I am currently leveling up my alt and going to be getting into mapping soon but the problem is I won't be able to afford a Reach just yet. It doesn't seem very clear in OP but would it better to use a Lioneye's glare or a Death's Opus as your weapon before getting Reach?

Also if it is Death Opus, is the +2 arrows good enough to not use GMP/LMP?

I suppose you don't have +1 drillneck, so 3 arrow for lightning arrow is not enough imo, you will have to use LMP.

Lioneye's glare is fine for map clear but not rly good for barrage (it have a rly nice attack speed btw) death's opus is much better.

Can't tell you about reach cause i never tryed it yet but it look rly good (no need of LMP and better attack speed than opus).

But yea ofc you will have to buy one of those bow (go for death's opus it's not expensive)

Prior to lv60, I was using Opus with LMP 4L, gameplay/damage was fine without other source of +1 arrow. After sometime I saw OP progression thread have no LMP, I tried it. Not much of diff imo, but can be optimised better with placing (when shooting less density monster, try line them up so it pierce and hit all, I can one hit whole pack like this.

Well still an amazing build.
But i tried minotaur and failed horrible.....i just had not enought dmg.
It was a corrupted map out of a t15 so probably kinda hard but still thought i would do better.
(he had some serious dmg mods but i cant remember any defence mods)

Maybe cause i had to run too much? I wasnt at full power charges at any time of the fight cause i was busy not insta dieing....Does it get easier if "better" mods?


Well just some min ago i did Phoenix for the first time too(again corrupted from a t15core) so i nearly failed it but got it with the last portal (god he had 1/4 life left when i had only one portal left, was a intense fight :D)

The biggest Problem probably was the phys reflect what made me use this belt with no phys dmg and steals some dps.
(368crit chance ,42multi , 18phys reflect,35 inc boss dmg and 30inc cast/attack speed and 30%reduced flask charges were the mods)


But killed him on the first try(didnt even watched vid before) so that speaks for the build.

Otherwise i still dont get what was wrong with the minotaur fight....i did like 0 dmg.




Now my equip...what to do next?
Probably jewelery? What should i look for if i have lets say around 1ex for each ring and amulett?


Overall did a lot new with that build what i didnt do with other builds cause i always lost the fun before or they were to slow to get there.
First char 90 , first full key uber,first phoenix,first core clear etc.
Thx again for that amazing build :)

Can someone give me a little insight into maybe what I'm missing re: crit chance? I'm comparing my tree to folks/OP and it's exactly the same. Character MyArrowsPoison

OP has no crit chance on his gear, yet are able to hit 70 something buffed. With max power charges I'm at something like ~45. The only thing I can think of is that I still don't have Deadly infusion, which would get me +2% crit chance. Am I just severely underestimating that addition to the build?

I started heading that way at first, but then thought that toxic delivery would be better to have before uber lab since I've been finding it hard to keep up power charges.

Any thoughts.

You're probably underestimating it. It gives base crit chance, which is then multiplied through your increased crit chance stats. It gives a ton of extra crit.

What do you guys think most efficient upgrade? barrage 6L or dying sun or +2 barrage devoto?
I'll post my gear just in case.

I just completed "deathless" unid T16 Minotaur on 5L gear (death's opus), using no decoy totem. I can post the video if anyone cares. Wither totem works almost the same a decoy totem.

great job ! I definetely would want to watch a video, just out of curiousity how other people are playing my build - also worth watching for others as a comparison/check too. So please post it :)


guys please check again the FAQ section before asking questions, I've updated the guide a bit to cover the most asked questions here.


so again:

1. opus gem setup:
try to use the same as for reach (no LMP or GMP but slowerproj) - if you really dont like playing with only 3 arrows, try using LMP then. do what feels better to you

2. reach vs opus:
I think reach is still better - while single target may be similar for those bows, reach has higher base attackspeed, which makes me feel ALOT better and faster, and the 2 extra arrows are great for lightning arrow clearspeed. I really believe its worth upgrading from opus to reach after getting a 6L chest and before you get dying sun or +2devoto.

3. what should i buy next:
check my gear progression thread and copy what i've done. I've also posted more infos in the gearing part of the guide. In general dont hesitate too much, since the build is so popular right now you will have no trouble reselling pieces of gear that you didnt like.


Thank you for all the great feedback so far and enjoy the game :)

how do you get by without a mana potion?
i dont see you with one in breach :/

that leech is enough once youre in maps. During leveling its good to carry a mana pot

ya i just put those on.. 2 nodes made a huge dif lol

right now im doing blood rage for clearing then frenzy for bosses without trash. not sure if its a bad idea
