I don't get why Rigwald Quills has that 14+ex price on the league atm.
I have Hyrri's Demise and it provides me huge flat cold damage boost together with some fire/lightning flat damage, IAS and att (I have perfect roll on all mods).
Can we somehow calculate the difference and impact of Rigwald Quills quiver on our TS/Barrage dps?

AFAIK TS doesn't have exact Fork property but has close mechanic inside the skill itself. Does that mean that Fork property will add 2 projectiles after first arrow explosion? Because it doesn't interfere with the TS description as I understood (if I got it right, ofc).
Would be nice to add the mechanic explanation to the first post.

What is better in terms of Windripper overall TS/Barrage dps: native 24% ele increased dps or double corrupted flat ele dmg (cold/lightning or some hybrid with IAS/skill support)?
WR has something like 260-265 top-end native dps and double corruption adds it up to 350-370dps, sounds astonishing for me.

Devoto gives MS boost and chaos res as priority stats (I don't count IAS as Rat nest and Starkonja both has IAS) but we lose tonnage of hp comparison to Starkonja or we lose bunch of crit chance and little of IIR comparison to Rat's Nest.
So what's best for T14+ mapping from your point of view? IMO it's Starkonja for life pool and most eva.
Or high-rolled 2AS Lightpoacher.

Also I think we have to change QotF for 1AS Shroud for T14+ maps in terms of dps.
Yes, we will lose our movespeed potential but at least we will have dozens of bonus HP/MP and reasonable dps for high-tier maps.

Also I consider changing TS GMP to LMP once I get +2 arrows from quiver and bow.
Will that add huge boost to dps or should I leave TS GMP alone?

Thanks for future replies.
And don't be dic#s, everyone was a newbie in the past.

TS have 2 phase, first phase is firing arrows but dont deal any damage or hit, thus it cant fork, second phase: arrows in first phase explode into 3 arrows and those arrows deal damage and hit so it can fork. Let do some math
Without rigwald's quill: 5 (arrows from first phase using GMP) * 3 (arrows in second phase)=15 arrows
With rigwald's quill: 5*3*2(in case all of the arrows hit their target)=30 arrows
As you can see, rigwald's quill boosts your clear speed alot and it's rare (can only be obtained through div cards) so that's the reason why it's expensive. You can still use LA with Hyrri's demise, it's much faster than TS without rigwald but TS with rigwald is faster LA with Hyrri's demise imo.
I dont farm anything than burial chambers so I dont sure about T14+ but here's my thought: using chin sol for insane DPS (100% more, lul) but it can be risky because you have to be in melee range, a full set of abyssal gear is what you need for melting-bosses-experience.
And your main source for single target is barrage, so using GMP/LMP only effects your clearing speed.

good build, but dont work without 100ex.

I dont think so tho. I start this build with a 5L QoTF (bought 1 for 5c, 5L it myself), using torment's thief as an alternative for 2 ventor, bisco's leash for 5c (Using poe live search and pm around 20ppl), sadima's touch for 1c, goldwyrms 15c, devoto 1c, hyrri's demise 30c, amulet is a resist and stat filter and then turn into a shaped amulet ith 7 IIQ for 50c, using jewels as resist and stat filter, using the tempest and then buy windripper for 2.5 ex and then 5L it. And after that I farm 50 burial chambers maps everyday or when I have time and most of my gears are self-linking and farming currency to buy it. It's not cheap to begin with but it doesnt need 100ex to work (luck, you need luck, lots of it).

TS enchant boosts your clear speed
Barrage enchant boosts your single target damage
imo buy it after HH because you might switch your helmet for different purposes.

Do I need Ice bite support in my 5 Link to trigger the Quantity of my Windripper?

I only got a 5-Link so far and I don't know what gem i can leave out without hurting the Quantity

Thanks!

you can use Ice bite instead of added cold damage if you have enough dps to clear packs fast, if no then keep using added cold damage. Also, if you are farming Burial chambers maps, then imo ice bite is enough in term of dps because tier 3 monsters are not that hard to kill with crappy gear. But still, prior your clear speed.

If I'm using the recommended LA gem link (with Pierce) instead of TS because I have a +2 LA target Lightpoacher, do I want Fast and Deadly instead of Ricochet?

stick with Ricochet, it's an OP node and LA isnt that great without chain

LOL !

Not sure if this was in the guide somewhere or if someone has already asked but is there an alternative to using TS? Not really a fan of the skill itself. I like being able to use an arrow skill and see it go off screen compared to TS stopping where you put your cursor (yes i know the secondary projectiles go off screen)


Update 2 hours later... just kidding I found it lol

So you're saying to drop Pierce support for something else then, since pierce always takes priority over chain?

Hey all - quick question - I got a crazy Watcher's Eye to drop with double hatred stats... can I swap out wrath for hatred? or is there a specific reason to use Wrath?

in the level 93 deadeye skill tree why are there 5 points in the Claw cluster on the right side ???????? ? ? ? ?? ?

Because Lioneye's Fall is socketed right below them, which turns them into bow nodes.

Nope, pierc helps you clear the pack, chain helps you kill the remaining monster in the pack or you can switch pierce for a dps gem to try it out, after all it's more like personal preference. I prefer pierce and ricochet to ricochet itself
