What if I get 2 6links with this build? should I do curse on hit + vuln on puncture?

Also, how do you keep up on mana without potting all the time?

I wouldn't 6 link the Puncture then. I'd 6-link the HoA. Probably with reduced mana and grace.


Only if you want to eat the Increased AoE gem cost on your Grace.


What do you think about a carcass jack as a chest item for this build?
so whats next for this build if we are kinda done or out lvled the bow and dragon helm? get a phyi bow with cirt? and rats net? and still going on same passive tree? or what? by the sounds of it the items for the build stop dead at lvl 67+
Why do you take the Ele nodes instead of the phys nodes at the start? It seems to me the phys nodes would work better as Ice shot converts your physical damage.

Seriously what? The bow eventually gets traded out for a crafted bow. The 3D helm is a functionality you can't get anywhere else, you don't outlevel it if you want fire to cause shocks and ice not to shatter you corpses.

This isn't a game where you just outlevel build enabling uniques. There's no replacement.

If we remove the elemental nodes, there is no scaling for your Herald of Ash. It is better to have a balance of burn damage and hit damage than having only one of them.
Please keep us updated on your end game changes. Im having a blast with this build, and thats what its all about. Thanks for the build!
Hey, just wanted to thank you for the build , it is great !
So far I am at lvl 78, and going really great.

I got past the infractem by using a Perce gem, to remaind at 100% pierce.

I can see that you no longer are using a 3D, how is that working for you ?

- Also, Drillneck is crazy expensive in Rampage atm. How much does it give in terms of DPS and to the build overall ?
Is it really worth the cost, or would a really good rare quiver do just as good ?

Thank you in advance !

If I am going to add Doriyanis Invitation, what one do I add, phy or fire? Anyone using that belt to much success?

At higher levels, dying ruins your whole day of leveling. I am much happier with a survival increase using Alpha's Howl and Grace. It does slow my clear speed a bit, but it isn't so bad.

Drillneck was a solid 40% damage increase for me. I went from 10K Ice Shot to 14k.

If you can afford it, Drillneck is very worth it.
I can five link puncture, would faster projectiles be the next best thing to put into it?
