[3.2] No changes | Railway Bow - Slayer Edition | Shaper/U Atziri/U Lab Viable |
Leveling this guy right now as my first pure bow build. This is my third league and my first league really going outside my comfort zone with builds. I started with a Jugg RF that I theorycrafted, thinking it was going to be a ridiculous meme, but then Dan and Ziz decided to kill uber elder with a similar build and it lost its novelty. I've since retired it to only running uber lab.
I leveled a wander as a bow and it was painful as hell but I loved blink arrow so much I decided to look for a pure bow build. Seriously, blink arrow is fucking DOPE. I'm 56 right now and so far this build is an absolute blast. I'm chiming in to offer a few leveling tips. LEVELING TIPS - Don't do this as a starter unless you're all of the following: a) not new. b) very confident. c) very dedicated. d) a masochist. - Get elreon jewelry and equip it as early as possible. The -cost to skills can be equipped as low as lvl 8. - Keep the elreon ring on until you hit 30. Then equip Thief's Torment. It's so freaking OP it's ridiculous. I facetanked Innocence's beam at level 35 with 1k health and barrage on a 4L. - Use Ice Shot until 38 when you get GMP. Tornado shot without GMP feels awful. - Unique quivers are crazy useful while leveling. Use Asphyxia's Wrath the entire time you're using ice shot. - Since I assume this is not your first character, pick up the following bows and at least four link them. 1: Silverbranch 5: Quill Rain 18: Roth's Reach 28: Doomfletch 32: Death's Harp 44: Death's Opus 53: Infractem 62: Chin Sol - The 100% MORE stacks with point blank! 66: Lioneye's Glare - final bow. 6L it. Obviously. All of those bows go for less than 1c each after week two of a league except Death's Opus. I think it's still about 5c right now. I got lucky with the prophecy; if you don't have the cash for Opus, check out Silverbough or look for a rare bow with 150-200pdps. edit: also, Victario's Acuity is amazing. Frenzy and power charge sustain almost 100% of the time while moving through the story, 30% total additional damage, lightning res, and dex and int for 1c.
