[3.13]🏹 Poison Barrage-VF / Scourge Arrow / TR PF | Bottled Fortify | The Tankiest Ranger + High DPS

The reasoning on why I chose these 3 fossils is explained in the crafting section.

+ Abberanth Fossil: more chaos, no lightning
+ Metalic Fossil: more lightning, no phys
+ Corroed Fossil: more poison, no ele

With them, we end up blocking all physical, all elemental (including lightning) mods from rolling. In addition, we also increase the chance to roll our desired mod:

+ Flat chaos damage: x10 chance to roll.
+ Inflicted poison to deal double damage: x50 chance to roll.
+ Hybrid poison chance/inc damage: x50 chance to roll.

also, the +% chaos resist's chance to roll is increased (not wanted).

That's the reason we can roll 3/4 desired mods with such high confidence.

I'm able to down a T12 (+alch) mapboss with ease. You can check my current setup by clicking to my profile. My gear, excep the crafted rare bow, is similar or worse than you in overall. Here is the video clip:

@Profatum:

I can confirm what whiteyfang said is correct. The chance is high for the 3 mods to roll in the pool with the fossils I listed. We block most of bad possibilities with this method. You would need less than 15 tries to roll one similar to ours. Mine was rolled after 6 tries.

Ok maybe I got a little carried away

Some map bosses are problematic, not all of them

But all "pre end game" bosses are extremely problematic (shaper and elder guardians, conquerors etc...) end end game bosses impossible (sirrus wiped the floor with me )

You think you could take on sirrus or guardians with this bow ? If we do have similar gear and you can that means I do have an issue somewhere else

Yup. ilvl 83. Don't buy ilvl 85 or 86.

Are they worse for this purpose? Or just 83 ilvl will be cheaper? I've got 84 ilvl base, will it behave the same as 83 ilvl?

ilvl 84 is OK. Mine is ilvl84.

Not using ilvl85 and ilvl86 is just a future-proof suggestion. It's a little more arduous to obtain the appropriate high-tier seeds for ilvl 85+. Still testing an optimzed way to Harvest craft. You can ignore it for now.

You could have a look at my bossfight with Sirus in Delirium league. Nothing significantly changes. You need to understand the mechanics and have enough less-damage-taken layers. Cluster jewels are good to have, too. Wait until next week for new patch that they buff cluster jewels.

Yes. The bow I am using already on par with Darkscorn offensively with a fraction of cost. Btw, below is the bow I used in clearing all end-game challenges Delerium offered (from Sirus, Uber Elder, 100% Delirious fully-juiced T18 maps, etc.):

What i've got after 5 attempts, still have 7 more corrosive fossils, but kinda afraid to lose it. The only problem here is t3 poison mod, but others are t1. Is it ok?

Should be OK. Just craft +40% chaos dot multi on it to make it 4/4 desired mods. Should be decent enough to use, while you find another bow to craft +attack speed on it (5/4).

Edit: you could also ponder with Harvest craft to add an additional mod on it (augment with a new modifier).

Just tried it, haven't yet touched endgame content or even t1-16 maps but it feels devastating after previous bow on yellow maps. Thanks for the help. Just one more question, what would you recommend to replace at first place? Ignore wrong crafted mod, its placeholder.

mmmh okay then, guess i was too used to destroying bosses

So for the first time I failed to kill a boss with all 6 portals. Part of the reason being me being overconfident and other part being new to this fight. It was a Re-written Distant memory map with the boss I didnt fight before, it was a Golem instead of the usual dude.

Anyways, here is my gear. Let me know what should I change.

My plan is to:
1. Change the rare ring
2. Change to quiver to +1 arrow after I finish that craft
3. Remove ES mod from belt and add something better.
4. Get a SA enchantment helm (I dont want to buy a Hubris circlet or armor based helm :( )
5. Anoint the amulet, but Im thinking if this amulet is worth anointing.
6. Maybe change the boots? Either get regen or Attack speed enchantment or flat chaos dmg enchanement on a rare boots (Tailwind perhaps? )

does this have the potential to become something good or shall i just reroll it ?
