Isn't it worth to use 2 extra points to get Iron Grip? I mean, you get plenty of str from being a Bowrauder.

For lions eye yes but for voltaxic, no. This same build with lions would yield about 13 000 LA dps instead of 8500.

Oh, I see. One question, do you not use Lions eye by choice or you simply don't have it? Don't really know how hard is it to obtain lategame uniques.

I dont use lionseye even though its vastly more DPS because voltaxic helps mitigate reflect damage.

this game isnt about cranking out dps numbers, its about creating a well balanced character that can
1)dish out steady dps
2)do 99.9% of maps mods including the combination of [-25 max resist, dual reflect, no regen/half regen, monster damage]
3)be able to consistently progress to level 100 without power leeching like a worthless meatbag

any build that does not soundly meet all 3 criteria can never be considered truly tier 1 and to call it endgame would be a generous statement.

True,but the real thing is watching builds in action.I can't be sure cause i ve only joined ur public once through holyweet,but i have played with most "great" bow players with godly gear various times,and i feel like your character is the best non vaal pact bow player.Gz on that

Very kind of you.

.

Gratz on level 100 !

thanks!

If I'm trying to make such a character in the Domination league, do you think using 1 or 2 "The Taming" rings is a viable option? It's not easy to get acccess to these godly rare rings with 6 great mods. If I let's say have 15 ex budget on rings or stuff.

The taming is a fine option but id honestly go with a high life and resistance ring with as much WED or ele as possible.

something like:
21 wed
70 life
30 resistances
30 resistances

would be much more economical and superior since you wont have access to a legacy koams heart. I would not advocate the taming at any gear level.

Here is the gearset at level 57, most of it was purchased for several chaos but of course this is standard. I have been able to solo through pretty much the entire game without a single death so far(and i intend to keep it this way until at least level 90). Keep in mind even a 1 exalt ele thicket will have almost as much dps as a perfect voltaxic but just lack the reflect mitigation aspect.

Thanks for the build. I have some questions.


-For those who cannot afford Kaoms, would you suggest getting +40 hp from first bandit quest?

-How viable is Rarity build with this specc? Thinking about some rings that have rarity and WED. Or perhaps full rarity aura supporter and full item change when in groups?

-Yes

-it is possible but not the original goal of the build. You could do something like split arrow + mf + culling , ignore all dps nodes, go hard on auras and stack mf to the roof but it would no longer be this build.

I mean with the same skill tree, we just change the gear. I was curious if the build is flexible even we go all of the dps nodes and still survive with magic gear. Since the hp and regen is insane it won't die so easily I suppose.
