thinking about running this build, how hard is it REALLY to league start with it? i like to think that im an intermediate player but i do know that there is a lot i dont know, and no matter how good i get i will still be bad. this build looked fun and i wanted to try out an mf, but you saying its hard to start with scares me :(

I'd say if you can get/buy a Thief's Torment, you can easily level most bow builds (this included).

How are you guys maintaining life without using thief's torment? I'm trying to move away from it but that life on hit was a big survivability boon...

how to sustain burial in 3.6 guys?

If someone is interested: I Play this build currently in Synthesis, on a budget (Guess my gear is like 20c, maybe less).

And I have to say: I love it!!!

Especially in delve (alot of small corridors in oder to proc KB's multiexplosions) it is super effective!!

Glad you're liking the build!

I'm currently benching my KB build in favor of something a little more tanky so I can hunt some Synthesis bosses.

Would love to hear your updates!

Sure thing, thanks for your reply! On friday I found an exalted (first one this league) and heavily invested into new stuff - here is my new gear:



Speed is now even more insane! The 6th link which is now missing in barrage is not really thing.

I run like 2min per map, it is insanely fast and getting even faster (sometimes to fast) :D

I love it - most fun build I ever had!

4k HP, with a bit of care you dont die

Well, I started the league with this build - from nothing.

It worked. Without any leveling gear... I used lightning arrow and rare bows, until i got a death's opus. At 68 I switched and it was amazing (still is).

Maybe do not focus on MF in the beginning. Focus on getting well geared and that partly switch for MF

Hey thi3n i pulled up your character in 3.6 but it looks like you took it apart a bit, i was wondering if you could post what your gear was before you stopped playing KB? thanks

I saved his char as POB before he switched char. Should be the final version if not minor tweaks.

Thanks so much!

Only issue I find with this build is the life sustain. With Thief's Torment it was mostly fine with the life on hit but not sure how to move away from the Thief's Torment and not die...

That's a really fun build, easy to level up! I'm having a lot of fun :)

But I still have a question, what's the point of taking Far Shot when we have Point Blank too? One of them is useless right?

PoB has been updated.

How did you manage to keep up survivability when you were farming t16s?

It's really about balancing the stats of quant/life/damage and getting it to a point that feels comfortable for the level of content you're doing. No real "ah-ha" build defining item put it over the top. I would say getting levels and jewels really start to give the build a lot of damage but the character did take some deaths in T16. I really want to use a QotF but my fusings are being stubborn this league.

Sorry if this was asked but why do you take Point Blank since you get Far Shot from ascendancy?

I was initially leveling a ranger/raider to eventually do a MF Windripper build but I like the look of your guide a lot better. Probably less MF vs. Windripper I'm guessing, but seems like a better (and cheaper) build overall!

Point blank is for barrage. Kinetic Blast damage actually does not come from the projectile portion of the attack it's the area explosions which do not care about far shot or point blank.

not sure how to answer this question because everyone brings their own experience levels to the table. If I were to say "this build is a 7/10 hard to level" what does that even mean to you?

How are you guys maintaining life without using thief's torment? I'm trying to move away from it but that life on hit was a big survivability boon...

Typically this build survives by not taking two hits in a row. Evasion/Dodge do their part in preventing consecutive hits and your leech and leech rate heal you up to full between taking damage.

I have other youtube content around map sustain if you care to look for it. Here's an atlas strategy series with the method explained in detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8q7Uq55jUo&index=18&list=PLnoucF9SPbnvqOmhoap8j7y3gQYl_SAdh

Far Shot is for the node behind it. Point Blank is one of the best damage nodes for Barrage. Kinetic Blast actually doesn't care about either. It's just for barrage.
