[outdated] King of the Forest (Crit version)

Is Devoto's the best headgear for this build?

Why?

The bear one and the Rat's nest seem really similar.

Really good build!
I have a question tho:

For 5L with Death's Opus, I am linking LA with FA, Added Chaos, Pierce and Slower Projectiles.
Should I exchange Pierce for Inc Crit?

Thanks! :)

I'd use LMP with opus until I get +1 drillneck at least.

So: LA - LMP - Added Chaos - Inc Crit Strikes - Pierce.

Why not just try craft it yourself then? Screaming Essence of Envy are only 3c, can prob get some for 2c if you use live search. Sure its still going to be expensive but you can get something worth using for a lot cheaper and have a chance to get some gg item.

My luck is really really terrible and especially more so when it comes to crafting. Trust me if I try to do that I can spend 10 ex worth essences and still end up with nothing half decent. Thats why I always prefer to buy stuff over crafting it myself.

I already spent like 10 essences and got nothing. I will try to get that jewellery later if I can. I am just asking right now if damage is good without %chaos dmg jewellery.

This build doesn't need too much critical chance on gears because you can easy reach 60% or more critical hit chance with pot. Devoto give you 10% more movement speed than Rat's Nest and also more evasion if you have a good roll, evasion bonus stack with Queen of the Forest gain you more movement speed and 15-25% chaos res this good because you're running life base.

Sorry if my English suck.

Yo bro, I just wanted to drop by again and say thanks for the build!

I didn't play in essence league, so I never got to try guardians and what not. With this build though, I have already cleared everything but 1 guardian + shaper, who will both die today I imagine. I've been farming some pretty hard guardian maps, even had a ghosted hydra that would 1-shot with most skills.

Also managed to clear Halls of the Grandmasters, which was a first for me.

Overall this is top 2 strongest builds I've played, and by far the most fun.

Was hoping for a little advice re: gearing with a new char. I'm only level 50 in a4c, still leveling with bladefall. I have a 4 link death's harp (not opus), drillneck, and snakebite all lined up for 58 when I figured i'd swap over to using bows. I plan on picking up a cheap 5 link armor to run LA in at that time. Does this sound right? Should I just keep powering through with bladefall until 66 to use lionseye glare? I don't have the currency for an opus just yet so it will be either one of those two bows to farm white/yellow maps.

Can a 4link barrage work for bosses in that lower end while I farm up currency for an opus? If I'm using glare/harp what is best 5? I assume LA > Added Chaos > Pierce > Slower Proj > LMP (or should inc crit strikes be there instead of slower?)

Are there certain nodes on the tree we should definitely have? My character MyArrowsPoison is public if anyone wants to look at my tree.

I appreciate any help you can give, thanks.

I'm leveling as bow from scratch. Not having much time to play, also poe 2.5 runs pretty much terrible for me and i'm barely paying attention to gear. Got through cruel mala quite easy with 4 links. Also i didn't even care to do lab, which should give some good dps boost. While i'm not sure how fast is leveling with spells, getting through acts as bow char was rather pleasant experience.

I actually leveled as a bow character all the way through with a Death's Harp, then Lionseye at 66. A 5L LA and 4L Barrage will let you farm Dried Lake fine and low tiered maps, although it can be a little slow a times. I used the following links:

LA: LA-LMP/GMP (DH only needed LMP, Lionseye needed GMP)-ICS-ACD-SP (switching to Pierce once I got a Drillneck)
B: B-ICS-ACD-SP (again switching to Pierce once I got a Drillneck)

The key is to level that Added Chaos Damage gem as it essentially works like a spell by increasing flat damage with each level, making gear less important. It helps a ton.

I suppose the only difference in my links vs yours is I used Increased Critical Strikes. At some point it meant more DPS than Pierce and Slower Projectiles. You'll probably want to try both, but DH's +150% critical strike multiplier will probably result in more damage from ICS.

Hi

Loving the build! but i have one newb question

Why the cwdt with immortal call?
Dont i need endurance charge?

Thanks for replies.

I've been leveling dual AC since 31 so those are ready to go when I switch it over. I guess I'll give it a go once I get home today from work. I was playing around with it on a 4 link and found bladefall to still be quicker so didn't push any further on it.
