Why Windripper is still so expensive?

Windripper reigning pretty supreme right here

Flubby could've gotten/made whatever physical harbinger he wanted - he went with Windripper for a reason. (and put some serious work into getting +1 arrows on his personal one)


I don't play bows, but it's a damn nice one to go with if that's your thing.

Just curious here,

What's the potential dps of a 30ex physical harbinger with tornado shot ? (life-based and if possible low life)

Lower than windriper's. Much much lower and don't listen to anyone that says differently...Mirrored bows have more dps and that's about it

That's what I thought. I mean it's seriously obious that a 1.7 aps bow with 10% crit would be OP with heralds/auras.

- it's "cheap" in new leagues (i got 99% one for 14ex)
- u need shavronne chest for the auras ;)

You don't need shavronne's for auras.

Windripper is a good alternative if you can't afford crazy dps Harbingers. With the same budget (30~40ex) Windripper is the way to go.

Windripper and Chin Sol are really cheap (compared with a mirrored Harb) and both got an insane damage.

love the rarity quantity on it. Played the whole rampage with it on ele crit life, 40k Ts it's not so shitty ...

^This.

And Mathil has a good build for it too (without the +1 arrows and empowers): http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/870140

I've built mine a little differently (bit more defensive) and still haven't felt the need for more dps.

Those who think their 35ex phys harbingers are superior haven't tried ele crit tornado shot with Windripper (only bow, IMO, that'd work for an ele crit bow build as thickets are meh crit chance).

Auras were nerfed but Herald's came along. Crazy attack speed, 10% crit, here you go.

In 1.3 Voltaxic will be the bow of bows.
