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?

There few items you can definitely get better and they are cheap.

1. Belt: try to get max life, 2 t1/2 resist with reduce flask charge >15%, the higher the better.

2. Ring: your ring is pretty good, but if there is one more with chaos damage then it's better.

3. Increase crit gem: using with 20Q or even better 21/20 help you reach capped value with diamond flask, which lead to the next topic.

4. Flask: in my opinion your worst item in your build except unique.

> Get an instant life flask like divine or eternal, with seething/bubbling/panicked (seething being best choice)

> Get diamond flask with good prefix or suffix, will go into more detail.

* Best flask prefix for our build (most build, only apply to utility flask) is surgeon / experimenter / chemist.

* Suffix needed for mapping is Heat / Staunching. Good to have are Quickness / reflexes / warding.

-------------
PS: from shaper fight, experience and knowing what is do is important, that can be gain through mistake :)

Second important is to have proper playstyle and flasking. Charge up your charges using frenzy shot until you see opening to unload everything.
When you see opening like when he doing beaming (kamehameha) , dodge to side (best if very near him) then pop all your offensive flask (dying sun, atziri's promise, witchbrew, diamond flask, sulphur) then barrage all the way until he finish his beam. (3-5 volley at least)

Forgive me for being stupid but I swear I thought I saw you post somewhere about making some recent changes to the build that involved not needing vulnerability on snakebites, am I crazy or just blind

You have several gems without any quality...
I suggest you to buy gems with 20% quality and level them to be level 20 with 20% quality.
And gem "Added Chaos Damage", get a level 21 (twenty one) with 20% quality (because of the flat damage).
You could have also another Devoto's Devotion with the enchantment "40% increased Lightining Arrow Damage" for clearing maps...
In Snakebites there is an enchantment that is "Curse enemies with Level 12 Temporal Chains on hit", so you can make the mobs slow just by hitting them...
You flasks could also be 20% quality, so you could benefit of more time or more life...

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?

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.

Yeah, I guess you're right that LA is really better in AOE situations. It's just, barrage feels more impactful, I suppose. Not a lot of stuff in this game has the sort of visceral feeling of impact that I got from, say, Barbarian in D3, and I kinda miss that.

Still, if Volley Fire is dirt cheap, no harm in just trying it, eh? :)

Yes, there is. Just take out CWDT IC link, then slot in following:
Frenzy - faster atk - curse on hit - vulnerability

So you would curse time to time while at the same time maintaing frenzy charge. I personally using TC glove so not using that.

If anyone has the time, may I ask someone to check my gear to prioritize my upgrades? my profile should be public with ign: beachinn

Get both to 5L > change your iron ring and amulet to better 1 with life + resist + accuracy/int with vacant prefix. Then chaos craft your accessories > 6L high rolled QotF > reach > 21/20 added chaos.

After that plenty of choices, dying sun /witchbrew / +1 drill neck / vulnerability glove / +2 proj to barrage / Envy crafted ring.

It's me again, my post is up there. Thanks for all the tips. I took the advices and adjusted some of my gear, so please recheck what's next on the line.

I still have the other barrage dmg devoto's but I'm gonna keep it for some specific map swaps. Other than that I mostly clear with lightning arrow anyway.

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

Anyone got a passive tree for Opus?

Thanks

Great build, I love it so far :)

But one question: I'm a bit concerned about the Chayula Fight with -35 Chaos Resistence. Has anyone beaten Chayula already? Is it extreme to handle the damage? Or is another Equip needed for this guy?
