Bizzarro Shav's looking real sick mechanically and artistically. I'm thinking it's best for some kind of Lowlife Hiero?

Yeah that item looks epic. It'll give me an excuse to play the once-popular low life high mana where instead of CI you just res most of your HP so you can have even more auras. You could also do something goofy like have big mana pool but use spend essence instead of mana with it and MoM

Yeah a low-life build where max life still increases your EHP pool sounds really neat.

Shrapnel ballista and maybe also maybe a self fired rain of arrows with a curse on hit to support the ballistas.

I think you're going to want a fully linked skill for clearing since you can't place the ballistas on top of packs like normal totems

Your right . I rewatched the video announcement and the ballistas spawn like 1 yard from you. Hmm

Also thinking of jumping into the balkista bandwagon but also really not looking forward to the drudgery of getting a decent endgame or even red maps 6L bow.

Hiero/Chieftain burning arrow (or maybe even elehit or blast rain) or impale Champion, those are the questions.

Is Toxic Rain good for bosses? The internet suggests yes but it's hard to know whether people's "shaper killed in 0.0001 seconds" videos rely on insanely expensive gear or whether it's just a nice to have

Toxic Rain scales really well. To get gently caress-you level DPS you need to have a 7L Elder Thicket bow but you can certainly do all content without one.

stupid good for both self use and totem, but top end damage is dependant on vicious proj +3 pseudolink bows. Normal +3's are good up till end-endgame bosses though, so you can plan a league starter and iterate once we've got conq crafting figured out

tbh the gcp you'll probably have to use on the gem is worth more than the quiver.

At least there are a few 6l white bow div cards

Sure, but your time, especially at league start, is much more valuable than either. If you can easily gather those pieces as you go, the quiver can be a good power boost and speed you toward maps that much better.

I think there should be some improvement on looting currency for the health of players. However a currency vacuum will only devalue many currencies

Those currencies are overvalued if their value depends on whether someone is willing to click them or not. Such an odd fear to have.

Like, who would actually give a poo poo if you got 4x as many scrolls of wisdom when you go to one of the many currency exchange bots for the same price?

All it needs is for picking up a currency item to also pick up other currency items of that type in a radius

Clicking on like 10 or 15 different coin piles if I actually want to gather perandus coins or whatever is really stupid

Might be worth seeing how the build functions without a built-in CoC item in standard, cause who knows how accessible that's gonna be in 3.9

Can't comment on elementalist but personally if I weren't necro I'd just use a different spell to free up a slot for another support gem.

e: threw my setup into a tabula (dropped combustion) and did a t15, seems fine but the numbers were overkill to begin with

Honestly I really like the alien motif of Harbinger but If it was between say Legion or Harbinger then I'm going with Legion. Sucks that it's pricey, but I've always been a Bold player myself so here's to :rolldice:

EDIT: Domination just means regular-rear end shrines and not the weird ones from the league, right? I didn't play that one. This means more Gulls and Tamings right? Not that Gulls are super duper I just haven't used one but have grouped with goons who have and I figure Bow League seems a pretty good fit for trying it out on a Ballista or just regular pew pew bow char
