[3.2] That Doomfletch Life | 3.1 VIDEO GUIDE UP! Tree/PoB | All Content | Reviews

I have done all Guardians for the 40/40 Challenge and many runs more and never had serios problems with them. I farmed myself more than 15 shaper sets and even without +2 barr Abyssus i can do them pretty fast. Not always deathless but since i hit the max lvl its no problem to die some times.

Never played such a nice smooth char. Done shaper what i never did before and it was so easy. I only died because i did not know the mechanic. After i did it some times it was like a joke.

Much more fun than the sparkers i played all leagues in past :)

Here my gear so you can see its not as good as the build leaders. And still works out for all the content the game has.




And i still have so many potential to max out this char... i could get some nice rings mine are crap. My amu is also crap. Gloves are just the first hit and i dont craftet more. I think with some exa invest i could easily get more damage but for what? :)

One real big thing i want to mention is that i rushed complete deathless from lvl 86 -> 100!
Without any death... i had some rotas with 3+ ppl death what hurts badly on lvl 97+
The big deal here is our great viability with flasks almost ever up you are almost immortal with this crazy leech.

Thanks to Ahfack for this great build. Was very funny this league :)

He is 100% spot on. They are indeed harder than Shaper. They have a huge life pool and much more difficult to avoid damage on top of shitty map mods. And I can concur that you won't be instagibbing them with 1.5M dps. In fact they go down quite slow, and my gear cost at least 15 exalts.

They have 2x less hp than Shaper. And if you're struggling with map mods you don't need to mod them, or just alt them for good mods.

I think this is one of the biggest misconceptions of noobies coming into this thread that they are going to evaporate everything in the game with this build.

To "evaporate everything" with this build you need 500 exalts, mirrored gear and legacy items.

No wonder people come to this thread with 20 exalt budget and are surprised when they can't do Guardians when 20 exalt is half the cost of barrage abyssus (which in itself fucks up your physical mitigation).

Dude you have 2x 6l doomfletch, headhunter, +1 arrow drillnecks r u serious xD

Hi.

I have somewhat of a noob question.

It's about using Elemental Focus on Barrage, which gets rid of the ailments, freeze ignite and shock.

Elemental Focus - 49% more + 10% inc

Alternatives would be:

Hypothermia - 39% more against chilled which we have since we have ailments and hatred. We lose 10% more and 10% increased damage, but gain access to shock + freeze + ignite.

Increased Crit Damage - we lose 49% more + 10% inc but gain 110 crit multi + access to shock ignite and freeze

Innervate Support - we lose 49% more + 10% inc but gain flat lightning damage and guaranteed shock stacks - could they reach 50% ? + we also have freeze + ignite

Physical to Lightning - I'm too stupid to compute everything for this but i'm guessing it works like hatred who gives us a ton of damage

Maim - We lose 19% more, but we gain 14% inc + access to shock + ignite

Chance to bleed - we lose 20% more but gain tons of flat phys + access to shock + ignite.


Some of the above seem better alternatives as we gain access to shock that would qualify for the loss in "more", and we also have ignite to compensate. Freeze chill and maim would also help survivability.

Are we sure that Ele Focus is the best one in slot?

Would you be kind and check my characters pastebin to see what i need to improve on my gear?
Kinda wasted alot exalts on gear and still feels meeh ;(

Okay you're at 1.15M Shaper dmg

Use orb of storm/pcoc on guardians/ shaper

This brings you to 1.24M

You're missing good phys on steel ring and amulet, so put in chance to bleed instead of inc crit

This brings you to 1.41M

You have 16% too much lightning res. If you fix this, then your wise oak will be balanced. Great opportunity here would be replace yoru amulet as it has exactly 16% lightning res on it and shitty phys anyway:

Replace with an ammy like these:

I'm picking out Rune Collar Onyx Amulet for 30 chaos.

Now your wise oak is balanced and you are at 1.64M

https://pastebin.com/kk6Jsfve

So basically for 30 chaos, and changing a gem you can have about half a million more damage ;D should be good

I honestly don't get why a lot of people are complaining about astronomical costs, my version which doesn't use Abyssus costed around 20ex. At 95 now.

I have 1.2M dps with charges vs Shaper and it feels great.
Hats off to Ahfack for making this amazing build.

Also got this:

(by no means necessary - just felt like corrupting it after I finished everything except Uber Atziri)

You'll have to check your own sims in PoB, but generally Shock is a massive damage increase. Elemental Focus will typically show up as a top contender.

Currently, I run 2G3R1B, but I'm considering switching to 3R and 2B for Crit Chance/Multiplier. If you're using The Tempest's Binding, the Harbinger add will periodically apply Shock/Freeze through you, but it's a bit spaced and can be random if you're relying entirely on it.

hi, beginner here
been following your guide since the beginning, so far so good
but i cant afford the doomfletch prism and now im lvl 50

First, to answer to the person above as I always hate when I post something and someone comes over me and ignores the post completely:

Please take note that the bow 6l is actually the cheapest piece of gear. The rares you need to achieve big dps in this build will be way over 10 exalted each.
If you buy normal rare gear, like 40-1 ex each, you will probably have 7-800 k shaper dps in the end which is not bad.



Ok, back to business now, so I used the above pastebin suggested by the build owner:

https://pastebin.com/kk6Jsfve

On which I did my tests on wether Elemental Focus is BiS.

Let's say we start with the following 5 links: Barrage, Elemental damage with attacks, Increased Crit Strikes, Phys Porjectile Attack Damage, and Chance to Bleed.

We're going for all of them 20/20.

On that setup, I added in turn, all the rest of the gems to see which is bigger.

So i got this DPS on shaper:


Elemental Focus:
Enemy Shocked: unchecked because we lose status ailments
DPS: 1479350.0


HypoThermia:
Enemy Shocked: checked, we shock with lightning damage
Enemy Chilled: checked, we chill constantly with cold damage
DPS: 2013731.4


Increased Crit Damage:
Enemy Shocked: checked because we shock
DPS: 1880710.2

Innervate:
Enemy Shocked: checked, we shock
DPS: 1532876.2

Phys To Lightning:
Enemy Shocked: checked, we shock
DPS: 16534692.2

Maim:
Enemy Shocked: checked, we shock
DPS: 1908423.8


So, based on PoB, Hypothermia would be best in slot, followed by Maim, and Increased Crit Damage.
Actually Elemental Focus seems to be the worst in slot as it is lower than all the suggestions above.


The only question remaining is, does PoB calculate shock for 3.0? since we hit small hits, how much do we shock? It's not constant 50% increase so this is the main problem here.

How the hell do we know exactly how we shock with this build so we can know what gem is best in slot?

If shock in PoB is correct then Hypothermia is a huge increase to dps in place of Elemental Focus.


However I believe we can't shock shaper with this build because if wiki is right we would have to do 5% of his max health in 1 hit, which i'm sure we don't. That means PoB is failing when calculating shock, which is sad :(
