[outdated] King of the Forest (Crit version)

Hi,
Decided to try this build. Have around 10EX to spend. Go for the council with 2x5L or Death's Opus 6L + 5L. No clue how to evaluate dmg on this one.
[edit] didnt realize my question posted earlier

6L/5L with Opus will probably get your more bang for your buck. Even 5L LA with LMP lowering the damage should be strong enough to carry you through mapping with good enough gear/gem support. 6L Barrage with Opus will be about as strong as Reach against bosses.
Im gonna try this in hardcore breach will let you know how it goes for me

Personal opinion: I'd highly advise you to change your mind.
I'm at 7k hp (yes, 7k with this build) and this still feels somewhat squishy compared to other builds fine tuned for HC.

It's a very good build for farming content you've already done.. but for progression/starting from scratch it's a bit risky, one mistake and you're dead.

Updated the guide a bit and changed a few details. I am reaching the character limit for a single post :D

Why Vaal Haste?
ANd when we should use it with this build?


its huge movespeed and attackspeed = clearspeed

So use it in maps to farm faster. Its not that useful vs guardians or shaper.

What's better for rings %chaos damage or flat chaos damage?


%chaos is better by a large margin. But hard to get :(

Hello! Im going to farm some more, then try this build out.

I was wondering. Wouldn't a High pdps harbinger (400+dps) be better than the council? Or is that last gem what makes it shine?



It pretty much needs to be a mirror worthy bow to be as good as reach. Its usefulness for barrage is just unmatched and since we use added chaos, it outperforms almost every harbinger.

Hello!
I'm new to PoE and decided to start playing on HC Breach. I level'd my shadow now up to 65 and already got decent 'starter' gear for the king of the forest build.
(Death's Harp, Snakebites, Drillneck, 5L Armor) I'm capped on resistance, too.

I'm just a little bit confused about all the gems you are using :D.. Which Skills should I use to farm on Dried Lake on Merc in Act 4?

Looks the playstyle like this:
1. Using Arctic Armor and Grace as Aura
2. Use Frenzy to stack up 4 charges (hold 4 charges all the time)
3. Clear mob groups with LA
4. Kill Rares/Uniques with Barrage

Is that correct or am I doing something wrong? :)

For the leveling I recommend bladevortex/bladefall like in my progression thread.
This is my setup for maps:

I change vaal haste with decoy totem before going to diffcult bosses or trying hard content. I highly recommend using vaal haste for breaches.

and you are right.
1. activate auras, then remove from the skill list.
2. in a new map, cast bloodrage, use frenzy 3-4 times, then bloodrage will keep up your charges automatically if you kill fast enough. Should it run out, recast bloodrage. should your cahrges go away, quickly get them back up with using frenzy.

3+4 yes like that.
