Shadow - Tyr's **0.11.1** Pure Elemental Bow Spec - Forum

Love the build so far. I do it a little different as I am going kind of coldfire as well so I can turn Ice Shot into a delicious wtf of elemental hell. Currently got my DH, Wake, Chain, WED. Need Culling Strike tho. What Gem would you suggest getting to +20% first?

When you reach a point of overabundance of DPS from your gear, which will inevitably be awesome cause this is a farm spec, everything will die before it hits the ground. Let me share a secret.... Ice Shot was only linked to WED 20% and Chain 20% IIR and IIQ. Yep, in alllll the CB videos Ice Shot was effectively a 3 link. Why? Cause it was overfkingpowered. Imagine what Ice Shot/Lightning Arrow + WED + Culling Strike + Increased Crits + Faster Projectiles is like. !! No content could contain it. Nerfing it intentionally was what I did for farming purposes. But I always play like that in every game that gives me the option. Keep along this path & you will see for yourself. I still dont have Chain in OB. I did pick up Fork & have been using Burning Arrow + Pierce + WED to good effect. I have been using Ice Shot with life gain on hit to excellent effect. Dont forget Rejuv totem! It makes your life much easier. Deaths Harp is more important than Chain. I mentioned this IDK like 15 thousand views ago (last month) but this build was developed and thriving before Chain was even released in the game. It makes a solid build a wrecking ball. That cleared up a lot of questions. I guess my last question would be whether physical damage and projectile damage actually influence DPS. Like, if it came down to a choice between Added Cold Damage or Faster Projectiles, which would be the better alternative? If you're reading this, I'm probably on another year-long ban. Thanks GGG.

Thanks for the insight, i'm currently using EA + LMP as my aoe and Ice Shot + Faster Projectiles + WED as my single target, been doing okay-ish so far. I thought Chain would be more important but i guess i'll trade for a DH and Wake first i guess. Thanks, loving the build!	Posted by teozxs#4115 on Jan 29, 2013, 3:40:46 AM Quote this Post
I'm currently running a build like this and I'm wondering what skills/supports you'd run around level 40. I managed to get a death's harp but the rest of my gear is pretty lacking and soul siphon can't sustain my mana alone, does this get better with a quiver with mana on kill or do I need to seek other items with it?

At what lvl would you keep your Lightning Arrow gem at? /T IGN: Azatooth or Xploding	Posted by thrilled#5100 on Jan 29, 2013, 5:19:52 AM Quote this Post
Is the build on the first page updated?	Posted by SuperBedur#7253 on Jan 29, 2013, 11:11:59 AM Quote this Post
one question, mathematically speaking, why not take +x% physical damage, since it applies before any skill converts a part of physical to elemental? or do you have high element dmg on the gear?	Posted by x0pht#5723 on Jan 29, 2013, 11:53:05 AM Quote this Post

Currently got my DH, Wake, Chain, WED. Need Culling Strike tho. What Gem would you suggest getting to +20% first? Excellent question. Culling is an odd support as both atk speed and damage both go up as you level the support and increase the quality. I would get culling to a point % wise that puts it into the faster attack category. WED gets a total of 10% increased dmg from quality. I would get it to around 5% then work on culling. WED used to be stronger, culling might get higher returns. Grats on acquiring the checklist so quickly! What are the values on Wake? " x0pht wrote: one question, mathematically speaking, why not take +x% physical damage, since it applies before any skill converts a part of physical to elemental? or do you have high element dmg on the gear? Because it will only be modifying around 112 phys dmg from the bow. And this entire build is built around not getting any phys nodes because there are no skills to spare.

EA on the other hand will likely need to be halted as it gets expensive. If a skill is too expensive for you do not feel compelled to keep leveling it. ____________________________________twitch.tv/tyranthal Last edited by Tyranthal#5459 on Jan 29, 2013, 12:26:59 PM	Posted by Tyranthal#5459 on Jan 29, 2013, 12:15:56 PM Quote this Post
For single target use an attack without any diluted damage. Meaning, no LMP or GMP or Fork or Chain. My chr is lvl 38 & removing Fork from Burning Arrow + Pierce + WED increased dps by about 100. ____________________________________twitch.tv/tyranthal	Posted by Tyranthal#5459 on Jan 29, 2013, 12:43:03 PM Quote this Post
