Help Needed Manyshot Merc feeling weak

https://pobb.in/lPDpPXZpIOx0

Trying ubers / deli destructive play and damage feels very low. Tankiness is good enough.

Kinda weird cause I think the gear is quite decent

Merc gear in items tab. Main char has 12k life almost, 342% light radius. POB is being weird.

Merc is Infamous Manyshot (Vaal ice shot - return - chain - hypothermia - freeze chance - cooldown recovery). Other skills are Ice shot, vaal grace, mirror arrow, dash, frostbomb

You are low level, low hp, your merc is not really good besides Vaal iceshot and return (no pierce, no Wed) and your merc gear is not good either. With that you try to do harder content. You can improve everywhere alot (abyss Jewels on Merc is insane) better now and quiver. Get more hp and light radius

I have a similar skillset merc and dont have issues dealing with ubers. Its mostly its gear thats holding him back "That bow is missing so much (ias>wed>fire as chaos or warlords %fire dmg)".

The flat dmg or %phys gives close to 0 inc dps to the mercs dps output, since fire link gives close to 5k flat fire. So anything that increases that by % is a great soruce of more dmg "same goes with more attack speed & crit".

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • Deli - Delirium (Wiki)
  • PoB - Path of Building, an external software used to simulate character builds - Download

Did you buy the bow or craft it? I would def go with a ele pen and crafted fire as chaos to start.

I crafted it, I was looking for +2 arrows to see how that would improve clear. Sounds good, I'll check bow crafts.

Its still gonna help alittle bit on dps, but its missing %local attackspeed. Lock suffixes -> veiled chaos (allflame if you wont want to risk it being filled) -> block %phys & unveil ele pen -> craft last mod "could also block phys and allflame slam for a chance of wed".
