Dual bow weapon swap "build" (most Tanky DPS)

I've respecced into 6 endurance charges, and dropped the frenzy (blood rage). just for testing.

My thought process is: since I don't die to white mobs and only bosses are the problem, and if I'm in a party we don't kill him fast enough, what ends up happening is i lose my blood rage buff and just fight the boss without frenzy. with endurance charge I'll benefit more from fighting map bosses.

this is amazing, have a look:

I nearly shat my pants but then realized thats softcore..
What is your LA dps?

Verny nice gear it seems to me, I run nearly the exat build, lvl 75, but with BM passive until I got 2 6l...
leap > double weapon swap

single target dps is not nearly as important as you think it is


im almost level 95, i map like all the time with the top 7 group on default and really isnt that important

i tried this same setup before and the single target dps is great but really not that much of a big deal

i have like 20k frenzy single target with 4 link and i can solo vaal like its nothing (unless 75 fire res mod then it takes a little longer)

i had some fun, but with time i found that pressing switch all the time is not only annoying, but often you can just lag or desynch and find yourself in a fuzzy situation. (no matter what you say your internet is amazing etc, mine is too and it happens quite often)

plus i could not stand not using beak + leap on swap. its by far more fun and effective in terms of mobility

Disagree, I come from old school MMOs where switching weaps was appreciated, therefore I find abit of skill in it knowing how to switch correctly to combat lag switch etc, also as i showcased in my videos, this build is good for everything, if you dont have single target you are depending on party play and can't do solo maps.

my build focuses on being super tanky, super buffed, reflect immune, boss immune, I see many flows in not having single target, why do i need leap slam? its only good for lootz at this point lol

hopefully you are not talking about diablo 2 ''WSG'' (weapon switch glitch) used to reset thye FHR (fast hit recovery) animation.

That required absolutely no skill, and I specially know about since all i did was play bowzons and was actually ranked #1 in the ZvZ community ladder for some time.

There is absolutely no skill around weapon switch in path of exile. dont try to make an idea that many people already had sound new and cool and simply its not. And like i mentioned before. For anyone that can afford this type of setup, killing bosses should absolutely not be an issue. Aoe dps is by far the priority and utterly most important aspect. Please name some old school ''MMO'' games that appreciated weapon switch.
Like i said im 4 linked frenzy and i have 18-20k dps depending on my jewelery setup. Its way more than HvR has and i can easily solo Piety shrine (77 map) with 6 player HP alone.

Your build is not any different than pretty much all cookie cutter builds with the exception of some extra endurance charges. There is no such thing as reflect immune. If you do good dps you fuck yourself up with reflect no matter what. even at 85% resists. Unless you use both life leech and life on hit. Single target reflect is a non issue anyway.

Also if you dont appreciate leap slam I have nothing else to add. As that alone shows how far your knowledge of Fast game play and being as effective as possible. Its not important for LOOT AT ALL. Thats completely not even close to the reason I enjoy it so much.
Hi. I'm new player in this game only 44lvl atm and i'm playing with with your build.
Very nice guide i like it. But can u show all of your gear like boots and gloves? And why u are using 2x 6l bows? And please write full names of your skill gems becouse i dont understand names like BR or BM.And what u can advise for me, how to play with this guide at lvl 44? thx.

I laugh at those statements.

By reflect immune I mean I'm not doing crazy dps and I can afford to fire few shots at thorns / reflect mobs.

Also, you prefer leap slam which forces you to 4L single target which forces you to give up buffs, you realize how stupid this makes you? You think just by being high level it means you're doing everything correctly?

This is why this game is so hard for some people on HC, you just can't go full out DPS, sure the devs permit that but they implement reflect damage which forces players to use mediocre damage.

Faster gameplay with leap slam? have you even seen my videos, I doubt you play faster.

LOL your bad bro

wanna compare characters? please lets do it

stupid? bro like i said ur build is the common cookie cutter with like extra endurance charges. What are you even talking about lol.....

I can spam LA on reflect + -25 max res maps.

I use Life leech + Life on hit gem on my LA and i still have 5k+ LA with my party buffs. (hatred / haste)

Id never bother running those auras + blood magic gem is far inferior + the casters run that anyway and i get to benefit from it withotu any drawbacks. If you play alone you should be able to solo anything with 2k Lightin arrow dps witch is very low. But its more than enough to solo a 77 map with hard mods if you are solo.

No one said go full on DPS.

my build has 80 all res 9k life + LOH + LL. I dont die.

If reflect forces you do do mediocre damage you are doing it wrong.

My game play experience does not make me better, but it sure as hell did give me ashit ton of knowledge and test time for many types of build I had in mind. So now i know exactly what is the most effective.
