[3.9/3.10] HowTo Lightning Arrow Slayer - Cold or Lightning Stacking
" I just checked it in PoB with my single target skill (Blast Rain, quality only grants increased area here). All support gems are equal important and the only gem that offered more dps with quality was Blood Rage. The attack speed gain is really big. Herald of Ice gave a bit less damage than the support gems. You can play around with it by yourself pretty easy btw. Just import your character into PoB and change the levels in the skills section. You dont really have to change anything else to get an idea of the impact of each change. tldr: Blood Rage > single target support gems > [Barrage if you play it] > Herald of Ice " TBH i dont like it on bow chars. For Melee builds its nice but you dont stack as much hp on your other gear if youre playing bow. In addition you loose a good slot with possible crit multi and elemental damage. You can definitely play it as a cheap starter but i would suggest you to use a rare amulet later on. [GER] - IGN: HowToHarvest Última edição por trudikampfschaf#6983 em 27 de jul de 2018 04:21:07

hi,
thanks for the guide, trying second bow character (am not that good at bow so trying it out:). seems bit squishy on damage, may be am doing something wrong. extra support from range totem was good. Clear was good but somehow felt squishy compared to other arc starter builds. Stopped at Kitava since died several times (this is my basic build test).

" Hmm gear and skilltree look solid and the life on hit is enough. maybe get another body armor, boots and other gloves for some more hp. [GER] - IGN: HowToHarvest Última edição por trudikampfschaf#6983 em 20 de ago de 2018 15:56:05

Well, this was worst league start I've ever had. Leveling was really hard, bows are too expencive in the beggining of the leauge, and build have too few life nodes, so without good gear I'm not able to farm even t1 maps without dying once or twice per map. Not saying this is a bad build, just not a good league starter. With a good amount of currency invested this could be a really nice build to push delves.

" Hmm, im sorry to hear, that you had such an experience. Did you use Rain of Arrows for leveling? For me it was a piece of cake. I leveled with a friend and he traded me some additional items but it should still be good without. If you have really bad luck try your luck and use an essence or alch on a white bow. Gl hf for that rest of the league. [GER] - IGN: HowToHarvest Última edição por trudikampfschaf#6983 em 1 de set de 2018 11:40:37

I'm a new player (lvl 46) following your build and I have some questions :
Why does the build take a lot of cold damage in the passive tree if you use lightning arrow ? When should I switch from RoA to lightning arrow ? I'm feeling really weak during the levelling, is there anything I'm doing wrong ? https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Naabi57 Thanks ! |

" The cold damage is because of Hatred and your Herald of Ice. In addition to that you convert some physical damage to cold (esp from your single target attack). Last league i switched to LA when reaching maps. Its important to level a LA gem in your second gear slot! Otherwise you have to start at 1. Try to get a bow with more physical damage. You scale physical damage and convert it to lightning with LA. Sth like this: http://poe.trade/search/asitatonokaren Sort by physical damage.

Hm just checking, Culling strike is gone now right? figure it would kill the overkill leech anyways if it was still there.
|
|
" The 20% cull is still available. The only thing, that got removed was the stun immunity. As far as i know the overkill can still apply. If the monster has 21% hp and you deal 50% of his max hp with the next hit you overkill it and still leech. This should happen alot when clearing maps. [GER] - IGN: HowToHarvest

" Yeah just noticed I can't read, lol. was looking for the words cull, but says "kill enemies instantly at 20% lol" so blind... and yeah only really messed up overkill hp from bosses. but moot point for them really. Última edição por ValheruWolf#4573 em 15 de set de 2018 05:34:46
