[3.1 R.I.P ]Theorycraft of shadownerfed new shapers/elder rare bow (dex stacking) ~0mil dps

Astramentis and rare bow with this mod for cold damage that's everything you need that expensive

In my PoB:

1k dex
Almost 900k barrage Shaper DPS even without some items.

In nugiyen's PoB:

~950 dex
Bit less damage (anyway a lot of damage coz of broken bow mod)
A lot more life
More jewel sockets for new dank jewels
Queen of the forest with 20k evasion ~+18% movement speed from chest (if equip boots with +30%ms its like 40% to 50% increased movement speed without raider ascendancy) so damn good
Starconjas on helmet slot and Shaper's touch.

In my personal opinion nugi's version is much better coz of great life pool (damage loss is irrelevant with this OpieOP bow).

What u think about this and what u would change in this character ?


P.S. Took link from nugiyen's build doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YC3TM7XRtq8ASLd77Y188O7KhEGOAKi5PK3R9jhAIqo/edit
Everyone thanks him on his stream: https://www.twitch.tv/nugiyen

I would consider Devoto's Devotion's a superior option to Black Sun, the attack speed and high dex roll makes up for the Blacksun Crest's % Dex. The Chaos res, movespeed and evasion are cherries on top. I like your choice of Perfect form over the other % Dex chest for the added utility too.

Jewel scaling stats (Crit Multi, Atk spd w/ bows, cold dmg% etc) might prove better than the Fluid Motion Jewel in Duelist, and almost certainly better than the Careful Planning in Shadow, depending on what you can pick up for rare jewels. The new abyss jewels probably won't have much to pick from; we don't need more flat stats for this build.

Can craft a Dex Belt via Essence of Suffering. One with Ele dmg w/ atk skills will be solid.

Projectile Weakness is the superior option for a pen-specced bow ranger who's shooting at Shaper, even with his resist bonuses. And don't forget Frostbomb; that'll put your sim over 1 Mil straight up!

Atziri juice is, to me, not ideal for a flat ele scaling build. Depending on how much you value Vinktar or a Silver flask, those're comparable, if not superior options.

Extra projectiles for Barrage via Dying Sun, Quiver corrupt, and Helm enchant will take you over 2 Mil.

All together should come out around 2.5-3.5 Mil depending on how nice your rings n quiver are.

That's a few thoughts anyway; I had the same thought about building a bow with that mod. Looks cool!

I would say Starkonja is superior to both Black Sun and Devotos. Even more dex AND up to 100 life with just a little less attack speed and crit on top. You lose the MS true but raider (or pathfinder if you wanna do that) aint lacking movement speed.

CwDT - frost bomb - immortal call - inc dura might be dank. Other 8 slots gotta fill in everything else though (auras, golem, blink, decoy totem, maybe PCoC - OoS - CoH setup). Gotta cut somewhere.

Edit: Ill plug myself a bit. We basically had the same inspiration anyway :p https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2036887

Oh man, how could I forget my old friend Starkonja, and it's huge dex roll!?

You're right for sure. I'm a sucker for that fat life roll.

This build looks really promising. Not sure if it's a good for a league start tho. 100% gonna give some version of this a try ;).

You can create a new unique bow with the stat "adds 5 to 9 cold damage per 10 dexterity", the 300-500 number is confusing for customization.

EDIT: played a bit around with it and got something like this:

lvl 95
-2.76 M shaper dps (dmgonfull-inflated), no onslaught, no VH, 3 utility dmg flasks. 2.5M seems to be a more accurate estimate.
-5.63 k life
- no barrage or pen enchants (no enchants whatsoever)
-somewhat problematic but fixable resist situation
- overall solid gear, but nothing crazy (around 20Ex total or so)

Guess the outcome is comparable to a death's opus with my setup. If the roll could be divined higher, we could see some really GG dmg.

But even this could go over 3M with great survivavibility with really good gear.

What would you use to clear maps with this build? Something like Tornado shot im guessing? Does barrage feel at all good with the volley jewel and pierce to clear maps?

TS/Iceshot/LA are all decent enough

Can eldered items be crafted by currency?
If yes this affix will easy to get I think

You should consider using shapers touch. It gives you like 250 flat life
