[3.11] Aquarism's Ice Shot [All Content]

You are missing 40% elemental damage increase on the quiver.

Slam this one into your PoB and compare:

Soul Dart
Spike-Point Arrow Quiver
Unique ID: ef3f3d0ba91f48700159fd322747210930cd21a41c2573cb5f1958252876847a
Shaper Item
Item Level: 84
LevelReq: 64
Implicits: 1
30% increased Global Critical Strike Chance
+12% to Lightning Resistance
0.26% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched as Life
Bow Attacks fire an additional Arrow
8% chance to gain Onslaught for 4 seconds on Kill
40% increased Elemental Damage with Attack Skills
{crafted}12% increased Global Critical Strike Chance
{crafted}4% chance to gain a Frenzy Charge on Critical Strike


Finally found a decent VF for a sh*tton of currency.

So I can finally compare the dmg between VF and the old quiver. 200k Barrage DPS more with the rare quiver. Need to take a look how it feels with the voidshots.

Finished by build for this league.

Haven't tried Sirius with the new setup but Conquerors are melt pretty quickly.
Currently sitting at 4.3k Health. Metamorphs on T16 tactics are the following:
Frostbomb, Vaal Grace and burst the mofo down. Mostly they die after they spawn their first wave of minions.


@EciRaeb how do you sit at only 3k Hp? I lost a bunch of HP due to resistance rerolls for my gloves. With 3 Abyssal Jewels with +Life and IAS w C I'm at 4,3k.
Ah you don't have a Watchers Eye? It's a small boost honestly. I compared your PoB to mine. Now I see where the difference comes from. You skipped all the life nodes. I'm sometimes struggling even with 4,3k life.

I'm also playing around with the thought going for a Voidfletcher (phys to cold) and a Green Nightmare but the investment is heavy and according to PoB It's less Skill damage with barrage. Are the Void Shots worth it?

Yeah I feel okey with 3k life atm, melt everything before they can see me, I'm still trying to reach 600 in delve, currently at >400 and still under control. I'm only struggle with some big bosses like UE/Sirus/delve bosses.. but I have another char for back up :D

PoB doesn't calculate VF's dps exactly, I think it's better than any rare.

So regarding voidfletchers. If you have the newest Fork release, and have it equiped you can calculate the voidshot damage at the drop down list, without the need to do funky mathematics like before.

It does seem to require you to multiply total DPS by number of arrows.

actually mine does more dps because crit multi is still better than elemental dmg. VF is just better probably because voidshots that pob doesnt calc for some reason, its like 2x damage my rare quiver.

Tried some maps with this VF today:



Feels really good to be honest.

Clear is crazy good and the voidshots help with all the sh*t which Metas spawn.

Hi, love the build, been playing it on metamoprh and can't wait to start back from scratch on Delirium.

I'm just wondering why we don't grab Flash Freeze in the passive tree. Is cold damage not that good considering the build or do you just consider 2 points invested for 36% cold damage not worth it (not even counting chance to freeze, projectile speed and increased chill effect)?

Flash freeze is quite good, but we are starving on points, getting flash freeze means we either drop 1 frenzy node, or lose the ability to get other notables.

You could drop the jewel socket near point blank for it if you do not have a decent jewel.

Is there any way to fit in Farrul's Fur?

Thought about ditching the Green Nightmare.

Still a huge DPS loss..

I've been looking through all of the ice shot/ barrage builds on poeninja. Is it viable or better to wear a farruls fur and use voidfletcher, allowing frenzy/power charges charges to be gained during bosses? I am not familiar with how much voidshots add to your damage or if it makes up for not using a Hyrii's compared to a crafted quiver with the frenzy charge on crit chance. Is this ever more damage than a Hyrii's ire, or a Hyrii's with a good corruption like +1 gems? Is that going to be the best corruption to look for on the chest?

I also had some other gear questions: since we can now get elusive from our boots with the redeemer mod, is it still worth using withering step or better to get this mod on boots to allow something else to be gotten in the gem slots? How significant is being able to bypass the refresh duration?

A lot of the builds on poeninja also are using fractal thoughts with +1 barrage - is this the best in slot for character like this? It's absurdly expensive and seems like it would be good.

Compared to my Hyrris with +1 to AOE gems which i posted ealier the damage with farruls is significantly lower.

On the other side survivability is a tad better since I'm sitting at 4.5k with Farruls.

I still think more damage helps with survivability since you can skip boss phases. I will sell the Farruls again.

I also tried Raider Ascendancy in Path of Building but it is less damage.

Fractal Thoughts is BiS but at a hefty cost of having no resistances at all.
You need a really good Stygian and insane boots to make up for that.

If you want to use Voidfletcher go with Green Nightmare - it guarantees enough frenzy charges when you spec into "Survivalist" and place it accrodingly.
