Wanted to give you some realistic situations in full at the start of the video so you can see what the build looks like in actual content with boss difficulty levels and 6 map mods, not just people blasting low tier maps or +0 difficulty bosses, hope you enjoy the build!
what is the advantage/reason for a second Crossbow, the look so similar.
Running a similar build, also lvl 89. I'm only at boss level +1 so currently don't feel like I need a specific boss-setup. Would be nice though. Differences:
– I'm going ES/EVA, trickster style, wind dancer + ghost shroud is so good (while also still needing STR for crossbows — so obviously I'm taking that node which gives +dmg for lowest stat. Should have gone gemling legionnaire to get the extra life :()
– I do use a Dyad crossbow on purpose, love the extra bolt.
– I use Freezing mark on tough yellows and bosses to freeze them easier
Tip: To get to 'Authority', if you go through the left-hand side, you get an extra + area of effect node, rather than area damage 😀
Btw, doesn't it bother you that so many random items are still shown by your filter? :p Have a look at poe2filter dot com — an easy to use custom loot filter generation website that I made, curious to hear what you think 🙂
honestly, a good build, but a bit on the slow side for map clearing it seems (compared to other builds, this build is not bad by any means, the boss damage was spicy, but for a projectile based build. I was hoping for faster map clears T_T) (you are aware of this and thats fine, i am just saying this for anyone else reading)
I think Sorcery Ward is just a feel bad. I rather have a shiled that is less powerful, but not have the downside of less Armor and Evasion
Don't know about gameplay but fashion of cloak of flame is nuts😅
The sound of shotgun when you are deleting the whole screen is soooo satisfying 🤤🤤🤤
Actually I wanted to to find another build because the storm wave invoker is a bit boring.
Absolutely love this build. I was playing a variation of glacial bolt + frag rounds during campaign but I thought I'm going to have to respec to grenades at some point. Then I came across your first video about glacial bolt and decided to stick with it. Delighted to see that this can still work deep into end-game because I do NOT want to play any other way. It's just such a satisfying playstyle.
just a tip- use a bow with the Stormcaller Arrow skill- adds 800% chance to shock enemies instead of plasma burst. A lot more reliable and no charge, it's instant. On top of that ur build seems alright but you're kinda not focusing on shock OR* cold, making the damage from each less. Like i pumped my resources into shock only, but my glacial bolt still chunks enemies just because it's crazy damage by default, but better to go all in on one or the other because in comparison my Shockburst Rounds vs these bosses takes about 5-10 seconds to kill compared to your ~60+ Just tryna help!
Hey btw im fairly sure the bottom side of the attribute wheel is bugged the equipment still had the same stats, I could have read it wrong but I'm pretty sure it's bugged
why not deadeye
Cold will always be the coolest damage type in any game
i've been running my own version of this combo into t16 maps with the unique ring that shatters chilled enemies as if frozen + chilled ground on freeze for glacial bolt -> procs chain ice herald explosions
Switch to explosive shot ;D way more fun and way faster aswell
i dont understand how u blow up the wall ? cuz like litteraly i try it on my witchhunter lvl 75 and it never work
It doesn't seem like they have functionality to quality non gem skills.
I've been shocking things with stormcaller arrow which means having a bow in the second weapon slot. I think it works out fairly similar. Let's you move and shoot but doesn't last as long. Personal preference, I guess. I horde clear with galvanic shards so I don't need to stack any cold damage with my primary weapon slot.
To my knowledge the only quality you can apply to sorcery ward is the 10% you can get from gemling legionnaire
Herald of ash work with zelaous inqusition ?
Meyby You know 🙁
I'm running a utility belt with 200 armor on the affixes. Then I run a increased amount recovered flask.
If you can get it, it's much easier to sustain flask charges.
i went with armour witchhunter with iron reflexes and i regret it horribly, do not do this
I suggest using stormcaller arrow on a weapon swap to shock it is so much easier and less of an investment vs standing there for 2+ seconds. Has a +800% more chance to shock on the skill
I'm going to be attempting bonestorm – fragmentation rounds on frozen enemies to attempt insane phys hits. . . Maybe bleed it? Leveling that titan with my wife. . . So I might be a while.
