So, I tried it out in season 4. Adapted zodiac traits based on what you looked for. I have every rune linked save for Piercing since I only have 5 whatever-you-call-thems on my Spread Shot. Currently Lvl 70 in Act 11. Zero mana issues, so love the build for that; but it doesn't hit hard enough and so I'm always rolling/trick shotting away. It's a fun build, but I have to be careful when mapping unlike the Cross Lightning build I switched from. Neither build hits hard enough imo, though with CL I guzzle mana to the point I'm worried I'll run out of pots. Guess I'll keep looking for an archer build that just works in season 4.
YT won't let me edit, so adding this to say.. I completely overlooked the rest of the build guide in the description. Now I hit hard enough and never worry about mana. This is the most complete build guide I've seen, so tyvm for making it. Hope everything is going well for you in life and you return to your channel soon!
Please reveal the power of your skill:A quick slash with an awakening to flicker. For this there is a necklace, a belt, a two-handed sword 32, and a new two-handed ax with a 34 base to reduce recharge. The chain of forced attacks is called.Thank you. This will be real content.
Separately, like for the correct advice on awakening the rune to deplete armor. Yes! This awakening is the strongest, and 10 stacks are gained very quickly. Anything that lives longer than 2.5 seconds. Elite warriors, bosses, etc. And the difference between another awakening is huge. 16%
What skill rune alternatives can I use for Thorn Explosion, I only have Area Affect and Concentrated Area Affect. Also, any alternative for Amp Phys Projectile DMG? Been trying and trying and I can't seem to get it. Thanks.
Thanks for your guide. However, i dont understand why this combo doesnt work, it seems be Spell rune is not active when i connect Spread Shot with Thorn. Is there anything is i miss here ?
can i remove the multishot for like another huge amp .. Or multishot is a must ? .. if u think about it it only give 4*3 amp =12 amp not to mention it has 15 % projectile DMG reduce ..projectile Deceleration give like 27 % amp .. also is shocking debuff better or turning illison arrow to fire for 150 % DMg with x5 stuck ? .. also can i use lower arrmor rune on illusion arrow to apply the debuff and replace it with another dmg amp rune on thorn explosion ? .. also do you think piercing arrow will be better skill to use than spreadshot as it make u do 30 % damage amp on bleeding enemy ? not to mention it benfit from Dot amp % charm
spreadshot far better than piercing arrow atm. multishot still best rune IMO - test it yourself but my #s show this as giving better dmg than another amp rune. you still get tons of dmg amp from lower armor for TE and losing the shock debuff is too big a hit IMO.
Hello my friend. Excellent work. Thanks. Also i have question is it good now to use apread shot with blade of death now? And second question is can i take back resources from runes?
Hello! Do you think Lightning Arrow + Thorn is better than Spread Shot + Thorn? I want to build something for fast clear and also useful for single-target situations, like bosses or some elites. I thought about Rapid Shot too, but idk... Also, I'm lvl 70 currently, but I want to focus on a build.
Hi! I've got a question, if you see this. Recently tried farming constellation of time and in last room when I was resetting it sometimes it lowered my emotions count. I don't know if it's the mobs or some bug, but it went like this I enter with 80 blue points In the middle of a run it downs to 50 after several runs it dropped to 10 All shrines were already activated. I'm confused, is there a mob leeching this energy?
@@philbo9k then can be reactivated? No, and reductions in emotions were happening anywhere no matter how close to shrines or anything. just a room with mobs, boom I have less emotion power. But I was having a lot of runs in the same memory last room, maybe just bug.
@@philbo9k i was playing with Spread shot i switched to Piercing arrow like 2 weeks ago just to try it out, IMO for farming lower maps its the best combo u can get as archer but for sure dammage is way lower with Piercing arrow than spread shot
piercing is a normal grade alchemy synth rune. just keep synthing normal link runes until you get 1. alternatively you could buy the random link rune box from the general vendor for 10k until you get one.

This is some fast clearing build! Thanks Phil!!!

gotta get all of that stuff first xD

yeah this rune was a big win for phys dps
Well done 👍 , please do a spinning dagger, thorn explosion buildi would love to see that tested by you
ill add it to the growing list - spinning dagger is indeed some good fun
is there any reason why thorn explosion reads projectile and can't use projectile addons?
Here for the thumbnail!
Great guide, Philbo! Loved how you detailed the Spreadshot and Thorn Explosion combo for max damage.
my man!
What skill rune alternatives can I use for Thorn Explosion, I only have Area Affect and Concentrated Area Affect. Also, any alternative for Amp Phys Projectile DMG? Been trying and trying and I can't seem to get it. Thanks.

You have the skill on your skill bar somewhere?
@@philbo9kyes, already set them on skill bar. I dont know why but the color of Activation rune doesnt change after placed other rune
came for the thumbnail, thx for the vid!
my pleasure!
Please can you say me is it good to use Focused Strike link rune on Thorn? There are many beneficial area damage effects
dont use it on TE.

BoD is usable but not that great of damage ATM. What do you mean take back resources from runes?
Hello my friend, I tried with the physical, but the damage is always less than the building element, and I do not know why
What links are you running? You have any charm blessing effects or relics affecting your damage?

yeah it's stronger and more defensive w/ the right awakening
@@philbo9k Ok, nice. Thank you so much :)
Hi!
I've got a question, if you see this.
Recently tried farming constellation of time and in last room when I was resetting it sometimes it lowered my emotions count. I don't know if it's the mobs or some bug, but it went like this
I enter with 80 blue points
In the middle of a run it downs to 50
after several runs it dropped to 10
All shrines were already activated.
I'm confused, is there a mob leeching this energy?
hmmm im not sure. haven't heard of this. were you reactivating the shrines?
@@philbo9k then can be reactivated?
No, and reductions in emotions were happening anywhere no matter how close to shrines or anything. just a room with mobs, boom I have less emotion power.
But I was having a lot of runs in the same memory last room, maybe just bug.
Instructions not clear, ended up using Piercing Arrow.
Lol this guy 🤣
I'm actually keen to see Quick Slash (Source)
that awakening gives me a headache xD
can you do build on flames of death with any skill? also do add your personal options as well.
was thinking about doing explosive slash + flames of death but have a few videos ahead of it
i need some absolute begginner guide, i dont even know how to get runes :/ some are apparently not in the shop
check out this guide on different ways to get runes ruclips.net/video/yk110X32fhE/видео.html&t
Bro what’s the best leveling build?
toxic flame, wheel slash, piercing arrow all very good options
Awesome thumbnail. Robin Hood men in tights! What a flashback
i had to change though :( click-through rate was lowest I've had in ages.
The youth today don't appreciate the classics
hey thank you for this guide, what do u think about switching Spread shot and using Piercing arrow instead ?
Piercing Arrow isn't in a great spot at the moment IMO. Not as much damage or clearing power as spread shot.
@@philbo9k i was playing with Spread shot i switched to Piercing arrow like 2 weeks ago just to try it out, IMO for farming lower maps its the best combo u can get as archer but for sure dammage is way lower with Piercing arrow than spread shot
@@alexd9065i wish PA was stronger. it looks sexy.
Where can i buy piercing rune?
piercing is a normal grade alchemy synth rune. just keep synthing normal link runes until you get 1. alternatively you could buy the random link rune box from the general vendor for 10k until you get one.
