[outdated] King of the Forest (Crit version)

I've adapted my Prophecy Softcore character to this, and have made a couple of changes. I've kept using Kintsugi as I really like the defensive boost it gives (but mostly because I'm too lazy to find/socket/link a QoF). I've been playing around with using Snakebites and Facebreakers and I'm not sure which I prefer more. The high phys damage of the (legacy) Reach makes it almost a waste to not take advantage, especially with all the excellent phys nodes on the tree, and using vulnerability to triple-dip with bleed damage.

So far, I think that Facebreakers seem a bit better with Tornado shot, as the sheer number of projectiles is almost guaranteeing a bleed (even at 40%) and poison stacks (I have Dirty Techniques for 65% poison chance against bleeding enemies) and the single-target is great just with TS. This is the "Assreacher" build that ZiggyD popularized with my own small tweaks.

Lightning arrow/snake bite combo is great for guaranteeing a poison though. With tornado shot it feels good to use faster attacks instead of slower proj to create a massive wave of arrows, but with lightning arrow you just shoot it off once and keep running. Downside is the single-target, and that forces you to use extra links there. For this set-up I use added chaos instead of PhysProj, so it's safer for reflect monsters. Obviously the up-front damage and tooltip DPS is lower, but seems plenty strong.

I've been too busy to play much but I'll keep working on it.

AgentofStrife, more like AgentofSalt. Build can't be too shit if he killed shaper with a crude bow.

Hey, have been following the build and I am lacking tons of damage. I'm doing 10k while at hideout and I don't know why. I would link my gear but dunno how to, just click on my name, check my characters and check my character "TicTicTic" for my gear. Please if anyone can help, you'll have my gratitude.

Why would you go through the trouble to make such a terrible post like this? How does this help discussion at all?

You have to go into your Account Settings, click Privacy Settings, and uncheck all the boxes (Well, most importantly character and private profile). Then we can see them.

Oops, ty for telling me. :)

Hi. The added chaos damage gem accounts for at least 50% of your damage. You're at LVL 14 so that's the reason for the low numbers.

Keep in mind though, to get close to the op's numbers, you'd need LVL 21 added chaos, +1 drillneck and flat chaos on jewelry.

I don't have the above things and my gems are around LVL 18/19 20%. I am getting around 31k with full charges, compared to the op's 58k. Even so, I still demolish content.

Ah I see, ty for the response, will grind out the gems now :D

Thank you for this awesome build!
Yesterday I switched my barrage build to you build and spend around 2 ex for all the items in total (including chroms and linking) and I'm having a lot of fun!
