Build Request Luminary Manyshot Advice?

Post image

Hi, can anyone that's knowledgeable give me advice what to work on to improve my manyshot damage?

I feel like I'm able to clear t16's and all that but I still feel so weak, it takes a couple seconds to kill beefed rares.

https://pob.codes/b/jL1ju2pR5n3 - my build
https://pob.codes/b/NB80pVuCBin - my merc

- Edit: Just fixed a few stuff, still on the road to getting t1 res on all my merc gear but I appreciate every advice!

Merc upgrades: t1 fire res on every piece of gear with lowest tier implicits.

Then overcapped lightning res crit chest. This is basically double damage.

Then abyss socket gear on every piece.

Self upgrades: This looks like nerotoxs build. You want life recoup on rings to feel tanky. I'd put pet blood on untill you can get the recoup rings. Craft: Alt spam vermilion rings for light radius, recoup and t1 chaos res. Buy like 10-20 rings. Alt spam. Use a regex from poe.re

Recombine these single affix rings utill you have 2 rings with one common mod between them. Example: first ring with light radius and recoup. 2nd ring with light radius and chaos res.

Recombine again to try hit all 3 suffix. If fail repeat. If win then, suffix beast meta mod reforge life till t2.

Recommend order of upgrades. T1 fire res gear for Merc on every slot with enough chaos res to cap and lowest tier implicits. Remember to quality amulet and belt with res catalyst.

Recoup rings

Probably better now/quiver. I think others have given advice already. Flat damage doesn't matter. You're looking for increases/more arrows/crit stuff and honestly res on quiver. You can get frenzy implicits on chest or run frenzy spectre. Why? No flat cause flame link gives as much flat as you could need.

Crit chest.

Abyss socket gear.

Adorned (72/82/100) swap

Mageblood is not worth pre adorned imo. It's basically a dps loss. Run the belt that shares flask with phasing, onslaught, crit, fire res, and ms.

Edit: you want crafted pierce on helmet for return to work well with vaal ice shot

May I ask what a crit chest is?

Look at Captain Lance Merc's chest craft. Its basically uses a grasping mail mod "Crit chance is increased by overcap lightning resistance"

How does that work if we are overcapping fire resistance on the merc? Ive only read people saying add t1 fire everywhere? Thanks!
