[2.0.0] maxBo's SplitArrow/Frenzy Guide (new lvl77 Shrine Vid, HC Viable))

At the ones who propose to use the Aura Nodes....Your build tree lacks of about ~100% Life Increase!!!! Keep that in Mind plz

Also your screenshot of your defense is awesome! 10k armor and 23k evasion? how? :O

My current gear with this build is as follows:

looks good ...how you doin?

Your boots need improvement! Get some Tri resis, health boots so you can add life on your rings and Amulet...


Quiver lacks of DMG (crit, critdmg)

Hey there,
was planning similar build to yours, but with vaal pact, some aura and mana nodes to be able run MoM and maybe AA aswell.
Ended up with 115 points

But anyway 115 points are most likely impossible to reach for causal player like me.

I pick vaal pact 'cause you don't need to care much about reflect. I was playing CoC quill rain EK and reflect was insane. And I'm not sure if MoM + AA would help against reflect to keep me alive... But anyway way to vaal pact is about 13 points that's alot.
Can you gimme some advice? :)

for bandits you said kill all/get the life
my question is: why not take the 18% phys damage from oak?

currently level 40 and having trouble with my attributes, my str and int is very low and i need more to use some gems, any tips?

sry but thats all a question of gear! You can also spec into the str/int(30) nodes

*** PUBLIC SERVICE REMINDER FOR THOSE USING ARC OR CAST WHEN DAMAGE TAKEN: The order you link your gems in matters. If you link CoC-Arc-EK it will cast the Arc first and shock stack, making your EK do more damage. If you do CoC-EK-Arc, it doesn't. This is also true of Cast When Damage Taken-Enduring Cry-Immortal Call. Enduring Cry first buffs Immortal Call. Immortal Call first is useless. (Since so many people are posting their gear and gem setups.) You need to go clockwise on 4-links. You're welcome. :)

Auras and flask mashing. :)


I keep trying to get more life nodes, but I seem to survive better if I just freeze things and avoid getting hit. (I do EK + Cold Snap + Power Charge on Crit. Procs pretty much every hit.)

I've been meaning to ask why you do Faster Attacks instead of Power Charges (+250% crit) or a second utility spell?

It should be a Aura/Physical Bow Ranger with CoC/EK as DPS Buff.
Its just around 170%HP, but its a Softcore build.

Any thoughts on that?

Iron Grip and that last Aura cluster are really expensive to travel to. You could spend those points on more life, crit, damage, evasion and/or ES nodes around the Shadow and Ranger trees instead. Otherwise the build works great and is a lot of fun. :)

I think you are right my crit chance may be too low. I will change to a normal build then. Can you or anyone else tell me the default split arrow/frenzy gem setup so i can use that for the time being? Or if there is another setup that is better?

Isn't puncture a single target attack? Did you mean i replace frenzy with that?

Try swapping Puncture in place of Frenzy if you do high physical damage. Frenzy is mostly just for the charges to increase your CoC attack speed. For groups, I would try something like Lightning Arrow + LMP and your favorite supports.

Personal preference, I guess, if you absolutely need the passive points? Otherwise you're right. Cruel Oak is a great way to boost base bow and EK damage. And Merc Alira is good too for the Power Charge. No other skill nodes gives +50% global crit.

Hey guys, rolling with CoC EK too here.

Kinda got a question ringing in my head for a while.

Why no one uses Added Fire for this link ? It benefits both SA and EK and add huge amount of ele dmg. I kinda get that PCoC is insanly good with this build, but sustained DPS would raise with Added Fire.

Edit: sorry if this topic was already discussed, just wrote a quickie.

Mhm, yeah i thought that too. I am not sure about Iron Grip and Unweavering.

Do you think is a lot better to skip IG/Unweavering and go for the Bow Clusters?

I am level 57 atm and kill very fast with just SA+BM+FA+LL. Well i got a good bow for that level too:
