Mathil's Voltaxic Crit LA/Blast Rain - Cruise control the entire game. Uber Atziri Viable 2.2 ready
Spoiler
So i'm currently working on getting 6L on my bow and chest, what i'm trying to figure out right now as my gems start getting to 20 wich ones to vaal and wich ones to leave alone. If you got the time mb you could give me an opinion on what to upgrade as well?

Upgrade your glove to facebreaker, it provide more damage than maligaro glove, do that if your resist are over cap.
For blast rain, try elemental focus instead of poison. Around 20-30% more dps (you do lose the chance to ignite enemy, its no good when its dead anyway : ). Also your LA gem setup, try add added lightning damage instead of item rarity. For vaal gem, i'll say vaal all of them if you got a chance, but i would build up another in the second slot in case one got rip from vaal.
If I go first, I'll wait for you in the other side of the dark water.

Hi there!
So first of all, concerning gems: I answered that in my previous post already, but i can sum it up for you.
1.) Added Lightning damage - 20->21 provides BR/LA with a sweet 38 Lightning damage. This is the highest impact of all gems +1 you'll get.
2.) Wrath 20->21 gives 20 lighting damage
3.) Herald of Thunder provides 6 Lightning damage (note that Quality is fine as well in case you hit it!)
4.) All the other gems have small impact on your dps resulting in some notable DPS increase if you get them all; focus on Conc. Effect, Void manipulation and WED for BR and Inc. critical strikes (due to 0.1 Base crit gain), WED and Void Manipulation for LA. The rest is up to you, and, as mentioned above, only gets notable once you've hit a couple of 21 or Q2x gems. It isnt anything you should spend currency on however (in terms of buying 21 or Q2x gems)
Concerning your gear
I'm not 100% sure if that Chest is worth 6Linking, the Resistances are superb but the missing Life on it is really meh. But that is of course up to you.
Rest is basically pretty much same to the upgrades i suggested to mave.
Quiver: Get 30%+ WED, 30%+Chance 25-3x+ Multiplier, Life(minimum 60), Flat Lightning damage, preferably T1, means 1-2 to 27-28, T2 is also fine.
Gloves: Attackspeed hurts for no regen/ reduced regen Maps. You really should concider switching to Maligaro's or Facebreakers. The Life and flat Lightning damage onthem is nice though.
Boots: Your boots look fine so far, i'd prefer attackspeed if you ve killed recently over the MS but that is ofc. personal preference. For future: 30% MS 80+ Life, Resists as much as you need.
Belt: Same WED roll (31+ for T2), More Life Resists.
Amulet: Your amulet is quadfecta already, but basically the critchance and the flat damage are rolled pretty poorly. HOWEVER, it is a good amulet and imo you shouldnt swap it for now except you can get some cheap replacement.
Rings: Get Resistrings as bases to balance the lost ones on your gloves and/or other slots. I think your Coral Ring is really solid except that it got a bit low resists. The Diamond ring is not good at all, except for the WED. Get one with 31+ WED, Life, some resists and higher flat lightning damage. Don't focus on getting diamond rings as mentioned above, rather go two-stone or prismatic rings. Don't forget that for a missing resist an open suffix can help and for flat lightning and/or Life an open prefix!

I dont think replacing Poison is a good idea. I tried critical strikes and elemental focus on Uber runs and high tier maps, it didnt even come close to Poison in terms of damage.

On tooltip its much higher dps, may be the double dip doesn't show on number. Can you confirm this as I am no expert on how poison gem works.
Also for uber run, is vaal pact a must?

i have a 20/20 added lightning for LA just been using rarity because i ran out of maps and currency and been running dried lake (thought i might as well add rarity there because i don't need the dmg)

thx alot for your answer, i'll be lookin into the gloves, it just made it really easy/cheap to hit all resists, because i was kinda low on currency when i geared this one

I see you tried replacing poison with crit strikes, why not try replacing added lightning instead?
I'm pretty new to this build (and bow build in general) and have just hit lvl 81. Still clearing t12 maps is pretty much a piece of cake!
Great build, but I feel I still miss alot in terms of both defenses and damage (19k LA, 28k BR with 3,3k hp and about 4k EV - sure, lvl 81 is still pretty low but idk...)
Here's my current equipment. If one of the kinds Sirs, who really seem to have a frim grasp of this build and its mechanics could give me some hints as where I should start upgrading (and how) that would be greatly appreciated!
Also: what flasks are best to use? Do Rotgut and Lion's Roar work well?
(I'm obviously on a pretty tight budget)
