Tyr's **0.11.1** Pure Elemental Bow Spec

Im 49 and using this bow at the moment with mostly LA/WED/Culling/Faster projectiles and loving it!
I have Anger and Wrath and my LA says 750 DPS, My ice shot is rarely used at this point with Ice/WED/LMP/Culling @ 700 dps.

My question is will picking up a deaths harp benefit undiluted Lightning Arrow much or is it more to help out with Chained Ice shot? I noticed in the OP you mentioned using a different bow with LA. With the increased AOE on LA I don't feel a need to use an AOE supported skill very often just yet.

And thanks for the build, having a lot of fun! Cept with oak -.- that dude hurts so i hid in corners slowly plucking away at him ^_^

Hey for the guys using Death's Harp, how does + weapon elemental damage and Arcing blows help us? Death's harp is pure physical damage. Do those passives boost the base lightning component of Lightning arrow?

I might be off, but I believe the primary benefit of Death's Harp comes from the free second arrow. All of the +elemental damage and %increased elemental damage that we're going for is applied twice through Death's Harp. Imagine your attack will do weapon damage + 500 elemental damage. We can use a stronger bow to increase the weapon damage a bit, maybe 1-200 damage, or we can use Death's Harp for less weapon damage but a second arrow which will take full effect of the +500 elemental damage. A secondary benefit that I've found is that even on single targets (where you'd certainly get more potential damage from a stronger bow) it is much easier to run, attack, run, while trying to dodge projectiles because you have two arrows that can land, instead of the typical one which might miss while trying to get your attack in quickly.

My current gear/set up. Question, why is most of you skipping totem? XD. I think its op lol. care too elaborate? anyone? (I know i still need too get a 4 slot helm for a solo dps.)

I'm not gonna lie, I had my doubts about this build. However, after getting Chain AND Death's Harp, this game has become ridiculously easy. The only problems I'm having now are finding a helm with comparable resists and high hp targets like those stones in Fellshrine.
I feel like I owe Tyr an apology for even trying to doubt him. QQ

I wanted to share this vid I made today that showcases a secondary useage of Ice Shot + Chain. We cannot afford to spam Ice Shot continuously while we level. Regardless of level, having an ice shot chain bot fire away while you blast the hell out of everything with your heavy dps is very very effective.

Ice Shot Chain Bot has no mana. Ice Shot Chain Bot has no feelings. Ice Shot Chain Bot never sleeps.

Just watched, the vid. Does the Ice shot/chain totem also shoot 2 arrows (the effect of the Deaths Harp)?

Also, if you're not using chain on your main attack (LA), wouldn't it be more efficient to not use the Death's Harp? I thought the purpose of getting the Harp was to essentially amplify the Chain effect.

Yes!

No! Dont use chain on your heavy dps link.

Yes! Eventually Ice Shot + chain will become so strong that it wont matter &
everything.
will.
die.

^This.
I have chain linked to Ice Shot and for big groups, everything fucking dies. Soul Siphon and my horrendous mana regen makes mana almost not an issue. For single targets and high hp targets, I use BA + Faster Projectiles + Faster Attacks + Life Leech. Life Leech, Rejuvenation Totem, and Flasks make you out-sustain everything that doesn't 1-shot you. I think I have about 1.3k DPS on BA + the ignite makes it pretty easy. You could always use Fire Trap or Bear Trap if you need more passive DPS.

Hello there,

just wanted to point out few things here,
Im newbie, but trying my best, so I thought that I will copy that build cos I believe its worth it and I love high dps ! Im lv 38 right now, following nodes step by step, but - I wanted to try something out and I did: Lightning Arrow + Weapon Ele Dmg + Lesser Projectile Multipler + Fork. And I have just one result for that - pure awesomeness. If there is more creeps than 4, Lightning Arrow can take them down with one shot in most cases. But if there is just one mob, rare, or sth stronger I have a problem and it has to be at least 3+ shots. Could you recommend me what to do on 2nd skill? Just to single target dps and how to support that? Plus, how do you killing bosses? I have problems with them too. I decoy them, but its often one shoted. Any suggestions? Once I seen some kind of totem + summon skeletons, but I dont know how to do that, what spells is it... could you help me please?

cheers and thatnks for that build, it is rly awesome.

Haha, carried myself to merciless and surprised how bad my defence is. With all those "need to bump up my damage" completely forgot about defence". Died ~8 times at medicine chest (freeze+1 hit = dead).
Need to buy new defence gear.
