Man, I'm loving this build.

I have a question for you: what kind of stats do you look for in your extra jewels?
Ok, another one: Would you craft chaos damage to attacks or physical damage in an amulet that already has lightning damage to attacks? What pushs your damage further?

In my opinion getting a good amount of crit multiplier on an amulet gives a big boost to dps.

Thanks mate!
I have only an open affix. Might try chaos damage, but 13c to craft will have to wait a bit. Not in the best position after yesterday buying the last pieces of gear ehehe.

Quick question here - absolutely love the guide by the way and really impressed with this. I almost quit playing POE and came back to try this.

That said, here are my questions as I am still fairly new.

1. I only play HC so wondering why there is a lack of life nodes? I rushed to get 2 Volley Jewels and now using 5 link Roth bow (lucky with fuses) and 2 jewels - works awesome but I have 400 life at lvl 20.

2. I tried blood rage setup you suggested with cast on hit and I ended up dying because it drained my life so fast at lvl 40. Should I not be using this jewel until later?

3. What does this mean? AssMark (enfeeble)... Do you suggest using one or the other or?

That's all I have for now.

You're doing it wrong if that's all the life you have managed by level 20. Life nodes are worthless without life on gear. I'm leveling a Witch atm that has 15% life on tree. At level 14. With 417 health and 146 ES without anything special on. Just life on gear. (and not every piece) So you're doing something terrible to have 400 at 20.

Dying to Blood Rage... that's fairly impossible unless you weren't paying any attention, but yes, you should wait until later for Blood Rage. You need to be able to leech back the life it's using.

He means those are the alternate curses to use in place of those for each setup. So you can decide which one uses enfeeble and which one uses assassin's mark. Same with projectile weakness and temp chains.

Thanks for your answer.

But the way to reach Aspect of the Lynx not only gives physical damage, it gives movement speed, and atm, with this build I only have +42% movement speed with +25% boots. I think it is short, don't you ?

All the nodes in the ranger section for damage are low quality nodes. Also, this build doesn't use Physical Damage at all, so getting stuff on the tree for phys is worthless. Pitiful movement speed as well. It's a huge point investment with literally no benefits.

why not using piercing shots and fatal toxins

Been looking for a good Barrage build since the Jewel for it was released, but I don't think I want to run this one without a 6L Cospris (my Voltaxic and Reach both refuse to 6L) and I definitely can't afford that.

Curious though; Is there a viable Reach version of this build? (Assuming Legacy Reach)

Also, is it worth using a +1 Projectile Drillneck, or is it better to have the default implicit to have 100% Pierce at all ranges, rather than 90% at long range?

There is a barrage build that uses reach/death's opus for assassins. +1 Drillneck is definitely better.

Piercing shots doesn't do anything. Because of Powerful Precision, you have 100% pierce chance already. Fatal Toxins are good, but it only scales your poison and none of your primary damage. It's generally better to invest in general damage increases like projectile damage because they also apply to your poison damage. If you have the spare points it's worthy though.

So i think i find my "final" setup

So i switched to Iron Reflexes.
Taken Vitality Void
Used Grace Aura and Herald of thunder.

Result 57% phys dmg reduction and no more one shot.
Trap now are more manageable.

How does additional arrow quiver work with barrage? Does it add an extra barrage projectile?

With the 2 additional Barrage can you get that enchant from merciless lab? Is it easier to get from uber lab if you can run the content pretty easily?

If you want a Rat's Nest +2 you are probably better off farming it yourself. They are very expensive and you could possibly get another useful enchant on rat's nest that you can sell. If you are going to use anything else it is probably better to just buy it.
