If one gets a drillneck wouldnt pierce gem be a dps choice for the 6th socket?

I'm pretty much going your build but i saw one that kinda looked interesting and wanted your opinion on it since you're like a subject matter expert.

Also, you mentioned a redit post about crafting the bow, Will you please link that here?


It could be, but slower projectiles should give more damage overall as it is a multiplier. Drillneck does not affect tooltip dps so you will have to manually calculate.


How to craft +2/+1 bow here


It takes 2-3ex on average with a level 8 Catarina. Leo mod after all is said and done too.

Not a big fan of that tree. You lose too much life for the meager amount of damage gained. The radius is nice, but it seems inefficient to me.

If I use The Blood Dance, can I drop Frenzy and replace with Ice shot?
120 alterations and not one +2 to bows....i hate crafting RNG. I feel like its a trap =[

You could but then you drop even more life and won't have frenzy charges for the boss. Further Ice Shot sucks with this build. Sure it will apply the chilled ground, but the damage will still be low. Better to get the resists/life and use frenzy.

This is a fabulous tree. I've just been working on my own and checking between yours and Serleth's and tinkering for the best one. Yours blows them all out of the water. I will have a very happy PA once again after all the points are in.

Hey Grocery, thanks for the nice build. I'm playing it in hardcore talisman and haven't really had any trouble like the other posters before me.

I know the question about running IR + Daresso's + Granite + Grace was asked earlier but I was hoping you would elaborate a bit.

Since I play hardcore I am really am leaning toward this just for the moments you make a mistake or whatnot, shit happens. I'm concerned about the possibility of getting 1shot with pure evasion and dodge? Is the armor route a viable option?

Armor doesn't really help vs big shots though because we won't get enough armor as an archer to make it matter. You will lower a lot of damage from small shots with armor, but you will still have the 1 shot alive and well as an archer.

Grace + vaal Grace + Jade can be good. clearly though top tier is Coil/Hate with this setup.

Armor can be viable,. but if you are trying to stop a 1 shot as a bow build, armor is usually not the answer.

With Lightning Coil in shavs tier most people wont ever have it though.
