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

" xEnt wrote: 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= Not taking Static Blows isn't an option if you want to do good dps with this build IGN: EmpathicAmoeba Last edited by DavosTheOnionKnight#4564 on Nov 22, 2013, 9:06:55 PM	Posted by DavosTheOnionKnight#4564 on Nov 22, 2013, 9:06:25 PM Quote this Post

An 8% life node yielded higher total life for me than PotW, and the 12% physical damage it provides is negligible since roughly 95% of this build's damage is elemental.

You have to put points in life% to get life, obviously. 8 nodes and you would get 86% bonus on your base life. 2,3k life is nowhere near decent-ish, aim for 5k+ If you put all your points into damage and aura nodes, then you will obviously not have much survivability.

I just crafted this bow so I think I'm gonna give this build a shot. Should be a lot of fun.	Posted by z0ne#4388 on Nov 23, 2013, 12:02:55 AM Quote this Post
Thanks for this build! Duelists and Shadows are definitely my favourite class and I was hoping to make a bow-based character to destroy maps with in HC. I haven't played since Open Beta so this helps a lot! Probably gonna start playing again by the end of the month once I get my new computer. Looking forward to it :) Last edited by Ratchint#0676 on Nov 23, 2013, 4:43:41 AM	Posted by Ratchint#0676 on Nov 23, 2013, 4:43:11 AM Quote this Post

Davos, when should I start running auras? Is there a general level to run auras around or just wait until I get to maps? Last edited by eirstryder#7382 on Nov 23, 2013, 11:41:49 AM	Posted by eirstryder#7382 on Nov 23, 2013, 11:41:28 AM Quote this Post

" Empiire wrote: 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: Spoiler Build: Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgAAAnEDlgSzFE0VIBZvFx0XLxmFGYoZtBo4Go8dFCSqJLAn7SmlKk0s6TKJNZI26TrhOyg8LT8nSn1KyE3jTipVxlfiWfNaGlpSYENmnmegZ71qk2wWbj1uqm-ecql35XzZgKSDCYPbhtGHdojxjX6PRpAKkFWbLZtdm6GbtaIAplenhKiarFmsqrXytkG3Pre2vqfAD8AawzrE9sauykrK082YznHPZdDQ0k3V7d0N42rnY-pi7Djub_Af8kXyl_Pd9tr6sfrS-wn8S_zF_gr-jw== 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! Little update to my previous post, I ended up changing the build a lot. Bought alpha's howl and couple other items to be capped with resist and specced out of Charisma since I don't feel it's worth it. Well it's maybe worth it if you want another aura but for me, wasting like 8 points for nothing than some stat points and one more aura. So with alpha's howl and soveirgnity with reduced mana nodes I'm able to run wrath, anger and haste.

Now I'm completely broke and most likely gonna farm some more currency and spec into power charge on crit, split arrow ranger.
