I am level 42 deadeye ranger, open for suggestions on how to use my decent dps of 2,300+ on my crossbow shooting regular bolts/ammo.

Which skills/ammo/combo should I use? I like ice cream.. but jokes aside I like ice skills causw they freeze enemies and blow them up into pieces. It is satisfying to me. I also want multiple shots.. so which skills/gems do you recommend?

Thank you in advance..

My current weapon sets are:

set 1 (1,100+ dps): zealot bow (epic) Asphyxia's Wrath Broadhead Quiver (epic)

set 2 (2,300+ dps): bombard crossbow (rare) regular bolts

I wouldnt focus on weapon sets till you are in a good place in end game.

Use ice shards? for crossbow. Cant really name the support gems out the top of my head, i like pierce. Maybe some elemental damage gems or freeze gems, paired with herald of ice.

If you're leveling still play whatever. But for frostbolt I'd recommend getting the coming calamity armour later on and looking up a few builds for frost bolt herald chaining builds. Most of them generally play as mercenary, but you can make it work on ranger if you shuffle some points over. Otherwise grenades is always an easy start on any class since they scale so well.

Use it. That crossbow isn't 2300 fps, YOU are doing that much damage. You need to watch some YouTube videos and actually learn the game

Why hasn't anyone with a really good Adorned tried 400% extra Blind effect? It should give 95% evasion and 100% deflection (and also crash the instance with divide by zero error if player has 0 Deflect or Evasion)

Chance to evade = ( 1 - ( attack_accuracy * 1.25 ) / (attack accuracy + defender evasion rating * 0.3 ) * 100 Chance to deflect = (1 - ( attack_accuracy * 0.9 ) / ( attack accuracy + defender deflect rating * 0.2 ) * 100 Unless there is a hard cap on blind effect, even reaching +300% blind effect (80% reduced enemy accuracy) gives 5x MORE evasion/deflection multiplier (against blinded targets ofcourse). Can't test this personally since even a terrible ~10% jewel effect Adorned costs 100+ divines (can't understand why though).

Siege Cascade/Hailstorm Rounds seems to be good this league

I've always looked down on siege cascade for how shitty and clunky the skill is, so I decided to try it out this league and to my surprise I'm coping it. **So how does it work?** Siege Cascade does extra 100%base(146% fully corrupt) against Immobilised enemies, hence the use of the skill Freezing mark and Hailstorm rounds for 2nd swap to freeze the enemy. It also works wonder with the spirit skill Mirage Archer shooting more Siege Cascade making the damage even bigger PoE Ninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/AEgliid-0254/character/RottenVagigi](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/AEgliid-0254/character/RottenVagigi)

Is there a reason everyone uses Comet with CoC?

The +1 second to Total attack time means that energy costs for Comet are quite a bit higher than what they would be for something like Frostbolt or Spark or whatever. I know it's a big splashy skill, but wouldn't it be better to run something like Ice Nova, Frostbolt, or Spark? Literally any other spell that doesn't get the total attack time penalty? I did run the numbers, and assuming you're shotgunning with spark and nothing is infused or supported by other gems, Spark does >3x more single-target damage per energy cost. I do see people using spark, but poe.ninja has 77% of CoC users using Comet. Edit: The main crux of the argument is that Comet has an energy cost penalty due to how energy costs are calculated. Any ability with "+X to Total attack time" has that amount included in the energy cost at a 2x penalty. See the tooltip: https://poe2db.tw/Energy#Acronym So the more succinct question is, why are people spending 300 energy casting a single comet when they could be casting spark for 70 and casting it 4.2x more often? Comet does about the same average damage as Spark on a single target (assuming all 9 projectiles hit). Edit 2: Nevermind, I can't read. Spark can't shotgun, so it's single target is ass. Frostbolt is then the next best example I could find, but it's not as obviously better or worse, so I'll test it out. Thanks everyone!

What can I do to improve survivability and damage?

Is there anything I can do to improve my blood mage? Or is there a better comet coc build you’d recommend that’s not spark? Tyvm

Tips on how to make this Wolf Form Witch Hunter tankier against ground effects?

POB: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a2e2](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a2e2) The Gist: Armor and Elemental defenses on both weapon sets, shapeshifting power on weapon set 1, spell utility on weapon set 2. So I made this character to use Sorcery Ward as my primary defense along with armor, but turns out DOTs and ground effects ignore Sorcery Ward completely and go straight for my health. Not to mention certain enemies have attacks that aren't considered hits, so Sorcery Ward doesn't protect against those either. In Wolf Form, I have about 6k Sorcery Ward which is plenty for general use, but some maps have tons of ground effects that melt my health. Usually I can just life-flask through it, but it does sometimes get to the point where I can't react fast enough. How much Sorcery Ward is enough? Should I swap some of my armor increase rolls on my equipment for life rolls?

Disciple of Varashta or other non coc build

Looking for ideas on a new build. I have a nearly fully kitted coc blood mage that is super fun and just looking to kill some time on a chill play and was thinking of playing the new disciple of Varashta class as I've never played it. Only criteria is *no coc* and ideally can farm end game on a moderate budget. I still have ~800 or so divs I think, much more if I liquidate so that shouldn't hold me back much. If I do go disciple, is there a chaos version? Im still looking for meaningful ways to use my palm of the dreamer and a wand/palm could be fun as well. Also open to non twister chayula builds - I've always thought the class looked like a lot of fun but doesn't seem like it gets ran much
