Lycosidae? Accuracy on gear? We're talking Champion, the main reason to take him besides fortify is 'Enemies taunted by you cannot evade attacks.

Thanks for the guide, it looks really interesting!
Ive followed it, quite well i think, but i seem to struggle on boss damage with Barrage. I know that the gems lvl isnt that high yet, but I seem to struggle with t1 and t2 boss' aswell, I cant really figure out what ive done wrong, anyone that could have a look at my gear?

My profile is open to public.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hey, glad that you enjoy the build (to some extent at least ;))!

I think you could immediately improve your boss-killing ability by swapping out some of your flasks. A properly rolled Diamond flask costs nearly nothing, can be used (up to) three times, and will increase your DPS by around 30%. Dying Sun is similarly good (slightly more than 30% DPS increase, but can only be used twice), but significantly more expensive. If you can afford it, it's more than worth its money. Finally, a Silver Flask also costs nearly nothing, increases your DPS by around 10%, and is great for mapping due to the increased movement speed.

So my first suggestion is to improve your flasks. You need:
-Divine Life Flask of Staunching (preferably with the Bubbling prefix)
-Chemist's (or Ample) Diamond Flask of Reflexes/Heat
-Chemist's Silver Flask of Heat/Reflexes
-Chemist's Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline
-Dying Sun (or Atziri's Promise with top elemental roll as a budget alternative)

Second, I would recommend you to gain some more levels and pick up all jewel slots on the tree that are only 2 points away from the main path. The build really comes to live with some good Abyssal jewels with flat lightning damage and flat life. You should also aim to finish Uber Lab and obtain the last 2 Ascendany points... then you can drop Lycosidae for a decent rare shield.

Third, improve your jewellery (craft something decent on your Diamond ring as a first step!). Also get a nice Stygian Vise (belt) with 80+ life, some resistances, and increased elemental damage with attack skills (reduced flask charges used is a great bonus if available).

Fourth, get the the boot enchant with 1 to 160 lightning damage if you haven't killed recently.

Fifth, swap out Thunderfist for Tombfist with 2 Abyssal sockets (not sure whether this is realistic in league). Make sure to use one Murderous Eye jewel to intimidate enemies (gives 10% increased damage taken by enemies).

Sixth, get Devoto's Devotion with +1 Barrage projectile (or with 40% increased Barrage damage as a cheaper alternative).

One final observation: Enfeeble cannot be triggered currently with your Cast When Damage Taken (CWDT) setup, as its level is too high. With your level 9 CWDT, Enfeeble may at most require level 54 (see the description of CWDT).

That should keep you busy for a while. By the way, what's your current tooltip DPS with Barrage? With my level 97 character, I have over 80k without flasks in hideout. 40k should definitely be possible for you even on a modest budget. And with 40k damage and some mechanical skill, you can even kill Guardians and Shaper.

Is there any way to leech life or did i miss it completely? (or do you only take vaal pact?)
Fun build, indeed way tankier than ranger (my experience with it was dying at every monsters'sneeze).
