[3.25]g00fy_goober's EleBuzzsaw Deadeye (Easily Clear All Content) *REVAMPED AGAIN*

Regards mind drinker, to clarify my earlier thinking - mana can be an issue without Lycosidae as you don't hit as much so therefore get less mana back per attack. Provided your aim is consistently good it is not a problem - i had one ammy with -9mana cost to help in last league, nothing on rings. That work but I also found I needed to add more leech nodes, therefore losing some dps/life, in order to sustain 6th gem.
If you have lycosidae then should be excellent in balance (i think) so ignore mind drinker.
It is simply a lot closer to nodes you would be taking so if needed is only 2 extra nodes.

I will have to have a closer look at maim etc for tombfists, I think I missed that in their usage. I also use gripped last time as I never did find a 2 link tomb (play violins). With a full 3 months avaliable to me in next league then maybe I will get them(stop violins).

Another option - which I have not played on PoB with yet, is your attacks don't miss on a claw. I think this was a veiled mod in betrayal but was something like 3ex to craft, plus you lose a mod. I had been lucky to get a mid high tier claw that ticked all the prescribed mods in this build, so kinda stopped looking for other possible claws.

In order to fill 6th gem slot i opted for cull in the end as it had low mana inc% and was very useful. But maths would show that light pen would be awesome. With our curse now allowing formore dmg on bosses I wonder though if light pen would still be as beneficial now?

Again, I stuggle to combine all these facets of building to make it work so someone would need to figure it out/test it. Being SSF (average) player, I may not get another 6 link of any use so hoping someone can figure this out.

Thanks in advance to those who do.

EDIT:- re phd in maths - I think Brexit would be easier to figure out than leech!

Wonder, if it can be done with Scion: Raider and, i.e. Elementalist (to nullify Elem reflect) or Assassin (to remove reflect from crits)

Would be answer to myself: seems not.
The best I was able to get is https://pastebin.com/KrqUdQZT Raider-Sin
And it has much lower DPS (500k less, even with Power charges), also as a bit lower life and leech.
From the positive side: better resists and +1 jewel socket.

Also, tried to make Raider-Elem (for better elem pen and +1 golem), but results were even worse.

Seems, nothing can beat double Onslaught effect from pure Raider.

Probably, I did something wrong there...

Just noticed that some nodes will be changed in 3.6:
Sniper and Nullification cluster replaced with Lethal Assault and Resourcefulness cluster.

Not sure of impact - i am an amatuer with this stuff. Will keep scanning for other changes.

Keep up excellent work on this fun build.

I was able to rejoin the game 5 weeks late into 3.5 (Betrayal) and respec to this about 2 weeks after that and still get 33 challenges in pure SSF. Could not have done that without this build and guide. Thank you.

Additional since first posting:
Mind drinker has moved closer to shadow jewel socket - does not affect your listed build but could be easy grab for any mana issues (thinking of SSF here).


Could gripped gloves be a replacement for tomb fists - now that tombs no longer have att speed?

"Monster Changes:
Bosses which previously had 60% or 80% less effect of curses on them now have 33% or 66% less effect of curses on them respectively. This includes map bosses, Incursion architects, Betrayal targets, Breachlords, Shaper, Elder and others."
- WooHoo more damage for us on bosses?

And finally:

"Added a cap on the amount of any resource you can leech from any individual instance of leech. By default, that cap is 10% of that resource's maximum. In other words, a character with 4000 life will, by default, be able to leech a maximum of 400 life from a single hit."

I struggle to understand leech mechanics anyway - will this be a problem or require some changes?

Thank you again.

Your very welcome, glad to hear you like the build. I will change/fix up the trees later tonight now that POB and such was updated. Tombfists losing attack speed definitely makes me sad, but with 2 jewels + 10% MORE damage is still the clear winner by a long shot.

Tree + POB link updated for new tree.

As a league start, how fast does this get to maps? I've rolled a few trial characters today and Spectral Throw seems to trail behind alternatives, both in single and multi target damage.

Could very well be a PEBKAC issue, but I'm interested in hearing any thoughts on leveling.

Btw, the most penalty to ranged damage from Point Blank is -50% damage, not -100%.

Leveling is not to bad as long as you periodically upgrade your weapon and have some decent ele dps on it. That being said it is still an attack. Most spells are super easy to level with because they get so much extra damage each level where as attacks get % base dmg meaning it goes off your gear.

So ST works fine to level with but it will not be anywhere near to something like BV and single target is pretty meh until you swap for slower projectiles and get some ok gear/levels.

So if you are racing to get to maps in like 4-5 hours this is probably not the best. If you are fine taking your time, not in a rush and just playing through, then it should be fine.

Unless I am missing something i dont ever remember saying you get -100% dmg from point blank. It would literally mean that after a certain distance you stop doing damage period lol.

Hey. I'm really interested about the build, however i'm a bit concerned about the build scaling to end game. What kind of 'investment' will get me through T16/ Shaper? I mean just so it is decently do-able with ''budget'' gear and avarage game knowledge and mechanics.

It's on the pic with explanation of the Point Blank work - could be missleading for newbies :)

This build seems awesome!
This is going to be the first build I'm going to really play seriously now that I understand most of the mechanics of the game! (started around 2 weeks ago)
