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

" Oh yeah most definitely. My duelist was the second character I ever played. I started with nothing. When I was reaching map level I found an item I sold for 4 ex which I used to buy a nice 5L tri-ele thicket bow, but the rest of my gear (with the exception of a 5L chest I bought on my previous character) was stuff I bought for less than 5 chaos each. Gear is a lot more expensive now than it was then and 5 chaos could get you a much better item back in February than it will now. But still, I think you'll be okay. You will eventually get that good drop that will sell for multiple exalts; it's inevitable. Make sure you're using the culling/MF trick I describe in the main post. The best option is to use a 4L Reaper's Pursuit in your weapon swap. It has built-in culling strike, so I like to use Leap Slam > Blood Magic > IIR > IIQ. Get bosses and rare mobs down to 10% then leap in and finish them off with a massive MF bonus. That is the method I used to obtain my Soul Taker, Shavronne's Wrappings and Thunderfist.

I've been playing for about 3 hours nonstop and I'm at around level 27 at the moment. I leveled to 20 with poison arrow+fire traps and bear traps for bosses.
I found that split arrow + Fork + LGoH provides pretty nice sustain so I can run multiple mana pots until I get blood magic (Chain should eventually be more efficient, but I can see why this build is fun already) At what point should I start running auras? After I get blood magic on frenzy+split arrow? But, overall, I think your guide is pretty awesome! I'm pretty busy with my studies but I think I can progress pretty fast once break comes. EDIT: Oh yeah, do you think there would be a more efficient way to level than this? I'm following these guidelines for grinding " Last edited by eirstryder#7382 on Nov 19, 2013, 10:17:04 PM

Though I would update a little bit.
My currently running 87lvl scion with this build in nemesis league. Works pretty well in my opinion, only downside is that I still haven't accuired second 5link so I'm not currently running life leech with my frenzy. Mostly trying to buy voltaxic rift atm and link that so I can run life leech. (Also thinking about respecing into my previously planned build, power charge on crit split arrow ranger with voltaxic rift but would have to get voltaxic first, will see xD) As mentioned before, I'm having bit of trouble only with map bosses because of no life steal factor in single target. AOE clearing speed is pretty good and haven't had much problems with that. Also I'm currenty running 3 auras. Anger and wrath of course, and third is still pretty open(grace or haste), depends a lot of which kind of map i'm running. If it's easy then haste, if it's hard then grace for more survivability. Current gear if someone cares:

Most likely gonna get Berserking back next. (ended up switching it to duelist dmg nodes) HP: 5,7k Armor: I think ~8k with grace (without like 3k or so(?)) DPS frenzy: 14,5k with frenzy charges DPS split arrow: like 4,3k with frenzy charges, can't remember correctly Feel free to ask anything or comment, thanks! @Squeye

Disappointed with this build so far. Level 68.
I had to grab a couple of large int. nodes to support my current gear.

I can only pull off about 6k DPS with Frenzy (with four charges). Approx 1.4k for Split Arrow. Anyway, my issue isn't with damage. My problem is survivability. I've followed the build, I've got a decent life pool (2.3k-ish), 54% Physical Damage Reduction with Grace, capped resists (except Chaos), and yet I still somehow die on simple maps like Grotto, even when spamming my Split Arrow into large groups. Strongly considering going back to my spectral thrower. No mercy for the weak. No pity for the dying. No tears for the slain.

am i doing something wrong? because this feels weak.
heres my gear almost everything in the game seems to have elemental resists. i went from a soul taker blender build to this and i feel like i made the wrong decision. spent a lot of money on most of my gears (i know theres no proper chest piece, still work in progress) i only get 3k damage with both ele auras with split arrow, and 10k with frenzy, still with all the monster resists its just not working out properly for me. my passive tree: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgQAA4cVIBcdGYoZtBo4Go8brSP2J-0ppSpNLOktgzIJMok1kjrhPC0_J0p9SshN404qVvpX4lnzWkhbr2OnZp5noGwWbEZuqnBycmxyqXfjd-V82X11g9uHdojxjX6QCpBVlWaXBpstplenhKlurFmsqrXytz63trvjvqfAD8AaxKLE9sauytPNmM5x0k3Tft0N3Ubexudj6mLsOO4O73rv8PJF89322vqx-wn8S_xO_MX-Cv6P_ro= Last edited by xEnt#4676 on Nov 20, 2013, 1:03:36 AM

Is anybody else having issues with really pitiful single target damage while leveling? Even with a 200 dps weapon around level 50 my frenzy damage is roughly 1/3 of what my spec throwers double strike was at the same level. It makes it feel borderline non-viable because I'm forced to use life leech on 4 link in order to have some sort of sustain on longer fights, and yet the damage is so pitiful that I'm always slowly falling behind and forced to use tons of tp's.

" Eh, how do you die? I'm level 76 in Nemesis and doing 67-69 maps easy while tanking big groups of mobs. |
