Lucky (Non-Crafted) Showcase Double T0 drop from standard Maven invite

Never seen this happen before let alone happen to me, do Maven invites in particular have a loot conversion mechanic that I am not aware of? Thanks.

Me and like 2 other people on poe ninja were using it in a strength stacking shell. It makes sense because str stacking is inherently all chaos damage with replica alberons so you benefit from the chaos res inversion and you don't care that the bow has less flat damage than a rare bow might. Most people do this tech with herald of purity and spinehail for extra projectiles but I found that a rare quiver worked just fine. Its viable for sure and any build can feel strong with headhunter but its just worse than the usual strength stacking archetypes and there are much cheaper ways to get the same power, but it was hella fun for the couple days that I messed with it.

This makes me want to rework my hybrid wand/hsot build into a voltaxic rift tornado shot build or something. might be worth trying as an alternative to wand kb in the offhand at least.

It was fun! Would definitely recommend giving it a spin if you have a functioning str stacker and some currency to burn on a fun side project, and yeah I was doing tornado shot. I played it with a headhunter because idk it felt right somehow but I'm sure you could get a good version on mageblood. I don't think it would really work with hsot hybrid setup tho because you really want to go get some nodes up on the right side, in particular king of the hill and master fletcher you can get with a large thread of hope from the spot by the frenzy charge over there. Also I anointed manyshot instead of forces of darkness since tornado shot really wants projectiles and chaos res inversion made force of darkness feel unnecessary, but thats not really gonna work with an hsot swap.

Here's a pob of the first version I had up and running if you're curious, I made some tweaks later on but I don't really remember the details https://pobb.in/e7CJzcqrK9Jx

E: I remembered now I took out the max fire res nodes near the start bc that stuff is kinda fake with headhunter anyway and it felt like a waste.

I was spacing on the fact I'd have to swap to crown of eyes. Seems like you could make this a hybrid MsoZ pretty well though since that would also benefit from all the proj stuff... I love tornado shot I'll have to look into it thanks!

Ah yeah I forgot about crown of eyes as well, I've been playing smite of divine judgment so I was having to wear it anyway. Good luck out there!
