Quick Update: The Periphery Bow & League Start Reality Check 🏹🐒
Earlier before this league start, I speculated about the Periphery Unique Bow. I wanted to give you a quick update: I haven’t tested it as much as I planned. In the early endgame, it felt a bit lackluster with my current setup, so I decided to switch to my "Plan B" - the Ape Companion Boss build.
And honestly? The monkey is BLASTING! 🐒 I’m having a blast with this build, so I’m sticking with it for now.
Is the Periphery Bow actually weak? I wouldn't say that yet. It definitely needs heavy investment and a very specific setup (stacking flat damage on rings & quiver for those Azmerian Swarms) which I haven't fully optimized. Since you can't upgrade it with Runes, and the base weapon damage is low, the scaling curve is steep. It might still be a "hidden gem" for a niche meme build, but for now, I’m focused on the Companion.

Have you guys tested the Periphery Bow? Did anyone manage to make those Swarms scale properly? Let me know in the comments!
