Im at lvl 85 as a berserker,
nothing has killed me and all bosses have been killed up to tier 8 (haven't progressed further). Haven't done uber lab yet.
Right now I've found that I can kill bosses really fast by switching to tornado gem in my chest (replace LA) and I just nuke boss down. The poison dps feels really good, everything melts. Just 6linked chest aswell and now im at 90% MS without flasks.

Gear

btw. ALL HAIL DECOY TOTEM!

edit: Haven't figured out what my next weapon ugprade should be. Should I try aquire RotC? or look for high pdps yellow?

Reach is an insane DPS boost, a 7L if you will.

Maybe i am just missing something but can someone explain to me why LA>Frenzy since icewall got removed? I feel like its so much easier to just Frenzy in the link since it always keeps charges up also tooltip on it is higher. I know im wrong to use it over LA but im not sure why.

ALL HAIL DECOY TOTEM ! so true :p

your gear looks great ! indeed tornado shot is very good for bosses. However, blastrain is not good with this build since blastrain doesnt get the pierce bonus.

You should try Barrage + added chaos + slowerproj + pierce as a 4L boss killer (+voidmanip if you have a 5L) it works wonders !!

Reach of the council is still BIS for this build, not even a mirrored bow will be stronger,thats how good it is. doesnt matter which roll you get, it will be better. You can buy a low roll and divine it a few times and hope you get something decent.

Lighting arrow has superior pack clearing. You can try yourself and try to clear a map with frenzy, and the same map with lightning arrow. Lightning arrow will be like 3 times faster imo, but yeah frenzy works aswell ofc.

No chance of me getting a reach on hc anytime soon, I've got a death's Opus though, should work well as an assassin hopefully.

glare is like 1 chaos so probably that ?

opus has sick multi and you can use lmp instead of gmp. glare has cannotbeevaded so you dont need accuracy on gear, but can be more dangerous vs reflect- the only situation that can be bad is a cannot die totem, a huge pack of monsters , and a phys reflect mob in the middle and youre spamming LA into it, so you better have a cwdt ready :D

can you point out differences between Assasin, Champion (you've mentioned that your friend ran it) and Berserker? I'm thinking about running this build as a next one in a queue and want to choose Ascendancy before I start :D

Cheers m8.

Cheers, thought as much.

Berserker = Works fine, tested and approved. Little to no weaknesses, only problem is that you have almost no damage mitigation and you need to play like that.

Champion = Tanky HC version. Not quite as strong dps wise, but can get really really tanky, but often times you'll need to shoot more than once vs a pack. Also it wont be really good until you get your hands on a reach, so its harder to start out.

Assassin = my current experiment. manabased, accuracy dependent, so not as easy to play as Berserker. Probably the highest damage of all though and really fun to play. Also a bit easier to gear at low budget.


Right now i would recommend assassin, its easy to start, you can level rightaway with bows and a deaths harp will carry you up until maps, and a glare will carry you into red maps where you should get a reach. I will post a guide for it in a week or two, up until that you can check my character in my profile (IGN SneakySpinoza).
