Maybe because "bow"	Posted by soul4hdwn on Dec 21, 2013, 8:05:38 PM Quote this Post
" LimitedRooster wrote: Physical Projectile Attack Damage, the DoT clusters, the innate Harbinger Bow affix, and the all-in (but hardly absolutely necessary) Avatar of Fire finally bring this skill to a good place. The analog of Melee Physical Damage was crucial; thanks for doing that. The only complaint I have left is the DoT Entropy is pretty much in a dead zone of the tree when it comes to archery... though I might be overly negative considering the wacky new DoT mechanics. It's a weird, strange day when I look at a 6% fire damage point as a possibly good investment. In such regards (AoF + Blackgleam), better get some general node rather than DoT clusters (Holy Fire or Entropy), since burning will be scaled from the initial hit and the 'increased' part is just additive with any other 'increased' affix coming from the initial hit. At least, that's how i understand ignite mechanics regarding damage calculcations. Edit : nvm, i was wrong about what i said above, the original hit is considered a new 'base damage' for ignite calculations, meaning it's a different source contrary to what i thought.

Get a Harbinger Bow with dual physical prefix + fire or triple physical. Projectile Weakness/Flammability, Phys Proj Damage, Added Fire, Fire Penetration, Life Leech, Weapon Elemental Damage. With high enough life leech% on gear, you can replace the Life Leech with Faster Attacks or Increased Critical Damage. Take all the bow damage and critical multiplier in the ranger area. Ignite Chance is rubbish, getting big meaty periodic crits every four seconds that translates into decent steady burns is the gate. A total of 143% of the best of your puny shots, or 143% of a 4x crit added as damage over four seconds. Think about it mans. Only a Templar Avatar of Fire guy shouldn't use critical% with this skill. He can get ignite into a thicker place with Fire% instead. Last edited by LimitedRooster on May 21, 2014, 12:01:53 PM	Posted by LimitedRooster on May 21, 2014, 10:45:11 AM Quote this Post

Curses are great until curse-immune foe spawns.

Half of skills: Useless without several specific support gems. A couple of skills: Deals one thousand times more damage per second than these skills at their peaks, in the right builds.	Posted by Red_Frostraven on Aug 23, 2014, 6:00:00 AM Quote this Post

Burning Arrow is a lot less specialised than it used to be, now that it actually comes with 50% damage conversion.	Posted by Incompetent on Aug 24, 2014, 10:00:43 PM Quote this Post
