[2.1] Nalaa's Phys Lightning arrow | 5L 30k dps
When looking for a bow do I aim for high physical damage and let lightning arrow give lightning damage or am I aiming for a bow with 3 elements on it. I'm assuming its the elemental damage but just want to confirm before buying a bow.

" Any, the one with the most damage. However, you might want to look for ones with very high base damage, doesnt need to be fast. Shock stacks work in a way that the higher your damage, the longer it shocks for. So having a shit weapon that attacks fast wotn allow u to shockstack. Ign: Kiaraa, Kionn , Nalaa

I wouldnt say its 100% its really up to them what they want. 40 health is very good (will end up giving around 120-180 health). 1 skill point may give you 8-12% health, maybe that will give u roughly 60-100 health. The difference is very marginal BUT getting a skillpoint will allow any changes in the future.
For example, what if they reduce all the mobs damage, you really dont need as much hp anymore. Or what if they buffed a skill and you want it. Having 1 skillpoint will allow flexibility if you dont plan to reroll. Its personal preference. I chose the skillpoint, i do regret it, not much though, and only for now. I dont know about the future :) Ign: Kiaraa, Kionn , Nalaa

Do you mind making 4 skill trees, each with different amounts of total points used, so I can have a better idea of which routes to take on nodes while leveling?
Like one @ 30 skill pts, one @ 50, etc etc | |
I am confused that you say to use a high physical damage bow and elemental stats don't matter on it. If I equip a higher damage bow without good elemental stats my damage on elemental hit and lightning arrow go down a lot because all my passive modifiers don't help much anymore.
Obviously it is because of the shock mechanic as you say ... but can you explain how shock actually works and what it does? And since it only works for Lightning Arrow and not for Elemental hit shouldn't I still go for a high Elemental Bow? Also how useful is the +duration on shock that you get with a quality LA gem? Since I just looted a 19% one. |

Hey there me again, I am set in stone on using this build as you said it is probably the best and most min-max build for rangers at the moment! However I am a complete noob and only level 12 at the moment. I have lightning arrow right now should I be using it? It is only level 1 and the damage is terrible for the mana cost. Should I keep using it so I can level it up? I have poison arrow, ice shot, and burning arrow. Which one should I be using?

" I wouldnt say duration is THAT important. Your weapon should just be as high damage as possible. DPS does matter though, u just need to balance it out, high damage with decent attack speed. For example, now im thinking my lightning arrow damage is too low, so right now im taking away Chain in my sockets because it will reduce my static shock duration. Elemental stats DO matter, to make it simple, just find the highest dps bow. Ign: Kiaraa, Kionn , Nalaa
