The Mathil Tornado/Puncture Spec - Cheap Uber Atziri Viable

I am not sure if this has been mentioned by any player, but we totally have enough mana to run hearld of ice as 3rd aura. It might be a good idea to grab charisma wheel after all.

Btw, it is good to have 3 sockets for ice shot just to deal with physical reflect mob if you got a high damage bow. I linked it with ice shot-phy projectile-added fire.

I am currently lv78 and this is my gears and planned tree.


skill tree

I am noticing a lack of accuracy.

Sitting at 90% atm, i've got accuracy on most of my pieces, how much accu are you guys sitting at?

If you take charisma wheel could you run Herald of Ash, Hatred and Haste?

Why added fire for puncture? It doesn't boost the bleeding damage. Isn't increased critical strikes better?

Can't speak for mathil but that's what I have been doing. I run ash, ice and hatred. Still have mana to run all of my skills. some mana leech on gear (or until then the mana leech passive) is enough. No need for charisma which wouldn't allow you to shoehorn another aura anyhow.

I imagine that the fire damage which is 39% at lvl 20 along with the fire damage from herald are a great on hit damage and with the high chance to crit you have a high chance to ignite (except atziri) which is like a double degen effect with the bleed.

Which one is the best among these three bows? Or... is ANY of these substantially better than the others? I can't simulate nor figure it out.

bow 1) 258 pDPS - 70 eDPS - 1.2 APS - 9.05 CRIT . Total DPS 327.6

bow 2) 266.7 pDPS - 53 eDPS - 1.18 APS - 9.0 CRIT. Total DPS 319.78

bow 3) 274 pDPS - 39.3 eDPS - 1.33 APS - 9.15 CRIT. Total DPS 313.2

I finally dared to try Über Atziri on my crit bow Shadow, and I did it on my first try. This thread and Mathil's Über Atziri video is a big part of the reason both that I tried and that I succeeded.

I have some ideas of my own that I've incorporated, and I might want to make my own thread about the build, but for now I'm posting here.

Here's the video of Über Atziri. My second ever try. It's unedited.

Edit: I noticed the recording had no audio. So I went ahead and made a new recording.

After some more consideration, I think the desired endgame gear in regards to getting RRRR sockets might be:
Rat's Nest
Rare Chest
Rare AR/EV Gloves to get RRRR with Manaleech (if you can't get it on Jewelry)
Atziri's Step
Drillneck (since Leech now comes from the gloves)

Got this beauty yesterday for a bit more than 2 ex, so my resists look pretty good now:

I'd say the second one is slightly better because it has the highest average phys dmg per hit.

why don´t u use herald of ice u should have enuff mana to sustain 2heralds and hatred? any special reason?
