Anyone else interested in making a build with the new unique bow, Periphery? Would love to get ideas on the best skill to use and how to scale its damage. Do you think the low phys damage is a problem considering all bow skills converts phys?
Does increasing attack speed affect charge speed animations and rune attack animations, or is it mostly just for normal attacks?
I haven’t tested this myself yet since I’m still pretty new and experimenting with my own build. Is it possible to cut the charge time roughly in half, or is there a cap where attack speed stops affecting it?
EDIT: Tested it. It appears to affect charge time and animation.
I enjoy playing ARPGs with my own off-meta builds rather than following guides. I’m new to this game and curious about how deep the build design and diversity really go.
For context, I’m coming from PoE2, where reaching and thriving in the endgame is heavily gear-dependent. Is it similar here, or is there more flexibility in making different builds work?
How easy is it to “brick” a build? Does the game punish experimentation, or is there room to try things out without ruining your progress?
Also, how accessible is it to switch things up—like trying new weapons, skills, or playstyles mid-run?
Overall, can you realistically succeed with an original build, or are build guides pretty much required for endgame?
