[3.5] Hopeshredder Scourge Arrow | Fast beefy Mapper | Deathless Uber Elder (5M+ Shaper DPS)
Spoiler
" Alright there's a lot here so while I'd like to start from the top, I want to make sure everyone is aware I didn't copy your build or anyone elses. The main reason I love and play Path of Exile is because of how much I like making my own builds from the ground up, and while our builds are definitely similar,(I even slot in RoA sometimes if I feel like it) I'm assuring you it's complete coincidence. If it wasn't your intention to call me out on this and I took it the wrong way I'm sorry. With that out of the way, thanks for the analysis and insight, I forgot about accuracy when I did my quiver shopping which is why I couldn't get one that closely compared to a Hyrri's that had my corrupt implicit and I'll definitely be taking a second look at that. The thing I'm going to butt heads with you on however, is the Shock. I fully understand how Shock works and that it's unrealistic to ever get a maximum Shock on an endgame boss(this is actually my first build ever that utilizes Shock due to the fact that I mainly play attack-based builds and consider Shock extremely unreliable on them) but there are definitely skills than can make it worth it; namely skills that can deal a huge amount of damage within a single hit like Flameblast. I will admit I don't achieve 50% shock against many endgame bosses, but there's a little bit more to it than that. Firstly, the first shot in Scourge Arrow is a high-damage one hit skill, currently averaging out to 536k shaper damage in PoB BEFORE applying any sort of Shock. Assuming a boss like Shaper with 20 million hp, 536k damage is roughly 2.5% of his life, that alone will apply a Shock with a 12.5% more multiplier, and keep in mind this is just the average. A crit, especially one that rolls higher base damages will be much higher, then upon applying the initial Shock the effect can snowball from there, potentially applying higher and higher Shocks. Again, despite all of this 50% is for sure unrealistic, but at the very minimum a 20-25% more multiplier(achievable by dealing 4-5% of targets max hp in a single hit) is very much achievable with Scourge Arrow even against endgame bosses. Also I have been looking into Unnatural Instinct quite a bit and can definitely see the value it has in the top-left of the Scion wheel, but considering the price tag, I'm going to play with it in PoB a little more before deciding whether I really want it or not. Lastly when adding it all up for the "5m+ shaper DPS" in my title, I did checkmark Shaper/Guardian in PoB, I unchecked it before I imported the build into pastebin to see normal values and I will fix that. Once again, thanks for your advice, I'll definitely take everything you said into more consideration. Editado por útlima vez por SkillshotsOP en 28 sept. 2018 20:40:51

Hey, this build looks awesome.
I'm working on leveling and I was wondering... I can't afford to buy a 6L Hopeshredder right now on top of everything else. Would it be the worst thing ever to buy a 6L Belly as a temporary chest piece and just use a 5L bow until I can afford to make the switch? If I did that, what would you suggest I put into the extra 5L? Thanks! Edit: Nevermind, just bought a Hopeshredder. Editado por útlima vez por toitus en 29 sept. 2018 12:39:39

Looks interesting, can you post a Map clear pls so I can look at the clearspeed :)

I am following your build and I am at lvl 50 now. Toxic rain is filling lacking in dps and I don't know if I can't last until I get Hopeshredder. I tried to use Scourge Arrow with Quill rain but it has even less damage and I can't leech at all. What did you use for leveling?

" I'm working on getting more videos up, so I'll try to get a decent map clear clip as well. |

" If you're really struggling, try using The Tempest or a Doomfletch. |

So far so good, the leveling was super easy and mapping is very easy as well, I'm now level 80 and hoping this'll be my first 90 or even 100 character. I've seen some people having trouble in the comments.
For leeching I just spammed mana and life flasks for a while until around 65 when my leech was good enough to drop my mana flask completely. Other than that I can't see why damage would be bad unless you don't have the key items like the 3 Might of the Meek gems which really do help a ton. I'll post my gear so far below, looking to either get a kaom's or maybe an inpulsa with a nice health quiver after I 6L this Hopeshredder Also the frost bomb tip really helps a ton against bosses and tanky enemies. I started using it late and regret not using it sooner but, you can get some insane burst from firing max pods then putting down a frost bomb right after on the enemy.

dont know which one i choose, this or rain of arrows.
How deep u go? already have 6L hope shredder and kaoms, more 15ex is enough? |

" As Guffin stated earlier, his RoA build and my build are pretty similar, even our 6 link colors are the same which makes switching out Rain of Arrows and Scourge Arrow really easy. Also if you already have a 6l Hopeshredder and Kaom's you've got most of the core items, I'd say your next priority should be for sure 3 Might of the Meek jewels (which currently cost around 2ex each) and a 2 socket Tombfist (which usually costs a little more than 1ex) and you should be good to go. |
