This will very likely be my league starter!

Question is how much flat chaos dmg SA needs to be better than TR for leveling after lvl 28.
SA Mirrage Archer, is it a bugg that MA always fires fully charged? Otherwise SA with MA + TR without MA might be a thing for leveling, one tap SA to keep MA up and TR when needed for Blue/rare packs.

I know we dont have the numbers yet but still.

Makes sense, and at 35 we craft a new bow with higher phys dmg which will make it even better.

Question on leveling tree, there is almost no respeccs needed between leveling and normal tree, is this ideal?
And I can only see dps nodes being picked up at skill point 17, would it not be a better option to go with early dps nodes and then respec out of those later? E.g the starting path (projectile dmg -> attack speed -> Ballistic mastery -> Aspect of the Eagle and then go for the posion nodes top left corner?

What do you think?

There are some respect points we get for free but understand some of the quests will take time to do and therefore it might be better to use less respec points as well.

I had posted a few times last league, but have been awhile for awhile. A couple of questions for you. I see you added a change to replace drill neck with a shaper quiver to generate frenzy charges. If I have another source of frenzy charge generation, would sticking with drillneck still be the best option? I remember you also said that the source of pierce from drill neck was important. Is that still the case or is that no longer a priority?
Apologize in advance if I misssed that in the updates.

Hello. Yeah, if you have other sources of frenzy generation sticking with drillneck is still probably best. Even though shaper quiver with +1 arrow is very nice too for qol.

And for Drillneck and Pierce implicit, I was actually testing thorn arrows with SA and they pierced by default so I just completely dropped that part and instead switched to accuracy implicit.

Cool thanks for the quick reply. One more question I thought of was in the fossil crafting section for the bow you have Corroded, Aberrant, and Metallic Fossils listed. Doesn't using metallic cancel out the possibility of rolling vicious projectiles since it says no physical modifiers?

So so far after the reveals I am kind of thinking of running 6l SA in body and 6l Shrapnel Ballista in wep and picking some totem nodes on tree in 3.9, poison ballista should be fun :d

Seems very solid for clear and bossing!
Have you decided on build yet?

There is a mistake in the leveling gem progression, pierce should be removed after switching to toxic rain, not at later levels with vicious proj right?
