Not sure if this was answered yet already or if I am blind, but what are your recommendations for 5links if you have a 5l glare and hyrri's. I am newer to the bow so curious.

I'm honestly not sure if you're trolling, the trees are on the front page.

I'm not trolling ,,, in the PoB link and where are the level tree with the final tree are different ... so that is why im asking ... maybe pls make a PoB with the level trees .. that is the easyest way to follow :)

I have a few questions about this build.

1) Why are you using a base phys weapon when most of your gear and your gems are set up to scale elemental damage? Scourge Arrow natively converts 60% of physical damage to chaos, thus bypassing all elemental scaling on 60% of your damage.

With this in mind, why not drop phys entirely? I cannot imagine benefiting from % of phys as extra modifiers such as Taste of Hate, and Signal Fire would be enough to make up for the massive damage loss from the chaos damage not benefiting from your elemental damage scaling.

2) What's the point of the faster casting in your helmet setup? Are you simply using it as a slot to level gems? Faster casting will not modify Dash's cast time if that was your intention.

3) Why not use an Assassin's Mark on Hit ring, and an Onslaught on your Herald of Ice? This would allow for Assassin's mark in single target situations, while also giving more reliable onslaught on clear.

4) Have you played around with Charging Offensive at all, can it be used to generate reliable frenzy/endurance charges and maintain them on a single target? Or do you gain a couple then have them fall off?

Thanks for the reply, let me give a little example of the effects of dropping Lioneye's Glare for a base ele bow.

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Legion/90bPKKtK

I picked the Pandemonioum Fletch for 10c.

end result: 1017k thorn arrow dps, up from the original/default of 864k.

Note: this also further would increase by taking Point Blank which would be much more convenient to path to with the new tree.

If I were to optimize the tree a bit, possibly pick up a low level Precision aura to add a bit of accuracy/crit;
5 points saved dropping Winter Spirit.
+3 points put into Heartseeker
+1 point put into Point Blank
+1 point in 5% max life near the duelist start.

Net result: 1580k dps.

I'm not sure how Lioneye's showed up as your top option, I played around with the configuration and couldn't manage to get it above that ele bow.

-----

Also a small note: that 1580k does count the Assassin's Mark default setup.

If we turn that off simulating a real boss with no amark:
1414k dps.
Replacing one opal with a Coral ring with no damage on it nets you 1481k dps, which is again much higher in practice. So in essence: the 25% ele dmg on your opal, is in fact a significant dps loss vs using an Amark ring and having it up on bosses such as U elder.

-----

I can see the whole experience being smooth even without an optimized setup, because a well optimized SA can get 5x as much dps as is needed for most content in the game.
