Single Target solution for EA discussion
|
RIP Frost Wall..... Dayz of Oneshotting bosses with EA are gone.
So what are we going to do now?.... Another 6L ST Quill on swap for Single target? But how good is max 5 arrows fuse compared to frost wall holding something 30-40 fuses before going BOOM. -Forever Casual- IGN: Zzerk Last bumped on Aug 31, 2016, 3:46:22 PM

I guess it's back to the days of Ignite.
Another option is to use a +2/+1 bow for single target. But I guess you'd still want ignite for that as well. But then there's that curse effectiveness nerf... :( Face it, all of your suggestions are worse than this idea: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/657756 Last edited by dudiobugtron on Aug 31, 2016, 9:11:46 AM

Rather than use another quillrain for single target you could use a +3 bow with empower - chance to ignite - increased burn damage for your single target. You can probably pull off some shenanigans with elemental proliferation and the worm jar flask vs bosses.

" So for maximum ST burn it would be EA - Conc Effect - Chance to Ignite - Inc Burning Dmg - Fire Pen - Empower??? I'd rather have insane AoE clear from EA with Quill and then swap for Insane ST burn setup. -Forever Casual- IGN: Zzerk Last edited by _Zerk_ on Aug 31, 2016, 9:46:19 AM

" Slower Proj would, probably, be better than Inc Burning Damage, due to double dipping. | |

Simple advice. When it is time to abandon a build, please do so.

You could also try a utility skill with knockback (ie split arrow) to push the enemy to a real wall and then still get the shotgunning effect like before.

+3 bow ignite setup on swap works more than fine.
Or you can simply facetank things after kiting them next to walls at least that's what I used to do back in the day. But now you also have Decoy Totem. Knockback on Flame Totem or something is another option. | |
" That only works for bosses that can be knocked back, though :P Tornado shot may have been nerfed (thanks to the pierce and poison nerf), but it and barrage have pretty clearly emerged as the undisputed best single-target bow skills until further notice, with these patch notes.
