Cheers! |

With the multimod nerf, what's the recommended bow setup now?

" ya i like TR more too, its my fav skill, but i've played it for too many leagues in a row as well and i want something different. TRs damage is vastly higher than CA, but the CA damage being immediate feels great for mapping because it instantly kills everything. i can also go the phasing route so i can get very tanky feeling. depending on how my bow gets crafted i may end up going back to TR - just depends if i get attack speed or not. i got lucky then pretty unlucky on my craft here. to hit these mods was great, but then i failed the 50/50 regal to hit a suffix. i hit a prefix so i can't add another +1 gems but i'll farm up einhar and once i get the remove a random prefix and add a suffix i'll have another 50/50 shot at being able to get nearly the perfect bow. it would be absolutely perfect for TR if the suffix added is any type of attack speed edit: i just compared, and with TR i'd have about 2x or 2.5x the damage than my CA, but i'd also have 650 less hp, less dodge/spell dodge, not immune to all ailments, and required to stand still for at least 2 seconds to see those full damage numbers. ya i'll probably just stick with CA this league - there is another build or two i wanna do this league anyway Last edited by xMustard#3403 on Dec 29, 2019, 9:44:26 PM

"So how does it work for you combining CA (self cast I imagine) with totems? I'm trying to get my own CA build (target: CI occultist) but wondering what to put on the "filler" sockets since I don't need a wither totem when my ascendancy is gonna be a walking wither totem itself. Does toxic rain + ballista support add a lot of damage or is it just to debuff mobs / draw aggro and distract them from hitting you? |
|
" Good bow, I also was trying crafting a bow with +1 +2 and damage over time, I crafted this one, at the end, works well this culling strike. :) |
|
" it is some decent added damage but its mostly used to wither mobs and slow them. drawing aggro is sometimes a benefit. keep in mind that occultist wither takes a very long time to stack up. |
|
" Regarding Toxic rain + ballista = A lot of more damage, I just recorded a movie killing a Metamorph T15 only with Ballista: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4rarf4uvDQ&feature=youtu.be And I`m not focusing totally in damage in Ballistas, I`m testing GMP instead of others damage gems, but probably this damage can be improved lot more. At the end, my self cast TR + totem TR = A BIG damage :) |
|
"Can you stack wither from different sources, like if you use withering step + wither totem, or with withering touch ballistas, does it stack twice as fast than if you only used 1 source? If you use Occultist wither node and wither totem would it stack faster or just overwrite each other? |
|
|
it stacks faster.
since its different sources of the same debuff they will add onto one another |

Thanks Xmustard!
Now I have to rethink my character setup... --- Afonsosp, how do you get much damage from the totems when it's not buffed by levels from the bow, ballista support is -41% damage and multiple totems is -21% damage? On paper it seems they wouldn't be doing good damage, so what's the secret? |
