Will a bow with 350+ pDPS boost my DPS by hefty margin?

YES.

Try and get a bow with ias and higher min/max physical damage rolls. Something like this or better:



Honestly it's probably worth scouring that bow and crafting ias in place of wed and aim for a higher flat phys dmg roll. it'll make a big difference. in any case if you're going to invest in 6ling you want the bow to be pretty damn solid, and 273 pdps is pretty bad honestly compared to what it could be. (mine's 340 iirc, for reference)

Also, why no Atziri's Step? 14-16% spell dodge is an extremely significant boost to ehp and worth juggling jewelry a bit to cap resists.

Yes it's worth it, that's what I said. Why would I have included them in my own endgame gear otherwise?! But if you are strapped for cash and hit a glass ceiling there's no point hanging on to them. Replace, advance in the game, get them back. It is just so much easier and cost effective to replace step instead of already decent jewellery to save up for several gear upgrades at once. Especially if you are using Lightning Coil like the poster I told this to.

Edit: @Suxipo2001 And you should definitely not scour that bow. You should remove the master crafted mods. That's probably what alex meant. Scouring would net you a white bow. And the master crafted flat phys is actually not that bad. The min roll could be higher. But I agree. Atk spd hugely outperforms because every +atk speed you get scales of the speed of the weapon.

That weapon cant get atk spd on it. There are already 3 suffixes including master mod. Unless you want to sacrifice crit multiplier or go full scourge and craft everything from scratch which is pointless... Probably alex meant the scourge really:)

Just sell that bow when you got better and use it until that moment.



I also have a similar troll bow in my stash. Considering craft or not to craft... I ll craft suffixes then exalt it for a prefix, probably then i ll sell it if no good pre comes out. Cuz i am already using another self crafted troll bow.

Okay, I'll keep an eye out on poe.trade for a Life + 2Res chest. So far nothing in my price range, at least from people Online. I've yet to get a response from anyone offline using poe.trade, so I avoid them.

Finally hit level 78, so I've got to decide where to take my character beyond the 99 point build. Currently considering speccing into Weathered Hunter to get 14% to all Res's, to give me some more freedom upgrading my gear.

Hired Killer and Piercing Shots both look really good though... Ah, the decisions :\

I always pull open the sale thread from .trade to see when the sellers last update was. If there's a good item at a good price, and the seller has updated recently, I'll throw them on my friends list until I see them online. Saves from refreshing poe.trade constantly.

I like Weathered Hunter. Only 3 points to invest since you're on the path already. Gives you accuracy, resists, and some extra dex.

I plan on finishing my tree around the Hired Killer / True Strike / Harrier nodes. Plus you go through Reflexes to get to them for a decent evasion bump on the way.

Ah! I didn't think of that, I'll definitely try that... once I get some currency. I can't get much for 5 Chaos haha.

Those are the nodes I was considering, so I might do that then. Thanks!

Also, is there an easy way to figure out your Max Mana with aura's and reduced mana and such without actually doing the spec and finding out? I want to regret the 3 nodes I used to get Mana Leech, since I get 2% from my Quiver, but I'm not sure I'll have enough Mana left afterwards...

i meant atk speed instead of crit multi. sry for the confusion. outperforms multi in most cases

google "poe aura calculator"

edit: just realized that you want to calculate you new max mana. wasnt there an option in poebuilder at one time to include gear, or am i mistaken?

ah cool. didn't know that one. thx
