You can pob this and see how much damage it adds. But generally a 3-link will do very little damage in comparison to a 6-link, and even less when compared to a 6-link in a weapon that buffs the socketed skill.

Most cases of maloney's use are for utility skills like frenzy (for frenzy charges), hextouch + curse (for automatic curse) or culling strike.

I've seen people use it on toxic rain builds with caustic arrow + arrow nova but that's probably just to clear white mobs in maps which doesn't need significant damage.

From my personal experience, playing with maloney's and asenath's chant looks fancy but doesn't add as much damage as expected. They're at best useful for auto-proccing utility skills.
Hi there, playing your build and having a blast so far. Your guide is very informative and step by step, great stuff.

I have a noob question, sorry if has been asked before.
I have 6 CA at level 19, and you mentioned that I should Vaal them after reaching level 20, but should I use gems to upgrade the quality of all of them to 20 before vaaling?

Basicly, how do you get a 21/20 CA gem?
Thanks in advance and great guide, be well :)

That's up to you.

If you play SSF getting any lvl 21 earlier than later is a boon.

If you play trade, lvl 21/0 CA was 15c yday on softcore trade so you might wanna just buy it for now, and flip your gems for quality (sell lvl 20 gem with 1 gcp to get lvl 1 / 20% qual) and relevel them, and then vaal after they're 20/20.

Quality on CA only adds area size not damage so it's not super important, it's more of a QoL upgrade.

What's your opinion on using an anomalous CA?

It's useless. Both alt quals are. The dot part does not count as a hit. Only initial arrow does and you aren't spamming that.

Is this build viable for SSF?

Author plays in SSF HC most leagues. 6-link bow can be farmed from div cards. Doesn't need specific uniques. All the crafting info is in the guide.

So.. yes.
