[Version 0.10.7] gh0un´s Point Blank, Rain of Arrows Bowrauder

Are all the elemental damage nodes just to support the added fire damage gem? I don't think I understand how Catalyse and the weapon element damage nodes effect this build since your bow is pure physical, what am I missing?

You are missing blackgleam.
Ill update a small section about this in the OP, so it becomes clear.

Blackgleam + hatred + added fire (and anger and wrath) combined make it so that about 90% of your damage becomes elemental.
My character currently deals 6% of his damage as physical due to all the conversion.
This does not mean that the damage does not scale with physical % increases, it does.
The physical damage you have is first increased by physical damage passives, and then it is converted.
After it has been converted, it scales again with elemental damage passives.

ah yes, for some reason I read blackgleam as adding more physical damage. Thanks for taking the time to explain how the elemental damage adds up.

You may have confused Blackgleam with this one:

Thanks a lot for explaining the progression Gh0un, I'm sure it will help more people in the future as it has helped me.

As I said, clever ;)

How's this build?

No Crit

I don't like crit much so I opted for this, which focuses more on enhancing elemental damage instead so I can plow through.

But it did mean I gave up 25% life, though I'm not sure how significant that actually is later.

Surely you can alter the build to suit your taste, as I have already. As long as you are aware that your build is 103 points so you'll be over level 80 before you reach it.

Gh0un explains somewhere here (last 17 pages, OP, or videos I can't remember at this time) why he prefers the crit.

I'm sure others would agree though that when you get to doing 70+ maps more HP becomes more valuable than killing things slightly faster. So more to the point the HP is very significant. You could always respec the points to suit your taste when you get there ;)

Edit: Forgot to mention that like Freezing pulse, when one of the 'projectiles' from RoA crits, they all crit.

Wait, how does that work?

Does it roll a crit check for each enemy hit, and if a single one crits, it all crits?

Because it that's so, I can definitively see why crit multipliers are amazing. A 10% crti chance effectively becomes 47% vs 6 targets.

Nah, it just checks whether the attack crits or not.
If it crits, it crits everyone.

Hey Gh0un I need some aura help. I am using the same build as you are. Hwever, my 7th aura is 6 mana short, and even if I get +maximum mana, it will increase even more. Should I just wait for my reduced mana gem to level up (it is level 17 atm, so probably going to take long) or is there any other way? I tried to get 2 8% increase mana nodes, but the mana req keeps increasing. Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I already watched your aura video so I did the same thing. Last % mana reserved aura is only 6 mana short T.T

You need one more level on reduced mana gem.
Getting mana doesn´t help because you are running % reserving auras on your mana globe.
