What should I focus my funds towards?

+3 bow

Second Andvarius.

Thanks! Do you feel its better to get a 5L 6S to prep for 6L later for the +3, just get the 6L, or just +3 the 5L I'm using now?

I don't have lvl 8 cata, so that's going to be a little while as I level her up.

Reroll that 5L to +2 if it's ilvl 64.

If not, get an ilvl 64 5L, roll it +2.

After that it's kind of your call. I typically find the fusing cost is around 800, but if you don't want to risk RNG and go over 1500 (which is roughly 11ex), then you can just buy a 6L +3 for around 6-7ex.

Given that fuses are 130:1 or so, and your expectation on a gamble 6L should be around 900 fuses, and 6ex = 780 fuses... I'd just buy the 6L +3.

As it is hard to find a 6L bow with movement speed, is it better to buy a 6L without or buy a cheap bow with speed movement and try to 6L it?

Thanks,

It's more important to have the +3 than the maraketh base. When you're ready to craft your own dual res bow, that's when you go for maraketh. You'll always be able to sell your old bow and recover the cost

That's exactly the case here. I have my masters at max (Leo 3), so I believe I can do the crafting. So not sure if I should take my chances with RNG love or go risk-free with less convenient weapon.

I am a bit confused, I am currently doing this build as Shadow. Do you recommend going IR or not? If not can you link a non IR tree to go after.

Sorry for all of the questions. Another random one. I was reviewing your gear. Do you ignore chaos res? I don't see it on any of your gear except +15 on ammy.

How is this better than windripper MF build?
Thx

That becomes your call. If you can find, and are patient enough, to wait for a 6L white, blue or crap rare Maraketh to show up, that's the safe play. I always opt to find a Maraketh myself, 6S, 6L, then craft it.

Yes, IR for Shadow. Acro is inefficient going with Shadow.

I'll edit the OP to make that more clear.

No need to apologize.

That amulet is just coincidental chaos res. I don't care about it, at all.

I have not investigated Windripper builds, so I can't answer this fully but my gut response is that Windripper relies on proccing the status ailments for the additional MF, which is probably difficult to sustain and rely on for boss kills.

Other than that, no idea. Sorry.

If you want to link me a specific build, I can answer this more in depth.
