Surely 10% Proj Dmg on the tree is better than 9% DoT Damage. That's just a mistake on my part. That 9% should be the 10% proj dmg in Piercing Shots. I've corrected it. That mistake happened because when levelling, you want the shortest pathing possible to the Corruption Notable. Then you move it out later. Thanks for pointing it out.

You can buy a white 5L for 3-5c, and spend 60-120 alts/augs to roll +2 on it. Compared to 5Ling that bow: about 80-150 fuse (8 alts per fuse = 640-1200 alts). " im use the unique and plain use the rare for future andvarius, how mod i can put on the rare before i vaal it? Ice golem orflame golem? thanks for the build and i have fun playing the poe it, cya! The only thing sort of useful to put on the quiver is projectile speed. I wouldn't vaal it though. The additional arrow won't be as valuable as making sure you have the resistances, though I guess quivers like that are probably cheap. Flame golem. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.

My gear is coming together nicely, and I'm only missing a 6L bow and Carcass Jack (and some marginal rare gear upgrades). Would you prioritize getting one of those sooner than the other? Carcass Jack is naturally a lot cheaper than a 6L, but I can sell off my current 5L +3 bow if I get a new one. Tough decisions. :)	Posted by ClinchClonch on Jul 23, 2015, 5:31:16 AM Quote this Post
Labyrinth boss is quite difficult against this build. Deals high phys dmg, evade/dodge seems ineffective against it. It instakilled my char (4,2k hp, capped res). I was running unid rare map tho so it may had had some extra damage...	Posted by Blah on Jul 23, 2015, 6:45:08 AM Quote this Post

Is it worth trying to roll blue bows with +2 and then regaling them for a +3? It can't be any worse than the odds of them straight up dropping, nor the 7+ or so exalts they actually cost.

" Serleth wrote: Spoiler Yep! It will be great as a first character. It sounds more expensive than it is, because you can really start to farm in the currency quite quickly with this build (0.5ex/hr when it's finished). It's more expensive to gear than my Flameblast MF build, but since Proliferation is getting the hammer, I made this guide. But to give you an idea of how I progressed this build (granted, I had days off, so 8 hour playing days): Day 1: 0-55ish, Merciless Ledge Day 2: 56-70, bought a 5L ilvl 64 bow, crafted +1 all gems on it. Bought empower, socketed it immediately (made it level 2). Bought Aurseize and Goldwyrm, got some decent alcs, had about 20/120 MF. Day 3: 70-78. Dropped Pledge of Hands. Traded it straight up for a +3 bow. Fixed some gear, 20/180 MF. Day 4: 79-83. Dropped two Alphas Howls, and a Rat's Nest. (1ex each = 3ex). Had enough recipes done and misc currency to have another 2ex worth. Bought Drillneck and 5L'd the bow. Day 5-7: Took a break from mapping, farmed Docks for sets like mad to sell for fusings. Day 8 83-86: 1k fusings. Spam. 6L bow. Continued levelling. Dropped more uniques. Sold for Andvarius rings. 20/220 MF. Day 9: 86-89: Finished the build, put together the guides. And here we are. So in 9 days (72 hours of playing) I went from nothing to a finished MF build, and was starting to pull in 0.5ex / hr. Thanks for outlining play time w/ leveling. I appreciate the perspective it provides. I wanted to run some kind of bow/mf build and this seems like a good one. I play maybe an hour on weeknights and maybe 3 on weekends. So 72/9 = 9 weeks instead of 9 days for me =D long road ahead	Posted by Donut_Harvest on Jul 23, 2015, 11:25:01 AM Quote this Post
Hey, i would like to ask if your build can be played on a new league without any currency ? Like self found item ( gold rings , rarity on helm, etc).	Posted by Cronggz on Jul 23, 2015, 11:44:28 AM Quote this Post

I see the jewels I'm talking about, all similar in numbers, go for 1c, or 4c, or 10c. I want to have a base with which to open negotiations on unpriced listing.
