[outdated] King of the Forest (Crit version)

I've made this build on Legacy Softcore.

Damage Screenshots with flasks up.




Damage is fantastic.
I really need some better jewels.

Legacy Softcore
Shaper

Don't know if this has been posted yet but i have a suggestion for the build:
Why not replacing Snakebite with rare gloves with life and other useful stats and equipping a Voidheart instead and replacing one of the Skill gems in the 6-link with Rapid Decay?

The tool-tip damage might go down, but I'm pretty positive that the factual damage will increase considerably. What do you guys think about that? I am still at the beginning of this build so didn't have time to test it myself.

Voidheart - poison on melee attack.

Thanks, that explains it all...

Hey man nice guide ,
Question what would be a good rare bow alternative ? I imagine one with high phys and maybe even chaos dmg ?
Thanks in advance

like this

harbringer bow
356 dps
7.05 crit

41% increased Critical Strike Chance
175% increased Physical Damage P1
+15 to Dexterity S8
Adds 68 to 103 Chaos Damage

Just me....but wouldn't the 2 additional arrows from the Death's Opus be better than a rare bow?

So currently rerolled a char to this build, and I feel like something's wrong. I mostly think it's cause of the low accuracy, sitting at 84%. I just feel uneasy when playing the build specially when shooting at packs.
Any Ideas?


Tooltip DPS (In H/O): Barrage - 14.1k || LA - 26.5k
Life: 6.2k
Eva: 21.4k

yeah you are probably right. just saw the bow on poe trade and looked nice

So after waiting for past month or so slowly leveling gems and trying to get lucky with corruptions on snakebites and drillneck, i finally got tired and spent a bit over 9ex and got the glvoes and quiver and converted to this build.

it is remarkable. when i was running lightning arrow and barrage with wed and phys to lightning conversion gems my tooltip dmg was huge, though i also ran with hatred aura and herald of ash.

dropped that and following build closely, minus some of the flasks that i dont have and while tooltip dmg has dropped substantially LA from 46k to 11k (cause i didnt have a 2nd set of gems leveled yet) and barrage from 21k to 11k, shit just melts. I am blown away by how effective this is, i partly wondered if most of this was player skill and when i converted i d be running around always waiting for crap to take forever to die, cause i am not a good player, but i was wrong.

practically any bosses that move fast or move around alot die in seconds. obviously that has to do in large part with the maim ability in assassin class vs trickster. i had such problems on previous build taking out shipyard bosses and generally groups of exiles, but they just die. I decided to run waterways, and the elemental boss in my waterways run died almost as quickly as in the video. I think maybe 3 seconds?

i am running with 24k evasion and 90% movement speed, i miss having more chaos resistance but i guess it is what it is. 6.3k+ hp. i was having mana shortage issues, so i gave up 5% health and grabbed a mana leech node. all my jewels are 7%hp but not ideal dmg modifiers. and yet it almsot feels like dmg is good and plenty.


+chaos dmg i assume is better to use over void manipulation? cause i intend to keep using 1 red socket for one of my skills for situational added life leech.

anyways this is my gears:




i am not wild with my amulet, but this seems the best i ve found. my life ring i like for life and it has good resists, but i know here and there things could use much improvement, and obviously my helmet does not benefit the build in any way, so i am going to start working on getting better enchants on helm and boots.
