Just did a little bit of testing on my baby Scion with my mapping jewelry and:

Keep in mind I'm level 76 and not a Frenzy build so only run with 4 charges and am missing the Heavy Draw cluster. (No buffs.)

Surprisingly close. And for how much my Windripper cost, I could seriously up my damage and survivability by switching to Doomfletch and spending the drug money on other gear.

Of course, Lioneye's blows them both out of the water but defeats the purpose of a dual-damage type setup. (And being able to play all map mods is a big deal to me.)

I wouldn't necessarily say that Lioneye's will always blow them both out of the water, given how low Lioneye's base crit is. Yeah, not missing is nice, but with the amount of dex a lot of bow crit builds grab, missing is a pretty rare occurrence regardless from what I've seen.

Still, it's nice to see numbers on how it compares to even the mighty Windripper - I didn't expect this build to be THAT strong, but I guess I was wrong :P

@feyith: your damage is not exactly half split elemental/physical. With this frenzy setup the ratio is 2.3:1.

WED brings it a bit closer to half/half in terms of damage gain from Doomfletch, since the unlisted gain is still affected by that 30% more, whereas the listed elemental damage is already affected by that 30%, but you're right - the damage isn't exactly half split, so the extra damage from Doomfletch is less of a factor.

In other news, I remembered that I own a pair of Maligaro's and as soon as I get a placeholder helmet, I'm gonna see how they stack up against Starkonja's.

Edit: Yeah, Mali's plus a decent helm is a lot better than Starkonja's plus phys gloves. I'll make a note of this in the guide soon.

Rat's Nest + attack speed/phys/life/resist gloves. :)

So its possible to do good end game build with this bow?

Does Cloak of Defiance fit into this build at all? With the regen from Doomfletch, would it help with MoM?

Are you guys sure that the flat phys damage is affected by the bow nodes? From the wiki, it looks to me like they do not count:

"When you start adding physical damage from external sources like rings, don't forget that they don't count as 'mace', 'melee', 'bows', etc. for additive mods"

What kind of per-hit damage are you guys getting with Doomfletch?

ehm reduced mana + clarity + grace? That doesnt work anymore (for a looong time).

Currently i am using this bow with:

Lightning Arrow + Pierce + ppad + WED + Critchance + GMP

Frostwall + echo for singletarget.

Gear is far from optimized, started really late this league with ~1hr a day playtime ;P

will add a vaal haste and cwdt immortal call + duration + enfeeble once i got gear that is worth chroming.

Not sure about the heralds. I really like hot/hoi for charge generation, but i consider AA for HoT.
Grace is sweet, too... but ash is also nice for the overkill aoe it gives, makes mapping smother with pierce.

Frenzy + pcoc + assmark + coh is another thing i want :(

Skilltreewise i will go for all the aviable life. Vaal Pact should be required for reflect rares, but i wait till i finished the labs.
