Probably a noob question but can someone please explain to me why we no longer go for iron grip?

I want to know that too!

Iron Grip increases "Physical Damage" which seems to be an issue when you have mediocre gear. It seems you would need an insanely good bow for Iron Grip to be worth it.

I could be wrong though..



Side note, do I go with the tank-ish build, or pure dps build? What's the dps loss like if I go the tank route?

If you don't mind me asking, but could you please look at the thread I made? I can't copy paste it here for some reason.

I don't have it in my current build, but I've been eying it suspiciously because I have a pathetically tiny amount of physical damage. It just doesn't seem like it can contribute that much, even with 400+ strength.

this is a really dumb question that i cant seem to figure out but why pick the intelligence nodes if you use BM?

i am new to this game and still learning, sorry if the answer is obvious which i am sure that it is lol

I guess the main reason to pick the int nodes is cause it is the fastest/only way to get to the other nodes you are interested in, like static blows.
They also allow you to equip higher level versions of int gems.

Static blows needs nerf or they need to make another option for ele rangers (sweet one)

Y a sweeter option for elerangers ?

In PoE i like most that you can use the whole skilltree, but for sure it takes longer for a melee / rangeclass to get to those casternodes - thats what makes poe a unique h&s rpg ;)

quick question, should we lvl all 3 auras to max ?

well you still could just take a added Lightning Damage Support with Quality for the shock chance (Quality adds % Shock Chance on Hit) instead of static blows.

Thanks for the build Petrov! I decided to roll some form of ele bow character after chancing this bad boy
Should be ok for a little while :)
This is my second character and I am enjoying it much more than my first, Im only in the 40s but good balance of DPS and survivability you can get with this build is really great.

Im trying to decide between elemental hit and frenzy as Im about to get to the bandits. I dont have elemental hit yet and Frenzy has been really great so far but with all the + elemental damage in this build I would think elemental hit would have a large advantage over Frenzy.
Is this the case or are they relatively comparable?
