Most resilient bow-build on hc?

Thanks for the answers. Just realized that bow builds are maybe the most expensive in this game beside any kind proper melee. Even that flask taste of hate costs about 6ex. But it's what it's. Maybe continue a little bit with my contagion character since it seems to be much cheaper maybe because there aren't so many uniques for that and not so popular either.

They are only expensive if you are playing a voltaxic evasion lightning coil taste of hate 5corrupted GG item for chaos leech ctrl+c ctrl+v build.

As for a normal build, I made my build from 1.5 ex, which of drillnek was 1 exalt, and has no problem with phys dmg, as I said ele can be a problem, but nothing is perfect.


With granite flask, no charges.

You can level with ice crash, using 2 handers, then just switch over to bows later.
Don't give up your dreams.

Seriously. Just grab a Lioneye's Fall, put it in that jewel slot next to RT, and take the Staff and Melee Crit wheels next to it. Stack Armor and life, and use a Lioneye's Glare with a Rearguard, Stone of Lhazwar, and Rumi's Concoction. That gets you about 70% Block and Spell Block pretty easily with about half an exalt of investment and more than enough DPS for quite a few map tiers. Don't bother with IR or US, getting a bit of Evasion with Blasphemy Enfeeble is an excellent additional layer of defense.
