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

Hey,

first of all, thanks for the brilliant guide. I instantly fell in love with it when I first read this. I started to collect some gear like a week ago and began to raise this shadow two days ago. I'm currently Lv 39 End Act 1 Cruel and I destroy s**t. This Spec is destruction in its' pure form. I wanted to share my Gear/Stats with you and wanted to know (especially from the Master Tyr himself) if there's anything what could need an improvement:

Gear:


Flasks:


Burning Arrow DPS buffed: 1008x2
Ice Shot DPS buffed: 357x2

HP: 1006
ES: 125
Armor: Nope.
Evasion: 36% Chance
Fire Res: 68%
Cold Res: 7% :(
Ligh. Res: 40%
Chaos Res: -20%

I have the distinct impression that I could run into some defensive issues later on, don't really know if I could simply outdamage it. That's why I'm not letting go from two AllRes rings. Not sure if I should though. Didn't die a single time yet and I'm very proud of it. :)

Anyways I would appreciate some feedback! Keep the good work up Elemental Bow Shadow Community! :)

Ice Shot + Ranged Attack Totem + Chain + Increased Crit Chance is essential.

Im currently using Elemental Proliferation instead of Increased Crit Chance. Which do you prefer? I haven't tried out Increased Crit Chance yet.

Honestly, you have good +lightning on all your gear and that gear will take you a long way. Ideally you want +Lightning on all your gear that can roll it. I would continue going the way you are while keeping the mindset that you can outdps the need for defense. When you notice everything isnt dying to your satisfaction, take the time to figure out why and fixit. Using totems and spectres make life much easier. Im not saying to spec into the skill tree to make them better (raise spectre might be worth a test) but a fire breathing hellmonkey can be quite useful.

Ice Shot Totem Bot 2.0 has done fine with both. Ele Prolif is quite good. I LOVE when shocked and frozen and burning dmg procs from ISTB crits so I havent tested ele prolif in a while.

2.0 is ISTB in a 5L lol. I added faster attacks for now. Much to play with & test still.

Tyranthal so did u actually started doing some maps? Im sure everyone would like to see some videos of that...

Heh not yet. Im staying 65 to keep the Lunaris farming fertile and bountiful. Reaping the orb harvest till I get stacks of fun orbs to buy expensive items with. I still want Wakes! Maybe Maligaros even tho they nerfed the fun out of those gloves :( At the very least I need armor + es gloves/boots/helm.

My level & mf combined with the monster lvl of lunaris is producing what I refer to as a honeyhole, a sweet spot. You will find them from time to time as you level. DONT CHANGE A THING if you see lotsa rares and orbs flying around. MF is weirdweird sometimes.

Ive gotten 4 maps to drop in a3 so far.

Also, Ive been wireframing concepts for a website that will be dedicated to establishing a community for crafting & gear & dps farming in PoE. I want our ideas & experiences to be presented in a more organized, accessible manner. I havent even touched on best practices for crafting as this space is too limited. Additionally, I want to reach out to other classes who want to farm but are confused on how to do so.

If anyone knows of any good hosting options, please PM me!

Karui doesn't add anything, really. The projectile speed is nice but you'll get more DPS from an ammy with elemental damage on it. Also, Blackgleam is only an acceptable substitute until you can get a Quiver with elemental damage on it. We're not spec'd for physical damage so although you get a boost from the conversion, it's nearly minimal.
For me, this quiver provided a more significant boost to DPS than Blackgleam. Also note that I have 5-links on my chestpiece.



EDIT: Also about the mana thing, if you can get 5-links on bow/chest, don't be afraid to throw Mana Leech on it. I'm at like, 50+ mana per cast on Ice Shot and I'm reliant on Power Siphon in groups. One Ice Shot at 56 Mana kills like 3+ mobs per group, that's already a net gain in mana. For small groups I just use BA. I naturally regen more than the cost of BA.

Thanks for the tip, ill be looking out for some new items
And how about HP?
Are we supposed to be rly squishy or will lvl 60+ passives take care of that? (asides from Divine toughness)

I've been following this build pretty straight and head on. So far I'm loving it and the only issue I have is being squishy despite the fact that I have 2K HP and 900 ES lol. My resists are subpar but mages don't bother me. Mostly melee and I can just kite but after switching one of my HP pots to a Run Speed Pot, that's solved a lot of issues.

None the less, Just wanted to see what you would think of my build so far. I still need some tweaking to do.





Trying to get my bows to 5 Link but that is proving to be very difficult lol. I swear I've gone through at least 100+ Links. Same with my Armor.

On a side note, I'm finding the Infractem Bow to be pretty powerful. Even if it's just a single arrow or if I use Lesser Projectiles, it'll pretty much rip through anything. Was curious if I should just sell my Death Harp's or keep it.
