Is this build in danger of getting nerfed anytime soon? (say for example if double-dipping was no longer possible). I really like the idea of this build but don't want to start leveling, spending currency on it only to find that it doesn't even work anymore.

" I think that double dipping might get removed with act5 (which i speculate will be released march 2017) So you have lots of time left :D the new league still lasts until December so there is almost 3 months left to have fun with this build. I doubt it will get nerfed in December, the damage is great, but its not overpowered (as it was with frost wall) RIP King of the Forest view-thread/1738625

" Unstable Infusion generates charges because lightning arrow hits so much targets https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1738625 Please keep questions here only about the marauder versions, and post your gear/experiences/questions with assassin in the other thread. thanks RIP King of the Forest view-thread/1738625

Hey cmphx-- I'm looking at making a second build for this league, wondering how this build fares before it hits it's stride with the Reach or the 6L bow? I have the Queen and the other gear already, just looking at prices on bows and wondering how/what I should do before that. Debating between this and an Ancestral Warchief Marauder, this just seems like a lot more active playstyle + more fun.

" Hi ! This build is fine with a lioneyes glare and a cheap 5L for starting maps. for higher maps with lioneyes (up to T11) i would recommend using a 6L then (cheap corrupted one or a tabula) because this build gains alot of damage through links. The good thing about this noncrit marauder version here is that it doesnt need a 6L when you have a reach of the council, because you save the gmp gem. Two five-links will be enough for engame content then. the 6th link is mostly QoL. So buy a reach as early as you can. from then on it will be amazing. 5Links are enough with reach, for any other bow you kinda want a 6L (because you need GMP) RIP King of the Forest view-thread/1738625

A bit of update from me.
Currently lvl93 Berserker and mapping is not challenging. However Hydra just takes ages. I have setup a caustic arrow alternative set to try this as its immune to poison. So far downed Phoenix - easy and Minotaur - not easy. For the last I am confident will be hard as Hydra due to poison immunity. My gear is really good, dont hate me. 22k lightning arrow, 12k Barrage, 97%move speed, 19k evasion and 6.8k HP Gear:
Spoiler
No idea how I am going to kill Hydra and Chimera. Any thoughts? ign:Qvaza

" hey there, that is some amazing gear, oh my god. Have you tested how reach of the council feels vs. your insane bow ? :D Minotaur should be easy once you understand his attacks. He is basicly completely countered by Decoy totem, which gives you enough time to burst him down considerably. I have no idea about chimera and hydra though :/ how does caustic arrow damage feel? Have you tried Explosive arrow maybe? Hydra can be bleeded, so maybe puncture traps can work, or generally puncture (with rapid decay instead of voidmanip) In general those two fights are the only issue for this build. It can clear anything else, including uber atziri and shaper. let me know if you found any other solutions ! RIP King of the Forest view-thread/1738625

" Thanks mate for the suggestions. Minotaur is ok I got him. Today i downed Hydra as well. Best fight so far and toughest. I did it with 82% cold ress on a ele weakness map with +95% cold damage. Got 1 cold max from tree, one from ammy and 5 from 21 purity in the essence worm. Doable but slow with a 28lvl CA on a 6L bow. Chimera is easy too. I was concerned, but did it with the default Barrage setup. No poisoning though. It works on the adds which are much harder imo than the boss itself. For explosive arrow I am not sure you will be able to ignite passing the boss threshold HP. Havent tried. Reach I havent been able to test but if you want we can do a quick test swaping mine and your just to check. Mine I got as a very good deal and its 440ish pdps. 6L it with 1000ish fuses which was annoying. One thing i forgot to mention is that i swap Dareso's with Starkonja for bosses - more HP more defensive option. My CA setup is at 7.2k HP and feels good. In summary: Up to t15 content is absolutelly no problem. Chimera, Minotaur and Phoenix are fine with same setup disregarding immunities. Just have to kearn the fights. Hydra is very tough and pain with this setup, will take ages, all skills dodge-ble with a good placement of decoy totem. To make it easier extra cold ress and other skill CA and maybe Puncture will work. The Q Edit: puncture is a good idea. Dont feel CA is that good for bosses. It melts packs and rares, but on bosses i am not a fan and my setup is probably as good as it can get (except lvl4 empower to push lvl29 CA). ign:Qvaza Last edited by qvaza#1532 on Sep 23, 2016, 8:42:54 AM

" i tried chimera and hydra solo today on my assassin version of the build. with very good engame gear both were very easy, just took a bbit longer. did you make any new experiences? the fights are generally much easier if there is no hard mapmod on it. thats the main problem with the guardians. edit: also killed shaper with my assassin, not sure how zerker would perform RIP King of the Forest view-thread/1738625 Last edited by cmphx#5486 on Sep 24, 2016, 7:14:05 PM
