[0.10.4b] Bow Marauder (The Shocker (tm)) [**TO BE UPDATED SOON 1.0.0**]
" First, definitely took the "northern" route to Blood Magic to grab the +30 dex skill. Levelling up, I was only slightly constrained by DEX in regards to moving up to higher-DPS bows, but really it wasn't a big issue - I usually simply hadn't found a better bow yet. Couple times I wanted to Alch a white bow that I found (but needed more dex to use), but there's no guarantee and glad I didn't do it. At one point I found this 5-L bow with decent damage: Annoying thing was about an hour later found an unlinked 5 with huge DPS increase - it was about 80-100 dps on Fire Arrow better, even though had to drop to a 3-L chest for FA. I constantly think about Chaos'ing the 5-L bow to see if I can get it better... but havent done it yet. Should I? Here's where I am right now, close to re-speccing out of Iron Grip and go north up into the templar area and grab those +ED nodes. I'll be able to post numbers comparing Iron Grip to this tomorrow. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEAAecFLRQgGS4n7Si1MgkyfjboOlJAoEZpTeNQR1BQVElWBFcNWGNYr18_YEtgiGFSah5uqnKpdO1253gNeu982YZghymMz57NpzCoGKlurFmsqrXyud3G2NIh2WHfv-dS7w7vTvIv8932SP6P |

One thing to keep in mind when looking at the other bow is that if you have significant fixed elemental damage coming form your jewelery/quiver/gloves, the attack speed makes a huge difference.
I ended up using a level 11 bow that did 5-14 physical damage, 5-10 cold, 1-25 light damage bow until I was level 40 just because it had the 1.55 attack speed. I had the mana to get buy using rapid fire smaller attacks, and there is a long period where all the bows only have 1.1-1.35 attack speed. It was pretty ridiculous because I could find a bow, that if I just compared bow to bow, was like 3x the dps of my bow, but I was getting so much fixed elemental damage from elsewhere they would still wind up with like 10% lower dps. I basically didn't upgrade my bow until I got "lucky" transmuting a grove bow. Lucky is in quotes because i just ended up with 13-26 fire damage and a stupid +acc mod, but it was still an upgrade :/ My bow makes me sad lol. Luckily my gloves are dual elemental damage with IAS and let me function. |

So this is what I got so far:
Was wondering if I put a support gem in the last slot that isnt link it wouldnt apply to my LA right? From what I understand the "physical" dmg of the bow doesnt make a difference since we are only concerned w the elemental dmg. If I could get some critique on these items that would be nice as well =) Thanks to all you folks that has responded to my posts and esp V for making such a helpful guide Last edited by Norwind#1191 on Jan 31, 2013, 3:31:59 PM

doing night revising of tree i found one thing that concerns me.
in "Life Circle" on our way to IR, we take 2x of 0.4 life regen. so, my thoughts about it - it seems to be kinda prodigally to invest points in it. #discuss |

Those 0.4% regen passives are awful. You get almost the same amount of regen by just taking an 8% life passive, assuming you have 3-4% regen already.

" If you are following the tree, your dps should be ok. Items have a MUCH bigger affect at this point. Do you have alot of +fire/cold/lightning damage and +elemental damage? Maybe post your tree? FYI, I just re-specced out of Iron Grip into the Templar node, and here's results AT THIS POINT (level 47): Iron Grip DPS (Flame Arrow): 690.5 New DPS (Flame Arrow): 714 That's with a high Physical bow currently. Current build: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgEBAecFLRQgGS4aOCftKLUyCTKJNug6UkCgRmlQR1BQVElWBFcNV-JYY1ivWfNfP2BLYIhhUmoecql07Xbnd-V673zZhmCHKYzPkFWezacwp4SoGKyqud3AGsbY0iHZYd-_51LsOO8O707yL_Pd9kg= |

" If Im not mistaken, the accuracy gem isnt doing anything for you since its not linked to an active skill? |
