For Crit's sake.

Either go with Stankonja's or invest in a good roll'ed Rat's Nest.

The critchance and life(Stankonja's) are an essential part of my dps atm.


I have been considering starkonjas for a while now, but it doesnt have any resistances, does it?

No res

but 25% crit and decent Life and some AS (to make up for my future Harbinger) :)

I would go for a thicket if I were you, the higher physical damage doesnt make up for the slow attack speed. The localized crit chance is bugged on harbingers as well, so you can get the same crit chance on a thicket anyway.

wait a sec.

Harbringers can go up to 9% Crit and i've seen decent ones with just 0.2 slower AS with 40+ physdmg to start and maxphys is much higher (compared to my 97-207 thicket). If i include that in my equation with all my critchance and multi, DMG before shocks goes way way higher than with my actual thicket that has his standard 5% crit (sitting at 30% chance to crit atm). With said Harbinger I'd go over 55% which is insane :) You'll feel like those crit shadows with daggers, just ranged hrhr.

Sadly, all seem to overpay those bows badly.

But tell me mate, what is bugged about that critrate on Harbingers?

Things are progressing pretty well at level 80.

Why do you prefer Starkonja's over
?

Wish better bows were available but they are hard to come by in Domination right now.

Hey there

I know about Rat's, but I wanted to first get a decent bow and then investing in Rat's, since it's much more affordable compared to a properly rolled crit/phys/IAS bow :)

Also, that I can spec out of BM, I need a 5L bow at least to use BM gem. ATM I got this:


Stark's gives me Life, but as I said, a Rat's still is my goal to reach after I got a decent enough critbow.

If you roll crit on it, it doesn't stack with the crit chance bonus it already has, it replaces it.

I myself have an ilvl 78 harbinger in my stash that I like to throw a few alts on every now and then. :)

But this must be a bug and be fixed soon?

As long as it does not roll implicit AND explicit crit it's fine atm you say?

Oh, did the build changed? Because mine looks like this atm (Level 73 Ranger):

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIBAF4B0QR-BS0FtQguDPIOPBRxFfAY2xmOGdcaVRrbIWAj9iT9LIUwfDH6Mn42PTboOdQ6UjpYPs9AoEGqSn1RR1b6WhpaSFuvYEthIWSjZ6Bqk2_ycFJw1XTtdPF293rvfXV_K4TvhxmHdohrjb-QCpuNnrmgn6Gkpcun1K_rtkG7473mvqfAD8BRxKLKqdJN037UI9UA1e3WitwV3Q3fv-Hb44TnVO2D7g7v8Plj_MX-uv7I

Lacks heavily on damage. And the problem is not enough sockets/links for using BM support gem instead of the passive. I'm still tinkering about what I could do. I actualy like the Build, Crit+LA+Frenzy can be pretty strong. But it may not be the best build if you play selffound and don't have great gear.
