what were you using before PCoC then? Frenzy -> Curse on Hit -> Assassin's Mark -> Faster Attacks? Chain? Gmp?

Would it be worth running Hatred + Blasphemy + Assassin's Mark instead of Herald of Ice?

Nah, there's no way blasphemy would be worth using. You offscreen way too much with this build. It's not meant to necessarily facetank everything. I mean you can with the gear I have, but I wouldn't really recommend it. You'll ALWAYS have power charges up while clearing the map. They'll just fall off on bosses without PCoC. And before I had PCoC I just used Frenzy-Curse on Hit-Assassin's Mark-Herald of Ice


This setup in a 4L lets you leave either your bow or your chest open to throw fusings at at will to eventually get the 6L.

Ohhh I did realize that Herald would apply Assassin's Mark

Is it worth spending 60c on a 4link Death's Opus, cause that's what it's going for ATM =/

Another suggested section to add to your guide: Enchant priorities.

As in what Head, Glove, and Boot enchants should we aim for and which are the best, which are great, and which are good.

I saw this done in this guide.

and in the gear section a rundown of Jewel priorities would be nice. Do we get Life + Phys dmg? Life + DoT? Life + Area Dmg?

Really helpful

All that said, I just hit level 74 with this build in 10-12 hours. It was one of the smoothest and fastest leveling experience I've had in ages.

I'd really appreciate videos to see how you play the build as I'm still uncomfortable with fighting melee bosses and such. It'd be good to see how the general playstyle actually looks. As of right now I'm still getting comfortable with the big hits that sometimes happen so I'm running Decoy totems more often than Withering Spell totems on bosses.

If youre taking video requests, I'd request a general high level mapping video and a Merc/Uber Lab video (just the boss fight).

Until then could you explain the tactics of dealing with bosses? Your playstyle section doesnt really explain how we're supposed to handle them mechanically.

Are there any specific bosses you're having trouble with? I mean it isn't a melee build with permanent fortify, 30k armor and 7 endurance charges. You still have to play smart. Don't tank the usual 1-shots, but eventually you'll blow bosses up fast enough that you won't have to worry too much. I generally just dropped a wither totem and killed bosses in 1-2 seconds after poison starts stacking. Didn't have to deal with mechanics much.

Spider Lair Boss, Racecourse bosses, generally any boss that melts through the decoy/wither totem. Part of it is just getting used to any hit I do take smacks me for half my HP. The other part is I just don't know how to mechanically handle the long fights other than dropping my totem, Blink Arrowing, and praying I'll kill it before my pots empty while keeping up frenzy charges.

Fully buffed I'm at 15k DPS and 5.2k HP.

I don't have a 6 link yet.

I just picked up Kintsugi so that'll help, I'm sure.

Kintsugi is insanely strong for the rare hits you do take. That'll definitely help. Otherwise, I'm honestly not sure. I didn't feel like I ever had trouble with any boss. :( Totems are literally a joke (the boss totems ie Atoll) because King of the Hill just pushes them to the end of the Earth.

I guess i just need to get used to the movement I just feel really squishy to certain bosses, the highly mobile ones and the ranged heavy hitters, and mmulti bosses like RaceCourse. Part of that I'm sure is mechanics, which I learn best from watching done right, so I'm really looking forward to videos.

Here's what I'm working with atm:



19k DPS fully buffed now.

I'm loving the build for the most part. Outside of feeling vulnerable and incompetent lol.

I would work on getting your resists pumped up so you can throw on Atziri's step. You'll definitely notice a difference there. And a lot of your gear either has low life or NO life. That's not good. You need as much life as you can squeeze out of your gear so just work on that and you're looking good otherwise.

Alright well I squeezed my resists to fit Atziri's Step in. This works out okay, but getting the Life on rings with enough res to fit my gaps is gonna be expensive atm.

But I'm looking at 5.2k HP atm, took a small DPS loss for it, but that's okay.



Thanks for taking the time to help out, btw. I really appreciate it.
