And how often did you actualy hit the cold dmg per dex mod from this 550c?

3 times.

This bow I made, I annulled/exalted twice.

It was lucky, for once.

However, i've tried to make an upgrade to this (very hard) and haven't since hit that dex mode once, in 400+c.

Here's my full gear. Doing shaper atm, pretty comfortably, dying sometimes to 1 shots tho. At 4.7k life.

I made a elder chest as well, tried instead of loreweave. The evasion I get is very nice, and dmg-wise they are close to each other. Somehow I like the +4% max res of loreweave tho and it allows me to do - max res maps comfortably. I'm only 50 @ without flasks atm, probably switching to rare gloves soon.

how much did you pay for the elder chest?

how much did you pay for the elder chest?

Bestiary league.

1 ex for the base

500 jewellers to 6 sock
1200-1300 fusings to 6 link

18-20 ex of chaos to get this rolls and I'm still not happy about it. It has good synergy with the build tho, but lacks % life or higher life total.

So, I'd not suggest anyone to try to roll elder chests himself, my experience is, it's very currency consuming, and no one wants to pay you for your roll, unless it's mirror tier.

May I ask how much dps you have when you done shaper?

Struggling a bit with the one shots as well. I'm using qotf for farming but not sure if I should go loreweave or attempt a craft. Bow is pretty damn good (if it will ever 6L) but hurting in a bad way to optimize defense.


Also, rolled this on my spare 6L imperial bow, but it's worthless without high phys correct?

Since we don't stack phys, yes it's pretty worthless.

As far as oneshots etc go, that's just in the nature of the build, and is part of the meta for these types of builds. Map clear on high red maps with many mods will usually see the odd portal used, the trade-off is being able to clear fast.

@crazytrain

Not to provoke you, but I really struggle to comprehend how any1 can have played "2k+ hours" and never have advanced beyond T10 maps, unless you just constantly reroll when you reach maps or something.

2k hours at < t10 maps simply means you are indeed a very new player when it comes to the real PoE endgame, you haven't seen remotely challenging bosses yet and ergo have much to learn. That's not something you'll fix with this build, i would recommend you roll a much tankier, cheaper build to progress maps and learn endgame safely.

To people that are dying to bosses, use decoy totem... The couple secs of the taunt should be enough time for u to kill the boss, if not put another one down
Decoy totem is built for builds like this tbh, make things easier

@crazytrain334

Is there any chance that you can replace your chest piece? Tabula Rasa is a build enabler that lets you play with a 6l, however, it's practically a wet tissue since it doesn't have any armor or any other beneficial stats.

Just my 2c. Obviously, majority of the players here want you to succeed but with a build like this, you're pretty much a glass cannon!

I hadn't even checked his gear.

Yeah, I mean complaining about feeling too squishy on a Tabula in T10+....
Tabula is a leveling item, it's not intended for endgame progression.
Switch to a Belly or anything that actually gives you mitigation/life/res and you will see a noticeable increase in your survivability.

Note: even with a better chest, you will still get killed easily when failing to avoid many damage sources.

guys i rechecked the pob where it says 8.8m dmg and i cant find how to ashive such a dmg even with the right chest piece i dont seem to get over 900 dex also after adding 2 more arrows to barrage and the jewels it dosnt seem to make more then 2.5m-3m dmg on shaper!

I'm not aware of any build atm that achieves much higher shaper dps than roughly 2-3 mil, except maybe some cheese Heave Strike build? So you probably did something wrong in your PoB setup to get roughly 3x as much dps as what is considered optimal for this build.
