The Mathil Tornado/Puncture Spec - Cheap Uber Atziri Viable

Loving the build so far! I was playing the Chin Sol/Ice Shot spec for the early part of the league, but swapped to this and find it vastly more suitable to my play style (ie, lazy aiming).





One question though, I had this crafted and the guy put on attack speed instead of crit. Is this going to cause me a shortage up dps? or is IAS and crit chance basically even in terms of added dps? Should I scrub it and redo the master mods?

Here is my build, I'm running Grace instead of HoA due to tabula rasa.
Puncture dps: 7k
Tornado Shot dps: 10k



Other Gear


Build

Did little bit of upgrading since last post...bow was not that great for end game.. is now ;-) 15.6 kdps with Tornado..41.5k with puncture getting real close to crit nodes can't wait to c the dps then current gear now

Ok, so I'm lvl 74 now, and running mostly 67 maps since I don't have many higher ones yet. I do fine with those, but I'm trying to figure out what I should focus on next to improve my DPS and survivability for higher level maps. Wanted to see if anyone had suggestions. I know my bow kinda sucks since it lacks crit.

My tooltip DPS (with HoA and Hatred)
Tornado: 3547
Puncture: 5515
Fire/Cold/Light/Chaos Res: 67/76/75/-60

Here's my current passive tree (I have 9 pts to spend):


Here's my gear. I'm pretty poor. Have maybe 20c (mostly from selling alts), some alchs, and a smattering of other currency. Haven't found an exalt or anything high like that yet, so not really in a position to buy a decent bow. They all seem to be around 4ex now.

Is critical chance or critical multiplier more important on a puncture build?

Multiplier is far more important. You can always fire another arrow or two to get a crit, it's much more important that you get the biggest Puncture crits possible as it sets the damage for the entire duration of the bleed. This combined damage is often enough to 1 crit kill most rares and some bosses.

Is it worth getting drillneck ? and replacing WED gem with pierce ?

Yeah, it is.

But my question was,
If you have drillneck and then replace WED gem with pierce. Would it be higher dps than rare quiver ?

Well, if it wasnt, why would Drillneck cost several exalted?

haven't played in a while.. started again this weekend and decided to try this build.

Apparently I got really lucky on this bow, anyone mind telling me what I should do to finish it?



thx!
