Is there a bullet hell build?

[Mr Compassionate]

I want to become a bullet hell boss, is it viable or will I have a s**t character? The only viable builds I've found are out of date.

You can try cwdt builds or maybe cospris malice or that barrage specific build ( with the special jewel).

Maybe a build with Poets Pen

1. Play in Abyss league.

2. Make a Templar with Hierophant Ascendency.

3. Get this staff:

4. Pick as many Jewel sockets as you can, and all of the Totem nodes in your passive tree. Make sure to try to get at least 200% life as well. I recommend downloading and using Path of Building for this.

5. Stack life, damage to spells, elemental damage / specific elemental damage of your spell choice. Get all of this and tons of it on Abyss Jewels (Searching Eye, Murderous Eye, etc), fill all your gear with similar stuff, or things that give you additional projectiles for that extra bullet hell boss feeling.

This ring is an example of what that could be, but it offers no survivability stuff aside from cold resistance, so it comes at a bit of a cost.

6. Use all this stuff together with Spell Totem. Cool skills to use would be stuff like Frostbolt or Fireball. Frostbolt is probably exactly what you're looking for, to use with something like this.

Congratulations, you can now drop 4+ totems that all rapidly spam tons of 'bullets' all over the screen that do respectable damage.

Magma orb builds might be for you, although to do it to the extreme it can be quite expensive. You could fire 80ish orbs per second, and obliterate the screen. i7 required.

EK build with Lightpoacher? Only thing I can think of that fits the description "Bullet Hell Build"

Bullet hell as in you have to dodge everything (all the "bullets") yourself because you die so easily, but you also "shoot lots of bullets"?

That's a fast moving glass cannon.

Ranger, xoph's nurture, xoph's blood, drillneck, burning arrow build.

One of the fastest moving and clearing characters out there. Can clear the entire screen (and the screen next to it that you can't see yet) in a second. But if the monster/boss has lots of hp, be prepared to put your dodging skills to the test, cause you squishy as f.



On a side note: I dislike glass cannon builds in this game. Too much spontaneous server lag.

I actually meant just standing there s**ting projectiles in all directions but I like your suggestion. Might try it once I'm more experienced (Ima newb)

I've kind of done this with storm burst, cast speed, multiple projectiles, etc. But it wasn't actually that good.

Only EK is surely not a good boss killer :)

in the #1 post is no clarification about boss killing or something else. and EK with the helm is bullet hell

[mss73055]

I use shock nova for my bullet hell Scion. Trololololololo :D
Shock Nova + Tree Dragons = always hits, always freezes.

@thread
You want frostbolt with the volley gem on a six link
You want EK with the threshhold jewel on a four link
And then you want magma orb on another four link.
Scale spell damage and elemental damage.

You now have a touhou boss build; A wall of projectiles, angled projectiles, and a nova ability.
Alternately you could focus entirely on one element with a volley supported spell, a multiple projectiles supported spell, and a nova spell.
