[outdated] King of the Forest (Crit version)

Been having a blast with this build. Getting pretty close to what I feel is fully geared. Currently ele weakness capped for 2/3 (166% cold) resists with semi-ok jewels. Got my Reach and a +1 Drillneck and loving it. Wondering which pieces and or tree/jewel adjustments or upgrades you guys would recommend to prepare me for shaper?

Also, fitting in wither totem I know is a must. For shaper you simply remove the decoy totem setup correct? Best place to do this is in the boots? Cant seem to find a reasonably comparable set for a decent price.

That being said, reg Atziri is a joke, esh, tul, and xoph melt. Time to try Chimera who I already know is going to be a bit slower due to the poison immunity.

Hello!
I'm not sure what to buy first, helmet with +2 barrage or quiver with +1 arrow? Does the +1 arrow on the quiver influence the barrage damage?
Do you think that another helmet, other than the devoto, with high life can be good too?
Thank you!

85% accuracy is enough? i am level 88.

And why i deal only 7k with my barrage skill? My gear is fine, i just need 2 jewelry with %chaos damage. Is it because i don't have drillneck +1 and devoto +2 arrow?

85% accuracy seems a bit low, but not critical. As for barrage damage, you didn't show your gear, so how could we tell? But that is not drillneck or devoto, because barrage tooltip DPS is per arrow.

Your gear looks fine. Maybe missing crit multi on amulet and missing %chaos on couple of accessories, plus missing damage on jewels (cannot see your jewels) will add up. Also ensure you summon Ice Golem when you are ckecking DPS in hideout.

Hi! I'm going to try this build, is vaal pact really not necessary? It's my first time playing a bow character.

I prefer not having it in this build

Vaal Pact is more aimed at builds whose game plan is to facetank and outleech things. That's pretty much the opposite of the strategy you want to apply to this build

On the other hand, I find the ability to regen on the move without Vaal Pact actually useful.

It's not necessary. Once you get used to the build, it feels great. You probably need vaalpact if you constantly want to do crazy map mod.

The main concern is blood rage's degeneration, can be problematic if you take vaalpact.
