Can this build do 20/20 simulacrum? And how well does it fair against T8 Sirus? Thanks for your time. Hope the injury goes well!

With waves it should be one of the best for it (especially the Gloomfang setup as at that point you're looking between 40-120% non-chaos as extra chaos, dependant on the amount of chains you have.)

For the boss Koris, I have a feeling from watching vids of the fight that cos he one shots so many people it'll be on similar level, due to the dodge/blind/evasion reducing the chance to be hit. But if you do, then splat. (If he has a charge up animation then running dash might be a necessity)

In a video I posted many pages back this easily does 600+ delve. Sadly I've not been able to test it, I got to end of Act V on Day One and fucked my arm up so I've not been able to play anything that involves rapid movement of fingers.

Edit: Update, medically I feel like I'm doing better than before so might be able to fina-fucking-ly play

I'm doing the basic crit build with opus, really enjoying it so far, thanks.

Do you think the cluster jewel combo of cold conduction+stormrider is worthwhile? It seems the best option would be disorienting display/vengeful commander/stormrider/2 sockets and medium with eye of the storm /cold conduction/jewel socket.

And any potential for a second cluster jewel setup to replace lioneye's fall, especially given redundant blind from disorienting display?

Don't use omen on the winds. It screws up chain.

Also time to replace all that levelling gear with rares with life / resists for a starter until you can afford recommended gear.

No way you should be going into maps with karui ward, double praxis, prismweave and lochtonials, these are budget levelling items with very low or no life whatsoever, biggest benefit of them is they can be equipped at low character level. That advantage is no longer important once you're 60+ and can buy rares with much more stats.

After that, change your flask setup, roll affixes on them.

well i bought this bow before stacked dex has been nerfed, whatcha think bout it, can i use it for this build?

Hi OP,

Hope you feel better soon and recover well.

I am trying out your build again, had left it in between and went for herald stacking. reached 36 challenges so back to this now.

Could you help me pick a combination of gems thats good for AOE and ST? I don't want to use 2x 6L.

I reallly hate dying so i want to build a more tanky char even as a BOW build.

Planning to use Kaom's heart for the flat 500 life. Not able to determine Ice shot 6 L which combo will be good for ST / AOE..

Also if i plan to make 'one' item set, would you recommend gloomfang or yoke?

I know don't mind having 2x 6 L as long as i can easily become tankier without sacrificing a lot of dps.

looking forward to your suggestions.

Addendum:

Maybe a 4L Ice Shot and 6L Barrage?

Also, is there a reason why we use Immortal call over Steekskin?

Thoughts on nuros harp? I have a 6L that dropped for me (I'm on Xbox) figured I could you around with it with an ice shot build or maybe some cold to fire dmg build.

Hey, thanks for the kind words, I did get better but by the time my tendons had lost the inflammation it was far enough into the league I decided to play some other games I'd either missed out on or were from the 90s and I fancied a rerun of :)
I will be back for Harvest. I miss PoE

So the AoE setup has usually ben
Ice Shot - Inc Crit - Ele Damage - Added Cold - GMP - Chain for +3/+4 (with gloomfang) chain firing 10/11 arrows with bow, ascendancy, dying sun, GMP and if you got lucky +1 arrow quiver (or super lucky with +1 chain which is the best mod on a quiver if you're Deadeye)

Then for single target, it is possible to do an Ice Shot ST with
Ice Shot - Inc Crit (if you have the 1.8% Hatred Watcher's Eye, and either +% crit to attacks on gloves or crit cluster jewels you can use Inc Crit Damage) - Ele Damage - Added Cold - Damage on Full Life/Inspiration - Hypothermia. Downside there is it requires a weapon swap due to different colours, or 2x 6L setup.

(Alternatively, it's not super optimised but I'm thinking
Ice Shot - Inc Crit Strikes (for 100% crit chance) - Ele Damage - Added Cold - GMP - Chain
Ice Shot - Inc Crit Damage - Ele Damage - Added Cold - Cold Penetration - Hypothermia.
This also allows you to swap out Ice Shot for Barrage if you don't like it etc.

If you don't use Gloomfang but keep the +20 life gained for each enemy hit by your attacks ring, a single pack can put you back to full life instantly (Barrage is also a bit broken with that as it's upto 220-260 life per barrage burst and the 0.8% leech from claw wheel)

Yoke of Suffering is for the Ele Damage can Shock so big hits is key (ST Ice Shot / Scourge Arrow is tops for that) Barrage can take advantage of Gloomfangs chain by targeting mobs and/or using Vaal Breach in boss rooms
You can also use a rare amulet but the mods you'd need for it to be superior are expensive. Something like


The new life cluster jewels help majorly for getting your HP to over 5.5 -6K, if your HP was 4532 (my standard character with shitty boots) then swapping Hyrri's Ire to Kaom's will put you at 5722 life, but it will halve your evasion rating (which imho ain't worth it) and you lose about 20% of your damage from Hyrri's. If there's a cluster jewel that increases dodge of spell and/or attacks then I'd rather go with that as we already have evasion, blind (50% increase on the evasion rating, so 50% evasion chance with blind is 75%. Then dodge on top)

The main alternative to Hyrri;s Ire is Farrul's Fur for the HP and free Frenzy/Power charge gen, 0 mana Aspect of the Cat is nice too.


----------------
This isn't serious but it technically is a strat. Drop all life nodes, go pure damage, stack out everything and go for one shot everything build.
