Absolutely loving the build! With that said, I notice quite an even split between dual wielding and brightbeak+shield. At the moment, I've went with the brightbeak as it's easier to acquire and cheaper. I'd like to hear from players who are farming high tier maps and/or end game bosses as to which they prefer and why. Is there really a significant difference in speed for mapping with the brightbeak? I hate how often shield charges gets caught on things not to mention being able to get to places you can't with the other movement skills. Is there a significant loss of survivability if at all without the shield? How much more of a damage boost is the dual wield? I have a feeling dual wielding will ultimately be better and after scouring all the top POE Ninja profiles that seems to be the case.

Thankfully damage while mapping is almost trivial with this build thanks to the Beacon of Ruin/Inpulsa combo. Brightbeak/Shield is enough for normal mapping but for end game bosses you need a little more oomph. The damage increase you get from dual wielding is just too high to ignore. It can easily double or even tripple your damage, depending on what weapons you get. Brightbeak will at least double your clear speed though and it is too good to ignore either.

In the end, the choice is yours. You can use almost any movement combo you want. Why not try Leap Slam if you don't like Shield Charge? People just use Brightbeak/Shield Charge because it is the fastest and dual whield because it does the most damage. I myself rush through the map on Brightbeak/Shield and zerg the boss down after a quick weapon swap to dual wield. I also always have Flame Dash ready to get over those pesky ledges should I get stuck while Charging. But who says that has to be your choice?

Survivability shouldn't change much, no matter what you go for. The weapon slots don't need to provide defences necessarily as they can be covered elsewhere.

How about replacing a gem for spell echoes for QoL casting BV? (my cast speed for BV is so slow)

What is the best Gem Setup for T16/Elder/Shaper farming? Just swapped from Gamble Rings to Shaper+WM Elder Ring. My current Setup is "HoI + Ice Bite + Innervate" and "Frost Bomb CWDT instead of WM"

Gear/Gems Setup:

Spoiler

Also how big would be the improvement to swap from an only crit multi amulet to an crit multi + chance?
Thanks :)

Hey guys,

Loving this build, it's really saved this league for me after i struggled with Tornado Shot.

Could anyone please take a look at my character and guide me as to my next upgrade?

I'd also like a price check on the two weapons, i have no idea what i'm looking at so hoping i got the right stats for the right prices.

I don't know how to link the items like other people do, but my profile is public. If someone can tell me how to link the items i'll edit the post.


The character is: BobBladeVortexx


Cheers
