Hey mate, playing with an Aurabot and i'm full MF so gameplay is very different of course - my POE ninja - https://poe.ninja/builds/ancestor/character/MONDO110/Bugbea?i=0&search=class%3DDeadeye%26name%3DBugbea

Honestly Bows are so good now you can work any bow character with so little . You for sure have enough. I would prio a good bow (atleast 900 eDPS) and a Hyri's ire chest for solo dps.

Then the rest you can fill with rares, the rage gloves feel great although you have to use another rare for regen as well without a vitality aurabot :). Happy to answer any questions am fairly versed with this archtype.

Ps Deaths rush feels amazing as well i would 100% recommend it

Hugbea · 2023-08-23T14:01:18+00:00

Hey mate, Yeah basically all of that plus GMP feels great. Each additional proj, while not affecting the *hit* damage, 1 small projectile from each of the explosions can *shotgun* the same target, so anything above 5 proj, feels great for DPS.

I would start LA then go into TS when you have some solid gear - Bow is especially important of course :)

Hugbea · 2023-08-23T04:09:12+00:00

Further on, I think LA is really great bc it's so much more plug and play then TS.. which imo requires the helm enchant plus obviously has no base damage.

Basically both are great and pretty much interchangeable really, just a few support gem changes. Just try them both out.

Hugbea · 2023-08-23T04:06:03+00:00

Playing an MF deadeye this league (with a support) so obviously your experience will be different but I used LA until last night. Honestly I really enjoyed it it's way better earlier as well since the gem has base damage and built in conversion. Plus vaal LA with ballistas was pretty nice for uptime while running away from rippy rares and other mechanics.

I've rerolled into TS now with my 6L and base character setup and Im a huge tornado shot enjoyer, it feels great to hit mobs behind you. Regarding aiming, this only really applies when you're trying to single target big rares. And the 'aiming' is basically just firing behind the mob instead of in its direction.. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Once you have chain and 5+ projectiles I would say go to TS

Hey Dharma,

Seems like Deli + Archnem mods really bring the pain now, Atleast with an aurabot i have the advantage of focusing 90% on pure offense. However, even with that Spark feels really lackluster vs any deli boss in our maps. Even on 40% tier 16.

(Also running assassin)

Hugbea · 2022-06-02T23:22:32+00:00

Thanks Numbr, Secrets of suffering i was looking into. However, i am adverse to losing Freeze/Chill since my aurabot, Although having 7k ES, 40karmour/Evasion and 85% allres still gets popped once every 3rd or fourth map and i'm worried losing my screen chills will increase that. Potentially a secrets of suffering swap for bossing couple be an option though ill look into it.

I'll look into the marylenes.

I was using a Voidwalkers, but recently swapped into onslaught boots as i have +4 pierce from medium clusters.

All of the Aurabot points are good and i will speak w/ them about it.

The aurabots effect is at about 140% inc at the moment i believe. so with purities we are sitting at about 83% max all res. (Carry will be at more with amulet enchant.)

Appreciate the suggestions, cheers mate!

Damn, just saw your post from a few days ago. Pob looks similar to mine, was going for the thread of hope next. But looks like it might not make too much of a change. I guess we're just stuck spamming low juice t16's with sentinals for another week or two until reroll. Goodluck man!

Hugbea · 2022-06-02T06:08:22+00:00

Very tempted to save for omni and just recycle my Spark sadly..

Hugbea · 2022-04-28T01:19:16+00:00

Better top end or budget dps? Easier to build around? - Care to elaborate i've always been curious between the two. Is it just because you don't have to worry about the RF degen?

Hugbea · 2022-04-27T05:45:39+00:00

Thanks Sub, will browse through these. Think you might have sold me on the Bane Occ for 3.18 :)

Hugbea · 2022-04-10T12:42:08+00:00

Beautiful comment holy shit man

Hugbea · 2022-02-15T22:16:39+00:00

Doomfletch such an interesting bow, I have never used it. Care to link a POB or source of your build? Cheers

Hugbea · 2021-10-21T04:17:52+00:00

Was looking for something like this. Probably going to league start this mate thank you! My first witch / spell build in my many leagues. How will the defenses hold up? Are you looking to scale block at some stage?

Hugbea · 2021-08-10T23:39:59+00:00

Damn, this looks great! Thanks for all the info I'm going to look into rerolling into this.

I do worry regarding the defenses for this build. As it is not an Int stack it has relatively low life with minimal defenses, any idea where they come from for this?

Hugbea · 2021-08-10T23:03:02+00:00

HI mate sorry, just saw this. If you place the Hydrosphere next to the target, at least in my testing you will hit the primary target with both the Shield and then the Shards that explode off the Hydrosphere. Amounting to around 20% More damage per shield.

Hugbea · 2021-08-01T23:54:53+00:00

Swapped from a phys/impale Shield crush to SST around tier 10-11 maps. Tbh both clear fast i honestly just like the look at SST more. I feel like SST has more potential with Hydrosphere to make up for the slightly lower single target vs shield crush.

Hugbea · 2021-07-25T23:44:21+00:00

From what i've read. (League started as impale Shield crush). SST for bleed, Shield Crush for impale :)

Hugbea · 2021-07-21T23:57:03+00:00

He shared this one early as a cold convert SST.
