Your bow looks like it can handle the situation well until you hit lvl56, that's where you should look for a new bow, and definitely try to get a Thicket bow (as it also has 1.55 base attack speed).


Why lvl56 specifically?

Because Thicket Bow has a default requirement of being lvl56.

ahh.. i got lucky with a highborn bow with incrrased attack speed.
lower lvl and less dex required but almost same attack speed as thicket.

but i guess i need to bite the bullet and get a thicket since i need to upgrade.
wished i could afford a 5L thicket but prices are now in the exalted range :(
You might consider getting a 5 link armor and a 4 link thicket bow with high ele damage instead. Its the cheaper option and imo frenzy does not need more than 3 support gems to be effective.

Also does anyone know if projectile speed increases the hit range of LA or frenzy? after slight testing with 12% vs 48% speed i saw no difference in where the arrows "exploded".

i thought increased projtile speed was mainly valued for Rain of Arrows users?
Simple and quick answer - Projectile Speed is completely useless for this build.

Getting US before IR is terrible!, unless you somehow has no evasion equips. Pretty sure i died because of this on my first char, i was starting to know the game so...was blindly following the RT > BM > US > IR comment, if that is still in the guide you should change it, maybe a little comment can save someone else! cya
I gotta say im loving this build. I have a question maybe someone can help me with before i waste all my currency for nothing. Is this bow worth trying to hit 5l/6l with? Thanks in advance :)

Its a decent bow but 5 link is the most i would attempt for it. If you already have a 5 link or 6 link armor i would suggest leaving it at 4 link because frenzy does not really need more than 3 support gems and +2 bow skills does not provide a meaningful damage boost on lightning arrow as far as i know.

Take both on them if you need it to be capped !! That's really really important. Later on, with end game gear, you may drop them for something else, but only if it doesn't let you under 80% all resist.
