decent enough to be able to run up to t15 maps

hiho

Should be able to get stupid damage with:

Chinsol + 2X Collateral damage

i'd prefer something like a guide and that.

50 fg for a good one sounds good to me?

I am running a 5.2k life 12k armour IF phase acro AA ice shot deadeye budget build in scrubcore atm. The character is HC viable but you'll need better equipment than what I have. But I'm quite frankly giving away all my stuff to one friend who is collecting for a HH lol. My current tooltip is 73k with 5 projectiles and 100% pierce chance on ice shot, at level 92.

This is running Chin Sol, Rat's Nest, The Perfect Form and the rest is rare, with a chain setup:

Once you can afford a better bow, Pierce is the better way to go (your damage output will simply greatly exceed chin sol and chain mechanic bonusses):

My most expensive piece of equipment is my bow, a 6L death's opus with 125% phys dmg, the rest doesn't exceed 10c per item.


My current linkage is Ice Shot, Added Cold, Faster Attacks, LMP, Weapon Elemental Damage and Pierce. I use 1 Omen on the Wind jewel to achieve 100% pierce on Ice Shot. This setup is suboptimal: Faster Attacks is not the best for your damage, but it does give you a bit of mobility by being able to move quicker after shooting once. A personal preference.

My ST is currently a 5L blast rain with Blast Rain, Weapon Elemental Damage, Faster Attacks, Added Cold and Increased Crit Damage. This is VERY suboptimal. I haven't done my homework enough to know what's better and it's done the job just fine so I'm awaiting 6L success to look into this. The end result as is, is 23k tooltip (quadriple this to get a realistic damage from Blast Rain on a target, is what I usually go with).

Furthermore, I use Arctic Armour, Hatred and Herald of Ice. The AA is free to use because of The Perfect Form.
I have a Curse on Hit, CWDT, Ice Nova, Temp Chains setup. This mainly helps me with breaches, but isn't so necessary.

Considerations
-I have literally avoided using charges and jewel nodes because I didn't want to spend on equipment to justify those two things. There are plenty, plenty of ways to get a lot further than 72k. In fact, just optimalizing equipment will probably top 100k tooltip. But that's really redundant, I breeze through t15 trash like it doesn't exist.

-Ideally you'll be using a 550 pDPS bow because of multipliers available. Critical stuff can easily be dropped end-game in order to achieve maximum flat damage and with it, some passive nodes to spend on in example jewel nodes.

-Just drop some damage for elemental resistance in the passive tree if your budget build cannot cut it otherwise. It takes 2 passives to get 18@ all res with 36% evasion (=36% armour).


Pros
-One of the most fun ways to clear trash mobs imo!

-Lots of room for variation, both equipment wise as damage/survivability wise. i.e. can try lightning coil + victario's acuity and get frenzies build up as a Pathfinder/Raider/Deadeye, you can pick up a rearguard to be able to facetank crap, you can even equip a Brisco's and get away with it, for extra goodies $_$ can try Barrage over blast rain for ST

Cons
-Ele reflection is all I say D:

-ST damage is subpar with most other builds

-Is a life build. Who uses life these days?

-Some bosses have too high burst to complete, but this'll happen for most similar builds; if you want to pop all bosses you'll have to find an ignite build.
