[3.2]Abyssal Wander MK III, 6-7.7M Shaper DPS 5.6k -6.2k life, Shaper Kill Vid is Up

I’ve followed these guides for a little while now and I know why your using the reduced mana shields, but do you really feel the trade-off is worth it from lycosidae?

I mean, it’s a crit build, and we’re talking Roughly 15-20% more hits vs a bit more flat damage.

I can’t figure out if it’s because lyco is cost an ex+ (doesn’t sound right) and the other shield so cheap, or if you actually get more function out of it.

lyco was 5ex while writing the guide. (bubonic trail 2 socketds were 4ex) feel free to use lyco if you want.

ok, gotcha.

Yeah, once people found out a few weeks back about how lycosidae where being mass produced for under 50c, they took a nose dive.

I crafted mine, but recently they are in the 100c range (just under an ex).

Thanks for clearing that up as I wasnt sure if I was missing something and should swap over.

Great build! Here's my implementation of it since we're at the end now.

Build, stats and tooltips

Spoiler


With Arctic Armour: 6.9k life, 32%EV, +1% overcap res, 26% block, Arctic Armour. Unbuffed HO tooltips: 83.6K Barrage, 45.6K KB.

When I swap out Arctic Armour for Lvl4 Empower, Unbuffed HO tooltips: 86.4K Barrage, 47.2K KB. I hadn't planned on using Empower but then corrupted one to 4 so figured I should try it out. Just made that change on 26 Apr...so far I think my deaths would have occurred with Armour anyway.

Things that still kill me sometimes:
Spoiler
Necropolis boss (if he gets the walls on me)
Beyond (at least one death per Beyond map)
The large elder squids hit hard (Graniteslip? Eldritch Spawn?)
T15 Chimera


Things that still kill me a lot (so much that I will likely need all portals and may not be able to win):
Spoiler
T10+ Eradicator (even with topaz flask)
T13+ Elder
T13 Core Malachai (t11 primordial version is easy)
T15 Hydra
T15 Minotaur
Shaper


The helmet CoH setup is mainly useful for mapping. The
build excels at mapping anyway so is there something we can use the helm
for that helps to either kill bosses faster or increase our survivability? Maybe Innervate and Ice Bite? Or Crit supports for damage?
Does POB take bubonic trail increased damage per jewel into account? I've got two abyss socket trail in my stash and I'm trying to work out if it is worth switching from rare boots.

"You have great power. You're right to be proud. It's unfortunate you have to die now, but I will honor you with 45% of my strength."
If I were to play this build as a league starter, knowing it's probably not recommended, what would be the fastest way to get to KB?

It would be tough without LA, so I'm thinking with sticking with Iceshot? or sticking with Frostblades? But I heard leveling with Frostblades as a scion would be slow.

it's worth to give a try to new Rain of arrows.

frost blades is really good for leveling.(i'd use molten strike for boss killing)
