[3.11] Aquarism's Ice Shot [All Content]

What did it cost? Everything. After ~20 split beasts, averaging 1.5x on console and numerous useless slams. I got a 6% dps boost from my 30q opus. I honestly should have skipped the t3 Wed, but you can only miss so many 50:50 annuls in a row before you just say fuck it.

To be fair though, I do notice a slight difference in TTK on mobs that matter. Probably should have prioritized other upgrades before embarking on this currency sink.

And this is why i doubt that crafting abow is worth it for short term. The investment is so massive but u need an amazing craft to get a decent increase over a top roll unique. I am using some dex stacking for easy item acquisition. I would love to have a nice 2-4 per 10 dex bow....but i am certainly not going to pay for middle of the road item or try to craft one myself. Easier just to roll with it.

All content can be done with just an opus

So i finally got my character to a level where i can start farming burial chambers. I got about 21 ex to spend, eventually ill like to take down endgame content once i get to that point, any recommendations to upgrade?

If anything looks odd, its because half the gear was salvaged from my ED/CON trickster, in my skill tree im using a Green Nightmare so i figure i eventually want to get off that once i get a frenzy on crit quiver.

Put catalysts on your rings and amulets for more damage/res,
allocate throatseeker on ammy try and get all your damage gems qualitied for a huge damage boost look for a voidfletcher with any implicit other than base implicit something like this can be a bit expensive but literally anything is better than pierce as it gimps the voidshot.

this bow I crafted is only about 10% more dps than a deaths opus but it was fun to craft so who knows if it was worth it.

Hey i really like your build, love the clear. but i dont know how to get close to your damage. i have like 40% of your dps with ice-shot clear. even though i tried to get the similar item(may it be on a smaller budget).

could you take a quick look why i am lacking in dmg so much?

hope you can help ^^

You need to configure POB properly, charges, flasks up, onslaught, enemey chilled/shocked.

In your iceshot links you have the "barrage" skill gem not the "barrage support" gem.

Drop mana flask for diamond flask, thats a HUGE amount of damage one point into mana leech should solve any mana issues you have until you get lv 4 enlighten.

Thanks for the reply, gonna look into it!

Thanks, yeah I bought the voidfletcher before I realized about Pierce with the build, hell even with that it was a nice does boost I kind of like it.

I'm wondering if I should get a rare quiver or just get a nicer voidfletcher like you said since I have a green nightmare, I guess I should.

I'll work on the gem quality, I finished all 10 acts by level 60 or something with only 1 lab done, so I just blew through the maps to power level. I feel really stupid because at one point I think I had both an awakened chain support and cold damage support on my first character and sold them, then I got burnt out on that build.

Man I'm sick of getting one shotted

For frenzy charges generation, you can use this alternative: Thread of Hope jewel with medium radius + Disciple of the Slaughter.

Basically this allows you to save the skill points around "Fury bolts", and still get the life nodes above, plus you get +1 minimum Frenzy/Endurance charges, and Frenzy/Endurance charges on kill.

Here's a screenshot:

Once I get cluster jewel with Cold Conduction and Stormrider should I change my ring with assassin's mark to another curse? if yes, which one?

Honestly I want to love this build but it is extremely mediocre. The repetive nerf on death opus and Hyrris ire made the damage output very low and now you need a tons of investment to have a decent build. And you will get one shoted.

If you're looking for a bow build, go, you will still enjoy it, if you want to to clear stuff quick, then check for any archmage build as they will do the job faster with a lot more survivability.

Wouldn't be surprised if archmage gets nerfed next patch just after heralds of lols. Same what happened to skeletons / baron build. Or if they want to be funny they'll nerf stormbrand, orb of storms or arc again to the point they'll be gutted completely (arc was for a while).
