[0.9.13] Kripparrian's Bow Templar Build

is this build still viable in OB or no?

anybody have any suggestion about light bow templar skill build up to open beta?

I am also interested on hearing from Krippers as to what he would change now that OB is out. The shock chance has been removed from LA so perhaps additional shock chance nodes. I am also concerned that we won't be able to run quite as many auras simultaneously.

Just for fun (oh and because a OB LA Bowplar should prolly be in a new thread (or change the threadtitle if possible) - I messed around with the above FA Bowplar ^^

This would be the result

EDIT: Changed some nodes in the linked build

Nice guide!

My biggest concern is mana. You pointed out that you blood magic is core to bow builds - does this alone make the build unviable?

They buffed the hell out of LA mana cost, maybe it isn't for LA anymore . . . I replied in your thread since you asked.

the build still work in OB?

Hi guys, new to the game and I am trying to dissect this thread and this build.


What skill gems should I be using?
I know lightning arrow is one, are all the others just auras?

Thanks

Hi! Just wondering why so many strength nodes on Kripps build? As far as I know strength only applies to melee damage. Is it just for the extra life?

I'm using this build at level 45 in cruel at the moment (with some small tweaks, such as going for increased lightning damage nodes close to Celestial Walker before entering the Trolls Blood area). Running Anger, Discipline, and Wrath, I can still use LA (with chain and elemental weapon damage) as my default attack. Not even close to optimal gearing for my level atm, but the basic idea behind the build seems to work out even in OB (although due to low manareg I have to chug mana potions like a train, chug chug!).

Most likely there are stronger bowbuilds out there, I wouldn't know. But as far as I can tell this seems to work out great at the moment, guess I'll see how it works out for real once I start creeping up on merciless.
