NOTE: This build is the new and updated version of my CoC Bow Inquisitor that i made in 3.15 patch ->
https://youtu.be/bbxvUMDDMbM
This time i made Pathfinder version which is x4 times stronger with min-maxed gear.
You can further upgrade some pieces if you're a good crafter and want to burn more currency.
Build is based on Eternity Shroud body armour that requires all the equipment to be shaper influenced. That's why most items are self crafted cause they don't exist in the game.
Even if you cannot find / craft Shaper influenced Call of Brotherhood rings, build still has 80m+ dps.
How to play?
----------------
-> CoC setup has 2 different arrow skills, swap them depending on what you're doing.
Blast rain -> Shoots tighter -> More Coc procs -> Hard boss fights (Uber bosses, Invitations etc.)
Rain of arrows -> Shoots in a wide range of aoe -> Mapping (You don't have to swap gems in T16 Guardian Maps, Guardians still die in 2-3 seconds with Rain of arrows)
-> Press utility flasks only once when you enter a new map. They'll get used automatically after 2nd usage.
If you go through a door or portal by the time a flask is about to end, you may lose uptime cause character can't drink flasks during teleportation. (example: strand map boss room/shaper's realm boss rooms)
Always check your utility flasks after you use a door / portal and drink again if necessary.
-> You have to press Life flask manually every 3-4 seconds. Reap is a skill that costs life so you actually hurt yourself. Build also uses Righteous Fire but you don't have to use that in maps if you want.
-> Cast Elemental weakness on bosses or pre cast on the ground before a boss spawns to get Balance of terror unique jewel's damage buff. Refresh every 10 seconds if boss isn't dead yet.
-> Cast Zealotry cause it's in Divine blessing setup. Refresh every 10 seconds if you need that dps buff. You can skip this in easy maps.
-> If you have the budget for Rational Doctrine, make sure your strength is equal to your intelligence and also both need to be higher than dex. ( STR = INT ) > DEX
I used some tattoos to balance my attributes. Those are cheap tattoos btw.
Damage conversion
-------------------------
This is the key to achieve absurd dps. Eternity shroud is a bugged body armour that grants it's unique "elemental damage as extra chaos damage" each time a conversion gets applied.
GGG can't fix this until they change the entire coding of how damage conversion works(confirmed in 1st exilecon). Play these kind of builds until POE 2 cause it's gonna get patched eventually.
Conversion goes like this in POE: Physical -> Lightning -> Cold -> Fire -> Chaos (there is no other way around)
Reap and bladefall are both physical damage spells. First we need to convert them to lightning damage(skip this if you have lower budget, go directly to cold convert with hrimsorrow gloves and skip wrath aura)
Talent tree lightning mastery (40% convert) + Gloves prefix(20-25% convert) + Watcher's eye wrath mod(up to 40% convert) = 100% in the end (Physical to lightning support on main setup also helps but lower dps!)
Then we need to convert lightning to cold. Only way of doing this is to use x2 call of the brotherhood rings. Each ring grants 40% conversion by default and 48% with catalyst applied.
Unfortunately it is super hard to craft a shaper infleunced call of bro rings cause they are not the only base type and also much rarer. There is also "Berek's Grip" ring which has common drop rate.
You can still play the build with regular call of bro rings but you'll lose Eternity shroud's full set bonus thus play with lower dps. Build still has 70-80m+ with good gear so who cares lol.
After using Call of the brotherhood rings your character will deal 4% lightning / 96% cold damage. There is also "Cold to Fire" support gem to convert 50% cold to fire. But i haven't done that on this build.
Cause Cast on crit builds requires lots of different gems to make the build work, i didn't have enough slots to fit this gem in.
This is just a tip for you if you're brave enough to create your own Eternity Shroud build one day <3
Crafting Guide (reds=mandatory, green=good , yellow=ok)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feel free to ask for additional help&tips by joining my discord and using the craft/build help channels.
Check here before crafting anything ->
https://poedb.tw/us/Modifiers
->General Tip
You can use Awakener orb and make any item double influnced. Check poedb website if you're up for a challenge. Or simply use double influenced items cause they look cooler.
Every item needs to be at least shaper influnced. Or you'll lose a lot of dps.
-> Bow
Buy shaper influenced Bone / Ivory bow. Spine bow also works but requires higher dex so i do not recommend it.
Use Essence of Woe(spell damage) and spam until you hit "Socketed gems are supported by lvl x Cast on crit"
If you want a better bow, check for 1 open prefix, use orb of annulment if needed. If you brick the item, repeat the same process until you get open prefix.
Use crafting bench to craft cannot roll attack modifiers. Exalted orb slam and you have a very high chance to get "Damage pen ele res / +1 lvl of socketed gems / Physical damage as extra cold" on the prefix.
For the suffixes, if they all suck, craft cannot roll prefixes then use veiled chaos orb. Unveil the bow by blocking a bad modifier from crafting bench.
Good veiled options; Double damage / Double Damage while Focused / Crit multi near unique enemy / Crit chance+Str+Int / Attack speed(maybe?)
In the end your bow needs to have;
PREFIXES SUFFIXES
Cast on crit Critical chance+Str+Int
Spell damage Crit multi/Crit multi near unique
Damage pen/Phy as extra cold/+1 lvl gems Double damage / Double damage focused
Attack speed
-> Quiver
Vile arrow quiver base type for physical damage as extra chaos damage
Get one with shaper or crusader influence, use alteration orbs until you get tier 1 phy as extar cold(shaper) / phy as extra lightning(crusader)
Get the other influence modifier on a random quiver(base type doesn't matter / buy something ready from trade site)
Use awakener orb on the random quiver, then click Vile arrow quiver. You'll have a Vile arrow quiver with phy as extra cold and phy as extra lightning at the same time.
Check for any good stats, if quiver is shit -> try again(this is really cheap to try)
Good stats -> Life , accuracy , resists , open suffix to craft "Gain frenzy charge on crit strike" (If you craft this, do not use frenzy on your manaforged arrows setup, replace that with enhance support)
-> Helmet
Heatshiver is a unique helmet, but it's the only Leather Hood base.
Buy a random Leather hood (68+ilvl), use any Conqueror exalted orb to make it influenced. Buy a random shaper influenced helmet(non-unique)
Use Awakener orb on shaper(random helmet), click Leather hood last. You'll have a double influenced Leather hood(shaper+something)
Buy Omen of Fortune(3.22 Ancestor League) , Use orb of chance on the helmet -> 100% chance it's gonna turn into double influenced cool looking Heatshiver!
Recommended combo -> Crusader + Shaper
-> Gloves
If you're making the low budget version, your gloves are gonna be Hrimsorrow unique gloves. Use the same method above to craft a shaper influnced one.
Rare gloves;
Your character mostly gonna need accuracy or dexterity. You also need some spell suppression to hit 100% cap.
Finally you'll need open prefix to craft "Physical damage converted into Lightning damage"
Try buying something from trade site, if no results then use any essence of your liking(it can be life essence, resist or dex essence)
PREFIXES SUFFIXES
Life Accuracy / Dex
Open prefix->Physical convert lightning Resist / Attack speed
-> Boots
People already use these kind of boots on regular cast on crit builds. I bought myself from someone else. Easy to find and buy one. If you want a better one, try crafting yourself.
Shaper influence -> Cooldown recovery rate
Hunter influence -> Tailwind
Use awakener orb and try as much as you want until you get a good boots.
PREFIXES SUFFIXES
Life Cooldown recovery rate
Movement speed Tailwind
Resist / Dexterity
-> Belt
Honestly i have no idea to craft this belt. I just bought something from the trade site. Flask modifiers don't have any tag.
I guess you can try essence or chaos orb spamming OR check craftofexile for fossil combinations(maybe it's better)
Pray to RNG to craft a good belt LOL. Check the trade site first!
Your belt is the key to have 100% uptime on all of your flasks. This is a pathfinder build. You need to drink your flasks all the time. Buy / craft a belt so you have 100% uptime on everything.
PREFIXES SUFFIXES
Life Flask effect duration
Open prefix -> %increased damage Reduced flask charges used !!! You dont need 3 of them at the same time. Get a combo and check your own pob for 100% uptime !!!
Increased Flask charges gained
Resist
-> Amulet
There are lots of different stat combinations that you can use. You should just buy the amulet from trade site.
I don't think it is possible to craft a godly amulet without using ridiculous fossil combinations and burning dozens of divine orbs. Check craftofexile if you are rich.
Just get any combo and put that in pob to test your dps.
PREFIXES SUFFIXES
+1 level of all skill gems / +1 dex gem / +1 str gem (get one) Crit multiplier
Physical as extra cold / Physical as extra lightning Resist
Spell damage Dex/Str
Life Accuracy
