Hello!

Just would like to say I've been enjoying your twist on the build. I started playing Scourge back in 3.10 and I decided to try your take on it this league and it's been pretty solid. I'm level 96 HC and I've done up to A5, and all the Heist bosses. The tankiness feels solid, and the flask duration makes it easy to be mildly brainless while mapping/heisting.

I guess my real complaint and the reason I don't want to drop any more money into the build is the lack of damage. I'm honestly not sure where I can squeeze more blood out of this build to get the damage numbers up, but maybe that's because I'm pretty new to bow builds.

Got any immediate recommendations? The available items in HC are slimmer, but I have about 4,000C just sitting around so sky is mostly the limit. Thanks in advance for the help, I'm just hoping to push this more instead of just going full aura-stacker.

As you crave DPS, you really want Tailwind boots.

Craft Spider aspect on your gear, so you have curse on hit on corrupted gloves and spider on ring, etc. Alternatively, get a despair curse on hit ring and craft a better gloves (+36% AS while focus, +1 frenzy or DoT, etc.).

140% inc ailment duration while focus on helm is important.

Thank you, I'll immediately give that a try. Again though, seriously thank you for the countless hours and thankless work you've put into this build. It amazing to finally have a bow build that feels this good.

You are welcome. I'm glad to see HC people starting to pick up the build (or at least try it out more seriously). On a different note, make sure you keep the high ilvl Viridian Jewel drops to use later (eithe craft or buy). Aside from life and AS (and poison duration/chance or chaos dot multi), you can squeeze lots of resist out of them. Btw, thank you for the kind words.

Hi, thank you for the build, I don't remember having as much fun in a long time. It makes it feel like a true action game!!!

I am getting a little confused on where to go from here. My dmg is OK killing max-level conquerors, but I have had a few close calls and would like to improve defences before proceeding.

HELMET: for fortify effect, should I use crusader orb on helmet (non-dex base) that has the pod enchant, or try to hit enchant on a dex base? (fossil or lab...)



BOOTS: +1 end charge is hard to craft with any meaningful mods, do you have any tips? or should I go for tailwind?



BELT: i looted an elder leather belt that I tried to craft but the pool is so large. Under limited currency, should I stick to a Stygian or a normal leather belt? (stygian's jewel helps a lot in rounding up resists and missing stats)



Which would you suggest I focus on first? I'm sitting on around 15 ex and 300c in HC (trade options are a bit limited)

Thanks again and in advance

I'd awaken those boots with a set that has Tailwind and see what pops out. They should be at least usable and I'm a big fan of the set I made.

For the belt, I'd suggest Hyperboreus unless you're really hurting for HP/Non-cold resistances. It lets you use Focus every 8 seconds instead of 12, costs basically nothing, and it comes with a variety of useful damage bonuses + Syndicate suffix of choice.

Also trying to get a specific enchant with fossils/lab runs is a fool's errand. Just buy a base with the enchant and save yourself an unfathomable amount of time.

I will save for the orb then.

Nice option, it could be possible to fit it in with better resists on quiver.

That's been my feeling too. The dex base isn't going to make that much of a difference so I will use a crusader's orb on my current AR/ES one.

Just want to make a quick comment on Hyperboreus.

This belt helps reduce Focus cooldown from 12s to 8s (max roll). Focus has 4s active time.

The interesting thing about Focus CD is that the CD starts right away when you hit the Focus button. So without Hyperboreus,Focus has 4/(12-4+4) = 30% uptime. With Hyperboreus, Focus has 4/(8-4+4) = 50% uptime.

If you have a setup with Focus (on helm and on chest), try Hyperboreus. Bind Focus on left mouse and see how it improves your QoL. 50% uptime with +120% Fortify is great for defense, and 50% uptime with +140% poison duration is great for offense.

Hello i have no idea what i'm doing. (noob here)
I don't even know the actual translation for the VR bow (i know english but it confuses me) and i'm not sure i understand the shock mechanic.

But so far i really like the build lmao



Can someone guide me a little :D

**(i bought enlighten 3 and Fenumu's Weave to use together with HoA, Flesh and Stone, Aspect of the Spider and Artic armour but i ended up with so little mana it didn't felt so good. plus i had trouble with the resistances when changing to an enchanted +1 pod one)



so..

1. what gemset should i prioritize now? (just started mapping)
2. should i anoint hardened scars on that amulet?
3. what to do with the **
4. what does the "effect of shock" means on the PoB (Configuration/For Effective DPS) and what should i put on it

damn it's so much
hope someone can help me out a lil bit

Another note is Hyperboreus' other stats. You do extra damage with ailments vs. Chilled enemies, and activating Focus will chill nearby enemies with a 30% Chill for ~4 seconds (its duration is boosted by the Helmet craft). This also makes Skitterbots a fun alternative aura to run since you can now get up to 70% increased damage from the Chill Skitterbot touching stuff, assuming you have no other means to chill enemies.

Speaking about belts also nice option here imo, attack speed with buff is crazy fast and upgraded version of harbinger buff is way better than casual one. Other belt stats also help a bit - life and global cooldown recovery (around -2 sec cd on focus).
btw WolfieNa Inpulsa feels great in combo! thx for advise!

There’s so many build options. Which one can kill a8 Sirus on a budget?

Hey guys

having a bit of trouble with DPS. My gear is not great, I've kind of paused this league and just came back and wanted to give this build a whirl. Build seems perfectly fine, but I'm having a lot of trouble with DPS. I'm just shy of A5 (spawning conqs) but my boss damage feels incredibly low, conquerors literally take minutes at this point - even map bosses take around a minute, often more if the map has boss enhancing mods.

I'm (obviously) missing the final lab, but that doesn't seem like a big issue as the final lab is not really a big DPS upgrade.

Obviously haven't played much so my gems are only 19, but plugging it in POB and upping them to 20 and qualing them to 20 only nets me about 25ish percent of damage or so, and given my current experience with bosses it doesn't seem like a significant increase.

I don't really have a lot of currency atm, just farming and trying the build out but I'm kind of hardstuck with what I'm supposed to do next buildwise - if I should go for a circling oblivion/wating affliction cluster, try out a darscorn or am I doing something very very wrong with where I currently am?
