[2.2] Wurpo's quill rain + cast on crit build (aka stress test build) [not scion anymore]

@wurps - i meant that i cant use coc till i reach lv 31, then the spells will go off like they are meant to - right now i have to use the skills manually. which ended up being a pain so i just stuck with barrage and rain of arrows - lightning arrow is waiting for me cause you mentioned to not level it up because it uses more mana as it levels.

correct me if i'm wrong?

@phalen78

What I mean is that the cast on crit gem's chance to work and your crit chance will be so low at that level that it would be better to just not use them at all, especially without a 6L

@Wurp - You said the best 5L for barrage is, barrage + CoC + GMP + artic breath + fireball, but why not stick with firestorm and coldsnap instead? Based on how much easier it is to get BBBGG on Voll's, I would think barrage + CoC + firestorm + coldsnap + conc affect would be best. Correct me if I'm way off.

Additionally, any worthwhile changes to passives that could be made for using barrage instead of frenzy?

And is there a list somewhere of which skills to leave at level 1 and which ones to level up all the way?

Thanks for all your help, and great build! Sold off everything I had just to give it a try.

GMP does not only improve the linked spells, but also Barrage by a lot. And Fireball and Arctic Breath are great, because they can shotgun enemies.

You can still use Frenzy to keep the stacks up.

You can check Wurps' gear linked in the guide to check which gems he leveled, and which not. Just check if you would benefit from leveling a gem, or if you could aim for the quality recipe without having trouble with increased mana costs (like with GMP).

What Wurpo advised - barrage+coc+gmp is extremly powerful, cause Barrage duration will be more or less the same, but with 4 additional arrows (8 overall). Insane how many crit procs you get! Even with not-GMP barrage on G-G-Bx4 I have in my Voll's. I managed to use frenzy to buff AoE and barrage and it is just amazing. I just need some practice to handle all keybord buttons during fight.
Here is some nice combo for "low mana cost frenzy" with knocback I use:

When I gather a bunch of chroms I will try to recolor Voll's to 3g3b, I hope I can get it without becoming old.

Well seems i will need a barrage's gem, btw wont be doedre's gloves a good choice on this config? i have almos 5 attack/sec and that speed seems fine to me and the % damage on spell sounds prety damm well

@HeyterVic
I wish my problem was recoloring my voll's, I can't even get someone to sell me a 6L voll's and I can't seem to link one myself :(

@Ciberyo
It's pretty hard getting max resists if you use too many uniques, but you can use it if you want.

@TimeBomb007
Just keep lightning arrow at 1, and maybe barrage.

Passive tree is fine as it is with the usage of barrage instead of frenzy

Yea I know that pain:/ I was looking for Quill Rain in the same way, everyday hunting for seller, who wish to sell it for normal price. Now I know I was really lucky. Six-linking by yourself might be super annoying and not worth the time and currency. I wish you will get your 6L Voll's Wurps, cause you deserve it like no one else.

@Ciberyo
As W said and what you will notice on difficult maps that your damage is not the problem but survivability - You just need lot of life and max res to not get one hitted. Some stum recovery and additional armor is helpful too. Grabbing those is a cheap but sensible solution, if you don't want to spend much on decent rares.

Hey I didn't see you post your APS yet. I was wondering why it was with the barrage speed reduction

seems like really useless information, but it's 4.29 with frenzy
