[1.1] Davos Seaworth's Elemental Split Arrow Build - Solo every map with ease!
" Ugh, I was trying to buy that bow and the seller didn't hold it for me until I was online (opposite timezones). How much is he trying to flip it for? |

We chatted about it for some time but actual price never was spoken, he was waiting for good offer afaik, besides, I wouldn't like to mention anything specific price wise because I don't want to disappoint anyone later.
Real problem is I haven't see him o/l for last 10 days at least but as soon as I see him I'll try to mediate the trade, you can leave me your IGN here or in PM so that I can contact you. Btw how much do you think 50 dps more on bow would influence end dps result? Is it really worth investing heavily on? For me probably not because I would have to give all I have (and more) for that bow but for someone else? IGN STD Ajax_Deadeye| Nathaniel_Corwin| Itane_Shira| Tetra_Mayani| Arkanis_Gath

It looks like he posted it online. Although I offered the BO first, he sold it to someone else already (2nd time I've missed out on this bow). As far as how much DPS it's worth, let's figure it out. I'm ignoring phys damage for this estimate. Also, both bows had the same attack speed, which makes it easier to calculate. I'm doing 3k dps SA/Chain with no frenzy charges now. It's about 1.6k without auras, if I recall correctly. My flat elemental damage per attack stacks up like this:
Bow 109 Ammy 18 L Ring 12 R Ring 14.5 Gloves 25 Quiver 11.5 Total: 190 The upgrade bow was 135.5 ele damage per attack. The total with that bow instead would be 216.5. 216.5/190 is 1.14, so a 14% increase to the non-aura portion. It would have added around 200 tooltip dps for my setup. Not earth shattering, but definitely a noticeable increase in this build. But that's all academic at this point, and I'm back to saving/chancing for a Voltaxic. |

Hey Davos, I just tried building one tree for Shadow, since I prefer this class.
Could you please have a look and comment on it? http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYBBLMFLQX5DH0OPA6tD6sQfxQgFE0UcRR1FfAWbxjbGYUZ1xo4Gmwa2x4aIWAkqiaVJ-0otSlPKaUqWzIBMgkyiTY9Nuk6UkCgQapDnEp9UEdVS1XGVgRW-lfiWfNgS2CIYVJh4mOnZ6BnvW1sbXtyqXRBdO108Xfleu982YKbhmCHdohrj0aQVZcGmyaboZ2unrmfy6IAo4qnCKcwp4SsqrIZtUi4k8AaxKLGns9lz3rQ0NIZ1tHdRt7237_jauQi53To1uw47g7vTvAf8933Mvjr-WP8TvzF_5M= I want it to be as strong as yours. Do I lose much in comparison to the Duelist build? thanks for the feedback zzz

Check this page in thread, first post (spoiler):
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/428059/page/18 here a guy debates efficiency of builds and overall bonuses /davos vs his alternative. You may use it to compare with yours, but from what my untrained eye has saw no way your way is better, in fact it's probably much worse.

i just leveled this build. when i hit merciless i put on some selffound items from other chars and bought a thicket bow for a couple gcp´s and it was smooth all way thru merci. at lvl 63 i started chaining 66 maps and Everything dies so fast. very fast mapclearing build this with not Amazing gear. A bit fragile when i lag/desync in combination of my low gear but its fine.
My only (huge) issue with this is that i feel bad for playing this char when i could just play my totem sporker and gain 5x the loot cause he can use more MF. Even though i enjoy this char more it still gets frustrating after a few hours of clearing maps when you know you could get so much more loot =/ |

Today is the second time I've read about in similar guides how pierce owns chain and that it's far better choice. It's hard to say for sure, it's all very situational. I've tested low level pierce on docks and results are ... promising, certainly worth look into more.
Chain guarantees 3 targets hit for every projectile that actually hits. That's 150% of initial damage (50% damage penalty) Pierce does not have minimal damage but does not have maximal one either. If he hits one target, you get 100% of damage and 100% more for each next target. Only two targets is enough to get you 200%, which is more then chain. Yes, chain will hit whenever enemy is present on screen, meaning even if they are behind you or behind the wall, far away. However when mobs are thin and scarce, with pierce you get at least full damage, while with chain you get half. It's hard to say really, but pierce does cost lot less mana, which means litlle for our build but still... Anyway some experiences /experimentation would be very welcome. Comments too. Ty /Gl. Btw you can read whole discussion with OP here http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/528927/page/2/#p4769282 Tl:dr - it's all situational and both attack have their strong points. For now I'm still sticking with chain.

You posted your current gear right? What gear do you think would be perfect for this build?
|
|
" Chain is better for this build simply because you are shock-stacking. More times a target is hit, the more chance of it being shocked (stacking up to three times.) Chain hits multiple targets, multiple times. If you were going a CI/vaalpact pure physical build for SA, then Pierce would be a better choice because of how armor works. Mess with the best, die like the rest.

Hello guy's
I've made this build, currently lvl 74 doin 66+ maps with ease ^^ :D But here is my problem : Every Boss like Brutus - Crypt Boss - Dunes Boss - just reckt me like crazy, never seen that :< Maybe i'm doing something wrong, idk... Here's the gear i'm using :
Spoiler
My dps looks fine with Split Arrow : W/O frenzy charges i'm at 2200 tooltip dps My frenzy dps looks ugly : 4250 w/o frenzy charges... (How to improve that ?) Armor : 3870 with Grace ( I think it's really low ) Clearing area is pretty easy but when it comes to boss fight it's so hard. -Noway- edit: Btw the gems RoA and Conc effect are just for selling when lvl 20 Last edited by fromspaace#5112 on Oct 6, 2013, 11:57:22 AM
