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

Skill tree is the same as urs

Still have to gather AR+ES gear since getting 2+ green sockets on them it's pretty hard... anyway how can you have 2.5k hp without losing dps or es?

Hello,

I'm currently this far in the passive tree, one point away from making a full circle:

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYABAcFOg5ID6sRDxGWFr8Z1x4aHwImlSj6KlstHzZ7NsVGcUyzUzVVS2HibRltbG17b55wUnK7f8aEr4fbiGuMNpUgm7Wio6cItUjAUcHzwzrFzMpKy0HSGdbR2CTjhOd06-7z6v-T

Do I need to start refunding points now, before I link it, or can I still refund those points once I made the full circle?

I wasn't entirely sure what you meant.

Also, would this bow even work for this build?:

You won't be able to refund the points in question until you link it.

Okay, thanks!

Tried this build until lv 47, a total glass canon and damage output lackluster at best. Switched to Petrovs ranger elemental build, like night and day... awesome dps and amazing survivability.

Nice constructive post. I'm level 61 and destroying everything with ease.

Tyr, have you experimented with Life leech or life on hit on the undiluted LA? I don't have access to a 5l or 6l at the moment. But shouldn't that be able to take care of some of our survivability problems? Not that i have many after i took care of my resistances...

Also, I'm really on the fence of removing the blast radius nodes next to Ice/Lightning Walker. I just don't feel they add as much as some other nodes would. There are some easy access health nodes, and as we all know by now, health is king. I feel i could also trim away the 2 dex nodes + deep thoughts just south of the start and further gain some health nodes or venture further into the templar start earlier, but i fear that might restrict my at the moment pretty free use of auras (running anger, wrath and discipline). Well, just some late night rambling of my current thoughts. Any comments would be appreciated.

Yep! Life Gain on Hit is what I would go for. Piercing dual LA hit alotlot of targets at once.

I did a nasty fking 91% overgrown shrine map. Enfeeble, Varied Monsters...erm 97% additional fire dmg to me... Be forewarned: the varied monster mod SUCKS FACE. At least that combo of Rhoas, Blackguard elites with 99% ele resist, those flicker gemling zombie things, the damnable gemling alchemist? that THROW CHAOS GRENADES that will 1 shot you then melt a portal for good measure.... etc. I was proud to clear the first 2 floors.... mein gott it was difficult.

Life Gain probably was a good idea. It would have been impossible without Ice Shot Totem. That and a spectre, and you bet your ass it was the chaos grenadier I was raising. Next time I see one on a map that hard ill just rejuv totem to keep it happy and cast vuln and run around. Granted im lvl 65. I should prolly lvl but the drops are amazing for generating alts/jewelers/fusings.

Drop blast radius if you feel the need. The mechanics have changed since I initially made this build. I will stand by its effectiveness, but not at the cost of Static Blows or needed HP or Inner Force etc.

customized, tankier version of the build I'm currently using

I decided to skip over the witch damage nodes and just take the short way around the middle, saving about 2 points in the process (just counting the route-nodes).
For mana, I'm using mana leech support gems for now. I kinda just want to see where this build leads me, and when I'm left unsatisfied, I'm going to respec what I need to respec.

My question now is, where do I go from here?

Should I invest 2 points into the shadow shock node?
Should I directly go for crit? (I can reach a lot of crit nodes from here)
Maybe even go for one or even two accuracy nodes in/near the templar tree? (I could reach both with 4 points investment)

I'd just like to know what you guys think about this bow... I have a DH as well but this adds 300 dps on paper. What do you think? At what point, if ever, do we swap out the DH?

Thx for the ranged attack totem tip Tyr
I couldnt even get past the first quest in merciless yesterday

Now, thanks to ranged totem+ice shot+faster attack, just finished soloing Brutus :D

Spectre and Raise zombie were also very usefull as a meat shield
