" cocomoloco wrote: So in your "recommended" PoB you have Immolate for both Barrage and Ice Shot. I have a feeling however that because Immolate requires at least two hits for Immolate to do anything, something like Unbound Ailments might be better? For Barrage it's obv a no brainer if you do 1 barrage attack with 10 arrows and crit, immolate will work on the first attack for the 9 remaining arrows after the first arrow. for ice shot, its a bit worse but we have also a lot of hits. i felt it was worth it and highly recommend using immolate unless ele focus provides more damage for you due to GG flat dmg jewels.

The Ice Shot cone! Duh....Oh well. I knew BA was shit, I Just had to see how bad it was in action :P I'll still keep the helm as it is still fairly decent for the price I paid even without the use of its special mod. So, for pob calculation of poisons applied recently do we just multiply the number of arrows by aps by 4? Or does the chain/cone actually apply a poison as well? Trying to get a better idea of the mechanics. Also, is +1 Maloney's still bis on a reasonable budget? Obviously gg shaper quivers are but I'm not spending 20ex+ for one xD How much blind on hit do you suggest to have in total? I have one 4 prop dual fire dmg life and 3% chance to blind on hit. Should I go up to 6% or more? Sorry for the rambling. Thanks in advance. xD yes, number of arrowsattack speed4= # of poisons applied recently. this is the maximum dps after attacking for 4 seconds straight. chains/cones are also hits and can apply additional poisons. thats why ice shot is so good. maloney's +1 is a very good quiver. try to get 5-6% chance to poison. no need to get more. 3% might lack a bit, especially if you use the effigon.

Hi, I'm going to try this build for 3.2, but I've never played bow or poison builds before and have a rather simple/stupid question.. how does attacking work? Like when will you use barrage vs ice shot? Thanks!	Posted by troika101 on Mar 29, 2018, 4:22:08 AM Quote this Post
Bit of a PSA about the expensive version of this build: The rings are REALLY important and they're a pain in the ass to get. You want a lot of Life Gain on both your rings, you want Poacher's mark and, ideally, you also want a bit of mana gain on one of those bad boys. THEN, you also want life and resistances. That shit isn't easy.	Posted by vdk89 on Mar 29, 2018, 10:45:35 AM Quote this Post

Hey :) Thx for your answer. I have Another question. Is it possible to Play with Belly of the Beast instead of clock of defiance? And take life notes instead of the mana notes? Regards	Posted by Weylin102 on Mar 29, 2018, 6:45:16 PM Quote this Post
So the fire jewel's are actually insane prices now where the lightning are more affordable. Would you just replace Immolate with Added Lightning?	Posted by Goatdemon on Mar 29, 2018, 8:45:15 PM Quote this Post
