Hello,
I'm a casual player, slowly making my way through the story using this build.
Before I invest more time into the character I would like to know if, when geared decently (not great, since I will never have the money or knowledge to get the top things), I would be able to run Heists and Delves.
Thank you.

Hi,

can only speak for the heist part as i dont like delve:

Done about 100 contracts (most 80+) and like 10 blueprints, and none of those posed a big challenge. clear with ballista set up in front of the doors while the npc does his thing is pretty easy. my gear is not great, most expensive item by far was unnatural instinct. hope this helps!

This guide begins with Precision and Purity Of Elements, but then the endgame version uses neither one of those and runs Grace, Determination, and Malevolence instead.

Once you switch over, where does ailment immunity come from? And does accuracy just become one of those "bits and pieces on everything" stats?

Is this bow good to work on to get it 6l ?

That you have to respec three times really sucks. That is only burning currency at all.....

I never did that and followed the endgame tree from the start. You swap to EA pretty early and it works fine with it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But if you realise that after level 50 it is worthless to go on.. Already need 23 respec points.

no need to respec.but you shouldnt follow early guide..That early guide is made if you want to respec. I did respec only some points as I didnt took any of those early nodes and stuff and lvled really fast.

The build is just too squishy. Pretty much any "empowered" rare mob can flatline you in one hit. Damage scaling is not enough to sustain hard fights(the currency farming rate is too low to keep up with ramping up difficulty). Maybe it's solved with "mindblowing farming strats 100div an hour" or not a leaguestarter, but yeah... Probably should've start with Champ.

I guess the playstyle just isn't for you. Do you yeet into packs or stutter-place ballies in a snake-like pattern?

I got deep into red maps with a corrupted 6L body and bought my +3 Bow when I hit t14. Now I'm murdering t16 delirium maps without caring which mods it rolls on a 2.5 div budget (one div for the bow and I set myself a limit to 20c for everything else except polaric ring) and channel every crucible to 100%. Yes I usually die once or twice a map, but most of the time b/c I get carefree and start yeeting into packs.

Even Soul Eater mobs aren't a problem anymore, and I'm still saving for a respec to clusters and a way better bow.

Will a thicket with a 10%ias roll be enough for this build? no crucible speed rolls. Got +bow gems

Build is on the squishy side, but for not super juiced content defences are more than fine. You can get ailment immunity from ancestral vision jewel(50%), mode on boots + eater implicit on them or as i did is impossible escape in ee radius and taking prismatic skin. You'll need 30% avoid ailment eater implicit though, which is orb of conflict outcome, but for now i take 10% small avoid ailment node to fix it.
