Archer/Hunter Help Need help with archer build (lvl 80ish)

Hello!
I recently started playing and don't know much and what i'm asking is that i want to get into corkus lootruns and more lategame things like corrupted dungeons, but i don't exactly know how to improve my armor as it seems to be very much lacking and I would be glad if anyone can help
My build:
> Wynnbuilder build:
> Purified Helmet of the Legends
> Kaerynn's Body
> Kratke
> Sodeta Boots
> Draoi Fair
> Marvel
> Prometheus's Vision
> Royal Dusty Amulet
> Maelstrom []

I'm already planning an upgrade to the a set which is this but could be further improved i think:

> Wynnbuilder build:
> Sequencer
> Libra
> Gemini
> Signal Flare
> Draoi Fair
> Marvel
> Prometheus's Vision
> Royal Dusty Amulet
> Maelstrom []
> (Has Tomes and Aspects)

I gladly accept any help or criticism as I definitely don't know what I'm really doing.

 

The following build links are all for lvl 100, as the set you want to upgrade to has items around that level. You also didn't specify an archetype, and so I just threw on a standard sharp tree (which is the archetype I'd recommend). Also, seems like I can't post links, so I just left the wynnbuilder hashes. To see the build, you just need to replace the end of a wynnbuilder link.

First, I threw the build you want to upgrade to in wynnbuilder:

#CX0akWQ6iA1DlmM74tW2Dcy0mcKdj0GoUV6-Xd6v31
> Wynnbuilder build:
> Sequencer
> Libra
> Gemini
> Signal Flare
> Draoi Fair
> Marvel
> Prometheus's Vision
> Royal Dusty Amulet
> Maelstrom [w7]

A few comments. I dislike the negative damage on Gemini and also the fact that Signal Flare only buffs air damage, which is 1 of 3 different types of damage you deal. As such, the damage bonus ~66% less effective than the same amount on spell/elemental damage %. This is especially noticeable if you just compare your build with new gear to your old one (which had leggings and boots which have decent damage buffs); With extra skill points put into strength and dexterity, your old build at lvl 95 has spells which do ~15% more damage (Old Build: #CX08UGW9SW1kUmM74tW2Dcy0mcKdw0d2GoUV6-Xd6v31).

Mana regen is also nonexistent, and so you will be relying on mana steal for sustain on this build. I wouldn't recommend playing around mana steal for any archetype other than hybrid melee bolt or sharpshooter.

Your choice of accessories are also interesting; Especially Draoi Fair, as it is a ring which has only seen use in pre-fruma spell boltslinger builds. Spell bolt post-fruma is not good without the sorcery Major ID on a piece of armor, and this is usually acquired from the Time Rift chest plate. Its high intelligence requirement essentially locks spell bolt to Spring and Crafted Spring bows. As such, I would recommend playing the sharpshooter archetype instead. Trapper is fine, and if you must play spell bolt, you can do so but note that it will be substantially worse in terms of damage in comparison to sharpshooter.

In any case, switching out a few pieces of gear for standard rainbow items gives this:

#CX0akWQ6OK3X7W6EqmH15Ye0mcKdx0d2GoUV6-Xd6v31
> Wynnbuilder build:
> Sequencer
> Libra
> Vaward
> Capricorn
> Photon
> Photon
> Prowess
> Lightning Flash
> Maelstrom [w7]

Comparison w/ the build your trying to update to:
Effective HP: Around the same (old: 27k, new: 26k)
Mana Regen/Mana Cost: ~70% more mana regen, Same mana costs
Walk Speed: Around the same (old: 82%, new: 77%)
Damage (Spell): Mine has ~18% more
Combat XP Bonus (if you care, I suppose): 29% more (old: 21%, new: 50%)

I would also highly recommend switching out Maelstrom for a higher level bow such as Torrential Tide, as doing so will almost DOUBLE your damage without changing any of your other stats (#CX0akWQ6OK3X7W6EqmH15Ye03jKd3172GoUV6-Xd6v31).

One last piece of advice: The biggest issue with doing lower level builds is that pretty much all of them get mogged by the morph set, which will almost always have comparable stats, and is a lot easier to assemble as well. This is due to the fact that rolls don't matter nearly as much, as the main power comes from the set bonus. Here is a comparison between the build above and a full morph build:
Effective HP: Marginally more (mine: 26k, morph: 29k)
Mana Regen/Mana Cost: Same mana regen, ~30% LOWER mana costs
Walk Speed: Marginally less (mine: 77%, morph: 59%)
Damage (Spell): Morph has ~12% less
Combat XP Bonus: Morph has 55% more (mine: 50%, morph: 105%)

Build: #CX0Ec0Z9iO29c0Y9WCHX9KC1mcK773GoUV6-Xd6v31

Notice that morph is essentially trading off stats in certain areas instead of being a direct upgrade, like my build in comparison to the one you made. It has more HP, mana sustain, and combat XP bonus in exchange for less damage and walk speed.

The one downside to morph now is that it is quite expensive, so only go for it if you have enough emeralds at hand. But, as you can see, unless you know how to actually create builds, morph is just a low effort option which actually has quite decent stats. Really shows why morph was so dominant pre-fruma.
