SO my friend has been trying the "tanky build" but the guide dosent really say much about gems. Does he use any reduced mana gems liked with the aruas or anything? Any links to the gear. My friend is very new to this and he needs all the help he can get.

Using a pure phys bow at the moment since I recently converted to this build.

Looking for an ele bow but wanted to know if pure dmg on bow does that much more than phys?

Let's take a 250 dps pure phys bow and a 250 tri ele bow with like only 1/3 of the dps as phys damage.
Does the latter increase my dmg much?

Thanks for an answer!

LA converts 50% of physical to elemental.


Physical Bow 250 DPS

125 Physical + 125 Elemental (LA)
Total of 125 Elemental Damage

Elemental Bow 250 DPS

1/3 Physical x 250 = 83.3
2/3 Elemental x 250 = 166.7

41.65 Physical + [41.65 Elemental (LA) + 166.7 Elemental]
Total of 208.35 Elemental


Now, remember we took Elemental Damage Nodes and have Weapon Elemental Damage on gears? Multiply them on your Elemental Damage.

Some people claims that taking Projectile damage is better. The fact is that its true. But depending your your skill tree, you may not get all the Projectile Damage nodes and take note that most of the Projectile Damage nodes are 6% or 8%. Much smaller percentage than Elemental Damage nodes. Resulting in more skill points used on projectile damage nodes when you could have invested them in Life or other nodes if you went the Elemental Damage nodes way.
