Returning Projectiles Support is a support gem which causes projectiles to return and pierce all targets while returning.

Hey,
do you have any advice or a guide even to craft the Amethyst Ring with Accuracy?

Any help is appreciated :D

Fractured T1 accuracy on an amethyst base is 1 div.

If you want the Dex, I would spam essence of sorrow until a third suffix you like. If you have an open prefix, craft Suffixes cannot be changed. Veiled Chaos, Craft Mana and hope prefixes didn't fill and hopefully unveil life hybrid. Hopefully this is your only prefix. If not, suffixes cannot be changed and annul, hoping to keep your life as only prefix. Craft minus mana to attacks.

You won't be able to redeemer slam for the projectile attack damage, but I would think this would work until you can craft another.

Chaos res has really low weight, but I just got Hybrid Life, Crafted minus mana to attacks, Essence dex, T1 chaos res, and the fractured accuracy for under 5 div. Craft of exile said based on current prices it was like 766 chaos, plus the cost of the base. If you settled for something higher weight like a T1-T2 elemental resist it would be even better.

Just messing around, I didn't have much luck in the emulator with fossils (fundamental, serrated, and pristine) on a redeemer base to try for T2 accuracy, T2 dex, T2 life.

not a returning proj build, but still trying to hit that COC ice spear feeling. can any1 check the POB. can't seem to get it to wortk: https://pobb.in/6k0b5VEkv3Wp

I'd like to add that the mod is actually worthless on ice spear.

Loved the triggerbots version, might try out this.

Cheers.

What is the mechanic here that makes the ice spear fire in a complete circle? I have copied your POB almost to the letter, but it's firing in random directions towards enemies and not in a complete circle like yours.

This is so much fun and satisfying (compared to my old EA build.) dropped around 100 divs worth of investment for gearing but I still have a long way to go to min-max. Cheers for the awesome guide!

I cant use one of the life auras, what could I be missing?

Having the same issue, according to POB your life auras reserve 32% life, mine reserves 33,33% so it will only let me run with 2 of these 3, trying to boost life does not seam to help. Anyone have input to this?

Edit
Never mind, just find it, a jewl hidden all the way up in the cluster woth reservation eff
