[2.6 Raider] Shrapnel Shot "Melee"

So, I like to play Melee. And after I started with Lameblast, I wanted to reroll a Melee. A few Days later I planed a ‘Meleelike Shrapnel Shot Chin Sol Point Black’ Character and it went better than expected. Leveling, with leveling Gear, is pretty smooth and you can play with Shrapnel Shot all the Time. It is a Raider because the Frenzy Charges just Double the Damage, so the build is a bit in the “Raider/ VP Meta”.

It's my first "Guide" and I'll edit more soon.

The Damage and Killspeed feels fine till T14. I wasn't able to run higher Maps right now.

Pros
Cheap
Not Meta
Damage is Fine
192% Life! (Life Is Technical...)
Fun To Play, Imo


Cons
Melee Range
Lifebased/ No Es
Evasion/ Dodge based
Reflect Mob kills you instant in close Range
VP (Yeah, I don't like it)


Stats of Interest

Will add Screenshots.

Life: 192%. At Level 88 i have 5200, bevor I go for Devoto's Devotion I had 5480 with a rare Helmet, and you can achieve more with better Gear.
Evasion: 39%
Attack Dodge: 36%; 46% with a Quartz Flask up.
Spell Dodge: 0%; 20% with Quartz Flask up.
Phys Reduction: 2% With Gear, 4% Chaos Golem, Arctic Armor

102% Movement Speed, with Charges, but without Quicksilver

Screen Dps:
12,7k in Town without Buffs
16k with Wrath
47k with Frenzy Charges and Atziri's Promise Flask

Theoretically Damage with my current Gear:
(7 Frenzy Charges, Close Range, Wrath Aura, Quartz Flask up)
Mobs: 180k Arrow + 2x190k Cone = 560.000 Dps (850.000 Dps with Shock)
Standard Boss: 145k Arrow + 2x155k Cone = 455.000 Dps (684.000 Dps with Shock)
Shaper/ Guardians: 133k Arrow + 2x142k Cone = 417.000 Dps
(The Total DPS is SingletargetDPS with the Projectile, the Areadamage is ⅔ of that.)
If you use the Conductivity Curse you can add some Damage, but I don’t think it's worth it, because of the 80% less Curse Effectiveness on Bosses.


Leveling
Stormcloud + 2x Collateral Damage Jewels + Shrapnel Shot
Just go for the Jewels, and it will carry you to Level 62 for Chin Sol in a 4 Link:
Shrapnel Shot - WED - Added Lightning - Faster Attacks (If I remember right, lol)


Bandits
Oak (Life) - Kratyn (Attackspeed) - Kratyn (Frenzy Charge)


Passive Tree and Ascendancy
Level 90 Tree
Way of the Poacher > Avatar of the Slaughter > Quartz Infusion > Avatar of the Veil


Gem Setup

Mainskill
4L: Shrapnel Shot - Added Lightning - WED - Elemental Focus
5L: + Phys To Lightning
6L: + Lightning Penetration

Aura:
Wrath and Arctic Armour
I just like the extra Phys Reduce more than a Blasphemy Curse.

Elemental Overload activator and Curse on Hit:
Orb of Storms - Curse on Hit - Enfeeble - Powercharge on Crit
Any Curse you like will fit in this Setup. Pcoc is just a filler for the Gemslot.

Movement (Bow):
Blink Arrow - Faster Attacks - Faster Projectiles - (Mirror Arrow)

And the good old Cwdt Setup:
Cwdt - Immortal Call - Molten Shell - Chaos Golem
Choose Whatever you prefer.

For the last Gemslots i’ll go for:
Increased Duration - Vaal Haste - Vaal Grace
I just don't have it right now.


Base Gear

Bow: Chin Sol > 100% More Bow Damage at close Range


Jewels: 2x Collateral Damage > Double Damage for the Cone & 50% Increased AOE
I've Just 2 Jewel Slots in the Tree, because i'm too lazy to compare good rare Jewels with other notes on the Tree.


Quiver: Drillneck > Shrapnel Shot got 100% Pierce Chance so it's a huge Damageboost. (Haven't compared it to good Rare Quivers)

Chest: Carcass Jack > Just because I was Lucky to Sixlink one, and it's easy to Color. The Stats with Life/Resist/AOE Effect and Damage are pretty nice, too.

Helmet: Devoto's Devotion > What to say.. 20% Movementspeed! But cost you like 250 HP vs Rares.

Rest of the Gear is up to you.
Go for Resist, Life, Accuracy and Jewelry with Lightningdamage (Flat/ %), WED, Physicaldamage, and all the sweet Stuff.


My Current Gear


Flasks

I play with: Life Flask, Basalt, Quartz, The Wise Oak, Atziri's Promise.
I'll change the Atziris with Vinktars.

You can stalk my Profile for the Character named Rapshnel for my current Items and Gems.
Feel free to criticise, and… Is there any Guide that shows how to add Items, Gems and Stuff to the Thread?

Yes, it works. Dex nodes doesn't have to be allocated - just in radius.

Another question:
1) How do you leech life? I see only 0.4% phys leech allocated and you have 90% dmg elemental.

I'm actively exploring this build area so that I can use it as 3.0 starter. So far tried Raider and Slayer build of mine "meele" shrapnel shot - msg me if you want to know more.
MY CHALLENGES ARE DONE ON HC, IT'S NOT SC GUYS!
