········································­········································­···· ► Yo, we are back again!

First thing: F explodey bow, kinda, sort of... maybe? Nerf is big but it is still good.

This is a Scion (Champion/Deadeye) lifebased, ethical non aura-stacker BAMA version with medium budget requirements. its probably my cheapest BAMA in the past 2 years.

My lifebased Triad-Conversion Necro variant from Harvest got blasted with nerfs. Everything that made it good got absolutely destroyed (Thul Spectres, Mistress, Glancing Blows, Vengefuls etc.).

After messing around in POB, I came to the realization that Necro has no redeeming thing left for a lifebased BAMA build. Thats why I set out to find a new variant to fill the void, that can sorta keep up with the much more superior CI-aurabot.

This Ascendant BAMA combines Champion and Deadeye for huge deeps, pathing the same way as the old Deadeye's and solves survivabillity with Acro/Phase Acro + Wind Dancer + Vaal Grace + Evasion. It has only 5% less skilleffect duration than Necro, a smoother leveling experience and can phase Sirus on a 30-40ex budget.

It features some new ideas like Militant Faith @ 120 Devotion for very efficient dps gains aswell as some handy 100% Elemental Ailment Avoidance.

The build uses one 12 point large cluster. Due to difficulties crafting it, I have not included the life stat, but we still take all the damage we can get get on it. This cluster is reasonably easy to craft with Caster/Speed Harvest Reforges if you ignore the Life stat. It easily beats a 2 cluster setup while remaining more point efficient. Fire/Lightning/Life reforges are for your Ghastly Jewels.

Despite Diadem/Eldritch Battery, the upfront mana cost of the clones is so high, that this build has to use some flat Energy Recovery on Ghastlys to sustain the rotation. Good thing those are generally regarded as trash stats and such jewels can be picked up for rather cheap with good damage stats/life rolls.

A Torrent belt has also increased ES Recovery and can help sustain the cost while also speeding the build up. I have not included the belt to keep the budget lower, but it is an option.

The new Unveiling and T4 Aisling changes made bow crafting alot cheaper and the bows stronger!

The crafting process for my bow:

• bring bow to 30% quality (this is important for later)

• Fear Essence until Weapon Elemental Damage

• clean off 3. Prefix and have atleast 1 open Suffix

• visit T4 Aisling and add a Veiled Mod

• check if its a Prefix, if not remove crafted mod before unveiling, and go again

• if its a Prefix, unveil and hope for Elemental Penetration (chance seems quite high)

• if you get the right unveil, GZ, the annoying part is over, if not try 1/3 annul, if you fail start again

• with the 3 Prefixes sorted, we craft Prefixes cannot be changed

• slap the bow with a Veiled Chaos orb

• unveil into 1 out of 2 attack speed Veiled Mods. Bloodrage cannot be triggered by clones, but its still a 15% attack speed mod. If you are tight on budget stop here for now, you can recraft the suffixes later with the same process. The mod we are looking for is the hybrid attack speed/18% quality mod. With 48% base quality and the attack speed enchant we get 6% attack speed from the enchant (1% per 8% Quality) and 15% from the mod for a total of 21% local attack speed. Thats only 1% less than a natural T1 AS roll + enchant.

• you can repeat the "Prefix cannot be changed + Veiled Chaos Orb step" until you hit the right mod, without bricking your bow. Don't forget to craft "prefixes cannot be changed" every time! Its 2 ex per try, which is cheaper than the 5-6ex Speed Aug/ Speed Reroll method during Ritual & Harvest.

• benchcraft Minion Attack Speed/ Cast Speed and you are done

If you have questions you can hit me up in Discord (Previe#7918) or ingame (Prevy).
