[3.11] Aquarism's Ice Shot [All Content]
" People in this thread are reporting good results and are generally pleased with Raider, so I don't think changing ascendancy would yield a satisfactory result for you. Your helm and quiver are not a problem per se - they're excellent pieces of gear but I don't think they are any good for your current gear level, they become amazing with dex stacking which I believe requires some pretty brutal gear. What you see people wearing on poe.ninja on characters that have been lvl100 since week 2 of the league and have had a full set of awakened gems since week 1 is not really applicable to (compared to them) casual players like you and me. Long story short - I think you would benefit from getting additional arrows for your ST - both on a helm enchant and on a quiver, you also need to get Dying Sun ASAP. And -9 to all resistances on your helm too - you really do want that it's an amazing DPS gain in my experience. I do think for now you will see the best results by getting your arrow number up since barrage scales with arrow number/attack speed best and you should have sufficient attack speed for now with your ascendancy of attack speed per frenzy charge before thinking of getting it in jewels/gloves. Also, look into replacing your taming with a Mark of the Elder since you're most likely not shocking bosses (at least, not enough to get even close to the 50% damage received by them up) - but be aware that that will start a cascading effect on the rest of your gear where you'll need to make up for the 100ish total resist on other pieces of your gear.

Seems like i will spent this evening not on mapping, but on PoB, checking different combinations (changing to deadeye, some gear swaps which can be afford with my budget, maybe some gem changes). Is there a certian discord server, where i would be able to find such experts in the evening? :) as i don't want to creat spam/ single person discusion for few pages.
One very important question for the "barrage community" - did anyone checked, if with new "influence-merge" mechanics, we can have +2 arrows on quiver (mixing shaper and warlord influenced using awakener orb)? This would create some creazy boosts, if rest of the stats would be even semi-strong. I could check it, but it would use about half of my current funds to afford 2x influenced quivers with proper prefeixes and no other influenced suffixes plus the orb itself. |

" Hmm, I'm not really sure since I'm still too fresh to have properly considered researching crafting - will try to do some crafting till end of league just to prep for crafting in the next one. That being said, I haven't actually seen a quiver with 2x bow attacks add an additional arrow or bow attacks add 2 additional arrows - but I have seen some corrupted ones that get the bow attacks add an additional arrow as an implicit. |

" Thanks for finding the missing option and suggesting further upgrades. It is really awesome how you are answering all these questions! And this probably also answers why I feel weak against the beefier bosses. Shock aside, I am probably not even chilling them reliably. Even with ice shot. I will do some experiments, maybe get aquamarine flask for dropping chilling ground and see how it goes. Otherwise I might swap hypothermia for something else, but it feels like a waste.

Today i finished Level 100 on this Build, it was quite a challenge! I tested alot but can say DPS was the best defense, some tactics and skip certain map bosses was the key, did every Meta and Elderslayers while on 99. The Trick on doing every Meta (any Barrage) was just place the Totem next to him, run 1 Circle around him, let the Totem aggro him and Burst him down till he spawns the first wave, run away, get Headhunter Stacks and Burst him down again Melee. Same on Elderslayers, kill the Boss, Kill the Meta (get HH stacks), run to the Slayer and Burst him down before he can even start a single attack.

Hey, thanks first of all. Really nice guide!
How would awakened fork affect clearspeed, would it increase or does it hamper it due to the chain/fork interactions. Couldnt find anything in other threads. Also, im lacking a bit of Singletarget DPS. Any suggestions for changes to my build? :) https://pastebin.com/GjGai2z9 (might be a mess) Edit: pastebin link should work now Last edited by bartigerhans#3434 on Jan 29, 2020, 3:11:34 PM

Get a better Amulette and Rings. Get Aspect of the Spider as example, get a Watchers Eye with Crit Ele Pen or Added Cold Dmg

" Thanks for this advice. I will get a watcherseye with added cold dmg, as i dont have that much money at the moment. Could you tell me into wich jewel socket i should socket it? I cant decide wich other jewel to unslot for it. Thanks in advance :) |

Hey everyone,
this is my current build: https://pastebin.com/tv247mYU There's still a lot of room for improvement (jewels,getting rid of multimod suffix etc.) but my biggest problem right now is not dying. As much as I try to play safe, I keep getting oneshotted by bosses far too often. I'm sitting on 4825 HP and 129 ES, so 4950 eHP with Coldres capped, Fire on 72% and Lightning on 68%. Capping Fire and Lightning should be easy with catalysts on the Stygian Vise, but I doubt that is the reason why I die so often. Getting oneshotted by one of Kitavas mobs in during the last fight on a map doesn't seem normal to me. Am I missing something, or am I just too bad for this build? I'll also link my gear in case people don't wanna paste the POB Link:

" This Build is not easy to play as Deadeye, get more HP, atleast 5k, use Vaal Grace. Cap your Resistances! Playstyle wise, Shoot before you move, you kill all mobs,loot -> Shoot -> move repeat! So you will not die without HH in the first place. When we hit Map Boss, their are certain Boss Monster you dont want to face at all. As Example Carcass, Reef. All others you just place your Totem, use Vaal Grace and burst him down, as we play Evasion, you have to Dodge and run arround :) Also you dont want to run Crit Multi or Elemental Resistance Maps :) Last edited by _TheQue_#5330 on Jan 29, 2020, 4:05:46 PM
