[2.4 Video Guide] Doomfletch Lightning Arrow, Blast Rain Raider [HC/SC]

^^^^ Someone give this man a cookie. It's like going from a Fiat Panda to a Ferrari California. Managed to burst down Malachai's phases in a second, worst part of the fight was dodging all his crap while destroying his immortality machines.

AWESOME! The single target damage was a really big drawback of this build for me, but now it's smooth sailing.

Single Target: Frost Wall + Spell Echo

Spam on top of boss, fire LA into him.

LA + GMP + PPAD + Increased Crit Strikes + WED + Pierce. (Or if Reach of the Council, -GMP +PTL or +ICD)

Get Piercing Shots in tree.

Generate Power Charges with Curse on Hit + Herald of Ice + Assassin's Mark.


Free your mind for smoother gameplay.




Definitely going to give this a shot!

Transitioning my 6L reach to LA+PPAD+CritS+CritM+Wed+Pierce and moving 5 points to to piercing shots (total of 100% pierce?). So basically you don't even use a 6L chest with BR+CritD+Conc+FasterAttacks+PPAD+WED - just Frost wall + spell echo?

Replace Herald of Ash with Herald of Ice and move it into the 4L to replace split arrow and faster attacks?
Excuse me if I sound ignorant, but wouldn't using Herald of Ice over Ash slightly cripple your damage since we're stacking phys?

Also I have no clue how Frost Wall helps with single target, if someone could explain it that would be great.

Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsn2wIKfKu0

Herald of Ice's explosion can spread curses. Herald of Ash's on kill effect just ignites nearby enemies, and cannot spread curses.

If you don't plan on cursing, then use HoA.


Woah, after watching the video and swapping things out a bit, gotta say, I'm not disappointed. Thanks!

Now just to figure out what to do with all my extra sockets.

So i assume you keep the frost wall +spell echo at low lvl and just use it for CC. but since you still only hit 1 target, wouldn't frenzy be better for single target, or is there any specific reason LA is still superior

As it seems if you have several Frost Walls directly at the target your LA is hitting multiple times.

So If you pierce with 5 Arrows through 5 Frost Walls you hit the Frost Wall 25 times and each hit is triggering the second effect of Lightning Arrow to strike nearby Enemys. In that case poor Piety get 25 Lightning Arrow hits every time you shoot....

It only seems to work if the Forstwall is really Close to the Target so the outcome depends on positioning.

One shot might not be enough.

Free up chest sockets:



:P

Or if you want, level a bunch of Empowers or other skill gems in your off slots.


How would you have enough str to equip the Kaoms? I was about to buy one then I remembered those pesky attribute reqs
Hi!

I tear through maps with this Build but I get killed by merc Izaro at Level 80 and have lost the whispering V prophecy 2 times now due to that.

Maybe I am a bit stupid and have tried it with the same Setup as maps.

I am using Herald of Ice to curse with Assassin Mark.

What can I do to survive that fight?

A few ideas i have:

Should i skip Herald of Ice / Assassin Mark for Lab and use Arctic Armour and Selfcast enfeeble instead?

If there are Portals in stage 1/2 should I leave them open? Don't know if it wouldn't increase my Chance as I am using LA, the Flasks will get more charges and my live leach would be bigger with all the mobs from the Portals.

I have the Whispering V Prophecy now the 3rd time. Don't know if I should risk it?
Hey there !
What about chaos resistance in this build ?
