A very noob questions

I saw that there are changes in 3.8 to staves and daggers and wands and that they can roll +1-+3 gem levels and global gems levels as well?

Would bow still be advised for the build? (I know you indicated earlier the quiver gives life and crit)

Cheers

Edit: I realize without bow you cannot do 2x 6link but was wondering would the caster 1 handed + 2 handed global gem level offset that

I don't fully know the new mechanics and the upcoming +x to global gems stuff so i will only theorycraft now.If we can get global fire or spell gems to 1h weapons then 1h+shield or dual wielding even might be good with a 4-link flamethrower or fire trap and a 6-link other one.Staffs are already in good position so if you like using one, go ahead but you will lose life and some other stats.You can 6-link a staff btw.I'm not sure if you mistyped there.After patch goes live, i need to do some math but i need to see every new affixes that they added to the weapons first.

Thank you, please keep us updated

Here's the exact wording

Caster oriented one-handed weapons will now be able to roll some new modifiers that grant +1 to all Fire, Cold, Lightning, Physical or Chaos Spell Skill Gems, not just ones socketed in the item (Sceptres will not have the Chaos Spell Gem mod available). Staves will able to roll a modifier that grants +1 to 2 instead, and have a rarer higher tier +3 modifier available. One handed caster weapons will be able to roll a very rare additional mod that grants +1 to all Spell Gems, and the Staff version of the modifier will grant +1 to 2 to all Spell Gems. These weapons will no longer be able to roll equivalent modifiers that only applied to socketed gems.

It's worth noting that these new modifiers don't apply to Support Gems.

Daggers and Warstaves that can't roll caster modifiers will still be able to roll the old local elemental gem modifiers, and all non-caster weapon types will still be able to roll any existing local gem modifiers like +1 to socketed Bow gems.

There are a number of consequences of these changes. Because the global gem modifiers are much more powerful than the previous local modifiers, we've removed the low level crafting recipe that added +1 to level of socketed Fire/Cold/Lightning/Chaos gems. This recipe has been replaced with a similar one that applies added fire/cold/lightning damage to spells and takes the rarity of the item into account to determine the mod's tier. There is currently no replacement for the Chaos recipe.

Hi, thanks for the build, I'm absolutely loving it so far.
I had some troubles in acts 4-5 but that's because I was underleveled I think.

This build seems so OP for the new TD mechanics, I'm farming act 9 aqueduct currently and I don't even need towers to finish the encounter, the damage is insane even with 4L. High-tier maps encounters will be much harder probably but we'll see.

I'm with Tarke on this one - http://poeurl.com/cySd

Did not pick chain reaction, because you'll have shitload of trap trigger aoe, removes the need for chain reaction, as always.
