I just checked standard, my +2 barrage tempest binding is now worth 70 ex lol

Also noticed Queen of the Forest evasion took a huge hit, my old one had like 370%... Was there a massive nerf targeting wander builds at some point?

Are MF builds expected to clear red map bosses? I'm currently using QotF, windripper, sadima's, goldwyrm, and 2x ventors with capped resists and 4.5k HP. I don't think I can tank the dmg to do them smoothly.

With the powercreep of abyss jewels, mf windripper build can kill the shaper with mf gear.

End game abyss jewels are pretty expensive. The 4 property ones with a combination of flat ele dmg, attack speed and life usually go for 10+ ex each, and the build needs a lot of them so it will take a while to get there. Is the correct playstyle to burst down the bosses as quick as possible before you get 1 shot? I don't think more HP with this build helps that much.

Shaper in general shouldnt ever hit you with anything at all if you play a bowchar, he has very telegraphed attacks that are rather easy to avoid.
That aside good 3 prop abyss jewels are good enough, dont necessarily have to be 4 prop to do endgame bossing.
(smarter btw to not play with barrage and point blank for endgame bosses,its much easier with ranged kill and far shot usage via RoA or TS)

I don't think Shaper will be a huge problem, but some of the red map bosses / incursion rooms tend to be tricky. You are right about bossing with point blank and barrage, I never felt safe with it beyond T11.

I have 6L barrage on bow and 6L TS on chest, is barrage worth using at all without point blank? If not what else should I put in the other 6L?

Usually Barrage without point blank isnt worth it, cause the arrows spread out too much that many just wont hit the boss at all.
I love Kaoms Heart + 6 link in bow myself, if the stats of the armor arent that important other than defense.
Otherwise can think about a curse
(Ele weakness, Proj Weakness etc.) + Frenzy+GMP+Power charge on crit set up as your non TS.

PS : if you dont have TS helmet enchant (additional secondary projectiles) sell your 2nd 6-link and buy TS helmet enchant + 5-link armor/Bow, its insane dps boost for single target.

I have +2 TS on helm and a rigwald, so the dmg is already pretty good. This is more of a mapping build and I'd prefer to keep the movespeed from QotF. I will try out the curse idea, maybe look for a corrupt ammy with + additional curse so I can fit 2 in there.

This is my last and most expensive char this league, I think I dumped over 20 ex into it and so far it made about 18ex back chain farming maps.

When I corrupt a map, the resulting map potentially rolled into a map one tier higher. The last time I played was during Harbinger and as far as I remember, there used to be no regulations on what the resulting map could be. Now it seems like everytime I do get this result, the resulting map is a map is one connected to my completed maps on the atlas.

Am I just being unlucky (this used to be one of the main ways for me to speed up red map completion) or was this changed at some point?

I've had the same experience in Incursion, though I don't know how recent that change is.

It's been like that since the atlas was introduced (i.e. 3.1.0). I'm not entirely sure whether it's a random connected map or whichever you'd get form a 3to1 trade in. Should probably be on the wiki.

It's any adjacent map according to Karv's guide (pastebin.com) which should still be pretty up to date.

Does anyone have experience with the Poet Pen + Zerphi build? The guides say you are suppose to run blood rage or RF with MoM to keep the mana at 0, but then I need to spam frenzy at all times to keep my HP from draining. It's rather annoying and I can't just take my time and pick up loot after each incursion etc...

It feels like the only nice thing about it is you can blindly tank all bosses, but mapping with it just doesn't feel as smooth.

I mean, RF is a lot to offset, but most builds can figure out a way to not degen too badly from blood rage, especially since mom makes your mana regen count as well. Plus blood rage naturally ends after ~15s and gives attackspeed.

just use bloodrage, you'll out regen it anyway, and yeah I was using it to farm uber elder this league, really dumb build. I could sit there and tank everything except for shaper smash. I was just running vitality+anger for mapping and using blood rage, using a watchers eye with crit mult from anger, health recovery rate from vitality, and phys damage taken as cold from purity of ice. For uber elder I ran vitality purity of ice and arctic armor. I didn't have enough mana left to use blood rage with that set up so I used RF for uber elder. lmk if you have any other questions about playing it.

Yea I can out regen bloodrage but not RF. My gems are not maxed yet so clearing the incursion rooms within time limit is also a big problem. A couple questions:

1. How many fevered mind should I use? I'm at 3 right now.
2. How important is it to get the volatile dead helm enchant? I'm trying to get it on a incursion base with phys dmg taken as elemental, don't really want to buy it given the ridiculous price on these.

I had a lot of clearing problems with high tier incursions at first too and honestly with really good gear sometimes still would just because of the lack of movement speed when there aren't mobs for bodyswap. I used 4 fevered minds but 3 shold also be enough, I think in the end I dropped to 3 and used a rare jewel in place of one. The helm enchant is really good, it changes your vd from 3 balls per attack to 4, which is a very big boost. What I did was just bought a high base with the enchant and threw the highest tier essences of greed at it until I got s pretty decent roll, I didn't bother for any of the temple mods or anything. I think it's better to have the enchant on a decent helm than have a better helm without it, especially since the build is already so tanky. Also not sure if you've played poet before but getting cool down reduction on boots and belt and getting the right amount of attack speed is also a very large dps boost. I'm not sure how prices are at this point in the league but earlier when I was gearing the character I found it much cheaper to buy a pair of I think 84 shaper two toned boots and spam screaming essence of zeal to grantee 25 move speed when you do hit cool down recovery. Also for belt it was much cheaper to buy a shaper heavy or leather belt and spam chaos until I got something decent with cool down recovery.

Sorry on phone.
