How are we suppose to keep our dex up in early levels, so that we can use bows?	Posted by Drunkennmonkey on Feb 4, 2013, 9:14:56 PM Quote this Post

Ice shot? (poison arrow doesnt do much dmg) 3) if i'm using frenzy, does it make sense to get the +1 frenzy charge node? or just wait till i find/trade for elemental hit and save that skill point? 1) Fork 2) Ice Shot 3) Well each additional Frenzy Charge gives you +5% attack speed. Generally it is worth it, but not quite if you need to invest more than 1 point in it (unless you are using the Frenzy Charge node to travel across to another part of the tree, in which case it's a bonus). 1 point = 5% attack speed is a good trade. just noticed Ice shot CONVERTS 40% of physical dmg to cold where as burning arrow ADDS +30% fire dmg. and at a cheaper mana cost. So burning arrow seems to be better for boss at low lvl? For frenzy, i will be spending 2 pts because of how the path is: +18% freny duration, then +1 frenzy charges i'm leaning no to 2pts, especially if i'm aiming for Elemental hit?

So what is the better skill set? for single target: elemental hit>burning arrow>ice shot? for aoe: lightning strike>split arrow? and fork or chain?	Posted by rogerkitkit on Feb 4, 2013, 10:34:09 PM Quote this Post
The frenzy is something i have fallen in love with i havn't tried EH but i enjoy a fast attacking bow user more then anything and i got a frenzy gem with 11% quality and i get 7% AS per charge according to the wiki, would 4 points be a good deal for 2 additional frenzy charges or just keep at 3 charges and pick a 4th one up when i do bandits at merciless? i would drop the 2 8% projectile damage nodes the fitness node and the 4% AS node to get these charges and take these if i get more points then what the build have laid out. Im to new at the game to say if this is a good use of points or not.	Posted by Nailroth on Feb 4, 2013, 10:42:09 PM Quote this Post
I personally am using ele hit+ faster attacks+ life leech + ele dmg. Works wonders if you have a good bow and lots of ele dmg mods	Posted by Norwind on Feb 4, 2013, 11:53:55 PM Quote this Post

This way you can get a good amount of dex early on. You can also spec into the +30 Dex node which is near Blood magic and respec out of it later on. At lvl59 I'm sitting at around 300 Dex so bows are no problem anymore ;) " rogerkitkit wrote: So what is the better skill set? for single target: elemental hit>burning arrow>ice shot? for aoe: lightning strike>split arrow? and fork or chain?

So for LA we use Chain + LMP + Faster attacks + fork? is chain+fork good?	Posted by rogerkitkit on Feb 5, 2013, 2:58:27 AM Quote this Post

For LA you should use Chain + LMP + FasterAttacks + Life on Hit / Life Leech as stated in the first post. With Life on Hit you gain more than enough life to spam LA IG: ZereEK	Posted by Zereph on Feb 5, 2013, 5:54:06 AM Quote this Post

(which is great with blood magic)	Posted by Pi314 on Feb 5, 2013, 7:00:59 AM Quote this Post
