you have no mana problem for sure!	Posted by 11Kobar11 on Feb 2, 2022, 7:04:05 AM Quote this Post
well, wasting a few ex's on divine orbs between seasons, i rolled a glorious vanity that gave me two ritual of shadows, giving me 50% chance to inflict withered for 2 secs on hit. Gotta say, bosses melt..... guess though would be very much an end-game item, impossible to trade for.	Posted by 11Kobar11 on Feb 2, 2022, 11:49:38 AM Quote this Post

So you can swap in a level 18 gem to get a feel for what it would be like. " Xandharba wrote: I tried this build in Standard, it requires very expensive stuff to get enough dps for killing Sirus AL8 at a decent speed, I was hyped to start with this build next league but this toxic rain nerf and bread crumbs drops from maps just give me the feeling to skip it :( Other builds have too low dps or defences or requires mirrors to be efficient. What is the way to save this build dps ? If this is the only nerf we face, it's actually a buff overall. I put together a quick spreadsheet, this is equal to losing 1.66 gem levels. However, when you pair it up with a new quiver, we actually end up with 2% MORE damage. So: TR nerf: -13% dps New quiver with: 50% increased damage affix: +5% dps New Broadhead quiver, 10% attack speed implicit: +10% dps 5 + 10 - 13 = 2% increased overall. So... win? this is the nerf at level 20 gem we dont know at higher level if the nerf will be the same normal setup for TR champ in end game is with level 30 or 31 gem	Posted by Supalova on Feb 2, 2022, 12:10:05 PM Quote this Post
Now that the phasing bow mastery is gone, how do we get phasing?	Posted by HyperSlacker on Feb 2, 2022, 4:14:45 PM Quote this Post
