Fully converting damage to elemental to do physical reflect maps
|
I went with Deadeye/Elementalist Scion which lets me do elemental reflect maps, but I still wont be able to do physical reflect maps. Im not sure if theres a way to do that without super expensive gear (e.g. watcher's eye).
Im using tornado shot/barrage but neither of those converts physical to elemental and while I could use something like ice shot, those skills all do way less damage than tornado shot/barrage. Hrimsorrow only converts 50% physical to cold and even if I take winter spirit on the ranger side of the tree, that only converts 40% physical to cold. Another issue is that fully converting physical to elemental will actually lower my damage unless I stack elemental penetration (because bosses have elemental resists while they seem to have very little armor according to the wiki), which seems very hard for a bow build to do. Yes, i am aware there are a few penetration nodes on the ranger side of the tree, but they are sub optimal (very little damage improvement per skill point spent) and most only affect cold damage. Thoughts on this? https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Question2/characters Last bumped on May 10, 2018, 7:23:10 AM

I took a look at your tree but unfortunately you ditch all the movement speed node swhich really slows down clearing speed and makes it much harder to kite stuff like Izaro.
And I dont even know why you took point blank when the deadeye ascendancy gives you a damage bonus for longer distance and with pointblank you want to stay close... Not sure how conversion works. If I have Hrimsorrow + physical to lightning, do I end up with 0% physical? I could use physical to lightning but that uses a gem slot...and from what POB shows me, slower projectiles + physical projectile support would give me the most DPS (not counting elemental focus because I need to shock). But I did see that you only took one node for mana leech. I ran the numbers and I think you are right, spending 3 points for mana leech is kind of overkill. My main issue I guess is that even after i fully convert to elemental damage, I would lose damage overall as I have to sacrifice stuff to do it + bosses have elemental resists. So how do I get a damage boost out of it? I have hrim sorrow but im not using it at the moment because the passive frenzy charges from the gloves im using are amazing. I obviously dont have access to Farrul's Fur and probably cant get it before the league ends, and I cant afford the Green Dream at the moment. |

" movespeed nodes are only worth it as lab farmer or maybe racer... you do none of those so grab it for dmg and life... sure if you prefer 3k life and die ones every map and "kite" then go ahead i prefer dmg so i dont have to kite... for bosses take pointblanc is just better thats why you eed more life yeah 50% phy -> light and 50% phy -> cold === 0% phy and 50%/50% light and cold not that hard lol ... dnt use it in every map jsut for phy refl if you rly want it or reroll it... take ele pen nodes on tree // get wise oak and balance fire/cold/lighting res... slower proj is more dmg yes but less clear speed ( so only worth it for bossing ) phy proj can do more dmg, you can take it ... 30 Shores with Double Pack / Breach / Max Sextants https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2006424/page/1 First Selfmade Build as Sparker ( MF ) https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1637690 1 Million Tool Tip Dps Sparker https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1761162 Last edited by KillerKrug#1803 on May 10, 2018, 3:47:46 AM

So many ways to do what you want to do.
Gives 50% Conversion. Winter Spirit from the passive tree gives 40% Conversion. Lots of Quiver corrupted mods have at least 10% of physical converted to elemental damage. The Signal Fire converts 50% physical damage to Fire damage. Physical to Lightning jewel works really well as well since you get both the physical mods AND the elemental damage nodes from the tree to work with your attacks. Avatar of Fire Keystone is another option, but quite far from your starting point / general direction. The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

" Point blank is basically the best damage node in the game for projectile builds. Up to 50% increased at range from deadeye is nowhere near the damage it gives you. And you really need to be close range with barrage to ensure hitting anyway. Movement speed is nice, but why not use boots that aren't reliant on having ES up for the movement speed then? Atziri's steps are cheap and complement your phase acrobatics. Plus it's a bit of a luxury. As mentioned, fine if you are going to be speed clearing low tier maps. Not so much if trying endgame stuff. If you want frenzy charges, just use blood rage and maybe a frenzy skill for single target. Can put a power charge on crit too if you like. |
