Marauder - [0.10.4b] Bow Marauder (The Shocker (tm)) [**TO BE UPDATED SOON 1.0.0**] - Forum

still struggling how to link LA and ice shot my major concern is LA with a 4L now i am thinking LMP, Chain, Fork, elemental damage, life on hit with LMP + chain/fork there will be so less damage as they decrease damage by % should i go LMP ele, loh?

Exactly. At the early point in the game Chain will mostly just hurt you, and I lately noticed Split Arrow works considerably better without Chain/Fork (early game). LA LMP WeleD LoH is indeed the ideal 4L combination. Add Faster Attacks or Chain next, then finish with whichever you delayed, once you achieve 6L. Life is tough... but it is tougher if you're stupid.	Posted by VenatorPoE on Feb 6, 2013, 12:45:51 PM Quote this Post
Just curious, would elemental proliferation on LA work well with this build?	Posted by Desnok on Feb 6, 2013, 12:46:12 PM Quote this Post

If you want to add EProliferation, you lose Faster Attacks. I value the extra attack speed more. Life is tough... but it is tougher if you're stupid.

No. For AoE you can pick between: Lightning Arrow, Split Shot, Ice Shot (even Frenzy or Elemental Hit) For single target you can pick between: Frenzy, Elemental Hit, Ice Shot So whatever you like; pursue it. One guy a few posts back said he doesn't like Split Arrow because of the aiming mechanism, so he's not using it. If you want to min/max with definite favourites than yes, LA and EH win. Ahh okay. Thank you for clearing that up for me.	Posted by Scadrial on Feb 6, 2013, 2:22:19 PM Quote this Post
Could someone please explain to me why Elemental damage is stronger than going Physical damage? I was under the impression that when a skill says "50% damage to fire", boosted elemental damage only applies to the 50%, but boosted physical damage still applies to the full 100%.

I see... so the combination of all those mods could feasibly surpass the physical damage you're getting from your bow? Is that the only point where elemental damage multipliers becomes better than physical multipliers? I haven't played too long, but it sounds difficult to get that many elemental damage mods.

Does this build work with a templar too? My marauder is meele lvl 55 dont wana play the same class twice. And the templar seems to start right next to all that sweet + damage nodes and can reach all the important nods at least as fast as a marauder.
