[2.2.0] Voltaxic Poisonous Quills [End Game Mapping Build]

How is your damage in party play?

I am using Physical Barrage + 3xVolley Fire bow build from start and i only have problems in 3+ party since i don't shotgun packs or kill them in 2sec... so i thinking of changing the setup to voltaxic build, but i am not sure if it would help.

No clue tbh, I don't play in parties larger then 2. So can't really comment on that. But I guess that's when the poison kicks in, and with double dipping of chaos and projectile nodes, together with void manipulation should enable higher dmg then with phys.

I'm 91 with this build and really loving it, thanks for sharing!

Gotta link my equ if you are interested :)


There is quite a bit room for improvement I think, esp. on ring, glove and boots.
Amu is also not perfect but the stats help. And Chaos Damage is also pretty good I think.

Right now I got almost 35k dmg buffed so still a way to go. The +1 Tabula might not even be much better compared to the lightning coil dmgwise.
However damage is enough for soloeing. In parties I really enjoy having a supporter with multiple curse and other buffs at my side :)

One thing to note is that I have only skilled one mana leech node and I'm perfectly fine with it. Don't need any mana potion, not even on a no reg map.

Today I found out that I still have 3 passive points from quests LOL! So I might want to see where I will invest them.
One thing would be to increase the tankiness and use the eva + % life nodes or the projectile damage nodes close both close to the ranger. Right now I don't feel like using Poison Blank with the Tabula lol.

Did my first Atziri Runs with the build today on a laptop which gets me down to 20 fps quite often. It's not too difficult but you have to be prepared to die every run unless you really know how to play it I guess.
I saw someboy using a vaal summon skelettons to deal with the 3 bosses before atziri. Tricks like these might make the run smoother.

Funny thing with Tabula is if you run a Phys Reflect map you can take significant dmg from the reflect itself. That gets better if you increase your lifepool though.

new patch brought us some presents:

"

Fixed a bug where the shock applied to nearby enemies when using the Vessel of Vinktar was removed when using a flask with the "of Grounding" suffix afterwards.

So now potion usage a bit less complicated! hype!

Ye i was thinking the same as i saw the patch notes.

Also the Retch Bug where enemies would not drop is thankfully fixed.
Was really weird to see Dominus T8 dropping nothing and not knowing the reason :s

My one question about the armor. Is there an armor that could be substituted for the Lightning Coil? Would a 2000 evasion rare work? I'm using the Lightning Coil but hate having to stack my other gear toward lightning resists. I have though about an evasion armor piece and using Maligaro's Virtuosity gloves...

That's really good alternative that will make your life much easier if you are gearing from scratch. Also, Daresso's Defiance is another great option if you can spare 3 sockets for CWDT-IC-Inc Dur (which shouldn't be a problem).

Hi,

one question i have: you post a picture for the 3 volley fire skilltree sockets. the upper one i only can count 4 dex nodes in range, did i miss something?

Thank you :)

Depth Perception (Accuracy + Crit Chance cluster) also gives 20 Dex.
