Tyr's **0.11.1** Pure Elemental Bow Spec
" I was debating even sharing this info right now because ppl that are confused will spontaneously combust upon reading. Anyways... I traded for a It adds 55-83 chaos damage PER SHOT PER ARROW! The added chaos damage works for Raise Specter... Im assuming it works for all other summons as well. A summoner's dps wet dream if all minions get free chaos dmg every single hit. I'm tweaking my tree to remove all mana related nodes. Might get the cannot be life leeched or sin trek. This is getting rather far away from the core shadow info so Ill cut it off now. Just wanted to explain why this crazy armor is being linked :P Also, Im still relying on Ranged Attack Totem for Ice Shot. Right now testing Rejuv instead etc etc ____________________________________twitch.tv/tyranthal Last edited by Tyranthal#5459 on Feb 10, 2013, 2:06:40 AM

Hi there. So I've been following your build since my second roll. I'm currently wondering how to push my DPS up considerably. Note that I'm working my damndest to get a 5 link chest piece working. I've thrown 30 odd fusings and chromatics but it hasn't come out yet.
Here is my current build and questions following. I'm getting about 1100+ damage on the iceshot in chain and up to about 1800 on my lightning arrow which basically has 60% increased attack speed from the gloves and gem. IS there any magical combination which will push me to e.g. 3k dps? Perhaps when i can move my lightning arrow to a 5 link combo on the chest? Do you perhaps have any recommendations? Also one thing which has been annoying me a bit but when it comes to ring specifications. In my mind stats such as "30% increased weapon elemental damage" sounds op like it would add hundreds of dps. However, though I haven't had the pleasure of working with high percentile modifiers on my jewellery, flat numbers like the 1-34 seem to work best. What should I really be aiming for? I've had the quiver for the longest time... why is it so hard to find a good one lol. One question about accuracy as well. Without many accuracy modifiers I find myself around the 68%-70% accuracy. This seems to me pretty bad! Is this normal for other players? I stuck accuracy mod onto my 5 link and was possibly intending to when i got my second 5 link for lightning arrow as it brings the hit chance to 82%+ and with quality it has the added crit chance. Is this really holding back my DPS? 'Cause without faster attacks, a string of repeated misses, I find, is pretty infuriating...and that happens a lot at 68%. (I also realise the chain combo needs it somewhat less due to 100% chaining ratio but I've just been limited by gear sockets atm) |

" While additional accuracy is good, it is redundant when linked with chain as it hits 100% of the time. Replace that third green socket in your bows 5L with a blue socket and use Increased Crit Chance or, use it in a ranged attack totem with elemental proliferation. Projectile Weakness drops a targets evasion, which evens out the 70% accuracy. 70% was what my CB shadow ended with fyi, so while not desirable it is expected. Check out how I linked Lightning Arrow into my DH. I posted it a few back. This is still an extremely powerful combo when used with Proj Weakness. Cursed enemies have 100% chance to be pierced by both arrows & that alot of aoe gutting a large group. Get Static Blows if you do not have it. I believe your elemental damage % increased has reached a point where more flat lightning damage will yield a higher return. Wakes are a great test of this dps % increase. Take em off and see what % dps decreased from your attacks. I dont have wakes yet, but in the past they gave me btwn 1800 to 2k dps for LA at endgame. Quivers are a PAIN IN THE ASS to find and make. Dont even look at the level requirement, it is not in any way indicative of how useful it will be to you. Good ones are linked sparsely in trade & the ones in the trade forums spike quickly. I paid 3 chaos & 2 alchs for these yesterday: . I'm stacking crit more now that I can use Ice Shot freely. ____________________________________twitch.tv/tyranthal

Hehe, it's interesting that you traded for the Covenant, I found it as a drop and found this thread a week ago when I started figuring out how to use it, and a variant of your elemental bow shadow was where I landed... I focus mostly on fire and some on cold though
I'm still not high enough level for Covenant yet though... my plan is to also get pain attunement into the build, for a hybrid bow/caster char, using auras to keep my life under 35%... probably not the most effective ever, but should be fun I think:) This is about how I will build him in the end: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYAD6seGipbUzVVS2HibWxte4w2pLG1SNIZ1tHljud0_5Pr7sXMBTqErzZ7y0Fyu4fbFr_z6nBS62OZmrb3ES-IaxnX44QOSBGWf8YnqVptJDynXElR7BiP-nvX2-dHBqKjwfNtGS0fTLMEBx8CNsXYJKcIuJMMfRB_xp4y0UVHtQRdxkbX7SDhc4uM3fNgbZ2AgzjvfBRNogAEswJxMol35VfinC2HZTbY8WzsVYgb74WdrhJpFxxxeQL-34TxdiaVNj3ed19q Designer of The Broken Crown Designer of The Sigil Divination Card https://www.reddit.com/user/ThisIsABuff/ Last edited by cryptc#4526 on Feb 11, 2013, 3:55:23 AM

Although come to think of it, I probably should use this quiver I found instead:

I've spent some time (72lv) with this build now and while the farming capabilities are great (6~ min per docks run), I've encountered problems with running maps.
Basically, after clearing 7 maps my experience counter is exactly where it was before I started :) I'm currently sitting at 1900 hp with 75% fire/light/cold resists in mostly evasion gear. Still, the physical damage can finish me off in 2-3 hits tops, the stupidly broken bleed effect from Impalers cannot be outhealed even by potion with +100% recovery time + rejunev totem, etc. So how do you progress from this point? I don't think my dps is an issue (about ~2700 tooltip dps w/ single target nuke ice shot, ~500 dps w/ chained gmp lightning arrow, before projectile weakness + death's harp). Gear
