Poison Arrow Uber Capable
|
Just wanted to share my first build that I have been able to kill Uber Atziri with. It is fairly expensive fully geared, but for general mapping and regular Atziri you can do it on much more of a budget.
Bandits
Normal: Help Oak Cruel: Kill All Merciless: Kill All
Gear
Bow: You really need a +3 bow. Thicket is probably the best base. I got a hold of a +3 Decimation Bow that I master crafted Increased damage over time on, but its attack speed is so slow I prefer the thicket bow without the affix. Chest: Carcass Jack is the best for better damage and AOE. The damage increase will not show on your tooltip Quiver: Drillneck with the pierce gem and a few pierce nodes is a great boost to damage Boots: Atziri's Step for more spell dodge. These are really useful for the Atziri fight. Amulet: I use Atziri's Foible because I do not have enough mana regen. I think at this point in the build I could probably switch to a Paua Amulet with high mana regen and high life, but I haven't found anything I want to spend my currency on. Everything else is devoted to life, resists and strength.
Gems
For my PA I use Poison Arrow + Slower Projectiles + Pierce + Concentrated Effect + Empower For Uber you really want a level 21 PA and a level 4 Empower For Auras I use Grace and Clarity with Reduced Mana Curse is Vulnerability This leaves a ton of sockets free so for a little extra defense I also run Zombies. They don't really do much damage, and they die a lot, but they can be helpful to keep mobs off of me. All other gem slots go towards leveling other gems
Other Thoughts
This build is a lot of fun. It can run any map mods, although No Regen and Blood Magic can be a little tricky. For blood magic just watch your life, and for No Regen I just swap a couple of Mana Flasks into my setup. The changes coming in 2.0 look very promising. Slower projectiles is becoming a more multiplier, and if they keep the frenzy changes, I would add some extra frenzy charges to the build. |

ok this is really funny.
so im in a rut playing this game right now. changed my awesome HoA focused burn build into a generic stupid POS split arrow build (its good, but boring) so i need to spice things up. i got thinking about poison arrow. i looked up the gem stats and it states that all increased projectile damage will boost poison arrows damage. KABOOOM thats all i needed to hear. so now im thinking up poison arrow builds. i come together with what i think will work out pretty well. then i search forums for other ideas and i see your build, which is essentially almost exactly what i came up with. my tree is quite a bit different though, but the gear and links are almost the same. see, i don't care about being a glass cannon. everybody is dying in one shot now anyway so i really don't give a F____ so im heavily focused on getting every bit of projectile, DoT and chaos damage that i can, along with lots of hp. im planning on still using my 3x curse however, being warlords mark (for endurance charges), vulnerability (degen dmg) and temporal chains (slow effect). couple this with the helmet that boosts damage based on how many curses you have on something and kaboom you have another 60% increased damage for your poison arrow. im thinking my PA will do a shit ton of damage. i just need to do a little buying and selling to get the gear (the +3 bow and lvl 4 empower is basically all i need). heres the tree i thought up thats 177% hp, +226% evasion (then converted to armour), and +311% damage (projectile, DoT and chaos combined) from the tree alone. drillneck is another 100%, carcass is 12%, helm+curses is another 60%, total being +483% damage. this is without any support gems yet. hilarious. im gonna convert my character to this type of build and make it work. even if i have to use that regen amy and only use 2 curses, im gonna. EDIT: nevermind. screw the curses. frenzy now adds 4% MORE damage per charge? im going to get my 10 frenzy charges again and get 40% MORE damage. ha Last edited by xMustard#3403 on Jul 23, 2015, 11:26:30 PM
