Poison BAMA - Day 3 Progression ~ POE Phrecia

Day 3 and 4: Finished my Atlas progression and got my first crafts done.

Upgrades:

• Endgame Quiver done
• 6 link Widowhail
• +1 Spectre Conquest Lamellar
• Perfect Warlord for Endurance Charges
• 4th Spectre added (Perfect Serpent Warrior, because was collecting dust in my stash. Just a placeholder until I get more minion defense for Spectral Leader)

Progression:

Not entirely sure how I wanted to proceed, I decided to start my first Recombinator project: crafting a +1 Spectre body armour. The market for these can dry up quickly if a few people start crafting, so I wanted to complete this before getting into Monster Hunter Wilds.

Note: This isn't necessary - Poison Bama can perform well without a 5th Spectre. Currently my 4th Spectre is just placeholder. This was a waste of currency at this stage of the build. Only do this if you're looking to min/max or have nothing better to do.

Crafting the +1 Spectre Armour:

In the process, I went through a dozen delve +1 Spectre armours (costing 10-30c each). The total crafting cost for my current version was under 10-12 divines if I had to guesstimate.

My final Recombinator pieces looked like this:

Lamellar 1: +1 Spectre T1 Defense Mod 1 Random Suffix Random Suffix Crafted Dex

Lamellar 2: T1 Defense Mod 1 T1 Defense Mod 2 Crafted Int

My first attempt failed to transfer the Spectre mod, but the result was still usable since both defense mods remained. I prepared another +1 Spectre Conquest Lamellar and hit it on the second try.

Final Result: T1 Flat Armour/Evasion T1 % Armour/Evasion +1 Spectre T2 Res

I then slammed another res, bench-crafted a third, and settled. I'll Eldritch recraft the suffixes later.

Possible optimization:

Lock Prefixes → Phys Harvest reroll into T1 Phys DR Lock Prefixes → 50/50 Veiled Orb into any Res/Chaos Bench-crafted Spell Suppression ("only" 10% from the body is manageable on this build)

Crafting my Endgame Quiver:

Next, I worked on my endgame quiver since I didn’t want to waste currency on a temporary bow. Widowhail + Quiver would be my biggest upgrade for both damage and defense if I could craft a solid quiver.

In previous leagues, I always managed to craft a decent one for under 15 divs if I settled for T2-T3 prefixes.

Crafting Process:

Bought 2 ilvl 86 Vile Quiver bases in case I wanted T1 Bow Damage later.

Bought ~2 divs worth of Alts to roll for Damage over Time Multi and to prepare the bases.

First Hunter Exalted Orb hit Poison Chance (failed). Second Hunter Exalted Orb hit T1 Chaos DoT Multi (success).

I Chaos reforged Prefixes for Flat Chaos and started spamming Exalts/Annuls with "Cannot roll Attack Modifiers".

After 2 divs + a few Exalts/Annuls, I hit T2 Bow Damage + Life and settled.

Final Costs: Alts: ~2d 2x Hunter’s Orb: 2.4d Multimod: 2d + 1d for Cloister Map Suffixes Cannot Be Changed: 2d Cannot Roll Attack Mods: 1d Exalts/Annuls: ~1d

With the quiver done, I bought the cheapest 240% Widowhail I could find and six-linked it using Black Morrigan.

Current Spectre setup: Perfect Guardian Turtle + Perfect Forest Warrior + Perfect Warlord + Perfect Serpent Warrior
