[3.5] Voidfletcher Ice Shot | Tornado Shot | Deadeye (deathless all bosses, depth 600+)
|
Hello everyone,
this is just my second league in POE and this build is my 4th character in my entire career. But I decided to reply with some thoughts and some help for people like me, who are not totally a beginner, but also far being expert in this game. Because after all I think this is a FANTASTIC build. First of all, I did not realize how similar this build is to other Voidfletcher Deadeye here in the forum. I got a lot of valuable information other thread that can be transferred to this build of course. I recommend to everyone (who needs more general and detailed information) to have a look into the other thread, also its a lot more active there compared to here, I have the feeling. Ok just some random unstructured thoughts: This are some personal thoughts my own experience, I am still kinda new to this game. I am currently just lvl 88 and have played this build since last Friday/Saturday. - Wow, leveling this build is a NIGHTMARE. As there are no details about how to level this, I just used the end game skills (ice shot mainly) to beat all the 10 acts. Jesus, I am not kidding, wow the damage is so damn low I never experienced anything like this before lol. Even some fights with magic/rare mobs took multiple minutes to beat them. Encounters with Red/yellow beasts Einhar turned into a fucking kiting drama all over the entire map, not kidding lol. I was so mad man, so frustrated :D I had to annoy some guys in my friend list all time to help me with the act bosses. And all of this while I already invested in leveling gear and some of uniques that are recommended!!!!! I clearly recommend to google some deadeye/archer leveling guide, there must be better ways. Never again man haha - Mana sustain! Wow, during leveling with ice shot you have literally zero sustain. You can't spam that skill at all. I googled some leveling gear and then found "Thief's Torment", a ring with quite a lot mana/life on hit least for leveling its more than enough) But sustain is so tough during leveling, that even claw nodes don't replace the ring. It took me to around level 65 IIRC until I could replace that ring finally and the leech build took over. - Get voidfletcher ASAP. this build is nothing without it haha. difference after equipping voidfletcher was day and night. Such a cool effect, and you can push it real far, so many projectiles and explosions, so cool. - I never use Tornado Shot at all (I'm level 88 or so, maybe my Tornado Shot has not scaled enough I guess? Also, prices for helmet enchantment are a joke. My Ice shot is not even lvl 20, but it kills pretty much everything and feels 10x stronger than TS. I talk about T13+, even melting bosses (have not tried t15 and 16 yet) I bought a Starkonja with +40% Ice Shot damage. Was really cheap, I think 1-2 Ex if I remember correctly. It feels really strong, don't know if that's a popular enchantment, but I can recommend it. - 2 Life Flasks? Hm, doesn't feel good to me. I rather use another "your crit chance is lucky" flask + movement speed during flask effect. Sooo much better IMO... - In the passive tree, next to golems blood, there is another jewel socket. why not use it? its so easy to reach and makes a big difference IMO. Jewels are just so OP. Edit: Lol i just looked at the LVL90 passive tree, if you check out LVL100 passives, its included. Cheers !! /// Forgot to say that I totally love this build (now after I got most of the gear together). My post is not a rant, I just want to help some poor guys like me.

I guess this thread is dead for now, too late into league :)
I did many T15 and T16 UGS yesterday, build not optimized, but maps and bosses were no problem at all. And this build is so fast, none of videos do really show how fast it can be. Only downside here is, that its not really suitable for MF Gear. you run low tier I guess. And how do you reach 5,5 K life? I'm on 4,5 K now and have no idea how to get another 1000 life... also, capping resis was really tough... but I'm 75-80 everywhere now after all. Must be enough :) Ok, im gonna link my gear now and hope that someone checks in and can help me with some commentary on what to upgrade next ... What do you think? Also, how do people get 1M dps?? After huge upgrades i made it to 300k now, but I can never imagine to triple this, even with double abyss sockets on gloves and TS enchantment.... Последняя редакция: markuskanada#3454.

" I am sitting at 5.7K Life right now (lvl 91) still have some life nodes I can capture. Get a Chest with Lots of Life instead of Hyrri's. Truth is this build does so much damage you really don't need it. I don't use it and I don't even have the extra arrow voidfletcher and I have killed all content in the game so far. |

The secret to run over everything playing this or a similar build? Invest 40ex,and you re good.This build can do everything,fast as fuck,harbour farm,T16 under 2mn,i even killed Uber Elder with my 5k5 hp(without the unnatural instinct that i bought for the lulz cause i dont know what to do with my exalted)
In the end,i will never go back to anything else that a similar build.It s too damn fast,will definitly rebuild this as a starter next league. |

" hey your gear looks really interesting. what exactly is this build? I got stuck with ice shot because tornado shot doesnt feel so good in comparison. i really enjoy ice shot, but your gear looks like what I actually thought of when I looked for a bow build (queen of the forest and tornado). i would really like to see your build in action. is there a video or soemthing? |
|
" hey thanks for answering. how much DPS do you have? And Do you only use Tornado Shot or still Ice Shot or both? Have to think about that rare body armor, but just by looking at the numbers it seems to make you lose quite a lot of dps |
|
" Hey dude,the build is very similar to the one OP posted,i just changed some gear trying to min/max it the way i wanted,especially around the abyssal jewels.I also decided to play QotF cause speed is really important to me,it s so smooth and cumfortable to play. I also changed a bit the tree,to grab as much MS as i could without ruining the dps and that s it. I dont have any vid but what i can tell you is that i just run like flash and drop one tornado shot here and there,it OS everything. |

I just saw your helmet enchant, which is 25-35 ex lol, on both devoto and starkonja. thats discouraging me :D
especially, because I have read that the TS enchantment is one of the "build-enabling" enchantments, so i feel like i dont want to play TS without it. only thing that is bothering me, is that we have so many uniques that its hard to gear MF stuff.... |

Enchant is 15ex,some ppl are just going crazy on prices,i hope they will enjoy to have these items on legacy Kappa.
You can also buy another helmet with the enchant,way more cheaper. Personally idc about the MF gear,i dont think it will make a huge difference,considering the fact that i can run T16 in 2mn.But i m new to this game,maybe MF gear is really important. |

" I have a storm brand elementalist with 60 Increased Item Quantity and can also farm t16 with it (except of a few bosses) and the difference in drops is huge in my opinion. really, you should try it. getting some decent magic find numbers can make a big difference. only downside is that you mess with your suitability , as resistances and life have to step back for MF items. I also have looked for other helmets but this guide says starkonja is mandatory. but honestly, this guide says about almost every piece of gear that its mandatory and that there are no alternatives :D while the other build, the one this is based on, has similar gear and claims none of it is really mandatory :D confusing |
