I think the Replica Alberon boots is an interesting twist. However, I wonder how one would go about crafting anything but strength stacking without the Harvest-crafting. For the mid-game, it's OK to sacrifice other mods for stacking up strength since you also gain more life in the process for defense. It will, however, inflict a huge opportunity cost in the late game.
In addition, I saw some SA builds, using this Replica boots, try to stack up strength at the expense of everything else including APS, defense (additional endurance charges, Fortify, etc.), DoT multiplier, Tailwind, etc. That may throw their builds off balance. Without defense, one cannot be stationary long enough to inflict damage via SA channelling. Without high APS, one needs to stand still longer for channelling. As a result, one's poison damage will plummet a lot compared to their paper DPS in PoB since they have a hard time standing still for SA channelling. At the end of the day, the SA's combined damage is a function of APS, poison/hits and defense - to some extent, without either SA will likely struggle in the end game.
Having said that, never say never I guess. Perhaps, there will be briliant minds who have the bank and the knowledge to make Replica boots a serious contender for SA's end-game practice. There is just not any that I am aware of as of now.
I'm trying str stacking right now, but without sacrificing most of features of the build. Didn't have much time to play, so my bank is low, can't afford all the multimoded afixes yet, focus and so on.
I think strength rolls won't cost us that much. Placed in jewel slots, it gives us life and damage, so that sort of evens out, and damage goes even high because of absurd levels of flat chaos damage. Big gear slots would be amulet, kinda have to use astramentis to not run out of dexterity.
as you can see fortify goes from blighed gloves enchant, no aspect of the spider in that case. I still need precision to get good hit chance, so can't use it yet anyway.
I think minmaxing this approach definitely has potential, it for sure was cheaper than standard gear at least so far. Damage is great, I can 1 shot map bosses in T13 red maps no problem, clear great too.

Hi, I'm mostly new to the game (260h), occasionaly play League I feel like it and find a decent build.Found that one, really loved in phase of using TR + CA, but since switching to SA + BR and medium overhaul to passive tree (right now I'm following the PoB with paths for IR or Acro and went with IR) my defenses and damage fell off.As I'm really new I don't know how to move forward from what I have to the point where I can have fun with build again.If someone could help out a fellow guy on what to focus on -items, stats etc.'Cause I really love the game and stuff, but kinda lose my willingess to play further

Neat itemization! Thanks for sharing. The idea to put Hardened Scars on the blighted gloves is clever. If you can cap your accuracy without Precision (maybe an end-game Quiver with flat accuracy?), Aspect of the Spider could be a possibility as a crafted suffix.
With a Dying Sun and some other optimization for the end-game, I think you gonna deal a good amount of damage with hits and poison, esp. by the initial arrows.
Overally, quite a nice setup. Good luck on your end game.

You are putting your SA on a 4-link which significantly reduces your DPS.
Buying a corrupted 6-link chest like you did, but with a different color sockets, GGGBBB preferably. Put your SA on that 6-link. If you still struggle with your DPS, start to craft the poison Elder (thicket) bow (ilvl83+) with fossil.
Hi Wolfie, thanks for the build guide.
Can i check, will you recommend going dodge or armour iron reflex build?
I swapped to the armor build but it feels kinda squishy at about 6k armor. tried to fix it with a jade flask which when pop brings me to about 20k coupled with vaal molten shell on a cwdt seems pretty ok now, but im running low on flask options as i've phasing which is amazing for this league due to the run out.
Should i go full dodge instead? (i managed to kill Sirus 7 ytd. pretty ok, dps not the best but sufficient i will say. abt 2-4m depending if i stack it up well)

this is my first Archer in 7 years in the game.Guys I'm Russian sorry for my English Google fucking so.but what should I upgrade next?there are experts ? )Sirius 5 died without problems... p/s sometimes I die from a single blow.
You need to roll your hybrid flask into foreboding or enduring, now you don't get fortify buff from it.
