[1. 3] Hakuna Matata Quill-Rain Machine-Gun Party-Culler [402/108] [all maps/mods viable]

While reading this, please take into consideration that this guide isn't
supposed to be 100% serious, nevertheless it fits its purpose perfectly.

It is not meant to be a solo-magic finding build.
It's all about playing in a party, culling as many monsters as possible
and having fun.

It should be played in late stages of the game, leveling with this kind of
gear/setup is NOT recommended :P.

[I reskilled my very first char into a MF-char and this is the result]

The Gear of this build:

Must Have:



The bow the char is built around:
Fast attack speed, dps doesn't matter.
Cheap, effective.


Six links, not too expensive.
Survivability is granted via passive tree.

Nice to have:


Mf-basics. If you don't have the cash for it, switch to rare gold rings.


A Quiver with life, resistances.
U want to live.

Standard Mf_gear/Changeable according to your wishes



Belt exists in legacy formats too, but these 2% IIQ arent worth spending exalteds.
High rolled Aurseize, a nice roll IIR-Helmet and a pretty average Gold Amulet.


MY CURRENT GEAR




Using these or swapping in



depending on what im about to do :p
Since i have a corrupted Quill rain with culling strike now,
i can add GMP in my Tabula :)


The tree for this build:



Why?

a) Survivability
Ondar's, Acrobatics and Phase Acrobatics for Dodge/Eva Chance.
Many life nodes.
Resistance Nodes.
b) Positioning
Movement Speed nodes!
Unlike with Flametotems for example, u are quite fast with positioning
and targetting the right mobs.
c) Gear-requirements
Rest of nodes is just Dex/Int/Str, so we are able to wear our gear.


The Gems and links for this build:

6 L (Chest):

Barrage - Chain - Faster Attacks - Culling Strike - Rarity - Quantity

Barrage and chain grant us many hits on many targets. Combined with the pierce chance from
the passive tree, we rarely miss cullable mobs on maps.
(Can also be played with Split Shot, Tornado Shot or similar attacks. Just felt most comfortable with Barrage!)

4 L (Boots, Gloves Helmet):

i. Cast when damage taken - Enduring Cry - Immortal Call - Temporal Chains

A pretty basic defense setup with temp chains being kind of an exception.
Slowed enemies-> high ms-> survive.

ii. Reduced Mana - Haste - Clarity - Purity of Elements

Reistances for you that u miss from your MF-Gear.
Clarity for perma-attacking. Haste for movement- and attack speed.

iii. Cast on death - Culling Strike - Firestorm - Increased Duration/Item Rarity

More of a fun setup. In case you die, you still can deal aoe dmg and cull enemies eventually.
[Tho i rarely died with this build]

3 L (Bow):

Blink Arrow - Faster Attacks Decoy Totem

Decoy for flexibility and a movement spell for surviving/mobility.

*****
a different setup can be found under "my current gear".


The Flasks for this build:



Insta healing. Two removes-bleeding flasks are essential, since you attack
very fast with the Bow. Once MS-Flask to keep up with the pace in a party.

For Culling use Forbidden Taste before using Distillate so its effect will work.


More Information:


Life(es)/Mana: 4397(15)/729
