I don't have much knowledge of the different uniques. They may not add up to shadows and dust though, atleast not in fun.

How do you get lifesteal with this build?	Posted by Jimmiq#3508 on Mar 22, 2016, 9:43:46 AM Quote this Post
" What the issue is here is that a lot of people fell for the promise the reflect is not a problem. Feelsbadman... Should have gone for this BV char :( I have no idea why you are having issues with reflect. If you are making sure to use the CWDT + IC setup, A basalt flask and a topaz flask then you should be good. Every time someone has issues with reflect, they always seem to lack one of these in their build. I also don't claim that there aren't any "issues" with reflect, just that they are manageable and that if you play responsibly then you should be fine. I played this build up and until level 87 and did tier 12+ maps with it. As long as I was careful around reflect is was never an issue. Oh or are we talking about reflect maps? In that case, yea - don't do those. I had hoped that was clear :) Weekly build guides: Youtube.com/LiftingNerdBro Daily live streams: Twitch.tv/LiftingNerdBro Friendly PoE community: Discord.gg/Lifting Last edited by LiftingNerdBro#1842 on Mar 22, 2016, 11:22:46 AM	Posted by LiftingNerdBro#1842 on Mar 22, 2016, 11:21:08 AM Quote this Post

Same goes with eleme reflect replacing Spark you are better off putting a second phys or elemental spell when you are doing that. slower projectiles is what 30% or something more damage? second skill is 100% more damage. and looks cooler/more consistent You are absolutely right just never bothered with it cause even with only spark or only EK the damage is there to clear a map.

Alright, nice build, but I have few questions/observation: -Why are you using a lightning coil? It's Str/Dex chest armor, meaning you will have an hard time getting the 4G/2B you need. I know it's a very good defensive armor, but you could get Hyrri's Ire which is also good defensively, and more suited for the links. -You can upgrade the frenzy link, adding a Power charge on critical. It may be difficult to get on the bow (3B/2G), but you may be ok with a vaal orb (I got a 2G/2B/1W quill rain). This way, you can get both frenzy and power charge against anything without killing requirement. You still get the GMP and the assassin's mark setup. -You are not using the unique jewel for Barrage? I may have missed something here.	Posted by Keyen#4575 on Mar 22, 2016, 4:54:58 PM Quote this Post
@liftingnerdbro I am trying this build and I am new to PoE so I typically try to look up some interesting/cool builds that I think are currently relevant and go off of them. However I am having trouble seeing the point of frenzy and the links with it. In your video I don't see frenzy being up like 90% of the time. Is there a better way to spend these links? Thanks.

I may have missed something here. 1. You optimally want to get the colors for your CoC setup on your Quill Rain. 2. Power charges are generated by just hitting a monster, it does not need to kill it in this case. There is no need for pcoc :) 3. I am using the unique jewel, but I might have forgotten to add it to the written guide. It is in the video though.

Since the damage is so high on this build I haven't found the frenzy charges to be necessary for general map clearing, they are however very nice against tankier bosses and tier 12+ maps. That said they are in no way necessary for the build and if you prefer you can use a different setup :) Weekly build guides: Youtube.com/LiftingNerdBro Daily live streams: Twitch.tv/LiftingNerdBro Friendly PoE community: Discord.gg/Lifting	Posted by LiftingNerdBro#1842 on Mar 22, 2016, 8:18:18 PM Quote this Post

Does the knockback means as long as u attacking and proc crits u are kinda imunne against melee hits? Also how do you get power charges against bosses? Assassin's mark only give charges on kill. Ha det bra.	Posted by Jimmiq#3508 on Mar 23, 2016, 3:56:23 AM Quote this Post
