Playing a deep ganomee version right now.  Decided to drop manyshot for the greater enchantment focus.  I'm not a big equipment swapper in the heat of battle.  Can swap back later if I really see the need.
  

If you can roll it you can smoke it.  If you can carve it you can smoke with it.

Shuriken bypass the ICD for all shurikens midair. The ICD applies to new attacks within 1 second after a hit.

Repeaters/GxB generally eat all the ICD. I never tested if double shot allowed you to bypass ICD once.



I wouldn't run this build with a repeater your giving away the 19-20 and all the SA mate.

Thank you for this build! 

I capped it last week and I just added the Machine of madness  to it yesterday and the carnage is fucking amazing. I have never led kill counts so consistently before.  I don't have all the EPLs yet and its still the nastiest toon I've ever played.

Agreed. I think the overlooked strength of it is how good it is as a grind machine. I have ETR'd and ground out 20-30 six times since starting my terror and filled all my ED's running it, something I thought I would never get around to. With a slight investment in gear it's been a sweet solo build as well, although it's dps is definitely higher in groups.

What two feats would you pick up if you are not running a completionist and wanted to drop many shot on the Great Terror Primal?

I could maybe see dropping manyshot if you did not want to be forced to swap out xbow and normal bow to use it, maybe Weapon Focus and Greater Weapon Focus for the ranged power?

Maybe, I was just thinking from memory for something that was not already there and might at least add a little dps if you were to remove those feats.

Also positive spell power feat > overwhelming critical for great terror primal? would think the extra crit multiplier would be pretty strong

Did some testing and didn't get any better ranged attack speed with the shiradi diletente thing from fatesinger twisted in.

this working properly and not a stacking bonus with something else?

Otherwise very solid.  have run Steel's GT, and a modified version of Jakeela's Tiny Terror.   both amazing builds.

Have to say Im leaning towards the shuri variant right now though.  modified some feats and gear, and am getting 83 DCs (without T3 Legendary greensteel, without festive augment, without new quality wisdom cloak)

Remember that you can get a +2 quality enchantment focus necklace now in the new quests, as well as that +4 quality wisdom cloak.

This version should have 88 DCs, + the taint the blood debuff

you do lose the 19-20 vorpol range, but the throwspeed and extra shurikans seem to make up for it.

Based on the last testing done almost two years ago, Echoes of Shiradi in itself adds 5.35% on it's own and stacks but it's less effective when you have other things like Whirling Wrists in the mix.

I would also love to see your modded shuri build when you're done as I'm going to TR into one soon-ish(TM).

Maybe add your version to Jakeelala's build thread?

Much appreciated in advance!

Except when you are using Endless-fusilade!  Cheesy then it's all GxB. I can clean out entire rooms with one volley now that I geared up and practiced using IPS fully.

Looking at this closer, to use arcane warrior you would have to spam the spells at a fairly consistent rate, isn't that going to cut into your attack cycle if you pause to cast a spell every 6 second?

Was just saying that the new gear has 2 pieces that are worthwhile.

The Legendary Hypnotic Pendant (+2 quality enchantment focus)
Legendary Earthen Mantle (+4 quality wisdom)

bumps DCs there by 4

Solo = chucker or GT
With group = GT FTW simply because of the avalanche of Sneak attack damage.

Both are fun fun fun

If you are running a primal GT the spirit procs every-time you hit something with terror counting it as a spell.... for a while it was procing Arcane Warrior before they stealth nerfed it, but I don't know if that is broken again now.

If it is.... wooooo hooooo

In EE content does the lower dex result in a lot of misses? Thinking if zen archery might have a place.  Also, I have not used a crossbow in a good long while, but manyshot does require a change to a bow still to get the benefit? or when they changed it to doubleshot and ranged power did they screw that up?

Probably a Thunder-forged one with the right mods but Divine Artillery will do nicely, too.

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
