*Updated for 3.2* Volkuur's poison! millions of dps (7.5 mil shaper - 20 mil shaper GG gear)

Considering this build as a second char, do you think I can start with ~200c at the current market for lightning version?

- Thief's Torment: ~30
- Volkuur's Guidance, Lightning: ~25
- Tabula (to be upgraded to 6L quill rain): already
- Vinktar: ~25c
- Abyss Jewels (double dmg mod, no life): ~20 (x5)
+ the rest

Lightning jewels tend to be more expensive than fire ones, because KB wanders use them as well. I don't know if that's still the case after the nerf, but you REALLY want to check that out before committing to anything. Fire is a cheaper alternative with almost exactly the same DPS, because Immolate is a very powerful gem. The little slice of fire damage from The Effigon also helps.


Also, you DO NOT want to spend money on no-life jewels. The build is already squishy at the best of times, Delve isn't exactly friendly towards low-EHP characters, and a large chunk of your mandatory gear doesn't have an HP roll on it.

What do you guys think about using Queen of the Forest instead of Hyrri's Ire?
It would allow us to drop purity of elements since it has a decent amount of res and life which we desperately need and then we could perhaps use Alchemist Jade flask of reflexes and Grace aura which would net us ~37k evasion and a lot of move speed. EDIT: but we would have to drop herald of ice too so idk..

So basically, these are our options for unique body armors:

Hyrri's Ire
+ Dodge chance (capped dodge with vaal grace)
- No life or res
Queen of the Forest
+ Life, res, huge evasion and MS boost
- Gives no dps
Belly of the Beast
+ ~700-800 more life than Hyrri's, ~500 life more than QoTF, decent res
- No DPS
- Gore effect looks ugly
Loreweave
+ Decent damage boost, mitigation (80% to all max res)
- none (?)

I'd add Kaom's Heart into the pool. Having 2 separate Quill Rains for Ice Shot and Barrage should be perfectly viable, iirc. It's also the cheapest way of getting 6-links.

Having said that, I'm not entirely convinced that Quill Rain is the best weapon, anymore. The new fossil mods are pretty interesting.

Idk, I really like this cold setup with Ire. It's so much better than running cloak of defiance and fire imo. Being dodge capped for bosses is so op.

If you aren't dead set on a linked Agony, you could run HoI, Agony and POE with an enlighten 3. This is actually what I'll be switching to shortly, as I don't really feel Agony bro is super op anymore as far as it's attacks go. The passive bonuses are still really good to have, obviously.

The damage from a 20/20 HoI is too much for me to ignore.

As for qotf, I don't really feel it's necessary. We already have a decent amount of evasion, chill, perma-blind and very high dodge. You can still end up res-capped with a two socket bubonic and one rare piece.

Belly and Loreweave are meh for this build imo. One shots are going to happen whether you have 4.3k life or 5.5k.

Aw yea!

Soo i have a question guy's if i go full cold dmg and add Herald of ice to setup they will shatter like on normal mf tornado shot setups ??

Only occasionally due to most things dying from poison but the ones you get do help. We take it more for the flat cold dmg and quality than for the shatters.

If you look at one of the first spoilers in the thread you'll see the build changed to Assassin in 3.2. It just still happens to be in the ranger section.

Here's a pob for the cold version that a few of us switched to try this league.
