Kamikaze Clones : LL Mirror Arrow Instability Proliferation

It's kinda unfair for such a clever build. I was lucky to try it out right from lv 24 in Bloodlines (yeah, without IOAE it sucks for mobs but still obliterate most bosses).

Here's how dead the build actually is.

I'll post a less shitty video soon.

Look still good, but only as good as my 4L in Silverbranch pre-nerf :(. Could you do an Atziri run to see the damage without burn?

Well it seems like they nerfed it in line with their philosophy of "OP only with good gear".

I spent all my currency to respec and try this and was gutted when I saw the patch. But with 5L, lvl 17 gems and around 5ex worth of gear (Yeah I'm poor!), it does ok, just not super fun anymore though.

I imagine that once I get GG gear it might go back to being fun again, but right now it's fairly slow and nowhere near as enjoyable.

Least I can work towards something ;)

Only thing "good" on this build was solo Magic Finding in high maps because of good DPS. That's it. For leveling it was way too squishy even with Shavronne's.

Yeah, it's a helluva glass cannon build when leveling in bloodlines. I must micro manage my zombie to scout danger and always on the move to avoid RIP xD

I just do for the lolz, really, leveling with a hybrid/life build before switching is best for hardcore.

Just did an Atziri run to see if still possible. Made it, but it was incredibly sketchy. Almost didn't get past the trio - I left the Cycloner last which is a big no-no ; it would have gone okay-ish without that mistake I think.
I went full retard damage setup on Atziri (6L MA trap in a +3 bow with empower lvl4) and she still took way longer than on a 4L quill rain pre patch...

Well we expected this nerf, but not so soon... It was a bit broken, but not enough to justify immediate action. Maybe they learned from the past (like cast on death miscreations) and decided to act immediatly this time.
But seeing the damages remaining after removing 4/5 of it make me wonder if it would have been stronger than vaal discharge at level 28... Too bad its too late for me to verify.

I tried this build on my Summoner-Witch Lvl 86. I need to respec some points but generally it works already. It's like an insane glass-cannon. And right now it is unplayable for me. If you don't have always your zombies around, you'll get raped. Your biggest handicap is attack speed and skill cool-down. I even tried to use Blink Arrow too, it works almost the same if you shoot it in your legs. It's like a melee build, but whiteout life pots and leech.

Everyone who thinks it needs a nerf he is thinking wrong. In my first run to Piety i died probably 10 times with Shavronne's @5k ES.

With what you had you should not have died that much. As Pepprmint said, you need stun immunity to come close to mobs, and moving fast help a lot. If you have a shavronne you should easily be able to use three quicksilver and be permanently under its effect. I have been doing all my most dangerous maps with this build just fine, and really there are just two things that I find annoying with this build: the lack of cwdt immortal call and the impossibility resplainish es another way than natural regen wich make somes situations a bit tricky.
I have also been playing with mirror/blink together for a while and really with a quill rain the gameplay is fast and nothing has (or had? I have not yet tested the post nerf damages) the time to become a threat for you.
And also blink arrow is a mean of escaping/moving faster while killing mobs that are around you. You should come close to a pack (if possible non ranged, or with chilled ground and temp chain) then just before coming in contact with them blinking behind them.

His build is probably still good, just less ridiculous. We are keen to get this fix out before the weekend, and even more people respec to it.

I hope he actually meant that they will fix a bit more if we show that the build is no longer "good" xD

It's not a "nerf", it's a completely disaster. Because with "normal" gear (not 6l +7 Bow Gem) you can't do even Docks. I think they needed it to do so, because other Skills like Burning Arrow or Explosive Arrow became even bigger garbage.
