[3.11] YABB (Yet Another Bow Build) +5/+6 Ice Shot Chaingunner Delve 600+ Updated for 3.11

Hey,
Haven't played POE for like 2-3 years and started with this build. Got some lucky drops and grinded hard and i am very satisfied with how it goes. I can do basically all maps fluently without dying - maybe some boss mechanics get me sometime.
Can you check my char (haoticKRK) for some improvements?
I got rid of gloomfang so my shaper ring is useless now i think.
I mostly fear i've got too low crit chance (75 with crit support, 55 without)
Any help would be usefull.
THANKS!

Hi, just wanna share some thoughts and my progression throughout the league, since I see that a lot of people are struggling with single target. So I hope this post will give you a better idea how Ice Shot should be built if you really wanna handle end game content well. I am not saying this is the 100% correct way, but it's just some thoughts from my own experience and perspective.

Today I killed Shaper and AW lvl 8 Sirus and not too long ago I was struggling even with AW lvl 4 Sirus, but these changes seemed to work wonders for me.

First of all, without heavy investment you won't be able to achieve it, there's no other way around it. In order to deal good single target damage you need 1) very high crit chance 2) very high crit multiplier 3) the more AS you have the better 4) flat cold/phys into cold damage multipliers. You want your hits to hit HARD and that's the only true way to melt bosses.

My current gear which I will try to go into depth below:



Now, the most two important parts I found are:

1) Farrul's setup - it just simply puts the build into a whole new level (I am sure there will be different opinions about it). The cat buff gives absolutely everything you want and most importantly it gives you crit stats which are mega important if you want to delete bosses quickly. Ire is also really really good, but IMO Farrul's just provides so much more and we can heavily benefit from that.

2) Cluster jewels - I cannot stress enough how insane they are. You can take a different approach and go with the cold nodes, but Pressure Points and Precise Commander is just the best thing you can possibly put on this character. Double of that gives you 10% double damage, 210%!!! crit strike chance and 30% crit strike multiplier, it's just simply insane. I crafted my large cluster with 50 alts, so if you are low on budget, just buy bases and give it a shot.

I had to sacrifice a lot of life nodes and have only 3.666 life, so I do die from time to time in t16 juiced Deliriums, but hey, that will always be the downside of the build.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions and I hope this post will give you a better idea about ST.

TL;DR - Crit chance, crit multiplier, flat damage scaling, AS

Ok, I'll be back tomorrow, I know I missed a large chunk of the league but I needed to let my RSI heal properly (claw gripping and using Mouse 4 for my ST was what caused it)

Upside gave me time to clear Doom Eternal a few times so my FPS fix is done for now.

Will be starting where I was end of Day 1 so the highlight videos are probably gonna be a bit odd, but shouldn't take me too long to get some gears and catch up a bit.

After getting my chaingunner done and delving down to 500-1000 gonna work on my next char, The Return of the Cospri CoC Discharger

Why don't you use mirage archer for the clear setup?

I´m very new to bow builds and i literally dont know when to use yoke or the Gloomfang and which gem setupss are best for my current gear playing slt barrage maybe someone can check my prof and help me a bit .

Hi everyone. Great build, Ive been trying it our in SSF standard.
I am wondering, how would the windripper perform for a version leaning on MF? I cant judge it clear-vise, by loosing additional arrows

Depends on the playstyle - since skills already chain three times you are clearing everything three screens away anyway, I prefer to have more DPS/Pen which helps against everything.

Mirage archer is only useful during levelling, after level 38 when you have Chain Support it becomes a wasted link, the low fire rate alone makes it quite janky and by the time you get to +3 Chain with Ricochet you're better off going for pure crit to chain them HoI explosions. If you go with the Gloomfang setup and have +4 then you're gonna have cleared everything that Mirage archer won't do anything.

The reason why we use it on Scourge Arrow is you only need to fire once with SA and it'll do a full 5 stack charged shot making use of the 750% more multiplier

Windripper sucks balls now, if you're on standard and have one with 80% Inc Crit then sure as you can drop Inc Crit Strikes in favour of Inc Crit Damage to compensate but unless you're planning to do White maps constantly there is no point, you'll make more currency by using a better bow and farming faster.

Always have your single target in the 6 Link, it's the one that needs the most damage multipliers.

Gloomfangs clear always has been
Yoke is ST, if you have trouble with ST on Gloomfang switch, that's about it really.
