Archer/Hunter Help Need Endgame Build Assistance

Hi,

These last few weeks I've been struggling to find a build that fits my lv. 100 Archer. I sold my Az and went from this / this (Zero Rainbow) to this (Infused Hive Rainbow) to finally this (Paintaker).

Perhaps I'm just not skilled enough but I couldn't solo Qira/LI with the Rainbow builds, and since I've always played with spells, playing melee Archer didn't go very well either.

Basically, can someone please help me make a build?

Restrictions:
- I only have two stacks of LE, so any Mythics are probably off the table.
- No (Master) Hive items - besides Infused Hive Bow and Intensity - and LI items, I can't get these.

If it helps I was thinking of doing a Thunder build with Arc Rifle/Corrupted Witherhead's Bow + Discharge + Resistance? No idea whether that's possible. In any case, as mentioned earlier I prefer spells, and I'd like to do The Hive/LI/Guild wars with this build.

Thank you for your time!

Qira has rainbow def, rainbow dmg does nothing to qira

 

Yea you should either go poison or get other players

 

You could try this https://wynndata.tk/s/kOH5wq

Not really expensive as the items are rather easy to find with some lootruns (you don't have to have godly items so the price won't be really high, probably 30-40 le if you decide to buy everything), it has good mana and int to be able to spam spells with pretty good damage and yet enough defense to be able to take some hits.
On rainbow def bosses like Qira the earth and fire dam will probably be reduced but the thunder damage should be high enough, let alone the neutral damage you'll deal thanks to the raw spell damage.

 

Thank you so much for your help c; I'll give it a try!

Well, you could post actual messages with content? How neat is that.

 

For Qira, I don’t understand why you would use a rainbow build against her. I would recommend perhaps using a neutral spell damage Cluster build or maybe even a nuke Stinger (although I personally don’t think that would work too well). I would only use rainbow bows to get rid of the drones and then use the neutral bow like Cluster to deal with Qira.

For LI, perhaps you can use the cliche Torrential Tide builds out there. I would recommend though finding a Torrential Tide build that can dual wield Gales Force and do good damage with Thunder Cluster (T cluster is optional tbh). Gales Force is useful for its walkspeed and its damageagainst mobs with water defense (ie. MoW, Forms of Matrojan). Thunder Cluster is handy for like 4 of the forms of Matrojan that have water defense and are weak to thunder. You could use Gales Force in those 4 forms but Gales does lack some damage and T Cluster can speed you through those forms much quicker.
