Yeah forgot the pen prefix too.
Don't think crit would outperform the Full Life suffix though, but it's just theoretical anyway.

Not sure if i'll even roll another of these this league but having fun trying to craft a bow occasionally. The Shaper's mod is as elusive as ever, it's got to have a super low weighting.


According to poe.db, its slightly less rare than a Tyrannical roll

I'm interested in trying this build but every one is way over pricing their bows (10-20+ ex 0L bows + wrong base or nocrit ) I guess I will have to try my hand at crafting one using fossils to.


Check the "gear advice" section.
You can run this build with any bow skill pretty much (that scales direct hits), and with many bows. A shaped bow is theoretically optimal, but also by far the most expensive option if well-rolled. You should look at the bow last and consider other options to start.

Hi m8, nice build! Im using 2x Taming atm. Do you think i will get better rare rings similar to yours for under 2 ex each? I looked around a bit, but they seem incredibly expensive. Also do you think its worth to swap out ele focus for added cold, to be able to proc taming inc damage with scourge arrow?
Btw your PoB link is still the old one.
Cheers
Is there a reason why you use Scourge Arrow as a single target dps now? How comparable is it to Barrage in terms of damage and utility?

I LOVE SCOURGE ARROW

it has it's strengths and weaknesses. Weakness obviously being the charge up time. But with delve and so many tanky mobs down there, it's nice to have a hard hitting backup clear skill. I like scourge arrow for the fact it hits so hard and you can put in damage while running around. Since pods are delayed it gives you some setup time for things like essence and boxes. You can also lay down pods under bosses and move close to proc Point Blank, then run away. Unlike barrage having to say in close range for some time to put in dmg. Also I like not having to go for all the +1 stuff for barrage and the knockback from kick of the hill is less annoying with scourge. Also, I haven't been able to test but I think scourge > barrage for dps at the moment

I see, I will try to use it today with the helm enchant and see how it goes. Hopefully the buff to Scourge Arrow won't have any downsides. :p

Disapprove this build, dps number is not realistic :)


depending on your situation it's realistic... for 2/3 seconds :p

Playing it in delve, not the best bow build i had tested but pretty enjoyable, and can be played with every bow skill, a good selling pts for me.

Warning : it's pretty crap with low gear and skyrocket well with good gear.
( i'm still at the bottom of the skyrocket curve but PoB testing are pretty insane with good gear )

This is the case with most builds. Pretty much all builds that exceed the average 2-3 mil Shaper dps are doing so under certain pricy conditions. Not sure what people are expecting otherwise.

Disagree on it being "crap with low gear", getting high dex gear is easy and scales very well into endgame, this build can easily farm red maps without any kind of heavy investment. Of course it depends on how comfortable you are with bows and your custom setup.

Scaling this build well for endgame bosses requires both currency and the ability to check your own setup and adjust in PoB. That, again, goes for most builds however, there is a natural barrier to overcome there (which is why we don't get Starforge and Watcher's Eye for 5c in week 1 of a league).
Leveling this build right now. Following the passives. However for leveling Im using quilrain tabula toxic rain.Act 1 to 10 is a absolute breeze. Also at lvl 30 using thiefs torment. Even with No poison scaling toxic rain demolishes regular leveling content. Looks like toxic rain is the sunder for leveling bows. Going to transition into the build further. have the quiver and have currency for a Windripper.


Also noticed on delve hyrri demise with +arrows corruption is not being sold. Is it that rare?
