Thanks mate for the suggestions.
Minotaur is ok I got him.
Today i downed Hydra as well. Best fight so far and toughest.
I did it with 82% cold ress on a ele weakness map with +95% cold damage. Got 1 cold max from tree, one from ammy and 5 from 21 purity in the essence worm. Doable but slow with a 28lvl CA on a 6L bow.
Chimera is easy too. I was concerned, but did it with the default Barrage setup. No poisoning though. It works on the adds which are much harder imo than the boss itself.
For explosive arrow I am not sure you will be able to ignite passing the boss threshold HP. Havent tried.
Reach I havent been able to test but if you want we can do a quick test swaping mine and your just to check. Mine I got as a very good deal and its 440ish pdps. 6L it with 1000ish fuses which was annoying.
One thing i forgot to mention is that i swap Dareso's with Starkonja for bosses - more HP more defensive option.
My CA setup is at 7.2k HP and feels good.

In summary:
Up to t15 content is absolutelly no problem.
Chimera, Minotaur and Phoenix are fine with same setup disregarding immunities. Just have to kearn the fights.
Hydra is very tough and pain with this setup, will take ages, all skills dodge-ble with a good placement of decoy totem. To make it easier extra cold ress and other skill CA and maybe Puncture will work.

The Q

Edit: puncture is a good idea. Dont feel CA is that good for bosses. It melts packs and rares, but on bosses i am not a fan and my setup is probably as good as it can get (except lvl4 empower to push lvl29 CA).

Can someone give some advice as to the highest priority quality gems for this build?
I have most of the main pieces of gear (including council bow) but just wondering if I should invest in some
quality gems. It looks like added chaos +20q is really good.

Or maybe it's better to start investing in jewels.

I've leveled up my Mara and am just about to start A4 Merc. I've got a 5L Queen of the Forest in the stash, and am looking at Glare vs continuing to save for Reach. I can pick up a 5L Glare for ~20c at the moment, would it be worth doing that first then starting to save for reach after? What links should I shoot for on the Glare for LA? LA--Added Chaos--Pierce--Slower Proj--GMP?

Hello,

I am trying to levelup this build, but I think I've made some mistakes while doing so :

1. Life is too low. I tried rushing for the pierce cluster, as suggested.
2. I dont have a good bow. Using marohi + 6L EQ. but the damage is pretty bad.
3. I think I regretted the melee nodes too early.

I am level 60 right now. Charname is ASLI_BHAYANAK_MAUT.

I'm very seriously considering re-rolling right now.

Any tips/suggestions? Any other skill/etc I can use to make the next 7 levels less painful?

I happened to get the '2 secondary tornado shot projectiles' enchant on my Devoto's and was curious if that would make Tornado Shot more viable for non physical reflect maps over Lightning Arrow. Ideally I'd like to sell it to help fund my gear, but I'm not sure if Tornado Shot builds would want a Devoto's.

What are your suggestions on how to increase my damage? I am level 87 with 6k life and sit at around 13-14k (at work so I can't remember exactly) hideout tooltip dps, which falls very short of what I see in your setup. I'm working on Level 7 Elreon to get chaos damage added to my jewelry, but I'm not sure if that is going to be a big increase or not.
