[2.0] Rathik's Shotgunless Barrage COC. New build. Much stronger now. Boss killer.

"
Welcome to my new revised Barrage COC build.
The build is best using Scion but Templar, Witch and Shadow can do it. Will be a bit harder to itemize, especially your wand. You will gain some damage but you will loose 13% all resists, 19% increased maximum life, 25 strength and probably a jewel slot.
The build was not designed for HC leagues but it does have the defenses to be viable, at least on paper.

Whats changed
Spoiler

Its now hybrid life/es.

Build maintains its map clearing speed. It even feels faster now.

Build now has way more effective life pool. At least 1k more and with right gear I see it getting close to 6k effective life pool with Elreon's enchants.

Can easily cap all elemental and chaos resistances 83/83/83/79. 84/84/84/80 with legacy Saffell's Frame. An amethyst flask will be needed when using Kaom's boots and Voll's amulet depending on your rings/belt. With an additional Vertex vaal Mask RRBG and a level 2 empower you can have 2 level 23 auras for an additional +1% max resistance. Very helpful versus Atziri. Obviously your gear should compensate for the lack of resistance from the aura you removed.

No longer requires Elreon's jewelery. This means more damage and more defenses from an item.

Build uses on swap Voll's Devotion amulet, Cold Snap and Immortal Call to become physical immune vs bosses. With 5 endurance charges Immortal Call has 100% uptime as long as you are attacking something.
Bosses like Malachai, Dominus, Malformation Piety, etc become trivial. I predict a nerf on Immortal Call now, most likely they will turn it into a warcry.
Voll's Amulet is strictly optional, you can still play the build with out but obviously you won't have 100% physical immunity vs bosses.

Uses Elemental Equilibrium instead of heralds.

Arctic Armour replaced with 2 extra endurance charges. With 5 charges up and a Surgeon's granite flask of Iron skin you should have 70% physical damage reduction.

Build can "leech" ES with the use of ES on hit jewels. Around 250 ES per second assuming all projectiles from barrage hit.

Can use Kaom's Roots boots for fights that stun lock is an issue.

Pros
Spoiler
Excellent map clearing speed.
Extremely versatile and adaptable.
Very durable, easily getting 5k health pool, 83/83/83/79 resistances.
Elemental reflect is not an issue.
Never runs out of Flask charges.
Can easily maintain 96/96/96 elemental resists and 70%+ physical reduction with flasks and endurance charges when clearing trash.
Can cheaply push 2 auras to level 23.
Can easily handle pretty much every boss in the game with Voll's amulet.
Can be run on a budget (obviously with some limitations).
Can start playing the build at level 38.
Can do very hard maps, no mana regen, blood magic and no leech also.
Only combo I can think of that is probably not doable is
"
Monsters reflect x% of Elemental Damage
Cannot Leech Life from Monsters
Cannot Leech Mana from Monsters
-x% maximum Player Resistances
Players have Blood Magic


Cons
Spoiler
Requires Voll's amulet to be 100% physical immune(Not a requirement to play the build).
Barrage is hard to aim.
Elemental Equilibrium gets messed up when in group with damage auras.
Some PCs can't handle the graphic lag from COC

Scion level 100 (can also drop some life for an extra jewel slot)

Budget Section

"
Use the same skill tree as the main build.

"
Make heavy use of flasks. Flasks are a priority.

For auras use Purity of Elements as core to cap resistances.
If you have a level 3 enlighten you can add another purity and Arctic Armour.

The Vertex Vaal Mask should be on your priority upgrade list so you can run 3 purities with a level 3 enlighten. Aim for 30 chaos resistance.

You can use heralds while leveling and stop using them as soon as you get Elemental Equilibrium.

Use Assassin's Mark for trash and Power charge on Critical for single target to generate power charges.

CWTD + Warlord's Mark (when using PCOC)

Added a small video with the new skill setup.
I lost my 20/20 ice nova via corruption so I am stack using a low level one that why damage is so low.

Try to imagine this with righteous fire on. Still need some levels to get all needed skill points.

Viable atziri farm?
Hi, what bandits rewards did you take?

PS. Also, why the change from Artic Breath to Ice Nova?

Regards.

Yes, not on low levels though. You need to get enough life nodes.

Added bandits in first post and other information.

I find Ice Nova better in utility and damage. It can also kill monsters behind you. You can still use AB if you like. It was very good while leveling along with fireball because of there range but now they fall back a lot because of no shotgun mechanics.
