2.5.2 BSC High-Budget CI Signal Shot Pathfinder

Hi there,

Making a guide of my version of signal shot inspired by blasting cap. I'm currently in Breach Softcore and am only 1-2 days into the build. Although I haven't had much time testing it fully, I can say that I've somewhat "min-maxed" the build.. as far as league items will allow me to anyways.

So, how does it work? The build takes 100% of your physical damage and converts it into elemental damage. Because of the availability of ele pen in the pathfinder's ascendency, as well as some tree nodes and ele pen enchant on boots + vinktars, we actually deal 2-3 times the amount of damage we would normally deal physically, as well as scaling more leech with vinktars.



Using these two, we can convert 100% of physical damage to elemental.

Passives
Currently still min-maxing. I'm also wearing a headhunters, so that means I have to sacrifice some damage to get melding. Tree not finalized, but here is what it looks like at level 93.



Bandits


Gear
The gear for this build is insanely high budget. I've tried my hardest and finally achieved elemental weakness with headhunters/skyforths for this build, and believe me.. it wasn't cheap.


Budget bows

Gem links and choices


Enchants and flasks, and why they are so important:

seems good, just one quick correction:
"You deal single target purely on using barrage. A normal barrage gem only releases 3 projectiles. But if you grab the helm enchant +2 and dying sun, now you are at 7 barrage projectiles. Same speed, same animation time. You effectively more than DOUBLE your damage."
That's not true. Normal barrage releases 3 ADDITIONAL projectiles, meaning 4 without enchant + dying sun and 8 with both.

If anyone is looking for a bow I am selling one.

Lemme know, can divine to hit 400pDPS

il sell it's bow for 50 ex :DDDD

can I ask why you've made a guide for a build there is already a guide for? haha

Pathing to Harrier and the small crit cluster isn't worth the investment. If you want the movespeed/attack speed take Quickstep by Druidic Rite. Pick up the crit multi cluster on the way to witch. You're missing out on a lot there. With the two points you've saved you can grab Aspect of the Eagle.

Check out my tree if you want to see a build that's more focused on movement speed. Harrier just isn't worth the point investment.

Yeah, i only had a day or two on the build before I went for vacation. Thats why I said its only min-maxing, I've thought of a new tree the last few days anyways. Going to come back in a day or two and finalize the build.

Actually, we're both wrong ^_^.

Pathfinder makes that +2 from dying sun turn into +3 with passives and nodes.

SO basically
4 Skill
2 Helm
3 Dying sun
