Barrage Wonder Wanderer – how to DEMOLISH maps (1.3.X)

physical mitigation isn't gonna save you from bosses. all the most dangerous ones deal elemental (piety, dom, shock and horror, fire dog, weaver's chaos, the lit thorns boss, dom's blackguard trio, that asshole from orchard, museum trio, caliga, etc). kole is the scariest of the phys bosses, but he's easy to dodge. phys mitigation is only for trash mobs, and IR+grace with decent eva/ar gear is more than enough for that. it's why my build drops purity and BM clarity entirely, so I can counter bosses with the proper purity of x when needed

other notable phys bosses...the library guy's tornados are degen, so that'll ignore phys mitigation anyways. the fish in labyrinth, only uses EK from range, and it's a coc style EK like ours, so cwdt IC will do a good job stopping that anyways, and if you stay in his face, he'll just do his regular attack which hits like a kitten. puncture archer dude...press your antibleed, and then he's fodder. perpetus is annoying cuz it's hard to see the bear traps in the chaos of battle, but if you just keep moving to a different spot, and be ready with leap slam on weapon switch to get out of the way if you do get caught, he doesn't really chase very aggressively, and his EK is short ranged

there's vaal and his random rocks I guess. so lit coil would be nice there...but that's about it

I cannot think of a single dangerous phys damage exile. igna phoenix is the most dangerous, and she's all fire. the desync charge viper strike ones are chaos, the LA one is lightning, and I can't really think of another exile that I've ever seen actually kill anyone



skel army being wiped is why I'm stubborn and still prefer an old school high mana cost skel totem to the low mana cost coc skel setup, though with your 5l voll's the coc skels should work perfectly fine by swapping cold snap out with skels on your main barrage


life nodes are only important up until a point. 250 increased from tree is already excellent. 300+ is melee facetank territory. getting high hp is achieved by stacking 90+ life on all your gear pieces and trying to take str nodes over others from the tree whenever you can for even more base life. the latter's not really an option for us

I really can't comment much on 77+, but 3.4k hp has been fine up to 76, and I pretty much always sign up for the most rippest of map mods, cuz I find them the funnest. ...and they're also free. just remember each seething you carry is like artificially extending your hp pool by 1.2k, as long as you don't die in one hit and have the reflexes for it. I only carry one, and it sees me through most fights

not caliga though. he just dodges barrage way too well. for him I just do what damage I can then back off when I'm low on pot charges and hopefully the others can finish the job, or they'll wipe and I can leave the room and reload flasks on stragglers around the map then come back for more

and weaver needs fire aoe damage and high chaos resist. which I don't have, so I'm always ready to tp out when everyone else inevitably wipes in seconds when I do her, cuz even with our damage output...we cannot control adds with 6 player hp by ourselves

I feel theres still parts of this build that are not updated, like what end game gear / set up should be.


Sighhh was really loooking forward to starting a barrager.


Anyone know a barrage coc guide similar to this but with more progress and development for endgame?

my variant's spent 6 chaos and does ~30k dps in a 5l, and still has room to improve. I think it's fine for endgame leagues, just stack more multi and spell damage as your defense allows. damage was still solid in 6 man 75s

endgame standard is obviously something entirely different. anything that isn't 6 digit dps is pretty much complete trash...and is impossible to achieve without legacy + mirrored crafted gear that people spent years making

yeah, right now im running in like 70-71 maps with full party and can kill things in a few hits, but i am using rat's nest + voll's ..... will definately want to use maligaros once i switch out of voll's.

Voll's is actually really great but it just lacks two major components for me, and that is the amount we invest in mana + survivability without summon skeletons.

Eveytime i play i would get around 5-6 minor heart attacks but i can kite well enough to escape. Also I have to invest 3-4 extra nodes just for mana and mana regen due to the half of mana thing. my mana pool is 19 right now with a bunch of mana nodes + lvl 18 reduced mana :(

I can cast barrage fairly well, but if i keep using it i end up just not casting much at all... and with all the projectiles and fire flying around in a party i think im attacking but not really and i die LOL. especially with summoners (superlag)


IF we can get life above 5K and mana above 30+ i would be SOOO HAPPY WITH VOLLS.

How was ur survivability when you ran dominations with your 5L? Did u have to kite around or were u just tanking things no problem?

This is a fairly new build so maybe not a lot of ppl have used it for end game (as of 1.1.1 update at least) :(


just want to know which chest would be optimal because i do not have the currency to experiment all the 6L chests although i wish i could! LOL would make my day just running around in 6L killing shit :P


^ anyways i was thinking either a 6L belly of the beast or 6L high ev or ar chest with life and resistences, where we can switch in maligaros :D



EDIT: thought about chain + power crit gem .... since we are hitting a lot with chain wouldn't we get power charges just as well as voll's ?
