Just Aberrant + Corroded in a 2 socket resonator.

I ran the numbers in PoB and this bow is much much much higher damage.



I managed to 6 link it with 167 fusings.

Guess I'm all set for the game, don't need to craft another bow.

I went for Aberrant + Corroded in a 3 socket resonator and got this bow first try.


Maybe not the best bow, but it is a good one

Did you check the detailed bow crafting section in our OP?

Hello,

I am currently following your guide and having a good succes so far. I am clearing tier 15-16 maps easily. My only problem is single-target DPS. I am struggling a lot against conquerors and some bosses in maps.

Here is my actual gear :



I can't find how to link cluster jewels and regular jewels, but I also crafted 1 large cluster Jewel with 2 jewel sockets, Touch of Cruelty and Unholy Grace / 1 medium cluster with Exposure Therapy, Wicked Pall and 1 jewel socket / And 1 small cluster with Enduring Composure.

I wonder what should be my next upgrade to improve my single target DPS. I know I should go for rare 6L but survavibility is really not a problem and I am resists capped atm. I am stacking currency to directly craft a body with -# mana cost (how to craft it btw ?)

I crafted my rare bow yesterday following your guide and got this one first try, am I lucky ? Is this rare bow better than Darkscorn ?

Im also not very experimented with PoB and I can't figure out how to set it up correctly for this build, I import my character on PoB and it says something like 100k DPS and it's not possible to be that bad !

Thanks for your help and for your amazing guide


Look like you had a lucky crafting session. The bow you crafted offers higher DPS than a Darkscorn. Congratz.

Your single-target DPS looks OK. By setting your PoB with proper config, you have 3.4mil mob DPS and 2mil Sirus DPS. That explains why you had such an easy time clearing T15-16 maps. There are two things you can do to immediately improve your single-target DPS:

+ Grab an Enduring mana flask. It helps you replenish mana even at full mana. Use it until you have -mana cost chest.

+ Learn how to position your spore pods. You struggled with single targets because you got mana-blocked (see above) and seemed to not master the pod positioning yet.

If you have one arrow, your pods lie on a line. Position your release cursor such that the target stands in the middle on the pod line. That guarantees the thorn arrow from each pod hits the target. Note that only 1/9 thorn arrows from one pod can hit the same target, so a total of 5 thorn arrow hits (6 if you have the helm enchant). For more info, read the Scourge Arrow mechanics to see how you can maximize your single target DPS.

+ Get a +1 arrow from quiver (total 2 arrows) will help you position spore pods much easier in boss fight. You can V-shape the spore pods with 2 arrows.

P/S: respec the mana leech since you are not using poison Barrage and mirage archer doesn' leech to you.

Cheers


Thanks for your quick feedback.

I don't feel like I have any mana problem since I am using enduring hybrid flask.

I'll probably try to buy a decent rare quiver while stacking some currency to craft one myself, your technique for crafting quiver looks expensive and result seems RNG based.

I will also try to get better Rings with some damages on them too.

For gloves should i get myself some despair on hit Embalmer or should I go straight to Fenumus ?


And a last maybe stupid question : How do you alternate between using blast rain and scourge arrow ? I usually use Blast rain once in a while and spam Scourge, but is it the best way to dps ?

Yes. I have BR on left click, SA on right click.

I feel the best way is to:

1) Use Blast Rain
2) Spam 5 times 1 stack SA (if you have enchant)
3) Spam full stacks SA

its bad and better roll right?
Build update for 3.11:

So far I have A5 Sirus down, and running through maps easily. Thoughts on some differences I utilized this league from the end of last league, where I went fully what Wolife suggested:

1. I really like the profane chemistry wheel. I'll take the 14% health and 8% flask effect over the 15% health for example.
2. Wolfie likes to save the points and go underneath Entropy. I really love the QoL skill duration gives with blast rain, so I do path through Entropy.
3. Wind Dancer feels huge
4. As mentioned a few pages back, I have a real personal problem dealing with Dash and Sirus. Like... i know its me, since everybody else is fine with it. But I CONSTANTLY dash and kill myself.
5. As per above, i switched to a withering step as my main move skill, and OMG what a difference. Even though this build is great, I always feel a bit clunky with dash. Now that is gone. Spots I used to dash around the edge of mobs and shoot, i now withering step through the mobs, who get withered and die from my original blast instantly, while I run right through them. Feels terrific. And other than the phase 4 cross flames, withering step feels great for me against Sirus. Deathless easily first try after adding it.
6. Absolutely love the corrupted Drillneck w/ pierce damage implicit. Crushes it mapping. For those having trouble bossing, I recommend Wolfie's two arrow setup. I personally think its overkill once you're used to arrow placement, BUT still may do a swap later for Sirus and other tough bosses.
7. I actually prefer temp chains to despair as my curse. Every once in a long while before, I would run into deaths. With temp chains, and even without getting hardened scars yet, this nearly never happens. And it happens even less with withering step.
8. I also highly, highly prefer the 40% scourge arrow damage to the +1 pods. Why? I was always very worried about getting to 5 pods for the extra 6th. In the long run, holding it too long was costing me DPS and life. And of course, shooting early we get nothing out of it. Switching to 40% damage made me feel a lot less pressured to be perfect. Again though - my switch is not a paper DPS increase, its a fairly significant decrease. For me it plays much better.

I realize this is made much more for this league, and NOT for Delirium 100% / Simulacrum. But id like to try it this way later with better gear. It is still lacking in a lot of areas, but honestly, for me, it feels even better than last league for most content. The next upgrade would be the neck and followed by hardened scars for me. Then a -15 chest, followed by fenumus gloves. But im shelving the guy for a bit, as my hands are tired :) Will be back in a few weeks for upgrades and to check this thread for new ideas. Thanks again Wolfie!

You don't want bleeding mod. I wonder which crafting method you used because if you follow our crafting method, there is no chance bleeding would appear in the rolls.

I don't think this is the best way. You don't block physical and let bleeding mods into the rolling pools.

The correct way is shown in the crafting section:

The best strat for crafting such bow is fossil-crafting. You'd go with a 3-socket resonators:

+ Abberanth Fossil: more chaos, no lightning
+ Metalic Fossil: more lightning, no phys
+ Corroded Fossil: more poison, no ele

The most important mods you want to land on the rare: "60% chance poison inflicted with this weapon to deal double damage", T1 added chaos damage, T1 increased chaos damage/poison on hit chance.

Then bench-craft +40% chaos DoT multiplier.

If you are super rich and want the absolute best, you can go with 4-socket resonators:

+ Abberanth Fossil: more chaos, no lightning
+ Metalic Fossil: more lightning, no phys
+ Corroded Fossil: more poison, no ele
+ Shuddering Fossil: more speed, no mana (for attack speed mod)

Note that the 3-socket reso crafting method above should be able to produce the bow that help you cruise through all end-game challenges. Only go with 4-socket reso if you are really ready to spend a lot more currency for a small increase.

In Harvest league, it may be possible to craft an even better bow.


I'm at work at this moment. So sorry for my brevity.

Wish you all a good crafting session.
