Starting up this character myself in EHC. I have basic leveling gear (Silverbranch, Storm Cloud, Death's Harp, Wanderlust, etc) ready to go. Unfortunately I am not sure if I'll be able to afford a Drillneck/Tabula right away or anything (had several hard rips including my lvl 65 Facebreaker Chieftain AWC last night, took that really hard). Leveling should still be breezy, right? On a 6c budget at the moment so I'm unsure. I work 40 hours a week so I'm hoping this will finally be the build to take me to red maps, 90+ and beyond.

Also, do quality gems matter a ton while leveling? I have Q12/13 Barrage and Lightning Arrow so far, and wondering if it matters on the other gems like Added Chaos Damage.


I think you'll be just fine with two four links until you can afford a drillneck. I used Asphyxia's quiver until I got mine and it worked just fine. I feel you with the rips and working full time. The struggle is real.

Good luck with the build. I think you'll find it an extremely safe option.

Thanks and cheers mate! I will use Asphyxia to level with then. Is that the best leveling quiver until Drillneck? Appreciate the advice and relation to work / life struggles. I'm hoping to enjoy it, it'll be my first bow build of this league. Hoping to pull off the rags-to-riches story with it as well! Only thing that worries me is reflect mobs / things like the Racecourse boss.

Do I need quality gems especially in Added Chaos Damage or just go with what I've got? Hoping the leveling is as smooth or perhaps as fast as the AWC Chieftain I was playing.

I don't have any quality gems and have had a really smooth and safe experience.

Killed uber with 1 death! So happy.... went out and bought a chest piece, 1 jewler and 9 fuses later


I guess Chris was repaying me for that bad luck on my bow.


Only issue is now dont have slot for grace, any idea where to fit them all in?

- Figured it out, I just stop using with totem shaper boots (gear swap)

Just hit 65 and the build is starting to roll. I just picked up Master of the Arena and i'm trying to decide between heading to the templar/scion life nodes or picking up the 3 jewel slots i passed up first.

if I pick up the jewels, its 7 points for up to 21% life, plus utility mods
if i go for scion life it's 8 points for 19% life, 20 max life, amd 50 str (10 life), and access to the 4th jewel slot for 1 point
if i go for templar life its 9 points for 1.8% life regen, 20% life, 20 max life, and 60 str (12 raw life)
I understand switching the belt and another skill for reflect maps.
But You will meet rares with reflect on maps all the time. Can you one shoot yourself with this build randomly? (offscreen) While I kill alot of reflect mini bosses on T1-T4 maps I wonder how it will be on T14

No, one pack won't one shot you. You'll just get dented. A lot of your damage is in the chaos scaling, which is why we don't scale with the "physical" stat, so we can kill reflect packs without worrying.

You recommended Unstable Infusion -> Deadly Infusion -> Noxious Strike -> Toxic Delivery.

If I go Unstable Infusion->Noxious Strike->Toxic Delivery->Deadly Infusion(taking this last after I've done my uber trials), will I deal more damage as a level 65?

Toxic delivery is only effective if you can crit reliably. To Crit reliably, you need deadly infusion so I recommend that node first
So many strikes within one breath.
But only one strike needed, for certain death.
I dont know how you guys sustain anything else than Grace. I run out of mana at lvl 85 with the same tree. Im leveling an enlighten but it will be slow.
The OP doesnt even have leech/mana regen on jewerly.


also my ice golem dies so fast im gonna put it on cwdt 2
