I may have missed it but why do we grab an explode chest if we have poison prolif? Just for corpse removal and even faster clear?

Yeah, for those reasons. In my opinion there are better mods considering we have prolif.
In my case I went for extra curse to use temporal chains in my gloves. Temporal chains translates into extra duration for poison and wither, and a slow to stack with hinder.

I'm still crafting it, just fishing for harvest.

Explodey chest for things like delirium (higher end) and simulacrum actually are insane defensive boosts, as the constant waves of monsters just die. You don't get near the same kill rate with prolif. Keep in mind that with cinderswallow, you also get health back per kill - with explosions....that's extremely fast.

Oh yeah, if you want to go for that level of content it makes sense.

Congratz!

Also read your earlier post which made sense. I'd see what I can do when I have time.

@All: this is long overdue. So before I have time to make something comprehensive, below is some info regarding the transition of the build and its variants from league start to end (recommended gears for early map will be discussed laterTM):


NOTES: feel free to skip any step if you think are ready for the next one.

BUILD ROADMAP

1) Starter:
- Toxic Rain + Totem (Shrapnel, Artillery with added cold damage).
- Gears: Quill Rain, Drillneck, (low level) despair cast manually..

2) Mid league:
- Scourge Arrow
- Gears: Voltaxic Rift, Dendrobate chest, Thunderfist gloves, (+chaos damage)boots, despair cast manually, added chaos damage, level up unbound ailment & deadly ailment, Blast Rain.

3) Early maps:
- Scourge Arrow, Withered totems (+Multiple totem sup, faster cast speed,etc.).
- Gears: Dendrobate (5 link), either V-Rift bow (+Thunderfist gloves) or Darkscorn (need at least 50-60% chaos resist), +1 arrow quiver, hunter ring with despair curse on hit, should have at least level 1 awake added chaos.
- Cluster jewel: Start to think about enduring composure and the flask jewel.

4) Red maps:
- Attack: SA and Blast Rain (replacing wither totem).
- Gears: Rare Elder poison bow, Dendrobate or Warlord chest (-mana, life, fortify, etc.), quiver with chaos dot/dot multi and/or +1 arrow, Fenumis gloves, Good roll helm with Fo us (+1xx% ailment duration while focus), should have all necessary awake gems (at least level 1).
- Master the SA + BR moves.
- Defense: Stick with the Acro Tree/Evasion-based and Immortal Call/CWDT for defense.
- Cluster jewel: should have completed the large+medium clusters.

5) End-game: two main attack variants: SA and Barrage.
-Gears: red-map gears plus: Well-rolled elder bow, Tailwind+Endurance boots; a well-rolled chest with -mana, enduring composure, explode (Crusader) or +1 curse (Hunter), +120% fortify effect while focus, well-rolled helm, Aul amulet (free Determination or Malevolence), well-rolled Hunter ring with despair curse and life gain on hit.
- Cluster jewel: complete.
- Defense: Armor stacking with Iron Reflexes and Molten Shell (rotate with Focus).
- Equip alternate qual gems, WE jewel, etc.
- Attack: Barrage or SA.

6) Ultimate end-game:
- Everything in the end-game and Transcendence.
- Tune gears a bit for phys reduction.

OMG!!! u r awesome!!!

Hi all,

Well you've done it again, another league, another PF SA character for me! Couldn't resist!!

Anyways, i'm a complete noob at crafting - just did the 3-socket resonator craft as per guide and got this - any good?

That's a very good bow. You can #YOLO harvest slam something into the open suffix still and that T1 Attack Speed roll is absolute money.

Perhaps i little overdo it.

How many str/int do we need at 21lvl of gems?

Help Me Please. Your total DOT DPS is 15 million higher than mine. What am I missing?

Fantastic! Thanks for the feedback, what do you think I should slam it with from Harvest?
