[1.1] Davos Seaworth's Elemental Split Arrow Build - Solo every map with ease!

I don't think Davos Seaworth could draw a bow, seeing as the fingers on one of his hands have been maimed

Hey There,

im struggling to increase my dmg, not sure what to upgrade next.. i know i need better rings and amulet. do i need a better bow or is this fine...

is it worth looking at getting lioneye or the new unique bow ?


greatly appreciate your time.

Yeah you definitely need a new bow! The lightning damage is fine but the fire and cold are too low.

Thanks a lot i have managed to sell a few items and get a Voltaxic, its working like a dream.

Given the new changes that will be introduced to Bow Damage and possible the reshuffling of nodes will you be updating this great build ?

thanks

nice guide! I'm loving the combo of chain + split arrow. I'm level 45 and here is my gear.

Rant on.
So you have taken zero bow passives and have used 80% of your points traveling from one end of the tree to the other to get OP keystones that are not meant to be taken together on top of that you are using 4+ auras hmmmm.
This build and those like them are the reason GGG have nerfed the fun out of auras and the passive tree.
Rant off.

On i lighter note,
I find i get better killing speed with split arrow not using chain but fork instead(lvl 21 split arrow is needed though for the extra projectile).Of course if you have no mana leech problems then ofc chain is best i found i had to remove attack speed to leech fast enough even with a 20/20 leech.

Now that anarchy has merged to standard, could you let me know how much a 5l 190+ edps bow would cost? I currently have about 2-3 exalts worth of currency. Could I significantly upgrade my current bow?


Thanks!

What? This build has very effective premise. We are not bow warriors but almost BM elemental casters that deliver damage with bow. "Not meant to be taken together"? Do not make me laugh. One of the strengths of this game and it's fantastic skill tree is that it gives you chance to think outside box and make combos nobody would think of. Perfect example is this build.

Fork is inferior in so many ways comparing to chain that it's not even comparable. Mana problems exist only while you level. Key elements of hits build are BM, SA+chain and very high attack speed. If you take any element out of equation not only that you lose powerful synergy of build but it's not essentially same build any more. It does not work as intended - you would probably be better following some other build then.

250 dps 5L bow was around 5EX last time I've checked.

How this build works out if they change anger&wrath to % auras? :/

i too would like an update asap for 1.0.0

wanting to try this build out on the new ladder.

I would also like feedback on the 1.0.0

I have been trying to think what build I want to start with and this one looks fun.

Will it still be easy with no gear to start?
