I am still having problems killing shaper, playing this build for 1 month now, my gear is up to the point, but something is still missing. I dont know is it because i use Deadeye, and missing some key nods on Assasin class.
Overall my Barrage is 21k and LA 35K, when i do burst damage on Shaper the rate of degen on him is pretty low. I killed all other guardians, incuding Haydra deathless.
I use Phase Acro, so i can stay long in fight against Shaper but as I said, I do to low DPS on him and he eventualy kills me with his minions and to much clutter.
+2 barrage enchant on helmet and +1 corruption on quiver. That will effectively double barrage's deeps. Also I'd switch out slower projectiles for crit multi. It will give you the same deeps (albeit the damage will be sporadic rather than flat) but you won't have to channel as long, will help keep you more mobile and deliver the same damage.
Remember that they buffed him, and OP's video of the Shaper is when he was originally released. He is much harder now, which is orbs ands adds doing way more damage. He is also smarter in how he delivers his beam.
Lastly, Deadeye doesn't bring the same deeps. She has more tricks with regards to stacking crit chance, but the Shadow does way more damage when ramped up and ramps up poison a lot stronger and faster.
I also would consider to drop fast and deadly for rupture. The increase in single target damage is really significant
Edit: There is another fault in the skill tree. With powerful precision it is not needed to invest into the pierce cluster. Either drop these points or drop powerful precision or the pierce gem. I would recommend to avoid the pierce cluster, freeing 4 passive points

This is an Assassin's forum thread...
Auctioneer House - is a MUST!
'POE2' is not 'POE1 2.0'! https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3614313
Thanks for your answers. I agree that using volley fires is not a good option in the end. Losing 3 jewels is too heavy to deal with. I was hoping that one VF would be enough since ROTC has a built in GMP. However, i think i need to farm a little bit currency to link my CW. As i said, don't want to miss my acuity :)
But even with CW i need to figure some things out. To be able to dual curse is nice, but i have no idea how to apply the curses. COH gloves are no option for me :). Going for 2 Blasphemys would mean i will lose grace. Maybe possible with Alphas and charisma?
With my pure physical Deadeye i am cursing with HOI in maps and frenzy on bosses. But with this character i am using TS both for Single target and map clearing. There is no need for an additional single target skill. However, i think the real power of this build lies in the strong single target damage with barrage. So there is no place for a COH setup.
You could just live off of Witchfire Brew. Non-boss you can keep it up 100% of the time very easily. The only downside is it won't reach as far as your shots do, but that same thing applies to Blasphemy anyways.

Which is more important? To have increased chaos damage on you jewellery or have added chaos damage? What do you guys think?
If you're adamant, I would do something like THIS. I would advise against doing that, but you could.
No, there is too many life nodes :)
Here is my version of the devastating glass cannon
But this guy would be oneshotted by every monster around at T10+ maps :D
Ha, yeah, I wanted to be somewhat realistic. More DPS, but not easily killed due to a light breeze. :P

You could potentially run TS for the map and swap it out for Barrage on bosses, freeing up a 5/6L spot.
Personally, I don't think IC with CWDT has enough uptime to justify the gem slots, at least not without nearly perfected gear. I think dual-CoH would be fine in one of the 4-slots. <Skill>-CoH-Vuln-Temp or whichever two curses you want to run. You could go with Split Arrow to get more spread since you don't need to refresh Frenzy for poisoning. You could keep Frenzy if you want to keep charges up on the boss still.
