[outdated] King of the Forest (Crit version)

Is it worth getting 5L opus or is it better to save for a reach of the council?

Opus is a cheap alternative, and very, very effective. If you perhaps struggle, personally, I would advise you to go for Opus. It clears big chunk of content, and can do uber lab and normal atziri without issues, possibly low end breaches as well. It's quite strong, and worth getting as a replacement until you obtain Reach.

As a filthy casual as I am, I am still using it, and it serves really well

but is upgrading from a 4L to a 5L worth the price? I'm already using an opus.

I think opus is not cheap alternative. I currently have both opus and reach of the council. They are both about average rolled. And opus tooltip dps is way better. Higher crit chance definately plays its part. Now i know that tooltip dps doesnt reflect 2 added arrows, but frankly speaking i didnt ever encounter any problems with aoe clearing running LA as aoe, while in single target scenario i frequently wish i had more damage to kill bosses faster. All-in-all, i think these two bows are pretty much equal if you are using LA.

I won't even use my Opus until it is 5L. I've tried it with a 4L and the dps comes out about the same, mind you with mine it was 3G1B so I skipped the crit gem. I'd say the damage increase with a 5L 2B3G would be massive based off of what I have seen and that much of a dps jump is well worth it. You aren't going to pay for fusings trying to 5L what you would pay for the reach so if you want the dps now I would go for it.

How would a 300plus spa harbinger work compared to deaths opus? I crafted one last night . Edit. I have not tried this spec but am interested in giving it a shot.

I'd say go for the 5 link. My love for Opus my has influence in this statement, but Opus is definitely a good choice, especially considering the Reach prices nowadays.
Also, keep in mind that cheapest 6 link Opus at the moment is 5.8 Exalts, which is LESS than a no link Reach going for 6.4 exalts.

I'd say the it's the same for Tornado Shot and Split Arrow as well, as you said for LA.
Personally, I'm using split arrow for aoe, on 5 link: SA-Inc Crit-Add Chaos-Pierce-Void Manip, I find it more smooth, although LA is definitely a winner there, but I just love how the 9 arrows are fired and cover most of screen. Ofcourse, there's no innate shock which would amplify everything in your arsenal if mobs don't die on first hit, but yeah, for the content I'm in at the moment, it works well. Single target is a 4 link: Barrage-Inc Crit-Added Chaos-Void Manip. That setup took down normal atziri, so I'm confident it's decent.
While it may not be actually cheap, considering the difference in prices is the reason I said cheap alternative, mainly because people care alot for Reach, because it's a "better bow" with free GMP.
Note the quotation marks.
In previous league, I reached level 92 with Opus, and it was the character that got me everything I had then.
Reach, on the other hand, while it was on weapon swap, had small usage, due to nice bonus of the Opus crit chance and that lovely amount of 150 crit multi. That. Is. A. Lot. At least in my head, it's a lot. It outperformed Reach on harder fights, and it took down Shaper on lv90.

Does anyone know the name of the new flask that adds chaos damage?
Might be great with this build.. I just can't find it on google.

Hey guys,

I just started rly with PoE last season so i´m not that experienced with the game. I was looking for a league starter and went with this build - after some stuggling in the beginning i have to admit that i rly enjoy it but i have a "big" problem:

My Gear so far:

I have the problem that some maps are unplayable whlie some "harder" maps are easy as hell. For example: I did a T15 Abyss with this Gear and it was super easy, Kaom died like instantly. But i wasn´t able to clear a T12 Vault Map, or a T13 High Garden Map because i died too often to the boss and felt like i did 0 damage to them.

Are there any Map-Mods to avoid?
Is something totally wrong with my gear (or is this just no enough for red maps)?
Are there Maps to avoid because the boss has extreme chaos resisances or something?

I can´t figure out the problem by myself.

Replace Void Manipulation with Slower Projectiles Support, VM is for 6L. Are you proccing Frenzy charges on the bosses? You MUST HAVE instant recovery life flasks. 50% is not enough in my opinion.
