Just died to merciless Vaal Raaaaaaaah

Spoiler

Honeslty I don't know what I could have done about it. I was 6 levels above the boss , all my resists were capped , I had 3K life , 3,2K armor...

I just took a rock + a laser and I was done


I think this build lacks HP for hardcore play , because otherwise I don't see what else I could have done , my gear had already set me back at least 2 exalted for the whole thing if not 3 and all my pieces except the weapon had 50+ HP on it :/

Other than that , it's a good build , but maybe not 100% secure for hardcore

Projectile dmg nodes also adds you elemental dmg?

Why does he picks Iron Reflexes? hes a marauder so u can just go for armor gear. or am i missing something?

I think the main reason for this is using grace. Once you have Iron reflexes it adds a ton of damage reduction, it also gives you flexibility in gear choice.

There are two ways to build, one for which physical matters (generally not the build discussed in this thread), and one where all that matters is elemental and you want to stack as much flat elemental damage on all your equipment as you can.


It is possible to do this build focusing on Physical damage and iron grip, since LA converts half your Pdam to Litdam, but you would want a different passive build than what is focused on here, and would probably be better off with a ranger/crit build since there aren't very many nodes near the mara start that would boost your bow Pdam.

The damage elemental hit adds to your attack is a flat amount that is independent of your actual damage. Of course, it does benefit more from +ele effects, so it is probably better in an elemental focused build. For a Pdam focused build I think Burning arrow might be better as it does scale with Pdam, but it might not be even then since Elemental hit does add just a ridiculous amount of flat damage.

What's the advantage to running a Bow Marauder versus a Bow Ranger? Is the Marauder just tankier?

Venator, is this build really gear dependent?

I would love to try this build but I am worried that I will have to farm forever to even get decent gear to get started.

Yah I have the same question about static blows, is it a must? does it increases dps by a lot?
