Archer/Hunter Duat's Fruma Builds

This thread is mostly for myself to catalog all the builds I use / want to remember in the Fruma Update (I was suffering with trying to fit them all in 3 Discord messages). You should not treat this as a guide for the "best builds" and what not. Practically all of these builds are non-meta and most of them I wouldn't even recommend to new players. It will be updated as I please and not as patches / updates come out.

I am an Archer main with max tomes and aspects and all the builds will assume that because I have them. That doesn't mean the builds are unplayable without tomes and aspects but that they may not be the most optimal for your own tomes / aspects. The builds will have a link without tomes and aspects and a hyperlink underneath them with tomes and aspects (mainly so I don't have to manually list the Tomes and Aspects you should use, these often vary between different Boltslinger builds and Sharpshooter builds).

I generally have a specific set of standards for my builds. I mainly play raids so I like builds that are capable of handling everything that every raid can throw at you. I do not use consumables (including Health Potions) so every build must have some amount of healing. I don't engage with Crafteds.

I don't play Hybrid Boltslinger or Trapper so there are no Hybrid Bolt / Trapper builds here.

> Drenched Igneous
> Rainbow Sanctuary
> Martingale
> Deeper Abyss
> Lumino Blossom
> Prowess
> Diamond Fusion Necklace
> Freedom [w7w7w7w7]
(Tomes and Aspects Link)

Offhands:
The Hearth [t7t7t7] - Health Regen, Life Steal
-
Apathy [t7t7t7] - Life Steal, Negative Health Bonus for tanking MOAB
Horamancer [t7t7t7t7t7] - Mana Steal

Main Spell Cycle:
Storm Bomb Bomb (0.9s, 10 cps)

Other Spell Cycles:
Storm Bomb Shield (0.9s, 10 cps) - When Guardian Angels are about to expire / run out. Typically you can do 3 cycles of Storm Bomb Bomb and then one cycle of Storm Bomb Shield with max aspects.
Storm Bomb (0.8-1.0s, 6-7.5 cps) - Slow cycle if you are feeling lazy / want to save mana

Main Attack every 2s for Curse Powder Special.

Other Notes:
The mana sustain on this build is tight. Mana identifications and spell costs should be prioritized.
Do not powder Courage on your Freedom for this build, Courage has a ring around it that triggers Main Attack steals and you will lose mana from the -4/3 Mana Steal if that hits a mob / multiple mobs.

Gambits You Cannot Take:
Foreseen Swordsman's Gambit
Outworn Soldier's Gambit

Gambits I Don't Recommend Taking (Ranked 1-10 From "Not So Bad" to "Worst"):
Farsighted's Gambit (9)
Maddening Mage's Gambit (8)
Bleeding Warrior's Gambit (7)
Myopic's Gambit (2) (10 in specific bosses like The Canyon Colossus because hitboxes are weird)
Arcane Incontinent's Gambit (1) - This gambit is basically free but functions as -12/5 mana regen. Just means you have to be more careful with your mana - sometimes you'll have to Storm Bomb at 6-7.5 cps.

Spoiler: Spell Sharpshooter Revolution - Crep Ray (ETWFA)

https://wynnbuilder.github.io/builder/#CW0SDJfT0RsGpPfOA1dJDDad9Zawa2A4V4wcfuox3F7ljoFn1
> Wynnbuilder build:
> Phanerozoic
> Shogun
> Omniverse
> Galleon
> Skeetwing Jewel
> Lumino Blossom
> Prowess
> Compromise
> Revolution [w7w7w7]
(Tomes and Aspects Link)

Offhands:
Fog of Creation [t7t7t7] - Health Regen
Gale's Force [a7a7a7] - Walk Speed

Main Spell Cycle:
Storm Bomb Bomb (1.6s, 5.625 cps) - The 1.6s is based off of Phantom Ray's Duration which will change depending on the tier of your Aspect of the Poltergeist. Base Phantom Ray is 1.2s, Phantom Ray with tier 3 Aspect of the Poltergeist is 1.6s. The cps changes depending on the duration of your Phantom Ray.

Other Spell Cycles:
Escape -> Storm (For Crepuscular Ray) - Do this at 7-8 Focus.
Storm Bomb (1.6s, 3.75 cps) - If you're feeling lazy or a mob is hard to hit.
Storm Bomb Bomb Bomb (1.6s, 7.5 cps) - If you get a mana buff that can sustain it or you just wanna cast fast - Max Mana from Phanerozoic, Omniverse, and Galleon will sustain you for a while. Note that this can be range limited as casting Arrow Bomb will cancel any currently active Arrow Bombs.
Storm Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb (1.6s, 9.375 cps) - Read above.
Storm Bomb Shield (1.6s, 5.625 cps) - If you want to cast Arrow Shield while continuing to do dps without it feeling awkward.
Storm Bomb Shield Bomb (1.6s, 7.5 cps) - Read above.

Main Attack every 2s for Mana Steal, Life Steal, and Curse Powder Special. Ideally do it when Quick Draw is up as the ability tree doesn't have Homing Shots so if you're too far away, your Main Attack will hit the floor before hitting the mob you are aiming at, losing Focus. Quick Draw will also give you Repositioning Speed Boost which is nice.

Gambits You Cannot Take:
Myopic's Gambit
Foreseen Swordsman's Gambit

Gambits I Don't Recommend Taking (Ranked 1-10 From "Not So Bad" to "Worst"):
Fallen Angel's Gambit (9) - You have a lot of airtime with Crepuscular Ray. This will gut your healing
Leaden Mage's Gambit (8) - Can be suspicious with high spell costs. Generally forces Storm Bomb (1.6s, 3.75 cps)
Maddening Mage's Gambit (6)
Ingenuous Mage's Gambit (5) - Forces you to use Storm Bomb (1.6s, 3.75 cps)
Bleeding Warrior's Gambit (5)

Spoiler: Twainleap Axiom (ETFA)

https://wynnbuilder.github.io/builder/#CW09DsuOuRZJOmDw3dcDEo6Ho89DfW7y1tWBlVPlKfT+e4
> Wynnbuilder build:
> Darksteel Full Helm
> Darksteel Centrifuge
> Impossibility Threshold
> Dawnbreak
> Spark of Instinct
> Beatdown
> Eternal Toil
> Daredevil
> Axiom [t7t7t7t7]
(Tomes and Aspects Link)

Offhands:
Plague [t7t7t7t7] - Non Reality Revision Twain's Arc Bow (Stinger is probably better)
Renegade [t7t7t7] - Walk Speed, Escape Cost Reduction
-
Apathy [t7t7t7] - Life Steal, Negative Health Bonus for tanking MOAB

Damage Cycle:
Twain's Arc two times between Ghostly Triggers. Use Escape for Ghostly Trigger: Fire two Twain's Arcs in the air and then drop to the ground with sneak for fast fall before firing the third shot. If you fire the third shot while in the air, it will count as a Super Fast attack and give you Super Fast scaled Mana Steal, Life Steal, and Powder Special charging. If you fire the third shot on the ground, it will count as a Super Slow attack.

With Super Slow Attack Speed, Twain's Arc fires every 2s requiring 0.85s of charge up with the Phasing Beam node. This gives you about 1.15s of time to cast spells, typically just one spell. Cast Arrow Bomb whenever Coursing Restraints is off cooldown and cast Phantom Ray whenever else / whenever you feel like it. Phantom Ray is more damage than Arrow Bomb. You can also use the downtime to cast Arrow Shield or Escape for dodging (although you have Quick Draw and Lunge Leap as other mobility options). You can also cast Arrow Bomb right after Escaping for Ghostly Trigger before firing the 3 shots.

Make sure not to cast Arrow Storm while in the air, you will cast Crepuscular Ray and lose your Focus.

Gambits I Don't Recommend Taking (Ranked 1-10 From "Not So Bad" to "Worst"):
Myopic's Gambit (20) - You technically can take this but you really really really shouldn't.
Leaden Warrior's Gambit (10) - Really bad with high spell costs and only 100 Mana Bar
Bleeding Warrior's Gambit (8) - Hard to avoid taking damage on Twain's Arc sometimes
Maddening Mage's Gambit (4)
Anemic's Gambit (3) - Affects your Chain Lightning Life Steal. Noticeable in rooms where you take and heal a lot of damage like WTP Room 1 Ballroom.
Dull Blade's Gambit (3) - Affects your ability to contribute in rooms but is unnoticeable in bosses
Eroded Speedster's Gambit (2) - Axiom's dps is low without good buffs so this can be a problem if your teammates die early or are slow in raid rooms.
Fallen Angel's Gambit (2) - You can have over 3s of air time with Escape -> Ghostly Trigger 2 Shots -> Leap -> Fast Fall -> Ghostly Trigger 3rd Shot. Need to be careful with this, particularly in Anathema.
Ingenuous Mage's Gambit (1) - Can slightly affect your Chain Lightning Mana Steal mana sustain and is noticeable when you take Mana Regen / Mana Steal buffs.

Spoiler: Spell Boltslinger Spring Strati Off-hand - Fly Bolt Oriented (EWA)

Warning:
Flying Boltslinger is not good for dps and this build has low dps comparative to Time Rift Spring builds. Even if you play this build normally / grounded, it will be outshined by Time Rift Spring.

(Tomes and Aspects Link)

Offhands:
Masterwork Stratiformis [a7a7a7] - Walk Speed, Elven Current - You can "lend" Elven Current to other bows if you Escape with Masterwork Stratiformis first. You can use the remaining two midair Escapes on other bows after Escaping with Masterwork Stratiformis. Note that you cannot Escape midair if you first Escape with another bow and then swap to Masterwork Stratiformis.

Main Spell Cycle:
Storm Bomb Bomb (0.9s, 10 cps)

Other Spell Cycles:
Storm Bomb Shield (0.9s, 10 cps) - When Guardian Angels are about to expire / run out. Typically you can do 3 cycles of Storm Bomb Bomb and then one cycle of Storm Bomb Shield with max aspects.
Storm Bomb (0.8-1.0s, 6-7.5 cps) - Slow cycle if you are feeling lazy
Leap + Storm (1s, 3 cps) | Storm Bomb (or) Shield (1s, 6 cps) - Slow flying cycle, 3 spells over 2s. Good for conserving mana. The 1s comes from Arrow Hurricane's duration which changes depending on the tier of your Inexhaustible Quiver Aspect. Base Arrow Hurricane's duration is 0.8s, Arrow Hurricane duration with tier 3 Inexhaustible Quiver Aspect is 1.0s.

Main Attack every 2s for Curse Powder Special and Life Steal.

Other Notes:
The mana sustain on this build is a bit tight. Mana identifications and spell costs should be prioritized.

Farsighted's Gambit (7)
Myopic's Gambit (5) (10 if you are flying) (10 in specific bosses like The Canyon Colossus because hitboxes are weird)
Fatalist's Gambit (3) - Agility ehp
Ingenuous Mage's Gambit (1) - You won't benefit from your Mana Steal but the build sustains anyway.
Leaden Warrior's Gambit (1) - You may want to leverage your full mana bar when flying. This gambit can be a positive as it charges Concentration much easier.

Spoiler: Spell Boltslinger Ignis (ETWF)

(Tomes and Aspects Link)

Offhands:
Firebomb [f7f7f7] - Higher damage offhand
-
Apathy [t7t7t7] - Life Steal, Negative Health Bonus for tanking MOAB

Main Spell Cycle:
Storm Bomb Bomb (0.9s, 10 cps)

Other Spell Cycles:
Storm Bomb Shield (0.9s, 10 cps) - When Guardian Angels are about to expire / run out. Typically you can do 3 cycles of Storm Bomb Bomb and then one cycle of Storm Bomb Shield with max aspects.
Storm Bomb (0.8-1.0s, 6-7.5 cps) - Slow cycle if you are feeling lazy / want to save mana

Main Attack every 2s for Courage Powder Special.

Other Notes:
The mana sustain on this build is tight. Mana identifications and spell costs should be prioritized.

Gambits You Cannot Take:
Foreseen Swordsman's Gambit
Outworn Soldier's Gambit

Gambits I Don't Recommend Taking (Ranked 1-10 From "Not So Bad" to "Worst"):
Farsighted's Gambit (9)
Maddening Mage's Gambit (6)
Hemophiliac's Gambit (5) - The point of playing Ignis is to be tanky. Your items are invested towards being tanky. Hemophilliac messes with that.
Anemic's Gambit (5) - The build is invested towards tankiness and healing. This cuts your healing down to 10% of your max health (generally around 2k hpr, depends on your rolls).
Bleeding Warrior's Gambit (4)
Eroded Speedster's Gambit (3) - Ignis' dps is low so this can be a problem if your teammates die early or are slow in raid rooms.
Myopic's Gambit (2) (10 in specific bosses like The Canyon Colossus because hitboxes are weird)
Ingenuous Mage's Gambit (1) - The build's spell costs are a smidge higher than what is comfortable so the 14/3 Mana Steal is a little relevant even though the build was designed to sustain without Mana Steal.

Spoiler: Spell Boltslinger Divzer (ETW)

Warning:
This build is very heavily assuming Tomes and Aspects compared to most of my other builds (hpr tomes for negative hpr cancel, 3rd% tomes matter way more here than any other build, etc). This is not the highest damage non-crafted Spell Bolt Divzer build - I designed it partially with the aim of having Freedom-esque Walk Speed (40-60ish). This build struggles in WTP.

Offhands:
Wildflower [e7e7e7] - Health Regen

Main Spell Cycle:
Storm Bomb Bomb (0.9s, 10 cps)

Other Spell Cycles:
Storm Bomb Shield (0.9s, 10 cps) - When Guardian Angels are about to expire / run out. Typically you can do 3 cycles of Storm Bomb Bomb and then one cycle of Storm Bomb Shield with max aspects.
Storm Bomb (0.8-1.0s, 6-7.5 cps) - Slow cycle. Good for saving mana against fodder mobs / if you are low on mana

Main Attack every 2s for Chain Lightning Powder Special, Mana Steal, and Life Steal. Very important for Mana Sustain and Health Sustain.

Other Notes:
Spell costs are more important than Mana Steal for mana sustain but good to have strong rolls on everything mana related.

Gambits You Cannot Take:
Foreseen Swordsman's Gambit
Outworn Soldier's Gambit
Ingenuous Mage's Gambit

Gambits I Don't Recommend Taking (Ranked 1-10 From "Not So Bad" to "Worst"):
Leaden Fighter's Gambit (20) - Build has high spells and low Mana Bar. Playable if you rely on getting Mana buffs every raid but will be really annoying and prevent you from casting when you really need to
Maddening Mage's Gambit (15) - Messes with movement which will get you killed
Farsighted's Gambit (10)
Bleeding Warrior's Gambit (8)
Anemic's Gambit (7) - Guts your Chain Lightning Life Steal
Myopic's Gambit (2) (10 in specific bosses like The Canyon Colossus because hitboxes are weird)

Spoiler: Nimble Phantom Bomb Spell Sharpshooter Revolution - No Crep Ray (ETWFA)

(Tomes and Aspects Link)

Offhands:
Fog of Creation [t7t7t7] - Health Regen
Gale's Force [a7a7a7] - Walk Speed

Main Spell Cycle:
Storm Bomb (0.8s, 7.5 cps) - The 0.8s is based off of Nimble String + Phantom Ray's Duration which will change depending on the tier of your Aspect of the Poltergeist. Base Nimble String Phantom Ray is 0.6s, Nimble String Phantom Ray with tier 3 Aspect of the Poltergeist is 0.8s. The cps changes depending on the duration of your Phantom Ray.

Other Spell Cycles:
Storm Bomb Shield (0.9s, 10 cps) - If you want to cast Arrow Shield while continuing to do dps without it feeling awkward.
Storm Bomb (sub 7.5 cps) - Cast Storm Bomb slower if you're low on mana. Mainly used in WTP Room 1 Ballroom while waiting between purple guys spawning.

Main Attack every 2s for Mana Steal and Curse Powder Special.

Other Notes:
The build doesn't fully mana sustain. Prioritize spell costs, Mana Regen, and Mana Steal. Max Mana can be helpful too.

Gambits You Cannot Take:
Foreseen Swordsman's Gambit
Outworn Soldier's Gambit
Ingenuous Mage's Gambit
Myopic's Gambit

Gambits I Don't Recommend Taking (Ranked 1-10 From "Not So Bad" to "Worst"):
Maddening Mage's Gambit (10) - Messes with movement which can lose Focus.
Leaden Fighter's Gambit (9) - Build doesn't fully mana sustain. May not want to play with 40% of your mana bar.
Bleeding Warrior's Gambit (5)

Spoiler: Nimble Phantom Bomb Spell Sharpshooter Baleful Spring Strati Off-Hand - No Crep Ray (EWA)

Warning:
This build assumes a maxed out Aspect of the Poltergiest (Phantom Ray Duration). It can work without it but is highly not recommended.

(Tomes and Aspects Link)

Offhands:
Masterwork Stratiformis [a7a7a7] - Walk Speed, Elven Current - You can "lend" Elven Current to other bows if you Escape with Masterwork Stratiformis first. You can use the remaining two midair Escapes on other bows after Escaping with Masterwork Stratiformis. Note that you cannot Escape midair if you first Escape with another bow and then swap to Masterwork Stratiformis.

Main Spell Cycle:
Storm Bomb (0.8s, 7.5 cps) | Storm Bomb (0.8s, 7.5 cps) | Storm Bomb Shield (0.9s, 10 cps)

This is a 7-spell cycle over 2.5s assuming you are within Baleful Blizzard's Arrow Shield range. Baleful Blizzard brings your Arrow Shield count up to 10 and Arrow Shield can pop once every 0.25s, thus it must be recasted every 2.5s

The 0.8s is based off of Nimble String + Phantom Ray's Duration which will change depending on the tier of your Aspect of the Poltergeist. Base Nimble String Phantom Ray is 0.6s, Nimble String Phantom Ray with tier 3 Aspect of the Poltergeist is 0.8s.

If you don't have a maxed out Aspect of the Poltergeist:
Storm Bomb (0.6s, 10 cps) | Storm Bomb (0.6s, 10 cps) | Storm Bomb (0.6s, 10 cps) | Storm Shield (0.6s, 10 cps)

This is an 8-spell cycle over 2.4s assuming you are within Baleful Blizzard's Arrow Shield range.

Other Spell Cycles:
Storm Bomb (0.8s, 7.5 cps) - The cps changes depending on the duration of your Phantom Ray. Use when outside of Baleful Blizzard Arrow Shield range.
Storm Bomb Shield (0.9s, 10 cps) - If you want to cast Arrow Shield while continuing to do dps without it feeling awkward.
Storm Bomb (sub 7.5 cps) - Cast Storm Bomb slower if you're low on mana. Mainly used in WTP Room 1 Ballroom while waiting between purple guys spawning.

Main Attack every 2s for Mana Steal, Life Steal, and Curse Powder Special.

Other Notes:
The build with max rolls has excess mana sustain by 2.25 mana/s.

Gambits You Cannot Take:
Foreseen Swordsman's Gambit
Outworn Soldier's Gambit
Ingenuous Mage's Gambit

Gambits I Don't Recommend Taking (Ranked 1-10 From "Not So Bad" to "Worst"):
Myopic's Gambit (12) - Sharpshooter. Even though you deal optimal dps at 9 block range (Baleful Blizzard range), you will still have times where you are 12+ blocks away from enemies.
Maddening Mage's Gambit (10) - Messes with movement which can lose Focus and yeet you out of Baleful Blizzard range.
Bleeding Warrior's Gambit (9) - Hard to avoid damage sometimes if trying to stay in Baleful Blizzard range. The build only has 300ish hpr and 1kish ls, hard to regain hp back quickly if not using Health Potions.
Fatalist's Gambit (6) - Agility ehp and no Arrow Shield Resistance due to Baleful Blizzard Major ID.

Spoiler: Builds I've Played That Suck (But Want to Keep Around)

Spoiler: Spell Boltslinger Tangled Traps Labyrinth (ETWF)

Why It Sucks:
Tangled Traps Labyrinth on a full Boltslinger tree is surprisingly underwhelming and impractical despite Tangled Traps and Bryophyte Roots theoretically doing more damage than the lost Arrow Shield nodes and Boltslinger Ultimate. Spell Boltslinger Ignis can match the dps of this build.

(Tomes and Aspects Link)

Offhands:
The Hearth [t7t7t7] - Health Regen, Life Steal
-
Apathy [t7t7t7] - Life Steal, Negative Health Bonus for tanking MOAB
Herald of Ruin [f7f7] - Fallout Major ID, fun for big bomb recoil for movement

Main Spell Cycle:
Storm Bomb Bomb (0.9s, 10 cps)

Other Spell Cycles:
Storm Bomb Shield (0.9s, 10 cps) - When Guardian Angels are about to expire / run out. Typically you can do 3 cycles of Storm Bomb Bomb and then one cycle of Storm Bomb Shield with max aspects.
Storm Bomb (0.8-1.0s, 6-7.5 cps) - Slow cycle if you are feeling lazy / want to save mana
Leap + Storm (1s, 3 cps) | Storm Bomb (or) Shield (1s, 6 cps) - Slow flying cycle, 3 spells over 2s. Good for conserving mana. The 1s comes from Arrow Hurricane's duration which changes depending on the tier of your Inexhaustible Quiver Aspect. Base Arrow Hurricane's duration is 0.8s, Arrow Hurricane duration with tier 3 Inexhaustible Quiver Aspect is 1.0s.

Main Attack every 2s for Courage Powder Special and Mana Steal.

Other Notes:
The ability tree in the build link takes Bounding Stride over Elusive since the idea was to fly bolt over bosses and have the Tangled Traps contribute. You can easily just take Elusive over Bounding Stride though.

Gambits You Cannot Take:
Foreseen Swordsman's Gambit
Outworn Soldier's Gambit

Gambits I Don't Recommend Taking (Ranked 1-10 From "Not So Bad" to "Worst"):
Fallen Angel's Gambit (10 if you are flying)
Farsighted's Gambit (9)
Maddening Mage's Gambit (8)
Bleeding Warrior's Gambit (7)
Myopic's Gambit (5) (10 if you are flying) (10 in specific bosses like The Canyon Colossus because hitboxes are weird)
Ingenuous Mage's Gambit (5) - Mana Steal is somewhat important if you copy the aspects I use which favor Further Horizons over Shrapnel Count aspect. You could easily take Ingenuous Mage's Gambit with Shrapnel Aspect though
Eroded Speedster's Gambit (3) - This build's dps is low so this can be a problem if your teammates die early or are slow in raid rooms.

Spoiler: Spell Boltslinger Siege Vent - Fly Bolt Oriented (ETWF)

Why It Sucks:
This build is actually completely fine if you just take Elusive and play it normally but Siege Vent can be built better with Time Rift for regular Boltslinger. Flying Boltslinger is generally bad for dps. Spring + Ascended Strati Offhand is better for Fly Bolt shenanigans.

Main Spell Cycle:
Storm Bomb Bomb (0.9s, 10 cps)

Other Spell Cycles:
Storm Bomb Shield (0.9s, 10 cps) - When Guardian Angels are about to expire / run out. Typically you can do 3 cycles of Storm Bomb Bomb and then one cycle of Storm Bomb Shield with max aspects.
Storm Bomb (0.8-1.0s, 6-7.5 cps) - Slow cycle if you are feeling lazy / want to save mana
Leap + Storm (1s, 3 cps) | Storm Bomb (or) Shield (1s, 6 cps) - Slow flying cycle, 3 spells over 2s. Good for conserving mana. The 1s comes from Arrow Hurricane's duration which changes depending on the tier of your Inexhaustible Quiver Aspect. Base Arrow Hurricane's duration is 0.8s, Arrow Hurricane duration with tier 3 Inexhaustible Quiver Aspect is 1.0s.

Main Attack every 2s for Curse Powder Special.

Other Notes:
You can use Combo Stomp to quickly gain Escape height for fly bolt while preserving your ability to Escape later in the air. You are not supposed to use Fierce Stomp + Combo Stomp for dps, it's QoL.

Gambits You Cannot Take:
Foreseen Swordsman's Gambit
Outworn Soldier's Gambit

Gambits I Don't Recommend Taking (Ranked 1-10 From "Not So Bad" to "Worst"):
Fallen Angel's Gambit (10 if you are flying)
Farsighted's Gambit (9)
Maddening Mage's Gambit (7) - Bad for dps but Combo Stomp will let you easily fast fall into stomp into regaining height + replenishing Escape
Bleeding Warrior's Gambit (7)
Myopic's Gambit (5) (10 if you are flying) (10 in specific bosses like The Canyon Colossus because hitboxes are weird)
Ingenuous Mage's Gambit (4) - May want to take 1st or 3rd% reduction tomes instead of Mana Regen tomes if taking this gambit.

Spoiler: Spell Boltslinger Napalm Firebomb (ETWF)

Why It Sucks:
Lack of mobility due to negative base Walk Speed and only Windy Feet. Gets mobility checked and decked by Murderous Intent and Anathema (Greg is fine though, just use Escape properly).

> Firebomb [f7f7f7]
(Tomes and Aspects Link)

Offhands:
The Hearth [t7t7t7] - Health Regen, Life Steal
Siege Vent [w7w7w7] - Water Damage Offhand
-
Apathy [t7t7t7] - Life Steal, Negative Health Bonus for tanking MOAB

Main Spell Cycle:
Storm Bomb Bomb (0.9s, 10 cps)

Other Spell Cycles:
Storm Bomb Shield (0.9s, 10 cps) - When Guardian Angels are about to expire / run out. Typically you can do 3 cycles of Storm Bomb Bomb and then one cycle of Storm Bomb Shield with max aspects.
Storm Bomb (0.8-1.0s, 6-7.5 cps) - Slow cycle if you are feeling lazy / want to save mana

Main Attack every 2s for Mana Steal and Courage Powder Special.

Other Notes:
The Mana Sustain is really sus. You want to make sure you actually hit mobs with your Courages for extra Mana Steal. Napalm makes your Arrow Bomb have very little velocity so the anti-air is terrible. The upside is that Bouncy Bomb practically always hits.
Resurgence Alternative Link, (Tomes and Aspects Link)

Gambits You Cannot Take:
Foreseen Swordsman's Gambit
Outworn Soldier's Gambit
Farsighted's Gambit
Ingenuous Mage's Gambit

Gambits I Don't Recommend Taking (Ranked 1-10 From "Not So Bad" to "Worst"):
Maddening Mage's Gambit (10) - Big dps loss. Low mobility (low ws, no Stormy, no Bounding Stride) makes it hard to counteract this.
Bleeding Warrior's Gambit (7)
Myopic's Gambit (2) (10 in specific bosses like The Canyon Colossus because hitboxes are weird)

Spoiler: Nimble Phantom Bomb Spell Sharpshooter Siege Vent - No Crep Ray (ETWF)

Why It Sucks:
Low dps (300k). The build is perfectly fine and playable - 300k is actually quite good for nonmythic but you aren't solo killing MOAB with this... I guess Axiom can't either but Axiom is good at tanking MOABs in comparison. You can obviously do better on Crep Ray Sharpshooter or Boltslinger. Same dps as Nimble Phantom Bomb Spell Sharpshooter Baleful Spring when it's not in Baleful Blizzard range.

(Tomes and Aspects Link)

Offhands:
The Hearth [t7t7t7] - Health Regen, Life Steal
-
Apathy [t7t7t7] - Life Steal, Negative Health Bonus for tanking MOAB
Herald of Ruin [f7f7] - Fallout Major ID, fun for big bomb recoil for movement

Main Spell Cycle:
Storm Bomb (0.8s, 7.5 cps) - The 0.8s is based off of Nimble String + Phantom Ray's Duration which will change depending on the tier of your Aspect of the Poltergeist. Base Nimble String Phantom Ray is 0.6s, Nimble String Phantom Ray with tier 3 Aspect of the Poltergeist is 0.8s. The cps changes depending on the duration of your Phantom Ray.

Other Spell Cycles:
Storm Bomb Shield (0.9s, 10 cps) - If you want to cast Arrow Shield while continuing to do dps without it feeling awkward.
Storm Bomb (sub 7.5 cps) - Cast Storm Bomb slower if you're low on mana. Mainly used in WTP Room 1 Ballroom while waiting between purple guys spawning.

Main Attack every 2s for Mana Steal, and Curse Powder Special.

Other Notes:
The build's mana sustain is a little sus. Prioritize spell costs, Mana Regen, and Mana Steal on items.

Gambits You Cannot Take:
Foreseen Swordsman's Gambit
Outworn Soldier's Gambit
Ingenuous Mage's Gambit

Gambits I Don't Recommend Taking (Ranked 1-10 From "Not So Bad" to "Worst"):
Myopic's Gambit (15) - You really shouldn't take this. You can but you are Sharpshooter.
Maddening Mage's Gambit (10) - Messes with movement which can lose Focus.
Bleeding Warrior's Gambit (6)
Leaden Fighter's Gambit (5) - The mana sustain is a little sus. May not want to play with 40% of your mana bar. This can be an upside as it boosts Concentration Powder Special.

Spoiler: Nimble Phantom Bomb Spell Sharpshooter Mark of the Huntsman - No Crep Ray (ETWF)

Why It Sucks:
Low dps (250kish) and low ehp. I really just wanted this bow to work but nah, it can literally be beaten by Apathy, a Unique bow. It is probably best suited in Hybrid Boltslinger which is awkward given the Major ID is for Homing Shots and it has -3rd% which Hybrid Bolt doesn't even use.

(Tomes and Aspects Link)

Offhands:
The Hearth [t7t7t7] - Health Regen, Life Steal
-
Apathy [t7t7t7] - Life Steal, Negative Health Bonus for tanking MOAB
Herald of Ruin [f7f7] - Fallout Major ID, fun for big bomb recoil for movement

Main Spell Cycle:
Storm Bomb Main Attack (0.7s, 10 cps) - The 0.7s is based off of Slow Attack Speed as this is a semi Hybrid build. Slow Attack Speed is one attack every 0.67s -> round that up to 0.7s.

Other Spell Cycles:
Storm Bomb (Main Attack) Shield (1s, 10 cps) - If you want to cast Arrow Shield while continuing to do dps without it feeling awkward.
Storm Bomb (sub 10 cps) - Cast Storm Bomb slower if you're low on mana. Cast Main Attack whenever off cd, it won't line up as nicely but whatever. Mainly used in WTP Room 1 Ballroom while waiting between purple guys spawning.

Other Notes:
The build's mana sustain is a little sus but made worse if you are not able to consistently Main Attack every 0.7s. Prioritize spell costs, Mana Steal, and Mana Regen on items.

Gambits You Cannot Take:
Foreseen Swordsman's Gambit
Outworn Soldier's Gambit
Ingenuous Mage's Gambit

Gambits I Don't Recommend Taking (Ranked 1-10 From "Not So Bad" to "Worst"):

Maddening Mage's Gambit (10) - Messes with movement which can lose Focus.
Leaden Fighter's Gambit (9) - The mana sustain is a little sus and made more difficult by Slow Attack Speed. May not want to play with 40% of your mana bar.
Bleeding Warrior's Gambit (8)

Spoiler: Builds I've Yet to Try

WIP, I have a lot of theorized builds but I wanted to post this thread before Forums deletes my work (I've had that happen in the past).
