u making me want to switch to koams after i just bought LC, feelsbadman ;[

kappa

Haha :-)

There are pluses and minuses either way - and I suspect that the effective health is pretty close as well. And those 6 sockets you have with coil are worth quite a bit so LC isn't by any means a bad choice. I went coil myself a few leagues back when I was somewhat following Havoc's Poison Arrow character.

For what it's worth I slightly prefer LC over Kaom's - but if I already had Kaom's I wouldn't switch unless I couldn't stand the loss of sockets.

With LC Havoc went dual curse and used something like:

Ice Shot - Curse on Hit - Vulnerability - Temp Chains - GMP

Ice Shot plus Temp Chains slows mobs to a crawl which makes melee mobs really safe to kill.

This sort of setup just isn't possible with Kaom's.

Grats! Me likey.

I'm assuming this is still a viable build in 2.4 or no? I wanted to get started with a budget MF build and have no idea of what to pick.

I picked this build to start the Essence league with. I think it's very viable as an MF build. It does require attention and encourages an active play style. If leaning back with a bag of Doritos while your totems MF for you is more your style, look somewhere else. I played bow builds during the previous three leagues, so the play style felt natural to me.

This build does take a while to get going. It's easier now, since it's easier to buy leveling gear now. I leveled with shrapnel shot, then LMP lightning arrow and finally GMP tornado shot until my CA got gud. Leveling as a caster should be possible as well, but I didn't feel comfortable doing that.

For me the build started going at lvl 70-ish, having a +2 5-link bow and lvl 17 caustic arrow (CA > void manip. > conc. effect > inc. aoe > pierce). The next big jump in power happened after whacking normal and cruel Izaro for the deadeye ascendancy (replacing inc. aoe with slower projectiles).

Estimated startup cost: around 5-7 chaos for a +2 5-link and a few chaos for basic resist/mf/leveling gear. For leveling without leveling gear, use essences often if you're playing in the league.

Yep.

The moment this build isn't viable is the moment I re-title it "SHIT BUILD NOW CYA LATER."
