Grats! Me likey.

I'm assuming this is still a viable build in 2.4 or no? I wanted to get started with a budget MF build and have no idea of what to pick.

I picked this build to start the Essence league with. I think it's very viable as an MF build. It does require attention and encourages an active play style. If leaning back with a bag of Doritos while your totems MF for you is more your style, look somewhere else. I played bow builds during the previous three leagues, so the play style felt natural to me.

This build does take a while to get going. It's easier now, since it's easier to buy leveling gear now. I leveled with shrapnel shot, then LMP lightning arrow and finally GMP tornado shot until my CA got gud. Leveling as a caster should be possible as well, but I didn't feel comfortable doing that.

For me the build started going at lvl 70-ish, having a +2 5-link bow and lvl 17 caustic arrow (CA > void manip. > conc. effect > inc. aoe > pierce). The next big jump in power happened after whacking normal and cruel Izaro for the deadeye ascendancy (replacing inc. aoe with slower projectiles).

Estimated startup cost: around 5-7 chaos for a +2 5-link and a few chaos for basic resist/mf/leveling gear. For leveling without leveling gear, use essences often if you're playing in the league.

Yep.

The moment this build isn't viable is the moment I re-title it "SHIT BUILD NOW CYA LATER."

Can I ask Why You think that?

PS: What is now the most powerfull build?

@Slimak - Serleth was responding to this comment, "I'm assuming this is still a viable build in 2.4 or no?" And his answer was yes, it is still viable, and for that matter really good. The second part was humor, if it is no longer a good build he will change the thread title, cut and run. Not unlike the sad death of Elemental Proliferation. Rest in peace four screens of ignite for all the drops...
