[outdated] King of the Forest (Crit version)

Would your build be any different if your Reach was 6L and Queen of the Forest was 5L instead of the reverse?

It's the same, eventually you will upgrade double 6L in the future anyway. Just use the higher link with barrage.

Hello, enjoying the build so far, changed over from BF. lv 88 atm
I have most of the gears required (for the corpsi will version)
problem is i only has 5.4k hp and die very often in t15+ maps especially on boss, almost any hit can bring me to 10%hp or one shoting me, im missing a few life nodes (maybe around 20%) but still those wont add up to 6.5k hp like some of the people posted here

all 4 jewels has 6+% max life

p.s. edit to show my gears

Usually max gear is around 6.2k, 6.5k is when use QotF with life helm (rare or starkonja), 7K is when you use belly of the beast, higher if you use kaom's heart. 6K is the goal, but I'm currently sitting at 6.15k

Hey, how much currency i need to make this build work for T11+ maps?

Just an estimation (my last known price):
5L opus - 50c
5L QotF - 50c
Snakebite - 1c
Devoto devotion - 2c
Drillneck - 2c
Rare ring amulet belt boot - 5 * 7C

Total of 140C for gears, slightly more than 2 ex I guess. With this should be go to T13/14 easily. T15 depends what your gem lvl are.

Hey man! I'm pretty new to this game still, but I really like this build and i'd like to test it out.

I've got a few question about priorities or whatnot.

How essential is the +1 arrow on drillneck? They seem to be really expensive (way over my budget). Is a regular one OK? Is the non-corrupted drillneck still the item one should go for? Or would other quivers work good? What stats are we looking for? There are some +1 additional arrow rare quivers for ~10c (Other stats are usually rather useless on those though).

I'll be starting out with 5L (Since I'm poor). Do I need both 5L chest and 5L bow? Or is 5L chest or bow sufficient? (I.e; Can i swap gems around, or is both attacks needed on regular basis).

I've got about 250c or something, So getting the "essential" gear, without the +additional arrow stuff (and ofcourse dying sun, which seems to be worth more than my house) will not be a super big problem. I'm still conserned about if that will be enough for some end-game content. I'd like to run atziri (not necessarily uber) and Uber labs. Will it be able to handle that?


Thanks

@ahlmeister regular drillneck is really fine. on a tight budget i'd say go for 5L opus + 5L queen (or rare chest to be cheaper)




guys I am amazed by how active this thread still is. I finished 40/40 today and will quit the league basically; I will not be around much and check this thread from time to time, but I won't be able to answer many questions :( Luckily the many people helping out here do a great job, so thx for that !! Big shoutout to all of you helping out.


small spoiler: I already have a new op build idea ready that I will develope for next league ;) Hoping its not getting nerfed.

Got lucky and 6l a cospris with a few fusings.
Made some changes with my jewelery and gloves. Dropped the ICS gem cause I was crit capped with Opus, 4 PC and a diamond flask. Have 6.350 life at Level 89, with buffs (4 PC, 3 frenzy) 33.000 barrage-dmg, 40.000 split-Arrow.
Really enyoing the build.

2 or 3 things for you concerning your problems against bosses :

1) Most important thing : find a 20/20 Decoy Totem and use it constantly against bosses
2) Not budget but needed : change your gloves for high life ones
3) As it is your Boss combats which are the concern, you should max all the gems in Barrage setup (ex : Chaos Damage Gem)
4) Your enfeeble should be higher level than that (any 1% damage reduction is a life saver

Hope that helps, gl and cya ingame

So I'm playing your build, but with a little twist.
Here's the idea:
Perfect form + purity of elements.
Reached 6.7k life, super high dmg and all. I dont move as fast as you do, but i dodge spells, have a lil bit more accuracy and more life.

Alright so, have tried all the end game content multiple times. Killed hydra, minotaur and phoenix enough times to do 11 Shaper sets. Studied the fight, and was prepared to die multiple times before being able to beat him.

After 10 Shaper sets, I can say that I do NOT like his build for killing shaper. No matter how well I play, if I don't dps him down quick enough, the fight becomes absolutely impossible. At phase three, when the second shaper appears, you have to hope for luck if you want to be able to kill him. Unless the + barrage projectiles helm increases dps by a great margin, as well as chaos jewellery, I do not think this build is a Deathless Shaper kill build. It just doesn't work that way. You have to focus 100%, dodge absolutely everything and make NO mistakes and also hope for a bit of luck because it becomes too chaotic.

Not sure if they buffed Shaper since OP posted vids, but believe me I do not lack on skill (I can kill hydra deathless easily, with difficult map mods, even though that fight is difficult), and I really struggled to kill Shaper, and was only actually able to kill him on 2 of my 11 sets. Like I said, I was prepared to lose 3-4 sets as I warm up, but the fight requires luck to do deathless, and if you die once or twice, it becomes increasingly impossible to kill him because those black hole bombs take up a lot of the battlefield and doesn't allow you to kite and move around as you can in the first fight.

This build is amazing for mapping, but is not a good boss killer. For those considering this build for HC, think about it long and hard because you are not going to be doing Shaper, Hydra, Chimera or Uber Atziri with this build. You make one SMALL mistake and you're dead.

For mapping this build is amazing, fast safe clear, kills map bosses in split seconds and is fun to play.

tldr, if you have spent as much exa as I have on the gear for this build, and struggle to kill Shaper, then perhaps this build's purpose is a mapper first and foremost.

I am not yet sure if I am going to continue playing the build in order to get 2x Chaos% rings as well as +barrage projectiles Devoto's, and retry Shaper, or just quit the league for now. I am pretty demoralised as I thought I would be able to safely farm Shaper. Oh well...
