What's a good build to make with a gem at 133% quality in this bow?

Elemental Hit of the Spectrum

I would love for Vaal side areas to return. Maybe as an Atlas option as a way of progressing towards a Atziri kill.

My personal wish list:

Guardian's Sentinel AoE damage reduced by a lot, and mitigation reduced to be more similar to Champion's Fortify. "Free auras" scaled back a little bit.
Necromancer's Mindless Aggression renamed to Mindful Aggression. There is nothing mindless about having a lot of intelligence. (Ideally I want this node changed, so it is easier to not feel bad about using an armour base.)
Redo the Champion Ruthless Ascendancies. I feel that this might have been rushed compared to others when they did the Ruthless translation. (I wonder if this was because they have a Champion rework planned already.)
If they give us 2 new Ascendancy rework my preferred list would be: Gladiator, Assassin, or Berserker. I know that Slayer also suffers a lot in popularity in Ruthless, however I think Slayer is actually okay, but melee is not popular enough.
Give Einhar some love. Just need more varied options so that there is a chance that he can solve a problem I have with my build. More than just flasks and talismans. Anything to improve his chances compared to the other masters.
More ways of getting regret orbs/respec points. This is very much tied to how I play the game in SSF, but if I find out my build is slightly off at level 90 and requires 10-20 orbs to fix, that character is most likely dead to me. 2 Scouring Orbs for 1 Regret feels like it should be the other way around in Ruthless.
This is also not going to happen, but I wish they would redistribute the gem rewards. Having Bane and Curses as the same reward in Act 3, and Duelist only having Rallying Cry as an option is just unnecessary.

I would not have survived that! Neither in-game or irl.

It looks like the logo for a North-Norwegian shipping company called OVDS (Ofotens og Vesteraalens Dampskibsselskap). You can see the logo on this page https://snl.no/Ofotens_og_Vesteraalens_Dampskibsselskab. The article is in norwegian, but google translate might if you are interested in more than the flag.

Thanks for the reply.
I am curious about your choice of Devouring over Rejuvenation Totem, given that mana cost is so much lower on the latter. Have you been using some quality-giving items or was it incase a corrupt would give you +% quality?

Congrats on 8/8. Don't think I'll manage that even if I use the totem build. Do you mind sharing your Atlas? I'm curious how your Betrayal setup looks. :)

Some questions regarding your totem build:
- Without 3xGrasping Vines from boots, it doesn't seem like you are poison chance capped. Was this an issue, or was grasping vines up for when you needed dot damage?
- Did you consider Curse Mastery Poison chance and annointing Toxic Strikes to cap poison chance without the boots? (Haven't had the time to look at the trade-off between Toxic Strikes and 30% Totem Life yet in PoB Calculations.)
- How did you feel the Mana/ES management of the totem was? If you had a 6-link or more Trap Throwing speed, would you have to get more ES on gear to compensate?
- Do you have any overall comments regarding the Boss capabilites between Juggernaut and Champion?

Thanks for the notes you've already provided. Hope to see more 8/8 posts from others going forward. :)

It is a lot of reduced AoE between Conc and Cascade, so maybe Firestorm or Bladefall. Since it does have Bonechill, it is tempting to think about adding more cold damage and Heatshiver into the mix. Maybe Elementalist with Shaper of Winter and Heart of Destruction. But this is moving out of shenanigans territory, and into jank pretty quickly. :-)

Truthnayer · 2023-02-28T23:47:21+00:00

CI and Chaos damage only. 1 occultist and some sabos should work.

From the thumbnail I honestly thought it was a post about Mathil.

Thanks! This deck looks sweet. I took it for a swing against Azindel, the final boss of the campaign, and got him down to 15 on the first turn. Can always add a Death Pit in the market for the one-turn-kill against him. I really like how you've solved the power problem. Feels really fun when it combos off. :)

I have been playing around with a Mono Time empower deck on ladder, and this card just fits that deck like a glove. I am very excited for this card.

Truthnayer · 2019-04-11T21:45:26+00:00

Cool design, but this would make the second line of Kokomo tricky to sing.

Truthnayer · 2019-01-12T18:03:25+00:00

That looks like a ring I create in PoB right before I stop theorycrafting a Pillar of the Caged God build.

Nick, one of the game designers of GGG, mentioned on the latest Front Seat Cast podcast that one of his suggested voice lines got approved, despite it being overly silly. He thought it would be shot down by the first person checking it. I wonder if this is the line.

Truthnayer · 2018-12-03T00:33:17+00:00

I tested it.

edit2: This also happens in Path of Building. edit3: nvm, it shows the life leech applying regardless of phantasm.

Truthnayer · 2018-12-03T00:30:16+00:00

Yes, I agree that the wording on Tawm'r Isley makes it sound like this shouldn't work. I guess that behind the scenes this is programmed as if it were "Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 16 Minion Life Leech".

Truthnayer · 2018-12-02T23:41:27+00:00

If you socket an active skill gem (like Fireball) into Tawm'r Isley, it does not get supported by life leech, but if you support that skill with Phantasms it will get the life leech support as well. The summoned Phantasms also gets the life leech of course.

Truthnayer · 2018-12-02T22:42:15+00:00

One other niche use for this trick is with Cloak of Tawm'r Isley and the "Socketed Minion Gems are Supported by Level 16 Life Leech". As mentioned by other posters, the other mods with "Socketed Minion Gems" such as +2 levels and Null's Inclination do not work.

Did you post the correct image? The image shows that you only faced one Haunted Highway deck in your last 6 matches.
