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

I would probably consider going with voidwalker unique boots as they are dirt cheap, you have high uptime on phasing meaning 100% pierce chance which increases dmg based on drillneck quiver, not to mention a huge defensive bonus of 20% projectile avoidance which i really nice as ranged. this also means phasing is not chance based when you kill and grants you ability to go for additional frenzy charge and damage per frenzy through ascendancy. I do realize they do not have any life roll on them but they make up for that in both the offensive and defensive capabilities.

These boots are highly underrated and i am surprised they are not key in all bow builds as they negate any pierce chance in skilltree or on gems.

I did it and works.

Now i have a question:

- How to deal with phys/ele reflect damage? What flasks help with it?

Its been a pain in the ass to deal with it :(

Loving snake bite gloves with this build.. The poison at max charges is great, overall makes the charges stronger.

So is this build actually HC viable with decent clear speed or would it just be a waste of time?

Builds dope, really glad I tried it out, ripped using it a few times in HC but it was mostly player error that got me killed. That being said if you're playing HC i'd either look for more life on the tree or get it in jewels.

The DPS on the tooltip is severely under what it actually is btw to those complaining about low dps.

Up till red maps it's viable, depending on the effort you put in.
With a QotF the clearspeed becomes really great, but I find bosses to be both slow and at times dangerous. I need to look into getting better single target damage.

The biggest problem on HC is that you will have a fairly hard time to reach 5k+ life. With 60% chance to evade and the dodge talents, there is still a lot of spike damage coming your way.

Seeing I really do enjoy this build a ton, I'm currently checking to see if I should push my currency in to move up in maps. Possibly go Coil instead of QotF and redo most of my gear for the lightning res.

edit: Currently playing with a Coil. It feels a lot better on T9+. Next steps would be a second Steel Ring with proper rolls and gloves. Still barely braking 5k life, so it's tense on EHC.

If I can't afford the Doom's Fletch Prism, what should I be using then? Anything I need on the bow? I'm guessing high phys dmg and some AS & phys %?

So question, I have been slowly getting gear up to get life and other stuff, but how is this build with +10 map tier bosses. I have been having so much trouble with them, and was wondering if you had a trick for them.

Hello! I was wondering if at level 80 almost, i should have just ~2600 life, or is it because i skipped some steps in placing points in order to achieve a more aggressive build. I mention that I have >10.000 evasion and 75% resistance (exception: cold 62% and chaos...). Don't actually have a problem with one-shot kill because of immortal call, and the clear speed (using Doomfletch, 6400 DPS, don't know if it's enough, but I don't have any 6 link item yet) it's pretty good, I only have a problem when I'm circled. Also I was wandering if it's a good idea not to use any recommended aura's and use Herald of Ash and Herald of Ice&Hypothermia Support (I think they work together pretty nice).

Also I was wondering what do you think about the flasks. As far as I've been tested them they seem pretty good, I only have sometimes a HP problem, but the increased speed offers me the chance to flee the battle. I use the Witchfire Brew for that Vulnerability curse and evasion, that works pretty nice, and that Overflowing Chalice Sulphur Flask for increased damage. Also I've had a problem with mana while fighting against one strong target, and that mana flask seems to be enough to solve that problem, and also gives me some good charges when used, and that chaos damage doesn't feel that bad.

How are you gaining frenzy charges? with no item that grants frenzy charges. what is the point of getting the frenzy charges when you cant charge them up?
