Archer/Hunter Help Need A Build W/o Li/master Qira Items

Hello, I recently got my archer to lvl 100 and wanted to make some build, first I wanted to go for Rainmaker build, but I realized it was not what I was looking for, because I want spell damage rather than melee.

Problem is, with the items I have now I cant make strong enough build to get through Qira's Hive, to get Master Voucher, but I have vouchers from every element before Qira, so you can include item from those. obviously when I cant beat Qira I cant even think of beating LI, but I have Diamond Fusion Ring from one of my LI runs on Warrior, but idk if that ring will be useful to any archer build.

These are the Bows that I have, so you can use any of these to make the build

Cluster
Hellstrand
Gale's Force
Awakening
Return to Ether

Then I have three that I think are more focused on the melee, but I will still include them, if you think you can create something better for spell damage, with them (which I doubt)

Alka Cometflinger
The Rainmaker
Shajaea

Also if you could send me the wynndata links to the builds, that would be amazing.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

 

Cluster: https://wynndata.tk/s/aPiRk0

Gale's Force: https://wynndata.tk/s/s2tYph (dual-wield Cluster w/ thunder powders)

Awakening is a viable secondary for elemental weakness abuse because it has no requirements.

Also @Madkurre has a ton of good Rainmaker builds somewhere.

 

Thanks, I'll probably try to go for the Cluster build, even though I'll need to do quite a lot of Fallen Factory runs

Once you complete hive you can swap to infused hive bow.
Dump extra sp into intel/agility and if there is still some left over even after that dump it into strength.
Although awakening is more of a secondary item.

RtE is much better as a secondary weapon imo.

Alka cometflinger isn't as bad as you think it is for spells https://wynndata.tk/s/TkPz3w
Main reason cometflinger is so underrated (like almost all legendary weapons tbfh) is because infused hive bow outshines it easily
Two main issues with this build are the -lifesteal and agility though, but it does have 13k hp with decent elemental defenses (the negatives aren't that high to be much of a problem). You can hit 3 mana bombs pretty easily if you put 14 sp into intel to hit 94 for it.

Used turbine greaves to patch up the necrosis -air def. Still has in the negatives because of humbark though, but not as bad.

It's not a melee bow but it's more of a defensive bow so it's kind of sucky.
Don't really have any builds for it that don't use gaea-hewn though.

Standard thunder pre LI https://wynndata.tk/s/Akvtqa.
the custom item is the reworked paradox assuming I entered all ids in correctly
put most extra sp into intel/agility

Somewhat glassy but it's usually hard to get higher damage without using a glassier build for the air element.

Hellstrand is more of a hybrid type of bow than anything, and you usually will powder it thunder for chains. https://wynndata.tk/s/3gyrEG
Not a very good hellstrand build (you'll usually use anima with it but no master hive), but 1.1k ls and 9/4s ms at superslow with chains is decent

 

oof 22 runs FF

 

That's fun
but why have a build if you aren't going to work for it????

 

huh... i thought alk was supposed to be a melee because of -spell

 

More of hybrid than anything but melee archer is a meme anyways
just giving an example of how it can be used in a spell build if you really wanted to

(btw suppression is weird so use moon pool circlet if you want)

Thanks so much for the effort you put into this especially with the explaining. I was thinking about the Cluster build, but I think the "Rubber" ring could be a little bit harder to obtain for me, since it's a lvl 77 ring and I do lootruns only in Rodoroc, would you have an alternative for that ring?

I was also thinking about the Alka build actually, it looks really good, but I am always skeptical about negative life steal, whenever it's on a different class other than Mage, because I cant heal myself without potions..

 

Getting thunder def so it's not low is kind of difficult without static rings (the ones from LI) due to moon pool's -100 thunder def, hence the reason I used rubber (which is literally just slapping on thunder def). However, one option you could go for instead would be Energy Loop, which you can buy at the merchant in the Iboju village, and since the "secret spots" in the Dernel Jungle that drops shards only spawn in specific locations, it should be relatively easy to acquire.

 

use things that are already at your disposal?

 

brb time to make a build of normal items like only true gamers would

 

I know I'm kinda necroposting here, but it's worth it, because I just wanna say, thanks, because the Alka build actually worked, and I beat Qira quite easily with it :D
