I think the first DPS curse you should run is Proj Weakness. That % projectile damage taken is it's own "More" modifier which works multiplicitively with -% enemy resists. Adding additional -% enemy resists ontop of something like EE is much weaker than another true "More" multiplier. Plus that 25% knockback is surprisingly strong defensively.

You shouldn't have any three links... you have your bow, your chest, and boots/gloves/helm.

You have got a chest like victario's for your auras, your bow for your mirror arrow links, helm for a dual curse on hit, boots for blink arrow + vaal Gem, and gloves for your CwDT setup. I am still wondering about your Vaal Haste since AFAIK with the attack speed cap on the clones it doesn't do anything. I have found that Vaal Discipline solves most of my survivability issues. With the 80% damage reduction on the clones, an extra 1000 ES keeps em propped up pretty good.

Hmnn... That's another difference between our builds i guess. I don't use Blink arrow for damage at all. It's just there by itself for a movement skill. I actually think the curse on hit setup does more damage + survivability than another set of clones does. You said you are using enfeeble right now. Switching out Blink Arrow for a CoH setup will add EE for 50% more damage, and Projectile weakness for 40% more damage. That's assuming you get +1 curse from somewhere(pretty cheap really). 50%+40% more = 110% more. That's more increased damage than you are getting from doubling your clones. Triple curse and beyond will be atleast 20% more per curse, or significant personal survivability gains. That's ignoring Curse effectiveness nodes, which might boost that # by another 20% or so.

Is it confirmed that accuracy on anything or anywhere else besides bow and quiver does not matter?

I tried using my 400 pdps harbinger and got 75% accuracy, I am not sure if the lose of 25% chance to hit worth the DPS gained, unless it is 25% or more dps gained.

There is also no wording in the line from Slayer that says minions don't get it or specifically only the player gets it, I hope GGG rewords some of these skills to be more clear.

Since I got Slayer path, I noticed map bosses, dying much faster than before.

Ya, just hit 88, just 2 more levels to go :D

As with minions in general, besides support gems, nothing you pick up that does not explicitly state it affects minions should apply. Be wary of confirmation bias. :)

The only exception with Mirror/Blink arrow specifically is their inheritance of your bow/quiver. So your X arrow tooltip is irrelevant with regard to both damage & accuracy. I'm not sure what the base accuracy of the minions is, only ever used Lioneye's.

FWIW: I've been using Rain of Arrows - Curse on Hit - Projectile Weakness - Increased AoE quite successfully. Curse on hit attack of choice is of course highly subject to personal taste. But when it comes to links:

* One 5-6L for Mirror Arrow traps.
* One 5-6L for Blink Arrow traps.
* One 4L for curse on hit.
* One 4L for auras.

I completely agree with the statement that a CWDT setup does not give much bang for the buck with this kind of build.

This leaves one 4L for whatever else. With your setup I suppose you'd want a 2L Stone Golem for regeneration and a 2L for movement (hardcore mindset - you want some movement ability). In my opinion you could well afford to leave out vaal haste/vaal summon skeletons - or you could opt to have them as standalone gems in 5+1Ls until you get hold of 6Ls.

Another option would be to skip Trap/Cluster Trap on your Blink Arrow. This way you'd have a readily available movement skill and gain links for other usage on the rest of your gear, but lose out on some aoe damage. Replacing trap/cluster would make room for two nice damage gems of choice though - say, Increased Duration & Pierce, making up for the gap in single target dps.

Not saying you *should* do any of the aforementioned stuff, but I strongly encourage you to keep testing and adjusting your setup - there are quite some options! Theorycrafting is nice and all, but only in game testing gives a fair view of a build's offense and defense in reality.

I love this build. It is very unique. I have all those uniques required lying around.

But how do I level up this build?
