how good is this build VS delirium. other build I started with is having survivability issues.

It clears quite nice and fast, gotta move fast because it is not that tanky but im not dying that much and it clears the whole screen with one clic.


On another note i just dropped this gloves, are this decent or should i still aim for tombfist with 2 abyss jewels?

In POB my gloves are not far behind tombfist with 2 decent abyss jewels while having other good stats

I threw some alts at a six link imperial bow, and got this.



Now my question is do I start over and try for the +2 arrows or just multimod this with added phys and %phys? Any advice would be appreciated.

nvm ^^

Checking your PoB, you only have 6% unreversed mana, is that viable to keep with such low mana pool?

And why Grace is linked to CWDT + steelskin + increased duration?

6% unreserved is enough, you can sustain barrage no problem, ice shot might be a bit clunky. im considering taking out spider since they shadow nerfed it(1s to apply instead of instant)

Allright so this is the best i could do with what resources i have. Still not sure if its better than Death\s opus, and i\m not really sure how to check that with PoB.

You need to have 2 t3 or higher dmg mods plus +2 arrows to be better than death opus. Yours currently does not perform better.

I used dmg on full life on my standard toon but my gear there made it easy to keep life up. I do like inspiration alot. Right now i am using 6l barrage with slower proj faster attacks elem dmg ice bit and cold dmg. I ll work on getting inspiration to replace one of those, but hypothermia hard to make sense for me as i am not converting all dmg to cold i am sure my tree a bit different

You are right we do not fully convert to cold, but we should still have enough damage to reliably chill. thus making hypothermia a good choice.

faster attacks and slower projectiles has horrible dmg multipliers, would not recommend using them.

What would we need to invest into first to ensure we can kill T16 bosses reliably?

Also PoB shows Opus to deal more damage than ur rare crafted bow, I assume that the PoB link is not 100% correct?

I corrected my investment quote few replies down. 5 ex should give you 3-4 m single target. I updated POB yesterday, to make sure rare bow fires +2. also POB has not updated new death opus value, it still shows 100 multi while now it is at 50%.

hyrri ire, watcher eye, dying sun. should give you reliable dmg against t16 bosses.

1 point in mana leech near arrow dancing, later on get lioneye's fall and take soul raker

this multi modded with double phy outperforms my rare bow, despite having only +1 arrow. about 700k more single target dps compared to death opus

Hi Aqua,
Since you stated large cluster jewels are not really worth using, what are your thoughts on the multiple heralds? Where you swap out Hatred for 4 heralds.

A medium cluster with herald % dmg and those notables:


Which then because of multiple herald buffs, allows you to use stuff like:



The large cluster jewel with either cold damage % or elemental damage %, and the medium cluster with damage % while affected by a herald.

All the % elemental damage added up seems like a pretty large total increase.

So i ran some tests, the herald medium cluster is not as good as crit. I tired disabling aspect of spider and put hearld of thunder in, tried all notables.

large cluster simply uses too many points. exposure on hit seems interesting, but we already have cold exposure with frost bomb.

very nice detailed guide!

How often do people find themselves dying on this build? Ice Shot is my fav. bow skill and after i get some currency I'd like to make this. While i dont mind dying every so often i do get frustrated when red maps and bosses become constant deaths because lack of defenses. What kind of HP are people getting with reasonable budgets?

What do you consider a reasonable budget?

Got an idea with cluster jewels,

revolves around cold conduction
