Hi Grocery,

I have a few questions:
1. Lets say I want to buy amulet/talisman for my character. What are the best dps stats in order? Crit multi,% Phys dmg, Crit chance, WED, some Lightning dmg maybe? or flat phys/ flat ele? Obviously I cant have everything. Same with lets say quivers. How good is attack speed.

2. Ive seen your new video and you are exclusively talking there about blast rain. Is it much better than rain of arrows version? My Tooltip with rain of arrows right now Is more than twice as big as BR but the dps is comparable i think. How do I calculate the right BR dps? Also are the best dps stats diffrent for RoA and BR? like in BR WED might be more important?


1) I'd say High Crit Multi (with high crit chance on ur other gear, otherwise multi is not as good) > phys damage > WED

2) Rain of Arrows has massive tooltip damage, but we don't really care about that with FunRain aka Blast Rain.

Blast Rain completely outclasses RoA on damage in all my tests playing both skills extensively, regardless of tooltip. When I am not using rats nest my tooltip on RoA with auras up is 66k or so while Blast Rain is 28k to 30kish, yet Blast Rain completely speeds up my runs and boss kills.

I get the feeling that Blast Rain DPS is per ball it drops maybe? IDK if we can get a TRUE dps number, but it is pretty dang crazy.

WED is very important to both but maybe a tad more valuable with BR, since we can do 100% ele.

possible to make a scion skill tree for this build?


Possibly, but I will not be able to play test it so I'd hope someone else with a Scion could help out as they would be a better fit for this task.

Really dumb question, but would a legacy Lioneye's work with this build for shits and giggles?

Legacy lioneyes? You mean without the implicit roll? Sure, but it is not a top tier choice. Chinsol is better.

Thank you! Another question!

How about Chin Sol vs Deaths Harp?




I see that it boosts the crit chance by a lot and multipler compared to Lioneyes.

I'm just trying to find a good bow until I can find that godly rare lol.

I can chime in here, Deaths Harp is nice for leveling (think grocery might even mention so in his vid) just doesnt have high enough phys rolls on it for endgame.

Chin Sol can get much higher phys dps and is viable for lategame, it just isnt as safe of a playstyle.

Thanks.

I went with Chin Sol for now.

I'm going to farm / save up currency to try to get a good rare bow.

I am playing around with no armor for fun (3k hp), and doing tier 8 and 9 maps flawlessly (im very squishy and basically get 1 shot if I play dumb) but vaal pact and running around and playing smart is so fucking fun lol. Cannot wait to get more gear. This build with Rain Blast is fucking incredibly fun. The deeps are out of this world and I only got 33% crit chance and a level 12 rain blast and other support gems rofl

:) ChinSol will last a while because it is decent. A bit more HP and you will on your way!

Level 80 Courtyard Map with 144% quant here

Posted a video doing a 144% quantity courtyard above with this map. It can run some nice combos of mods, even some that drastically reduce dps! Just wanted to show what it can do on some higher level maps.

As someone who has played this game a shit ton and not really ever done maps about 77, this is awesome to see. This is a build that I can actually do in the new league and possibly see some content I haven't seen.

Thanks for the build and videos!
