Little confused, you said "just not optimize with this tree" what exactly is lacking? And I am by no means rich :)

1. Every suggestion I'm seeing is to use LMP - do you feel that slower projectiles is better? I feel a little whimpy with only 3 arrows. Maybe if I had that +1 drillneck.
2. This sounds like something reasonable to do next. What's the chaos crafting technique? Do I need a special master?
3. This is just dependent on me gaining about 10 more levels, which is just going to take time. I'm very close to all the jewel slots, but I feel that my life is really lacking, too, which makes this hard. I am trying to decide if I can just give up some existing passives to make room for it. I see a lot of people using the Druidic for the flask recharge, especially since flasks make up so much of our damage.
4. This sounds like the next "big" upgrade, but unfortunately I cannot even afford this. Hopefully my maps are merciful.

OP optimised this skill tree for reach build to have exact capped crit chance on full buff, which is 95% with diamond flask, 78% without accounting flask (which appears in char stat page)

If you use opus, you would end up around 84+% crit chance without flask, and would over capped with diamond flask (thus not efficient)

1. LMP is the initial link used with death harp and opus, but after some time I saw OP didn't use it at all in breach league, so I threw it away, seems better after practice (not simply firing arrow) it's 50% more damage on initial hit with just swapping LMP to slow proj (and it double dips)

2.you need jewellery with open prefix, and craft using elreon 7. If you don't have , alot of people can help. If cost 13c to craft that.

3. That is good as well, but a good jewel provide 6-7% life with resist and damage, too good to miss. My suggestion would be looking out of such good jewel as low price. When you get them just respect few point into a slot.

4. Yes, I prefer not to depend on it. I rather use 21/20 added chaos damage and increase crit gem.

I'm having some serious issues maintaining my Frenzy Charges, maybe i just should just use Poison Support instead of Slower Projectiles on Barrage to still maintain some of the damage. Both Added Chaos, Barrage, Void Manipulation and Barrage's Pierce Support are all Quality 23% so it should help a bit on compensating the usage of Poison Support i guess. Also, how would Pacifism jewel work?

I guess my stuff should be able to kill the Shaper, although due to my lack of skill with maintaining Frenzy Charges, well bricked that run FeelsBadMan

Is it possible to go CI?
What are the pros/cons about it on this build?

Just practice alot, for bosses only use frenzy to start the fight, and keep use it every 5-10s. Use barrage alot only when you see a window to attorney safely. Besides, with all that atkspd and faster atk linked to frenzy, stacking 4 charges take less than 2s, occasional frenzy drop off isn't a big problem.

It is possible but not beneficial, and it doesn't feel like playing the same build. Reason being alot of the unique is life base and evasion base, es need alot of flat es on equip to work well

Thanks for letting me know ;)

Trying this build out, at 52 so far, but I prefer the gameplay feel of barrage over lightning arrow. Would I lose out terribly by switching to a couple of Volley Fires and using Barrage for both single target and AoE?

Hello there, guys! I'm pretty satisfied with the build so far, but I'm looking forward into moving into the very end-endgame content. Am I missing any obvious upgrades on my gear that I could grab right away? I know about devoto's barrage projectiles but can't afford that right now as well as snakebite's corruption. Maybe someone more experienced could've take a look at my gear below and point the obvious screwups.

I've succesfully finished most of T15 maps and am doing T14 on a regular basis, but I believe there's still some leveling (both of character and gems) for me to before I take my shot on shaper, uber atziri or even guardians. What do you think?

You can try and have fun, volleyfire jewel is dirt cheap. But in my personal experience, none of other arrow skill come close to clear speed of lightning arrow for this build. LA hits harder when there is more target, perfect for breach of high density pack/map.

That left ring is trash. Get a better one and craft chaos damage on it. Also no instant life flask?

Other than that your gear is pretty damn good. I stopped playing my guy but I think for shaper you should use wither totem to help with damage...
