The tooltips show damage per arrow, so you don't see the gain from +2 arrows there.

Kind of curious where to go from here. Getting OP Chaos DMG jewelry is pretty rare so its my current Chaos Orb sink. Ive dropped around 500-600 Fusings into QotF in an attempt to 6L with no sauce. Probably going to have my gems all 20/20 tomorrow..casually leveling them along :P. Also need to get 3 more levels for another 2 jewel sockets. 20/20 and Jewel Sockets are already on my list xD

As far as mapping im steadily farming t11-13 without issue. Aside from walking into something or a mistake on my end. Not glass cannon, but definitely huge on positioning it feels. Havent tried any of the guardians either.

How do you feel about Sulphur versus Atziri's Promise?

I've just gotten a Promise (randomly felt like doing Atziri lol) and it just feels all around better than Sulphur, but Sulphur also lasts nearly 2.5x longer. On the other hand if you run Promise shouldnt you theoretically be able to drop all leech related nodes since you essentially have 100% uptime on Promise and it would have such a heavy leech.

Idk theres probably more gamesense and getting used to the build for me to do, but is there anything im lacking here? Great build, really love it over pizza sticks lol.

ya but if I calcule the dmg with +2 arrow I still get more out of opus

Hey folks

Thank you for this great and enjoyable build. i started dual flame totem templar and had big trouble with breaches. than i swapped to the kotf build and i LOVE it. great aoe, speed, and fun. You die, if you fail to dodge and you MELT breaches and rares in breaches.

i returned to poe after 1 or 2 seasons absent (did perandus with a sparker) and killed atziri only once. i don't know what a uber lab or uber atziri looks and feels like but before i invest my mats (offering of goddes 2/4) i wanted to ask:

what is the minimum on gear/level/hp/resist i should have to not fail completly doing a uber lab for the last 8 ascendency points?

My gear is okay for the maps i ve done so far, but its far from great. i try to get my masters to 7 for the chaos enchant on rings while looking for cheap rares. Meanwhile i level a total of 5 added chaos damage support gems. i don't have any jewel sockets specced yet.

Appreciate any help/advice.

Thanks.
Keep on melting in 2017
Happy New Year.

Is there a way to use this build without the Frenzy spell? I really feel like it takes up a lot of time to cast and it feels more like a hindrance to me than a benefit. Since this is full crit I get the Assassin choice but if you really need that much frenzies why don't you go raider with a Blue Dream jewel?

Thanks!

Ah, I see.

My other guess would be that your Added Chaos Damage gem is underleveled, and/or you lack the jewelry with flat chaos damage crafts (Elreons), and/or lack crit multi on amulet/skilltree.

Adding projectiles is, essentially, multiplying your damage. This might not be worth it for you.

Sulphur is a good choice if you're after an extra flask mod. I believe that's the reason cmphx runs it - he wants to have movement speed flask mod (25-30%) and the evasion one (80-100% evasion, which converts nicely into more movement speed).

Atziri's definitely gives more damage. I went this route too until I eventually swapped to Taste of Hate for defensive benefits.

Applying Poison via Snakebite is a core part of the build... that's what the Frenzy charges are for, mostly. You can't do just with the Ascendancy chance to poison (you can tell it won't be when you try to kill something with 1 stack less than max). There's an alternative Cospri's Will version if you really hate it, but I'm not going to vouch for it - I think it's flat worse due to the range a Blasphemy curse being so tiny.

We use Frenzy as a workaround to get Frenzy charges in single target situations. I hated it too, but you get used to it. Just shoot them one by one while moving, don't try to spam 3-4 of them back to back whilst looking at the top of your screen; don't treat it as an actual attack ability, see it more as a 'something to do while moving' kind of thing and you'll train the right habits. Run around (whilst tapping Frenzy) -> commit to a spot and Barrage 1-2 times -> run around -> commit and Barrage -> etc is the routine. It's pretty easy to mentally count how many Frenzy's you've casted this way too.
