Some people play ruthless, I like to play stupid meme builds. So instead of starved of currency and items, you will be starved of damage, survivability and knowledge. Before the start of this league I made a paint paint build and wanted to see how far I can get it to work. Now I want to show the progress since it can do t16 maps now pretty comfy. But it came with a lot of lessons:

• Using barrage is horrible for mapping and makes your attack time very long meaning it becomes harder to keep your wormsteel fed to provide the +3 proj.
• When facetanking mobs, your mirage archer will deposit all the arrows next to the mob, shotgunning it for decent damage. I think this is a bug, but it makes the non-barrage version playable against map bosses and tanky mobs. I do use a barrage for the big bois though. You can see an example of this at 1:10 .
• Using another bow than widowhail has better dps in pob, but you will not have 100% uptime of steelworm since the widowhail makes the amount of shards that will be consumed 3 instead of 1.
• The 60% armour and evasion on steelworm is way more pog than I expected
• The default attack speed modifier implicit on steelworm is also way better than I expected
• Armour is in the current state of the build more important than a (vaal) haste aura. This will probably change when my dps makes everything disappear sooner
• I would realy like include koam's spirit for berserk but for that I need to tweak some more stuff. Especially the life aspect since kaom's spirit has a life modifier and does not work with my current chest. I will probably go this way in the final version though.
• The call of steel is way more useful than I expected. Packs explode the moment you call your shards back since they do aoe damage and make the fuses go boom as well from dieing mobs.
• Ceaseless feast was useful as a basic starter item but fell off the moment I could go crit based
• Uber lab has nothing for me. Taunting enemies takes away my defensive layer of my herald of purity and I don't have any way to get fortify. A good flesh/flame jewel will probably change this though.
