hello and welcome Exiles to boow trickster. This league they added a lot of cool enchants, and one of the ones that I thought was the most cool or one of the ones that excited me the most was the one that said adds 5% of your max energy Shield as cold damage to attacks with this weapon. If you know me, I like scaling es numbers, I like scaling Life numbers, I like making the number go big, and this it really encourages you to make the number go big. So the idea was I was going to go trickster with the new hybrid bases and the new just generic es bases. The Warlock gloves, the helmet that can now this can go up to like 600 es if you actually have a really well max one. The chest piece can go up to 900 es and probably close to 4,500 evasion if you really mid Max the craft. So there's some pretty crazy stuff in terms of es scaling. This character is only level 88. I've been making a lot of good gear

obviously put all of my early currency in the Berserker. If you're wondering, man Lance didn't really seem to min-max his Berserker much. It's because I was pulling all my resources towards upgrading, or towards planning to build this character here. Hence why I bought a Simplex early, because I was worried Simplex were just going to spike out of my price range. And that's why I had some weird scuffed Simplex on the character, was so I could save the base for this character I was going to be making. Now, this is not going to be a cheap project. I do not recommend this on a budget. Just the enchant alone, the key thing we're building around, costs 44 time runes. 44 time runes. Those runes are expensive. They're about a Divine a pop. So, this is about a 45 Divine enchant. It's actually a little bit more, because it cost Mountain runes, and those are a little bit expensive too. And so, it's not something I'm going to

recommend on a budget, but it's something that if you really want to min-max a character throughout a league. If you want something that's going to be satisfying to play, maybe this could be for you. I don't really know if it's going to work, to be honest with you. I didn't plan a build before making this. I just thought B mod trickster ES defenses. Let's go ahead and send it. Now, some of the things I want to do with this character is number one, I have some goals I want to try to hit. 30,000 Energy Shield. That's the late league goal. Number two, I want to do the hardest Val maps torment. To avoid the whole works. So, that's some of the stuff I'm going to shoot for. Whether or not I succeed with this character, I don't know. Right now, I'm starting out with R of Aros because it sounded like I thought it would be fun. I don't know if this is really that good of a skill. I'm not much

of a bow guy, but I'm going to try out different skills, try out different setups. Right now I'm starting out with Rain of Arrows just because it sounded like fun. I have a Mana Forge set up with Lightning Arrow for clear with GMP and Pierce, as well as I have a Frenzy with Mana Forge Arrow, Culling Strike, and Power Charge on a trigger on hit for Assassin's mark. That's some of the stuff we have here and some of the cool things. I want to mention something I didn't even know about. Apparently, the rage on hit AIC for gloves is generic. So if you're playing a bow build, highly recommend this thing. It's basically 30% more damage while in combat because you can stack all the way up to 30 rage and that is just 30% more damage. So, can recommend this glove implicit a ton. Some of the other cool things we're going to do is I want to highlight one of the new strongest Watchers' Eyes in the game that you might not have

heard of because it was new, and it was changed. I don't think they really specified this in the patch notes. They said they were changing the purity of fire mod. Well, it turns out all the Fizz taken as mods for the specific purities got changed to damage taken as. So I can get 20% cold and lightning taken as taken as fire, which if you know anything about this stat, you'll know it was the key to getting all your damage taken as fire for like a the use of a dawn breaker p uh Sublime Vision setup. And now it's AO Watcher eye, which means means you could do dual Wallin and have full damage taken his fire. You could do whatever you bow quiver staff mace axe whatever you want to do. I was tempted to talk about it for the Berserker because it would have been a way to really mid Max those defenses, but I figured I'd wait for this character because this is one the one I was actually going to use it for. So if I combine this Watcher's eye

mod with Sublime vision and the tempered by War. I have 100% damage taken as fire, so right now my character has 90 Max Fire Res, and I don't have to invest in other resistances. This is great for a stat stacker because number one, you don't want to mess around with stats. You don't want to have to put attri or res on your gear, so it saves you some of that. It saves you the ability to invest in Max res. Last time I did a trickster, I did melding, and I had to go triple Max of all res. That means I had to invest in a lot of res stats, and in this situation, I save a lot on those stats and those axes. So it allows us to isolate all into one damage type, and then you can combine that with things like Arctic armor, which gives you 20% Dr for fire and 20% Dr for Fizz, very powerful. You also can invest in well right now I've had device for Aesthetics, but maybe late.

game. I'll do an aspect of the crab or an aspect of the spider. I haven't decided, but anyways, the main idea is good es Gear with hybrid or a good es Gear with the trickster evasion es setup. Right now, we have um 177,000 evasion and about 17,000 energy shield and 34,000 evasion. That's without having a Grace and that's with Ghost Dance and the 1% per five in. And the idea is scale a bunch of int. It's the classic thing gives you evasion, gives you accuracy right here, gives you percent damage from things like your Simplex amulet, and gives you your most important your Baseline ehp stat which gives you flat damage from this as well as you'll notice I have the synth mod for damage per in right now. 5% of my es is roughly around 8800 to 900 flat damage. The 1 to six lightning damage is about 3.5 damage per 10 intelligence I have on my character currently 1,600.

intelligence that's around I don't know 600 to 700 flat damage, and then my bow itself has about I don't know 400-500 flat damage. You add that all up, this bow right now with 1.58 attacks per second is dealing like 2500 to 3,000 LP DPS per second, and that's only going to scale as I upgrade this character, get more int on it, and it's going to scale in a big way. So that is the plan for the character. I'm going to give you guys a little Showcase of what it looks like. We're currently level 88, and we're going to Showcase a Minotaur map with uh Maven witness, and uh after that, well, I plan to continue making updates for this character and show you guys the progress of how it goes. I don't think R of arrows is necessarily my late game of this character. I don't think it's what I'm planning to do, but it is um currently just really fun to play.

I've been enjoying it. It just seems pretty chill of just shooting stuff in the air area, shooting stuff into the air, and not really caring. It doesn't really, uh, need plus arrows as much. Eventually, if I, you know, a really good bow with plus two arrows, I craft a good quiver with plus one arrow, then I'm going to start looking at the other skills that benefit from additional arrows. But for right now, Rain of Arrows doesn't benefit as much as those skills do, and it's just something chill to play initially while I'm thinking about what I want to do late game. And it's going to work plenty fine while I farm and make currency for the character. Um, on top of having Herald of Ice and the, uh, the Aesthetics blow up, and this character's defenses will just keep scaling through the roof. We are also on our ascendancy, I should mention, doing Overleech and the Suppress node, so with Giga Suppress, one step ahead for never being able to get slowed down, which makes it just a feels good.

experience no matter what like League mechanics or stuff. We're doing with the character so all in all. I'm I'm freaking soked about this character. I think it'll be probably my mid Max project for the league and will be on this character for for this foreseeable future. I still will be making other builds throughout the league but this will be my big mid Max project I'm going to do I think. So this is what it looks like on doing a little minor kill not insane DPS considering our gear is really good but it's good enough I'd say and it's going to scale quite well as we upgrade the character. So yeah that's my current setup that's my current plans. Hopefully you guys enjoy this look into the initial setup for the bow trickster as always thanks for watching Exiles take care peace out have a good one.
