How big of a difference will a 300 pdps bow make? My current bow has 242 pdps and over 300 regular dps. Given that a lot of skill nodes we take boost phys dmg would it boost my dmg by a lot?

My goal is to be able to do Uber Atziri with this build. With good gear and mouse skills a given, would Atziri,s Acquity or a 500+ dps bow be better to accomplish my goal. Of course I understand that neither may be necessary for some people but I am old and slow and need all the help I can get.

Bow. No contest. Especially the Vaals are a huge dps check imo. 400 pdps an 9 crit is enough though to make it reasonably easy, given your other gear is decent enough.
Source: Experience. I'm old and slow, too, have a 411pdps bow and run uber with 4k life.

Thanks for the input. When/if i ever get that bow, I will need to talk with you more.

IS windripper good with this build? it says you are working on a build for windripper but no tree yet. just wondering if there is a big difference in spec?

There is quite a difference gear and treewise. Phys dmg scaling becomes obsolete for the most part and puncture is not really viable as single target attack. Check out mathils guide and flubbys experiment to push ripper as far as possible. Both are in the scion forum i think. Youll get a general idea. I'm really looking forward to your's take tho

Selling my love :-)440 pDPS: 165Ex

i got a question here.... i am using infractum 6 link with drillneck and was wondering if a harbinger build will net me more REAL DPS and if so by how much.... also what kind of harbinger will actually be stronger. thanks! i think thats my first post ever.... hue

Story time! (or, how RNGesus smiled upon me that day)

So I'd been spinning my wheels for a while on upgrades. It largely was based on a bow upgrade. I was using a ~260 pDPS bow, which was solid and cleared content well enough, but wasn't what I was gunning for.

I had a couple decent drops over the past couple weeks as well as lower level currencies built up. I had my sights on a 300+ pDPS bow, and to finally get an item with 5 links (been running TS and Puncture both 4L).

I find a bow I really like (320-ish pDPS) at 10 ex, sitting on 4 at the time. Make a few currency swaps and get to 6. Confirm with the seller that it was still available. I'm spamming the trade channel with the better of the drops I had, hoping for a sale or two to get the required exalts for the sale. It starts out slow, but over the course of an hour or so, I end up selling both of the bigger ticket items I had available. I now have enough exalts, with a couple to spare! I message the guy back: *This user is not online* D'OH!

So I figure I'll hit him up later on, but given the time of day I was on, I worry that he's in another time zone (UK or Aussie or NZ perhaps). Add him to the friends list and go about some mapping. I have a couple of Harbs lvl 77+ sitting in my stash I'll throw Alts at on occasion to see if anything exciting pops up. So while I'm waiting to see if this guy will sign back on, toss a couple of Alts, and BAM, Tyrannical Harbinger, no other mods! Close my eyes, pray to RNGesus, and toss a Regal at it. +1 Bow skills. Not amazing, but it's a prefix, meaning I can craft Flat Phys, AS, and Crit Chance.



It may not be elite, but a 321 pDPS Harbinger that I self-found / crafted was pretty damn exciting. Not to mention coming in much cheaper than the 10 exalted that I was about to pay for a very similar bow.
