Multishot marksman builds?

[Limp Squirrel]

Does anyone know of any decent 1.0 builds for multishot marksman?
My first character did great without the need to find a build one, cause I could plan out the synergies quite easily.

This character, an attempt at a bowazon, just feels gimped. I'm lv 35 and have multishot only at 650-700 damage. Clearing areas is a hassle, it doesn't feel powerful at all. It's rather tedious to play.

I also feel the Marksman tree lacks serious synergy with the rest of the rogue abilities. I was expecting I could convert my mulitshot to lightning to sync with detonating shot.

I'm a bit at a loss here. How do I make this build feasible? I'm also a bit confused on how Bow Damage and Physical Damage interact with skills and weapons overall.

He advertises his own lightning marksman being able to 100-1000 corruption but cannot back it up himself. That's why I don't care about streamers and their empty promises.

I don't see any value in all of that, considering a player around level 35 facing troubles progressing further.

The current top MM is a Jelkhor variant.

Edit: I would like to add there is value in it depending how the player values their time in endgame. As it stands MM cannot push very high without relying on very specific setups. Being able to go as high as possible greatly increases your profits to fund other cool ideas with builds you might have. Most sane players would just swap to falconer for the best profits + fun instead of just fun.

Terrible spot, are you serious?
You can target farm reign of winter EASILY.
You can then play detonating arrow, explosive trap.
You can play bleed multishot with 1000 stacks of bleed,
There is a lot of options, nothing comes closer to Diablo 3 Demon Hunter screen clearing bow multishot build.

Yeah, you can do those if you are contempt with farming below 200 corruption only.
Lower it by another 100 if the player is bad at dodging enemy attacks.

There is more than enough footage on youtube of marksman doing 600+ corruption with explosive trap + detonating arrow.

Reign of winter perma freeze with explosive trap and detonating arrow will have the crowd control to push beyond 200+ corruption with ease as well.

Are you resilient to advice? You are at level 35 and said having issues but here you let yourself getting derailed to worry about if you'll be able to farm the highest content possible instead?

Reaching monoliths sounds like the first milestone to consider worrying about.

Anyway, guess I will record reaching monos with a marksman next, practice what I preach and get it taped as well.

Not resilient advice, but rather making a judgement call that the build I wanted is not feasible/does not exist in the current state of the game. On top of that, the advertised builds do not appeal to me. It's either a variation of flurry + Mm or detonating arrow and traps.

You can target farm reign of winter, you can progress there with physical multishot and flurry and then respec to explosive trap and detonating arrow.
It is hard to get smoother than that to progress into the endgame.

Yes, the same build I mentioned using Jelkor's. Thanks for proving me right.

explosive trap + det arrow is indeed CRAZY strong, but it shouldn't be the only one.

i really like marksman as well, or the thought of her, but just feels weird to go marksman and not put any points into the actual tree

[Psykrom]

This is an example on how to invest into the marksman skill tree, could even use arrow guard as quiver:

The useful passives were gutted in 0.9, so you are losing value if you invest in those. They pick the mastery only to access Detonating Arrow. If there was no such requirement, those builds would be either Falconer or BladeDancer.
Falconer has a fresh and untested tree with lots of powerful nodes. Some of them are bugged though sadly, like the one that converts your block chance to glancing blow chance.(which is bad idea anyway, unless your block effectivness is super terrible)

[Psykrom]

You can use arrowguard + block to glancing blow with the quiver. Seems more than reasonable and cool to me.

Scipo0419 - you keep saying frenzy, but that's just a positive ailment as in a buff.
You mean flurry I guess?

You're right! Flurry is Frenzy in my brain, idk why.

No problem, just thought it could confuse new players.

You should make a new comment in such a case, I only saw this by chance.

I always notice that many players think they need to be as efficient as if they went to work. But gaming is one of the few exceptions we get, when we do not have to worry about efficiency and do not have to function like clockwork.

I could see myself being content with farming 200 corruption and get all the gear I need to try new builds. The first two weeks I did nothing else but to roll new characters to try stuff to a certain point, only to move on to the next. I didn't need any gear or wealth for any of that.

Nobody gets to define how you want to spend your playtime but you. If you want to be as efficient as possible, I guess that is fine too. I just want to relax and have fun. Anything I squeeze out on top of that is just a bonus.

100%. I absolutely agree with you. If you don't mind just getting base uniques and a LP 1 here and there then that is entirely up to you. Like I said it depends how the player values their time in endgame.

Base uniques is pushing it a little, I frequently find items with 1-2 LP.
Sold a 2LP ladle for several millions 15 days ago. Not to mention that I can trade for gear as well. If I was CoF I would have been more inclined to push corruption further.
