-Expensive
-Could have more single dps (for t16/shaper)
-If you fail flask-management too much you die to reflect etc.
-you schould manage to do uberlab to use the full potencial

The quiver converts 50% of phys into fire.

The other 50% gets converted with

The basic concept is about the flasks and the conversion of the physical DPS into elemental dps. Pathfinder allows us to have whole time dmg-boosts/leech and increased maxres-cap.

The flasks:

"

+9% max-res from flasks (to 84%)
+75% to all res from flasks
15% Lightning-penetration from flasks

because of ruby, lightning and topaz-based unique flasks we get the full potencial of offensive and defensive abilities. paying 9exa for so much return is totally worth it for a strong base.

Physical conversion:

The quiver converts 50% of phys into fire.

The other 50% gets converted with

The gear:
In fact we are playing a CI build high ES-gear is highly recommended.
I recommend a helmet witch 2 additional secondary projectiles.

To reach maxcrit(95%) we need at least a decimation or harbinger bow. He should have 300+ pDPS with 8.55% crit the least.

At least we should have 2 items with 300+ accuracy. I decided to put my ACC on 1 ring and gloves.

Because of our 100% elemental conversion we want to have as much weapon elemental damage rolls as possible but also flat-phys. If you can manage to get attackspeed on rings without having problem with your resistances go for it. In best case scenario you have flat-pyhs/WED and ES%-roll on your jewlery + attackspeed.

If you cant affort skyforth you can still use herald on ice - curse on hit - assasins Mark (+ enlighten)

Leveling

Ill list some item and gem timestamps to know what you can choose at specific levels. You dont need to but the gems (especially the 6L-gems) should be picked and be level'd already.

You should either decide to go physical to lightning early on(LVL18) or go for full ele (Storm Cloud-> Temptest-> Rare Bow)
