[outdated] King of the Forest (Crit version)

I'm thinking the next upgrade should be plus 1 arrow drillneck, then a dying sun flask. I'm working towards getting a 21/20 added chaos gem, and soon will be looking at essence of envy jewelry with added chaos damage. Is there a priority for other gems for quality bonuses or 21 level gems?

Was almost able to clear hall of the grandmasters until some bow user kept killing me in one hit from off screen.

Most of your single target damage comes from poison. Maybe you're not constantly sitting at maximum frenzy charges to make use of your Snakebite? Also, your added chaos gems are REALLY low level, leveling that gem should be a priority.

Yeah I just realized that. Unfortunately, my int isn't high enough to level those gems any further. I've got 30 int on my new ammy (which isnt really an upgrade over the old one) and I thought that would be enough since the guide says you need 21 on gear, but its not letting me level them higher....

Hello, I actually liked this build up till around tier 12 maps but now on higher tier i take a bit too long for bosses and dont even oneshot mobs. I am even using herald of Ice for more dmg. Can anyone help me out with the build pls? What am I missing?

My Gear


Im still missing Dying sun but that shouldnt have anything to do with me not oneshotting mobs like OP.
Still not lvled gems to 20 and no Quality. Would that make such a big difference tho?

I was hoping to get some advice. I have just started one of these in Breach and feel like I must be doing something wrong as I just cannot seem to hurt bosses. I can clear trash like it was candy but then i hit the boss and get my ass handed to me (e.g., Merci lab--> trash i just walked passed but Izzaro killed me in 30 seconds in phase 1!). I'm even having trouble with bosses in T6 and 7 maps! I've tried using the decoy totem but bosses like in Izzy just 1 or 2 shot it and then eat my face.

Any advice hat I could get on what I'm doing wrong or how I should improve would be very welcome!!!

The most important thing is not get hit, you easily get one hit with some mechanic. Just walk around and shoot a frenzy time to time. When you saw izaro doing stupid shit like waving hand around, summoning undead, etc, it's your cue to unload barrage canon with diamond flask. Before that just circle around and use blink arrow on emergency.

I personally never use decoy totem after nerve, just did phoenix and minotaur (long fight due to enfeeble, more life, chaos red, etc) nearly deathless (dead once to Mino due to latency spike)

So learn to run for your life, if you never stop, you never die :) even you keeping shooting frenzy arrow. (Linked with faster atk)

Imo, herald of ice doesn't do much in this build, or any herald. This build just doesn't scale that way. Added chaos is first priority, crit strike is second priority, others are just fine with 20/20, but lv20 only will worth pretty sufficient. (Except for those 2)

Recheck your skill tree against the skill tree on the first post, OP devise another skill tree (latest) that is less on int but more damage, due to availability of high int on equipment.

Yep, I'm dumb--I just realized that. I went ahead and grabbed an extra two skill nodes to give me the int I need. Once I have the gear for it, I'll resepec outta them.

And you're missing 1 slot of jewel at Acrobatics (10-11% projectiles dmg). Quality Added chaos dmg (10% chaos dmg), Slower projectiles (10% projectiles dmg) and Pierce (10% projectiles dmg) to 20% for more dmg, Blood rage for more attack speed. I think 40% dmg flask (Sulphur Flask) is better than Onslaught if you want to 1shot trash mobs. Use Wither and Spell totem instead of CWDT and IM call give you more dmg when boss fight and Spell totem sometimes work like Decoy since Decoy no longer eva. And keep in mind the mechanic, blood rage always up and maximum frenzy charges

Im not using any type of cursed till I get a Snakebite vul on hit. Frenzy-Faster attack-Blink Arrow-Power charges on crit thats my Frenzy setup, all i need is power charges because if you want to maximum crit with LA and Barrage to 1shot things you have to maximum power charges.

With this build I never get any problem about dmg, the dmg really good, my problem with this build is Defensive, probably my movement skill so bad and my wooden laptop :(

Sorry for my bad English :)

Hey man thanks for the great guide!
This might be a silly question but
im trying to run the lab right now but i deal no dmg to Izarao.. even though i have most of the gear you suggested
How would you change ur gear or the gems when u run the lab?

Thanks!

Thanks!

First, which lab ? (Normal/cruel/merc/uber)

Second, what is the gear you mentioned suggested ? (Opus or reach, 5 or 6L, with/without drillneck/snakebite)

Third, did you make sure you have high/max charges before blasting izaro ? (Frenzy and power charge, how you use your diamond flask)

4th, we don't change anything for lab, maybe flask for highest movement speed (adrenaline/reflex/stibnite/jade/quicksilver)

5th, what is your life currently ? And evasion ? Easiest is to post your gear here.

Last and not least, when you lack of damage, check the diagnosis list from CadmiumFlow. It's on the first page second post
