[3.13] Doomfletch Split Arrow Mines - Starter Viable - End Game Capable - High Damage, Low Budget

hey blaydex

thanks for the guide im enjoying it!
ive been running your build im at lvl94 now at awakening 6. but im missing 1k life (5.1k) and having a hard time with sirus. any points for recommendation? im also at console. can't find any better gear that i have right now with exception to ryslatha's which im saving for now. can't pob my char no laptop to use.

looking forward for your recommendations.

Current Work in progress, seems i can clear pretty much anything quickly at this point, gonna finish min maxing it up. For a budget build this is going to be a new go to for me.

An Ice Shot Miner with this as a base could be extremely good and perhaps better at higher end...

Very nice build, enjoying it and doing some good dps at T16. The only thing I'm not really getting is the DPS against bosses (map bosses) are not that good and I can't figure out why. The Barrage on my second slot Doomfletch is worse than using my regular Split arrow. Of course the quality on my bow could matter, and I think one of my gems on the Barrage bow is a bit low. Would you recommend a above 20 level gems on the Barrage bow too? I'm pretty satisfied overall, just wish I could do some more dmg. My rings, amulet and boots could be better of course, just sucks in the elemental resist department atm!

what helped me a lot with barrage is switching out minefield with swift assembly (charged mines is also a good option, it feels like). this felt soooo much smoother. just being able to move around better made a huge difference instead of using the clear version of split arrow for bosses. got me my first sirus kill at awakening level 5. only died once because of a dumb mistake. awesome build.

Two quick questions:

(1) Somehow I seem to be spawning Sentinels, which I thought wasn't supposed to happen without doing direct damage. I don't think I'm doing any direct damage. Any thoughts?

(2) Attack speed is useless to us, right? So quality on Split Arrow itself is also worthless?

Yes, we don't directly attack, the mines do.

Alright, I managed to make my (not very expensive) interpretation of BlaydeX15's build work with machina mitts. It's true you lose some damage, but you do more than enough for up to T13 mapping that I've tried. The survivability you get though is huge, especially for those maps with lower life recovery rate. Just the potions don't really cut it imho, I was dying too often without leech.

Some notes:
- resistances can be tough to max especially if you also give the gloves away (we have belt, ring, gloves and armor without res bonuses).
- life is also a bit tough to increase, especially after 5500 or so. This means you can still get one-shoted in the reds if you're too careless or if your hardware is too laggy like mine

Hi. I have a Question, how Important is high level Precision?
Also, I got an Enlighten 4 and max Roll Reservation for HoP on the Ring, gives me lot of Mana left over. Do you think a Banner would benefit this Build, and if yes which one?
Also, how do you feel about (as a last Goal, when reaching high Level maybe 100) going to Skill Blast Cascade (5 Points) and Annoint Destructive Appartus instead? (20% Damage, 10% Throw Speed, reduced Damage applied to Enemies)
What would you skill if you reach level 98 or even 100? Maybe Acuity for more added Damage by our Jewel and more Accuracy, or is it not worth it?

Also, you write that we sit on about 6.5k Life. I got good Rolls on my Pieces, and missing only 2 Passive Points that give 9%, sitting only on 5.5k while already using Kaom's Heart. I mean, I at most got about 10 Life missing on each Slot, thats 50 Life, with about 160% increased from Tree I can't see why I am missing 1k Life. My PoB if you would take a look: https://pastebin.com/BgDjLTZ1

Last Question, how did you calculate your DPS? How can I do it?
I mean, Damage is quite good I not gonna lie, with Support Gems still leveling for me I was able to run Red Maps already.
But Friends keep asking how is my Damage, and I am also interested.

Hi,

Thank again for the build, I enjoy it a lot


Here is my stuff



life: 5.6k life

I made a small change I removed smoke mine, i wasn't using it, by Frenzy to create frenzy charge, and I took frenetic in the tree instead of Winter Spirit.
It is a good boost in damage, only cons is that you have to keep doing Frenzy in addition to other action.
PoB w/o frenzy : 583k dps
PoB w/ frenzy: 651k (4 charges) can go up to 5 (if level 97)

I try currently looking to improved survival... looking at cluster jewels ... anyone ideas?
Anyway I did manage to kill Sirus by myself at awaken 6, next step is Uber Elder.

"

why I am missing 1k Life.

I found some point missing in your tree and you are level 89, you will more life bonus at level 97

PoB damage calculation I check "Average Damage" from the build, also check "configuration" section to enable "falsk active", "Chilled", and other stuff
