[2.1] Nalaa's Phys Lightning arrow | 5L 30k dps

I wonder how the build will look after patch since the are moving Berserkering closer to the Duelist... Something tells me it won't be reachable anymore. 15% attack speed is a big hit to take. Specially when it's 1 point extra (since we take Unwavering Stance anyway).

yeah i wanna see how the new builds get around this new patch. That 15% attack speed is very important

thanks Nalaa for a great build.

One request is that I'd love to know what to look for in terms of gear.

I mean, sure, having a 5L or 6L bow and armor... but with what mods?

e.g. often I see people selling good level 50+ bows on the auction channel, but they vary quite a bit in stats. The biggest thing I've noticed is that some have massive physical damage, others have the same total amount of damage listed, but it's split between phys/lightning/fire/cold damage.

The skill desc for LA says that 50% of the phys is converted to lightning... but it's not clear to me how that works with all the various mods.
Also, with the damage conversion, I understand that any lightning damage on the bow will make a diff, but does that mean that cold/fire damage are "useless" to this build?
-> I'm assuming this is why the gear choice is for Wrath over Hatred (but why not Hatred over Anger? I thought the enemy slowing effect would be more desirable, but I'm a noob at this...)
So, I understand what you are saying about having the attack speed as high as possible, but what should we be looking for on the bow in terms of mods?

Ditto with helms, armor, amulets rings etc. +Life, I know, +resists, yes... but what about all the other stuff? Which is better on gloves, Increased attack speed or added damage (for example)? What sort of base belt is best - one which adds 5% physical (Rustic sash)? or one which gives +40 life?

Also... about skill gems: I would really appreciate your opinion on which gems are worth getting +Quality on (and are therefore worth investing my hard earned GCP into).
e.g. +quality on chain only adds projectile speed... which is pretty much irrelevant for this build. So completely not necessary.
however, on LMP, it adds attack speed... which is very nice. So I'm thinking that I want a LMP +Q but am not going to bother with +Q on my chain.
But what about life leech (adds more leech), LGoH (gives more life), Frenzy (makes the frenzy atk spd boost bigger), Weapon Ele Damage (makes the ele dmg boost *even* bigger)...

sorry if this has already been answered :)

And even though I've addressed the questions to Nalaa, of course everyone's opinion will be valued by me.


thanks!!

Yeah, I have been taking screen shots of my builds don't wanna get refunded and make a mistake. But anyway, I assume new Berserking location won't be attainable so now we have to look where else to get that DPS lost.... 15% for 1 point is just too much damage loss... this sucks.

EDIT: To guy above me, Hatred is % based so that is why it is not used in this build. You don't want to reserve 30% of your life do you? Other auras are number based so they end up costing very little.

As for equipment, besides resist and life, you should get elemental damage and attack speed wherever possible! I was fortunate to find a Gold Ring with 6% attack speed and elemental damage plus cold damage. Any elemental damage is good, though lightning is best. Don't bother with physical damage belts because our damage comes from elemental damage (due to auras and keystones).

What would you think of this as an alternate?

Dont like it very much tbh.

A few reasons.

First of all you try to get the 2 x diamond skin talents for an extra 30% all resist, but you spend a lot of extra points to gain those talents.

You only need 151 intelligence to max wrath and summon skeletons.

Your dex is a bit to low imho. Yes you can get enough dex from quiver + amulet to equip the best bows, but you are dependant on using only quivers and amulets with these modifiers, which basically means if you find a great quiver / amulet with another starting stat its no good for your build.

You dont take perfect aim and the talents surrounding it you loose 31% projectile damage which is a lot tbh.

The only thing you really gain in this build is 1,5% extra regen and inner force, but you use way more points than the original build. just adding inner force to the original build, would make it far superior than your build. Sorry :(

Why so mean?!?! Lol no need to be sorry. I'm just starting out so your input is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

With the Berserkering Keynote moving inside the Duelist territory, we will all surely get a point refund. I am thinking on how to spec now that I will have all points returned and don't need to rush to "Resolute Technique" like I had to when leveling up (and no longer need it because of the unique bow I obtained). I am contemplating not adding points to Savant or to the left-most strength branch, instead, take a shorter route up to Static Blows which will give me the Int needed and free points left...

anyway, Nalaa's proposed build for those with Lionseye's bow is as follow (bottom of page 36):

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIBAdECcQSzCC4MfQ6tEH8R2xRNFHUVIBmOGjga2x0UJP0n7SmlKk0s6TIJMn4yiTWSNug26TnUOlI64TwtPs8_J0ZpSn1N407IUUdVxlYEVvpX4livWfNbPV-qYVJjp2ZPZp5noGe9bPZuqm_yc-F0QXdid-V4DXq4gUmC5IZgh3aI8Yqvj0aQEZBVm42boZ_LoJ-iAKJAplenCKeEqW6sWayqrpOv67I4tfK3PriTvebAGsHYxBXEosT2xp7Grs9l0EfQ0NN-1QDdDd1G37_jaudU52PsOO2D7g7ub_JF8930-PeI-WP60vxO_MX-Cv6P

And this is my train of thought.

Remove the 8% + 8% + 12% Life nodes in the left branch and add them to the right branch (Close to Heartpierce) to get 8% + 8% Life + Fitness Node (thus losing 2% life and gaining 20 Strength)

Remove all left-most strength nodes and use them to go straight to static blows.

Branch from int nodes to the left to get Ele Damage, Resistances, Life etc. like so:

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgIBAnEEswguDH0OrRB_EdsUTRR1FSAZjho4Gtsk_SmlKk0s6TIJMn4yiTWSNug51DpSOuE-zz8nSn1N407IUUdVxlYEVvpX4livWz1fqmFSY6dnoGe9bPZuqm_yc-F0QXfleA16uILkhmCHdojxiq-PRpARkFWbjZuhn8ugn6IAplenCKeEqW6sWa6TtfK4k73mwdjGns9l0EfQ0NN-1QDdDd1G37_nVOw47YPuDu5v94j5Y_xO_MVBh4LHKPrr7qq4qn-HGa_rAdH0-KJAxKIy0UVHtQRdxkbX7SDhc4uM5CIpT4Kb_o-BSbI4Zk8=

From Excel...

I removed:
Strength: 100
Intelligence: 90
Resistances: 6%

And added:
Strength: 30
Intelligence: 90
Resistances: 20%
Elemental Damage: 41%

TOTAL CHANGE
============
-70 Strength
+10 Dexterity
+0 Intelligence
+14% Resistance
+41% Elemental Damage
-5% Max Resistances (No longer have Elemental Adaptation)
+2 Skill Points Left

Doing this, I lose basically 70 strength (35 life and 14% projectile damage from strength) and 5% to max resistances and gain 20% resistances and 41% elemental damage and 2 free skill points.

Is my math right or am I doing something wrong?

Quality Life Leech doesn't leech more, it leeches the same amount but at a faster rate :)

Hi guys im having hard time doing 5L in my bow i think i used around 50+ fusing do you think its worth it? to push through? or let it stay for 4 link and buy a new better one

Thanks guys

50 Fusings is very little for 5L :P And considering you are using a pure Physical bow, kinda wrong thread cos this is the Ele build thread :P
