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.


The jewel costs 20-25ex for a bad one, not doable for most players, including me.
Dying sun, hyrri ire are very doable but those alone won't do it even against fully pimped out deli yellow map bosses, nevermind T16.

So we need bow (~10ex craft cost) + hyrri (assuming 5l almost nothing) + sun (~2ex) + jewel (~20ex) = >32 ex just to kill T16 bosses? I think I misunderstand something. With Death's Opus bow still >22ex. What am I missing?
Note that I use cold pen instead of damage on full life for bossing (trying to lower their res below zero).


Btw, in OP pob-link-text still says 1.09 but it's the link for 1.10.


EDIT: oh jewel prices going slowly down but still 16-20ex.

Hey, first of all - thanks for the awesome build! I really enjoy it :).

But I have two questions.

First, which gem would u recommend instead of "Damage on Full Life Support" (for Ice Shot and Barrage setup), it don't think I am at full health the most time.

And the second question, do you have any tips for delving? (Is there a way to get life leech while in darkness?)

Thanks a lot!

Inspiration support works quite well for me (and it did last league) - at the moment I'm in yellow maps but considering I only have a tabula for now and don't feel any dps missing (ST or clear) I imagine it will perform just as well as last league.
Hello, I just found this build on STD quite cheap. Is it BIS for the build or should I focus on getting rare one later on? P.S. I really dont like crafting :D

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?


I die in 130quant T16 maps quite often :-D but if the map mods aren't totally crazy you should be fine. Getting life above 4.5k is very hard though.
Yeah, perhaps inspiration support instead of dmg on full life could be better for bossing? Or does awakened cold pen win?

Apologise for the poor wording.

5ex referes to the budget build, using the leveling tree part 8, gaining 4m single target, assuming maxed gems.

rare crafted bow will be about 10-20% better than current death opus, before then just use a 6l death opus/Hyrri ire. Watchers are cherry on top, you can go without it. so just hyrri and death opus, if you want to clear full juiced t16 with delirium, obviously you need a lot more currency.

the POB number is the version number for this guide, not the current league. 1.09 instead of 3.10 eg.

it is still BiS, unless you can get a mirror tier rare bow.

I would swap for cold pen, inspiration should be in there already.

You need flare to be able to do damage in darkness, and leech, no real tip there.

I played the mapping setup and couldn't push more at depth 700, i suspect bossing setup can go a bit more.

Yes that's what I experienced. I tried a T14 with 100% delirious and the nasty elemental equilibrium mod, took me 7 seconds to clear a small room of magic mobs lol and the unique delirium bosses, I couldn't even damage. I had to switch to my summoner to kill them. But they even kill my buffed lvl 27 zombies (they have like 30k hp and fortify and such..), this league is so op even after nerfs.

Hey,

Could you explain the benefits from Hypothermia. I was playing without it on a 5 link and so far I was doing ok (up to T10 maps).
I have now acquired a 6 link, so I added Hypthermia, which doesn't seem to be adding damage (at least no sheet damage).
Is the extra chill and freeze that helpfull (so far most stuff dies fast enough) on higher map tiers maybe?

thanks
