Ok Vei,

What one should I use?



Thanks!
I am not Anti-Social, I am just selective on whom I wish to be social with.
Use the divergent one.
just wanted to thank you that you supported this build further, started it as my second character. t15/16 maps going through like a breeze, did my first sirus right (a5 only, died 3 times due my own struggle with the boss-mechanics) and overall pretty happy. think i will stop investing i dont need any more dmg.

This build went from being amazing in heists to quite squishy after the patch. I died 3 times in a couple hundred heists up till the patch yesterday. Since the patch I've died in like 6 out of 18 heists. People were joking about the league starting yesterday, for me it was more like the league ending.

edit* It occurred to me I hadn't upgraded any of my gear in over a week and a half - I got new boots, a new quiver, a new ring, a stygian vice and a prismatic jewel and significantly increased my DPS and defense - I'm back to slaying without a worry again :)


Great to hear that its working well again after those upgrades! :)

Hey Ahewaz!

The Divergent Ballista Totem will be the best option :)

Awesome to hear that you are happy with the build! Hope it continues to serve you well. :)

Sidenote to all:

I added a new section "Upgrade Reference List", it's in "Part 3" of the guide, can't believe I ran out of Space in Part 2! XD

"What should I upgrade?" is definitely the top most asked question and I think this will be a very handy reference on what to look for to upgrade.

FINALLY! Had to buy it but I do not care... This league is a loot pinata.

I am not Anti-Social, I am just selective on whom I wish to be social with.
So I made it to lvl 96 the other night, the next morning I went to go check on PoE ninja to see how I compared to other people playing this build and I noticed something was a little off about my notable passives... Turns out I never allocated Avatar of Fire.

So yeah, I managed to go from 840k dps to 1150k dps in PoB with that one point and now I'm paranoid that I may be making some other completely bone-headed mistake. It seems most people above me in DPS are going for a more OneShotKill edition with point blank and bottled faith - I am as of yet undecided if I want to go for this or keep it nice and lazy with Vei's normal version.

Also, I have discovered one problem I personally have with this build that has started to cause me some consternation - I think it may be a little too fast and too powerful and when I am really zooming in a highly populated area I can feel my computer and the PoE servers start to wage war with each other. I keep pushing and I feel a tiny bit of input delay here and a tiny bit of lag there, and then its like it all eventually builds up to a breaking point and then there's either a complete pause in the game or the game speeds up and plays out 10 seconds of saved up gameplay and my character gets killed in an instant, or my character runs off into the darkness of a delve and dies to darkness stacks while I am unable to do anything. I have all of my options set to low and have even tried lowering my resolution but it doesn't seem to be an issue on my end, it seems this build just pushes the PoE servers a tiny bit too hard and it ends poorly for my character. This has become especially bad as I try to delve deeper and faster -- the likelihood of a lag/freeze/overload has been getting worse and worse.
Does this sound reasonable or do you think it actually is my computer's fault? I don't have a ridiculous computer but a ryzen 1600x + gtx1060 should be pretty decent at running a 7 year old game on minimum settings at 1080p methinks and my internet is in general pretty quality.

Hi Vei, I want to ask something about the timeless jewel.

Now I have 2 good options:-
1. Provides 20% totem damage + 5% chance to deal double damage
2. 10% chance to intimidate + 20% fire resistance.


Which one should I use?
Thanks.

My experience for that "10 second catch up" situation seems to only happens in two scenarios:

1. When I start to get bad lag spikes, when that happens the "10 second catch up" occurs whenever I engage like 3+(estimated) packs of mobs. My normal latency is 16-33ms and at those latency I have no problems even if the screen is really crazy.

2. When it's really really really LOTS of monster, more than the usual full screen of monsters, maybe 3 screens(Using 2560*1440 Resolution) worth of concentrated monsters(Estimated) in one screen. This don't really happen normally unless I try to drag all the monsters to one location.

As for delving, I don't encounter the issue unless it lags like in Point 1 above. I tend to follow behind the Crawler normally though and don't explore darkness. Deepest Depth I did was 460 and everything was fine.


I am using the following:

Configuration/Info
- Lockstep
- Most graphic settings set to highest except Anti-Aliasing and Shadows(Off or Lowest)
- Average Frame Rates are 30-60 in hideout, 15-30 during combat

PC Config
Core i3-4150
GTX 960 4Gb

These are my experiences with the "10 second catch up" scenarios.

Just an idea, something maybe you can consider trying to see if it helps, is swapping to a max 50% attack speed Storm Cloud. It's roughly equal to Quill Rain in terms of DPS, just missing those Proj Speed, Dex, Flat Acc on Quill Rain. It's a slower bow so less taxing on the calculations.

Hey komitid,

I extracted your character into POB to work out the numbers, shaper DPS as follows:

1. Provides 20% totem damage + 5% chance to deal double damage - 1.071m
2. 10% chance to intimidate + 20% fire resistance. - 1.108m

So Intimidate wins in terms of DPS, the additional 20% fire resist bonus is nice too. :)

P.S. One of your ring slot is empty so I just put the other ring you using on the empty ring slot for the above calculations.

Cheers

Ok Vei... What do I upgrade next? Should I change my tree?

Hey Ahewaz,

Here would be my suggestions:

สปอยล์
1. For your Passive Tree, if you don't have plans to get the Whirling Barrier and Counterweight Notable with the Lioneye's Fall Jewel, then the 7 Points there, 3 from Lioneye's Fall Jewel Socket, 4 from Disemboweling Notable would be better moved to take Heartseeker + Primeval Force(Upper Path) Notable instead as that provides more DPS, 787k DPS versus your current 741k DPS.

That said, if you have no intention to get any chance to block at all(Rumi's Concotion, Rearguard Quiver), then getting Acrobatics/Phase Acrobatics Keystone instead of Iron Reflex Keystone might work better if you are looking to improve your defenses.


2. A Murderous Eye Abyssal Jewel with Taunt on Hit, helps with reducing damage taken as our Totems can then taunt the enemy, making Taunted enemies deal 10% less damage to targets that aren't the source of the taunt. Also go for Blind on Hit on the Jewel if you drop Iron Reflex for Acrobatics/Phase Acrobatics. These are also if you are looking to improve your defenses.


3. A Corrupted Quill Rain with 18% Critical Strike Implicit, the Attack Speed Corrupted Implicit on your current one gives little DPS.


4. If crafting is your cup of tea, you can try crafting non influenced Item Level 86+ Spike-Point or Penetrating Quivers with Deafening Essence of Doubt which guarantees 481-600 Flat Accuracy on it. This is higher than what is normally able to be rolled on a Quiver which is just 351-480.

In leagues with mechanics which drop materials freely, like Delirium and this league, etc, the essence will be cheap, like 1c each.

The result we want to aim for is Tier 1/2 30%+ Critical Strike Multiplier and 2 out of 3 of the following:

- 37%+ increased Elemental Damage with Attack Skills(Prefix)
- 80+ Life(Prefix)
- 11%+ Attack Speed (Suffix)

Bench Craft the missing affix on the bow, then followed by this optional step which is to use an Hunter's Exalted Orb on it if it has a remaining open Prefix(Suffix needs to be full) for 50% chance of useful mods(Or 100% useful mods if one is capping Chaos Resist)

This below Quiver of mine was crafted during Delirium with the Essence, after which I throw a Hunter's Orb on it and gotten one of the two best result(10% Movespeed), a pretty amazing lucky craft.





Other than the above, you can check out the Medium/Low Value ones I mentioned here for more ideas

Hope these helps.
