Hi, i'm relatively new on the game and i decided to test this build because i want to try a mf build.

Doing well so far but a little confused about the gem/links section.

Can you please post something like Best In Slot Gems/Links?

I dont know if i have to run enduring cry for example, or the wither/spell totem setup because in your example gear, there is no this setup.

If anyone could help me posting exactly the gems and links for this build in the end game mf i will apreciate.

Ty all.

Obviously, the most important link is the Caustic Arrow one... and Clarity + Purity to start to maintain mana and max resists... swapping Purity for Grace once no longer needed to increase survivability

Flame Golem for relatively free dmg boost, Blink Arrow for mobility, Portal so you can vendor scrolls

The 4+ Link Frenzy setup is important because you are getting a double DPS boost from your frenzy charges and cursed target

From there, I think there is a lot of personal choice involved, and gem space limitations...

I use the Wither Totem and Vaal Trap to boost my single target DPS on rares/uniques/exiles/bosses... some stack Essense Drain with their Caustic Arrow... Blood Rage is great when you can sustain the drain, because there is less upkeep involved in maintaining Frenzy Charges while zerging maps...

I dropped Enduring/Rallying Cry because they require a lot of upkeep and nearby mobs to be effective...

I also haven't bothered with any of the gem setups for party play... with all the group lag at the moment I only group for master rotations anyway...

Hope this helps... others have some variations as well, like triple Aura with Enlighten and Arctic Armour

To see it in action:

Tks man, now i can see more things than before.

I'm leveling yet, using spark and orb of storm, but soon enough i will change for the caustic setup.

Ty very much for the answer.

I have Aurseize, Goldwyrm, Sadimas, Perandus belt... My question is what is best to use, and do i need to use them all? ty

The only thing I have to add to Piros' post is my CwDT setup - I'm using a 4 link to run cast when damage taken level 3 - arctic breath level 3 - gmp level 1 - chain level 1. I don't care about the damage output on this, it's just there to let me know when to pop flasks and to slow down the bad guys in the meanwhile.

Eventually you'll end up using only Goldwyrm from that list. I'd use Aurseize and Perandus until I found replacements - high MF, life, and resists for the gloves and high life and resists for the belt.

ty!

Anyone tested
Would the Item Rarity gem be better on Frenzy culling strike setup? (Would need a 6 link chest tho)


Would get so much dmg from just having dps gems in bow.

So, pretty much done with the character, prices for upgrades at this point are simply too expensive for me (looking at you, Empower lvl 4), facemelting anything while having great survivability (didn't die once from 89 to 91), 4,5k life and 20.8k (around 21k when gems are back to lvl 20) tooltip damage right now, fantastic build. The sheer amount of currency and items that drop is insane (232 Mf from gear and added 67 from IR), could've done the "Identify these treasures" challenge already if I didn't sell most of the drops unid to finance my gear. Sustaining t9 to t11 maps easily. Best and most fun build I played so far, playing since Warbands. Thanks a ton, Serleth!



EDIT: Forgot to add that I play IR and deviated from the original Skilltree in taking the Scion res nodes instead of the projectile damage so I have some more room with my gear choices.

So I have this lying in stash on sc

Which class/ascendancy would be best on sc with this +1 arrow corruption?

Want to see op's opinion too. Farming a new scion and lvl 64 with it right now. I'm still not sure about ascendancy classes. Any idea welcomed.
