[outdated] King of the Forest (Crit version)
|
I'm at a point now where I have saved a decent bit of currency and trying to decide on the best bang for my buck as far as upgrades go. I managed to 6L my Death's Opus, so I'm not real keen on replacing it with a Reach unless it really is that big of a DPS upgrade.
I'm looking at needing the following pieces, but need help with prioritizing which ones to get first: Devo's with +2 barrage 6L Queen of the forest (replacing 5L) Snakebites w/vuln on hit Jewelry with +% chaos damage +1 arrow drillneck Reach of the council Current gear - Character named 'AintLifeABreach': https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Kicknz/characters |

I'm creating a build inspired heavily by this one. Great guide!
Changes I've made include using Kintsugi instead of QotF and running 6 frenzy charges with double the duration. Still 235% life. What I sacrifice for the extra atk speed, accuracy, damage and 20% damage reduction on bosses is: Slightly lower evasion both passives and because Kintsugi has 1200. Less movement speed (like 20% less compared to Queen). I'm a big fan of blink arrow. Attack speed =/= survivability on a bow build imo. The extra 8% more dmg never hurt anyone either. Well, everyone except my character, but you get the picture. Clearspeed might be lower with the reduced movement, but I feel much safer with 20% DR and increased shot speeds. I'll review these changes once I'm 90+ and in decent gear. Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.
Lay your portal gem to rest, don't you die no more. 'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this league. Try to make maps meet, you're a slave to the meta, then you leave. |

"Double 6L is luxury (overkill). A 5L LA oneshots everything it's meant for anyway. I'd say the +1 Drillneck is the most overall impactful upgrade you can get, as well as the cheapest I believe. |
|
" I think %chaos accessories (not perfect, but good enough) are much cheaper than the rest in that list. |

Why all go crazy with the reach? There is a vídeo comparing it with the opus and with the opus the damage is slightly better and the price of the opus is much less than the reach.

" Have a link to that video? |

" I agree. The overhyped Reach is not that good compared to Opus on this build. It's amazing on Ranger builds with much lower crit than Assassin, but for this build, the added multi is massive boost and easily counteracts having to use LMP. Remember that while poison can't crit, the damage is still based on the damage of the hit that applied it. Plus on crits you get the 100% more modifier from Toxic Delivery. Yes, LMP is less projectile damage, which double dips as well, but the added multi makes the crits still do much more damage. In short, Reach has more consistent damage, while Opus is more spikey. But they are both solid choices and Opus is imo better. Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.

" If only a +1 Drillneck would go up for sale :( They're not even available in Standard (checking offline as well) |

I have a question about how Cast When Damage Taken works. Is Vaal Haste ever cast automatically? I haven't seen it on my buff bar yet. Also, how do I get Endurance Charges for the Immortal Call gem? Zuletzt bearbeitet von Yumih#5597 um 15.12.2016, 10:39:04
