[outdated] King of the Forest (Crit version)

Hey,

Love your build.

Did you have any ideas about using Voidheart instead of Snakebite gloves?

Also, Arrow Dancing not worth taking or?

Voidheart only works in melee...

Porcupines and reflect are not a threat so I think it's better to take life node than Arrow Dancing.

What's best between lioneyes glare and opus?

Hi really loving the build.
Just got my 6l Queen of the Forest and was wondering what i should upgrade next.

what would be the parts i most importantly need first?

Reach, then +1 Drillneck. I am using Opus and the 3 additional arrows would greatly improve my map clear speed. And melt bosses even faster.

For some reason people always forget that Opus has 150% crit multi, one of the hardest stats in the game to stack. 2 more arrows, while sacrificing 150% crit multi. Kind of a huge deal, which is why post-nerf Reach is only slightly better than Opus. Reach is only truly much superior in a non-crit build.

Easily Opus. 150% multi is OP.

Would this build work with Sion or ranger?

The crit you gain from assassin is really good, I don't think it would work as well on Ranger, could be doable on Scion.

But the other thing that adds a lot of DPS (especially for boss killing) is the assassin's Toxic Delivery node. It literally doubles the DPS your poison stacks can do and can melt bosses with barrage.

I started trying out this build with a Cospri's will and curse on hit gloves. In this case, I got rid of my snakebites with vuln on hit for some asenath's touch with vuln on hit + temp chains on hit.

I find this set up to be a lot more reliable and smoother against boss fights, especially ones that are prolonged by different phases. Without having to worry about ramping up frenzy charges every now and then, allows me more time to focus on dpsing and staying alive.

The only thing is that you lose a decent amount of movement speed (about 20% depending on your gear) and a lot of evasion (if you decide to drop Grace for Haste like I did). Keeping grace may still be better, but I need more testing. I am thinking of getting Arrow Dancing on my next level since I feel like I don't get hit by melee at all, and if I do I'm probably dead anyway or playing badly.



Current Tooltip DPS in hideout (without charges):
22.4k (level 20 added chaos)
12.8k (level 21 added chaos)

Really starting to dig this build. I'm guessing the +1 drill neck would be my best upgrade next? Rather than a 6L Queen or dying sun flask.

No, Dying Sun is the highest DPS boost on the entire character. It does add +2 arrows after all. So baseline it kills +1 drillneck, without factoring in the AoE boost.

yeah i spec'ed into essence sap, immediately got rid of the mana flask.
