Hey, I had the same idea but I have a very different skill tree in mind. Chieftain skilltree

Chieftain gives us a lot more synergy with the build imo then elementalist, and we have a load of survivability and hp. (238% more health and quite some strength)
My problem is that I don't have a lot of experience with arrow builds, and I don't know how the damage will turn out. Due to being BM we can't run auras (Maybe except for Herald of Ash which would be great for the build, but 12.5% less life hurts). I don't know if we can somehow sustain the mana cost without BM, but I think not.

For the offense we have 350% more fire damage, 35% ignite chance and 15% fire penetration on the tree and 60% increased damage against burning enemies. We also have 1% lifeleech.

The problems are that we don't have dex, almost no attackspeed and no accuracy. We could skip the scion life node cluster and invest the points into Versatility and Precision, which both give accuracy and dex, maybe helping with our stat problem.

For the links I thought about something like Burning Arrow - Fire Pen - GMP - Weapon Elemental Damage as core, and then we have a lot of options: Chain/Pierce for AoE clear if necessary, PPAD/Added Fire/Faster Attacks/Faster Projectiles for more damage, I have no clue which gem would be the best. We could even take Elemental Focus as an option against ignite-immune enemies, although it would require a recolor.

There are a multitude of uniques that would be very useful for us (Devoto's, the new amulet, and so on) but I didn't really delve to far into it yet.

I'm curious to hear your opinion about it :)


This is exactly what I'm doing in BHC and its working great. Currently 16k GMP tooltip with frenzies up, melts almost everything instantly. I have yet to get my Kaom's Heart and the xoph amulet, but I did get really lucky linking the bow :D

Skilltree I am using is focused on life regen/max endurance charges to make the char as tanky as possible for tough content. Gonna have around 8K life and 7-9 endurance charges up, huge lifereg + leech and still good DPS.



And here's my current gear:

The helmet enchant is really good, goes up to +30% from merc lab.
Oh yeah, and I'm using a fluid motion jewel near templar, though with enough dex on gear it is certainly possible to skip it.
