Quill rain + Element hit

Was wondering if element hit would be strong with quill rain or does it need the dmg mods from bows was thinking of putting on elemental equilibrium too

Quill Rain builds really want to use skills that are not as dependent on the weapon's damage to get their damage done. For example, Explosive Arrow. If Poison Arrow stacked (it doesn't), it would also be a shoe-in.

Quill rain halves ALL weapon based damage which means that it would halve all Elemental Hit damage out of the gate. The only gems that aren't affected by Quill Rain right now are explosive arrow and Poison Arrow. Poison Arrow doesn't stack so it loses the advantage of Quill Rain's insane attack speed which leaves Explosive Arrow as the only viable Quill Rain build right now.

The other replies are correct.

Quillrain is good with builds where:

* The damage is totally removed from bow and weapon-damage.
* Damage doesn't matter: Blind, EE, Flee, LGoH
* Low level where you face roll anyway

Builds:
* Leveling up (1-20) - Machine gun fun
* (Spork OR EK) + Kaom's - Before you get a good staff, gives 4-6L with Projectile Speed
* Explosive Arrow
* Summoner + Kaom's - Proc EE, Blind, etc

It's bad because of the 50% drawback, which makes it effective like a normal shortbow.
3.11 APS means high spell cost for no damage.

This doesn't work out.
