dropped my Queen of the Forest Armor yesterday and my Grace Aura.
Finaly i run Enfeeble Aura + Arctic Armor + Herald of Ice with Enlighten Gems (Got 865 Mana with Enlighten Gems i have ~200 Mana Left) + Cast Vulnerbility on Hit on my Gloves :)
With Grace i had around ~21000 Evationrating what made ~61% Evade chance, without i have 12000 Evationrating what is ~50% Evade chance. I guess the ~10% are worth for enfeeble, because the incoming damage is lowered a lot. :)
+ the Herald of Ice Skill added a bit more Waveclear :)
i also dropped frenzy because i get the Poison on Hit now from Cospri's Will :)
need to test the damage a bit but it feels still the same on mapping. made yesterday T13 maps and i still oneshot groups.. just the boss damage feelse more smooth :)
By the way.. i kept my Devoto's Helmed, so i'm still on 73% Movementspeed.
Sure i have not the ~90 Life and the 25% Global crit but i still lost not that much speed.
i mean.. the 25% global crit should not be that much or? is there a formula to calculate how much % crit chance it is?
the 50% higher Evasionrating is nice on low life but i think its not that useful.. because i'm always instant full life with the lifeleech + instant leech flask.. and the -50% reduced damage on low life sucks pretty hard xD
u should deliver quite less damage cause the frenzycharges add a lot %more to the total dps.
and wow bro u cant figure out what lacerate does or how crit chance is calculated yet u have a fully geared kotf AND a fully geared cospris (!) (which is terrible btw cause fire dmg on your glove fucks up EE and u dont have shock remove on flask) it makes my detectors go crazy

i know my flasks suck :P i just need to roll them :D just bought the Cospri's Will from the currency i got from my Queen of the Forest armor :P
btw. i get my frenzy charges from blood rage at the moment :)
and you sure that you checked the right profile? My gloves have physical dmg and not fire on it o.ô
btw. i know what lacerate does..but how does it work with a bow? o.o and if you know how to calculate it, can you tell me which helmed is more useful? :P

Any1 know of or playing a CI version of this? Aside from the chest, what speaks against going CI with this? Facetanking bosses should be easier with VP and ES?
Started trying this build couple days ago. This is my first ever very high DPS character, so bit of an eyeopener.
I find I'm squishy against single target bc struggle to generate the max frenzy charges quick enough (I might drop Kraityn +1 FC reward in Merc and take +1 PC or passive instead). The issue I have is that I can't get used to using a key on the keyboard for Frenzy, but its also terrible to use on my LMB since half the time I mistarget and as its a movement button my char keeps tryin to move to targetted area, which slows down my next attempt to frenzy. I have barrage and TS on the middle button and RMB.
Squishiness seems exacerbated by not having arrow dancing and phase acrobatics...unlike OP I seem to get whacked by spells ALL the time, though not projectiles anymore after i opted for arrow dancing. If I can get the gear required I might try switching out QotF and Grace for my legacy lightning coil and Purity of Lightning which is what I use on my TS ranger. Would love Atziri's step too (also on TS ranger), but would have to saacrifice my chaos dmg gems, so not sure thats a great idea.
I might try TS on LMB and Frenzy on RMB and see if that helps.
I can't deny the power of the DPS though...to get the last couple Ascendancy points I Ran lab but stuffed up the first two fights so IZaro had both buffs. Thought I was absolute toast in the last fight (I'm admittely not a great gamer), but I got my frenzies up quick and only two sustained hits of barrage and Izaro was down and out. Amazing.
Here's my gear anyway (yeah I'm using a Harbinger, havent got around to trying my Reach yet).
I have another question, how good would be Point Blank for this build? I never tried so I don't know how close you need to be to get the full damage it can provide. I find myself dealing with UberIzaro and normal atziri from really close range, so maybe it can work?
Would really appreciate some thoughts on this, thanks again for the guide!
Does point blank make you do less damage than baseline from far away, or just more up close? I agree for the bosses you're talking about, point blank would most likely really improve your chances. Also, same thing for Breachlords other than Chayula where the chaos cyclone is really the only threat, I always find that I'm standing right next to them anyway. They are really bad at killing decoy totem.
Point Blank does decrease your damage if a mob is past a certain threshold. Look at this for an idea.
Spoiler
I dropped it from my build because I try to stay as far away from mobs as possible.

You don't want any attack skills on LMB because as you've already realised, it interferes with movement too much - maybe get a 5 button mouse? I don't have a reach either - did last season but I find Death's Opus works just as well

Thanks for that, it really helps. Maybe I'll give it a try and see if there's a notable difference. I'm not in real endgame content, still need to take the 4 guardians down, maybe that's not a good idea against them.

I never have problems with this. I have Barrage as LMB and LA as RMB. Just hold shift to use barrage to attack in place.
