I confess that for a non-native English speaker, it's much easier when the pob is detailed with gems, links and example equipment. I'm very grateful for your work.
Thank you so much for your help to the community. I am a relatively new bow user but I fell in love with LA last league and would love to advance it to TS in 3.23. I will be following your POB's and suggestions with great interest and appreciation.
Tota was my very first league and finding reliable sources in a vast sea of content makers has been confusing for a newbie. Thank you so much for putting in all the work on making this guide. I love that you really break down every aspect of the build, even though I don't completely understand everything! Please keep up the immense effort, I'll be looking forward to all of your future video guides :)
Glad we no longer need to complete the campaign 3x to unlock endgame. Game has changed a lot! Yet, here I am determined to learn this game.. again! Thank you very much for all your time stamps.
Great Videos Thank you for taking the time to research and present all of this material. My only suggestion would be to have the PowerPoint display in fullscreen when recording the videos. When the PowerPoint isn't fullscreen it makes it a bit difficult to see the small images. (You can tell the PPT isnt full screen in the video because the PPT icons on the bottom left hand side do not match up with the bottom left hand side of the video.) Also, I think a good video idea would be to go into detail about Manaforge Arrow and the various things you can do with it. (Many new players don't know which skills to use with it or that you can use it with things such as Hextouch and Cast on Crit (for late game).
Great explanation of trinity, I thought it was like Elemental Equilibrium but apparently there's a bit more to it. Haven't played poe since Heist and looking forward to getting back into it this league.
Loving the guide, between me and making choice & the number of bait video i really struggle to find a good LG i know i want to play EK ignite once i get the currency to do it but why not playing LA for a league start making a Woc Witch later is not a problem, anyway thanx for the clean content !
I'm planning to make 2 characters this league, starting with an Explosive Trap Trickster or Sabo, and when I build up some spare currency, make a Deadeye for mapping. Rain of Arrows, Lightning Arrow - I'll see which I like more, depending on how things go I might swap to Elemental Hit ballistas, played EH ballista Hierophant and it was great, Deadeye even stronger. So this guide will be very useful.
I think it might actually be a bug. I think the conversion from mana to life cost makes the 300% count as 300% of the mana cost. Usually a cost or reservation multiplier just adds to the base cost of a skill. Manaforged arrows might just be taking the initial mana cost before the life tap calculation happens because it can't deal with the conversion for some reason.
I saw someone explain this. Manaforged arrows fire when we spend 300% of the manaforged abilities manacost. With lifetap, the manacost is now 0. So any time an attack triggers the manaforged arrow setup, it'll conclude that we've spent more than 300% of 0 mana, which is 0, and thereby fire. Whether that's a bug, or the intended use, i don't know for sure.
Why did you say that you have max 25 resonance of each element? (19:35) I'm asking bcs we have literally gem description and it's says "There is a maximum of 50 Resonance for each element" and maybe there a hidden tech that I dont get. About deadeye asc: there is cool shrapnel ballista + sniper's mark setup (~200% mark\curse effect and 300%+ proj speed + returning projectiles) that can carry our dps through guards even if we have 2digit dps elebow, so it will be an option to drop Ricochet for Focal Point (dropping Ricochet bcs small asc points from Far Shot path increase proj speed) or get Focal Point in 4th lab skiping Ricochet. That setup is just B-plan in case where you need farm bosses\invitations in few first days of league Cool content, ty for your work
Could you cover the Ice Shot builds? It is my favourite build and I am so excited to build it with the new lab rewards, but I will totes give galvanic and lighting arrow a go.
Can you start off with tornado build if u got a vharacter whit little Chaos? and few 6 linksbows and armor ? Amybe not the end game but still 6 links good until i get better instead of go lightning arrow then TS
this looks amazing! Super excited to try it for this league. Im still new but i love sanctum, what changes would you make to a TS Sanctum runner? Thank you if you do see this and have time to answer. if not thank you still !!
I was also confused by this at first but I believe those nodes are taken to accommodate the Inspiried Learning gem. I've been using blood rage to get frenzy charges, however, it's probably not the best way to do it. I think frenzy on manaforged is the better way to get charges going. I don't believe power charges are being acquired at this point. Hope this helps
Attempting to test out manaforged before leaguestart as I haven't played since 3.20. I'm slotting manaforged like he says in his PoB but it doesn't seem to proc at all? I'm using lightning arrow on a 6L w/ lifetap and manaforged with frenzy, power charge on hit and lifetap on a 4L. Took it into some maps but as far as I can tell the manaforged setup isn't proccing at all. I don't seem to be getting any frenzy or power charges even after blasting through the entire map. I assume there's a small something I'm missing that's stopping the effect from happening but I can't figure out what.
for trinity, i think white is actually cold resonance no? and then lightning is blue. because in your first example, you have blue and red resonance and high cold dmg. i think the colors are totally flipped if thats the case and cold should be blue cause its confusing if im right
I have a quick question, in case I am either not understanding or there was a typo. For the crit swap, the slide recommended to swap after we complete the third lab (around level 55). Are you really able to complete the level 68 3rd lab with only a level 55 character? I have never attempted the 3rd lab that early.
Mikoshi. My only concern is going with Warden of the Maji. First, how long can we go without gems in our boots and/or helmet? We will be gem slot starved very soon. I can see this benefiting the speed runners. Second concern is that the Warden of the Maji requires Flask slots. Which flasks are you willing to sacrifice? Personally, I'm leaning toward Wildwood Primalist so I can tailor my choices. Thanks always for your hard work and great guides!
hey, I think I did touch on that, but here is what I think. Go for it, then spec for tinctures, once u reach endgame and don't need extra zoom and or ele res, take off that point
I'd say go Warden of the Maji first. Then, once you can actually afford the charms to make it worthwhile, go for the Wildwood Primalist -- depending on how the numbers shake out.
"How long can we go without gems in our boots and/or helmet?" - well actually u can drop one manaforge setup to simply get 30 ms or 50all res, its up to you what u prefere. I will simply drop one manaforge arrow setup and zoom on maps with 30% ms and i will use it only on bosses like maven etc.
does anyone have any tips to find magi other than follwlowing yellow. i am on console. It feels as if ggg nerfed finding him early. I found him of pc quick.
@@mikoshomikoshi interesting! i was always under the impression that people swap to crit in red maps once they can afford a good bow. ive never seen a crit swap so early on but now im curious to try it lol
Other than having a thesis on every slide being read out to me, i thought it was a really good guide... the presentation format gave me ptsd from attending physics conferences, but i think theres hope and you can improve
I have a question for you. Why go LA at league start instead of TS? i go TS every league and its doing more than good. is LA that more op than TS? i though it was the other way around
TS is the biggest mistake for league start, not as strong than la and is often a bait noob trap. However, once you have actual gear, ts will be better, it simply requires a bit more investing for it to shine. Think of your skills like cars and ur currency as fuel, TS is a Lamborghini but with basic fuel it won’t even start (couldn’t think of another example)
I believe you. its just that i start TS every league and im MORE than ok to rush red map and do my watchstone. but if LA is even better, why not! @@mikoshomikoshi
Just keep in mind LA is probably gonna suck hard for Ultimatum. If you're skipping that content, then don't worry about that, but if you want to do Ultimatum, I'd choose something else.
I don’t mean to be an ass, but whoever told you to open your videos with 10 mins of PowerPoint is doing it wrong bro. Show the build, we don’t need the slides. By the time I’m 15 mins into your build I’ve read 14 novels worth of PowerPoint.

Thanks, gem progression very appreciated, so I can easily drop that into the exile levelling tool 🙇♂
Great video! Best guide i have watched so far. Very good structure and very well explained!

Nice bro! Im still debating what ill league start as but i know bows are the way to go . Thanks for guide .
Thank you for your discord server. Incredible people there! Fixed my little TS build in a matter of literally minutes!
Thanks for making this guide. I wasnt going to play this season, but you made a strong case to try a bow build again 😁

For the manaforged part, that’s a great idea actually ! Thx
thanks for the videos, help a lot! continue the good work!

I'm assuming lifetap triggers the manaforged arrow due to the cost multiplier on the support gem

Early Mapping with Inspired Learning is not possible for me. Do you have another early tree?

Hi, what are you looking for with the lethal pride in the pob? Strength?
Yes, more of an attribute issue, as well, certain bonuses are helpful such as DD, etc
I've always played big beefy Juggs for my league start (3rd league) so looking forward to giving LA a stab this league
My best build ever was two leagues ago I did LA/TS. I think I’m coming back home for 3.23
i cant figure out where you're getting frenzy and power charges from/why you're taking those northern nodes on the early endgame tree
I was also confused by this at first but I believe those nodes are taken to accommodate the Inspiried Learning gem. I've been using blood rage to get frenzy charges, however, it's probably not the best way to do it. I think frenzy on manaforged is the better way to get charges going.

@@CrypticFuels I actually found blood rage worked pretty well when I remember to hit it lol

what a gamer
Can I play this build by changing GEM from LA to TS instead?
When to transition from LA to TS? lvl 90+ with good mid tier bow?
btw, good guide ;)
Vidéo on that soon
nice work bro, dont forget abuse shrapnel ballista
Artillery Ballista >
@@lulw1061 just put in search youtube "shrapnel ballista mark stacking"
First video, am i change your mind ?
@@OlejaBeastyYT well i was talking about it as support for TS not as standalone build, for that shrapnel seems better
@@lulw1061 did u saw jungroan's vid? Shrapnel not main skill, just for bossing. You could play it with LA or TS
Due to the squishy nature of Lightning Arrow builds, what do you think about Ultimatum farming with it?
Imo, not good. Bow builds have their strength, but ulti is not it unless you have big budget
So for leveling, is it better to stick with ballistas over no totem manaforge setup?
Will this starter setup work well with ultimatum as well since I intend to do quite a bit of ultimatum this league?
Do you think LA/tornado shot will be good if wanting to do ultimatum? Sanctum?
TS for sanctum is nutty. For ultimatum, solo, might be hard if not high end player that knows what he is doing
does anyone have any tips to find magi other than follwlowing yellow. i am on console. It feels as if ggg nerfed finding him early. I found him of pc quick.
what flat damage bench craft are you recommend? cold or lightning or fire
Whichever that helps you proc Trinity
can you run manaforged AND totems? :D
hi! why do we swap to crit after lab 3? is it just because thats when we can get enough crit from tree?
I find it is smoothest. Experience and by looking at speed runners as well.
@@mikoshomikoshi interesting! i was always under the impression that people swap to crit in red maps once they can afford a good bow. ive never seen a crit swap so early on but now im curious to try it lol
Do you need to buy boss carries for 4/4 voidstones on LA?
I dont, some do. Would depend on skills
@@mikoshomikoshi Sounds good. Thanks for the response.
MF arrow goes off on lifetap bc it isn’t spending mana❤ so instead it triggers off the cooldown.
i was thinking about goin for Raider RoA until finish my atlas and then swap to Deadeye LA for blasting legion. What you think about it?
Works well
Fusion's Guides in the description link is dead.
Ok will re send thx
Aoe overlap is not shotgun. Shotgun was removed - minus Shrapnel Ballista, which has it listed explicitely. Fix it.
I know I suck but the idea of a 50 divine build is crazy to me.
Can this build do ultimatum well?
No stay away imo, unless you have aurabot
life tam makes ability cost 0 mana no?
Indeed
Other than having a thesis on every slide being read out to me, i thought it was a really good guide... the presentation format gave me ptsd from attending physics conferences, but i think theres hope and you can improve

Thanks god no totems
I wish I saw this 2 weeks ago, since fast clear builds seem to be awesome, instead I'm now tens of hours into boneshatter and bored with it.
Lightning is spelled wrong in the thumbnail
oh thx for letting me know
caustic arrow also good but not user friendly for new player

My league star is always the same wait one week then get boosted by my friends aura bot until I get all four watch stones. Easy game.
Trinity has a resonance cap of 50 not 25, you nerfed the gem massively
Just keep in mind LA is probably gonna suck hard for Ultimatum. If you're skipping that content, then don't worry about that, but if you want to do Ultimatum, I'd choose something else.
True
Is the bone zone gonna be a better choice for that? I’ve been debating bone zone and LA for my second league
we need full skill gems pob
PoB seems empty!
i think LA level 12 is perfectly fine, esp rain of arrow sucks as fuck
Eh, the fact that no need additional proj or pierce helps a ton, but as said in guide, if you feel comfy, you can swap early
Just start using LA in level 12, you'll thank me later
Thats what I do, but for new players, not suggested
Algorithms
Fix the thumbnail lol
Nice work but way to long
45 mins of text that people need to read for an LA build? Bro, come on. You can put LA gem into your bow and clear red maps. What is going on?
Some ppl don’t know mechanics and stuff. You can always just skip the video and take POB
I don’t mean to be an ass, but whoever told you to open your videos with 10 mins of PowerPoint is doing it wrong bro. Show the build, we don’t need the slides.
