Here is my flask setup

since I have a mana flask, im thinking of crafting 'aspect of the spider' to the belt and use it instead of clarity to boost damage (maybe :P), how cha think bout it?

So i bought a headhunter, cool vaal too, does anyone have tips on how to improve game-play (mapping-wise) with it, cause i don't think its effects cost 90 ex, i could've roll a perfect quiver with this amount of currency.
So i know there's a temporal chains setup and we can actually get at least 2 slots for inspired learning, but have anyone actually got a working build with this, or is this just an expensive toy for us?

hey man, i follow your guide for year now, my favorite league starter always!!
Awesome job, and the details!!!
I`ve been trying my self on HC mode, but always get killed by Piety or some boss that don`t give me time to react =/
Any tips or things i can change in the build? or is just a "git good" problem?

Spider gives roughly 7% more damage. The utility it gives (30% reduced ms) is more impactful than the damage. Crab is still better for defence since EHP is the only thing evasion builds lack.

HH scales hit builds the most. DoT based builds are only really affected by extra speed/defence from it. IMO it's not worth for any build that doesn't clear more than whole screen in single shot.

No matter which Piety you're facing it's definitely "git gud" option. She can be threatening since this patch tho. There's only lightning storm which can't really be dodged and deals hefty amounts of damage. It's best to invest in some lightning resistance. Even single Topaz Ring should make the whole fight much, much easier.

really like the build, was looking for something bow-related that wasn't iceshot this patch. I have been scratching my head at how POB states that you have 75% ev chance at about 14k ev rating, while i'm at 71% at 26k ev rating. Maybe POB is acting up?

also first time posting so im sorry!

From experience, CA won't get a lot of benefits from HH. All the "phys as extra" and crit buffs don't really increase your DPS. Also any build with HH by itself without self-cursing or at minimum Solstice Vigil, will feel pretty lackluster compared to streams/videos of maxed out juicing characters. It's a definitive overall boost, but because it's random + hard to maintain over 20 buffs, it plays more like The Gull on steroids.

Toxic Rain, which has far more effective AoE and hits, actually works pretty good with self-cursing and full juice investment into the maps, Your tooltip hit DPS can get into six digits easily, will actually crit, and Mirage Archer will go nuts if you steal Soul Eater.

Personally I think you will get more out of Headhunter on a different build, basically anything that hits and scales with crit, even better if it's converted phys damage. If you are used to playing with Mirage Archer (auto attack), I can attest to both Winter Orb and Blade Vortex being great choices that will absolutely shred the game with self-curse setups.

In the vanilla-HH-meantime, to get the most you definitely want to be running all your maps with +mob sextants and beyond, even better with a master mission and any +mob scarabs (breach, harbinger, ambush, perandus, legion). Make sure your loot filter is only showing items you want to pick up, and consider skipping out on <alch currency that may take too much time to pick up.

yeah, even with the jade flask up, I am about 10% removed from the POB values of the build

Imported your char into pob, says 83% with jade flask.

Go to config and tick -> do you have onslaught? That should account for avatar of the chase.

From the FAQ:

"

Q: How do i know that i'm evade chance capped?
A: Check your character sheet (C) and find estimated chance to evade attacks. With flasks activated you need ~73% to be capped. That's assuming you have onslaught buff active which enables Raider's 30% more chance to evade. That buff is not included in those calculations.

I did not include 15% less monster accuracy while phasing debuff as it should be treated as an extra buffer against certain monster/map mods.

Looks like you're more than good according to these outlines.
