[3.11] Aquarism's Ice Shot [All Content]
Good build, I used this as a baseline and made some changes.
If you have the budget for good rare jewels, running 2 large clusters makes a lot of sense. In particular, swapping out the Soul Raker nodes for an 8-passive large cluster gives more damage and two rare jewels worth of extra life which is huge (~14% extra life). I'm using an 8-passive 12% bow damage jewel with Feed the Fury, Fuel the Fight, and Smite the Weak (swap for Martial Prowess if not using tombfist for permanent maim uptime). For the same 7 points as Soul Raker I get 114% increased damage + 23% attack speed + 2 jewel slots + life and mana leech. The only thing lost is the blind, and I was able to pick that up on an abyss jewel - it seems like a no-brainer as long as you have decent jewels to fill the two extra jewel slots. I gained a total of ~10% DPS and ~400 life compared to taking the soul raker nodes with no real downside. I can't really see any reason to take Soul Raker now that cluster jewels exist, the large cluster costs ~60c and significantly outperforms Soul Raker even with <1 ex rare jewels socketed. For the 2nd large cluster I'm only allocating 5 passives on it (2 notables + 2 jewel slots), and its not as big of a gain, but still a good use of points with blanketed snow + prismatic heart. And of course the medium cluster socketed for chill > shock conversion and free power charges. To get the extra points I socketed intuitive leap by survivalist which saves 2-3 passives, and removed the small cluster jewel. I'll need ~lvl 99 for all of my life nodes, but should still hit ~5.5k life even without fettle - the extra rare jewel slots makes up for the life from fettle at a lower passive point cost.

"oops , double post |

" Your characters are hidden so I can't look at your PoB. But if you're following this build, most of the damage on your Barrage is cold. You would be less likely to notice chill from Barrage because you are only using that on tough rares and bosses that likely have a much higher ailment threshold. So you might only be getting a 5% reduction for example. And anything less than 5% has no effect. Any mobs likely to get the full 30% slow from chill are being killed by barrage before you can notice. (Ice shot will do that too once you have enough damage.) |

" This comment should be in crafting section at first page. |

" Ya, following the bow crafting guide I dropped over 35x on crafting a rare bow that got shit on by an Arborix, would not recommend. I hit T1 Multi and T3 Wed on 2 arrows and basically wasted a mm on it. Reader beware. |

" I haven't Craft the bow myself. Haha. Still leveling my deadeye. Going thru this thread, saw some frustrating comments on lots of currency required to craft bow. As a noob player, I recommend all to aware how Much currency is required to Craft an excellent bow. It's like gambling LOL. |

I did mention crafting is usually not worth it in the notes section of the crafting section, it is now moved to the opening sentence to making this more clear.
I'm experimenting with clusters jewels yet again, got inspired by ShAd0w3d on page 199. Currently looking at a 4 passive curse medium cluster. Master of Fear enemies you curse are intimidated Wish of Death you have culling strike against cursed enemies. these combined should result in (1.1x1.1) 1.21, 21% more dmg. still in the testing phase, if it works out will update POB for this.

Changelong:
" New POB https://pastebin.com/CQ8utjqR Major changes: - Created High Budget version with a lot of t1 rolls. - Renamed league version to medium budget, levelling to low budget. - swapped out Aztiri's Promise for crit cinderswallow - Removed onslaught jewel - Added curse cluster - Removed lioneye's fall and the crit nodes. - Reworked Leveling tree to reflect the introduction of cluster. - Ticked "intimidate" in the config, total DPS should be increased by another 10% for culling strike. - Ascendency rework, endless munition swapped for fast and deadly The written portion of this guide is also updated, but its a wall of text, so I might have missed some outdated info, spelling mistakes etc. Do let me know if anything needs changing.
