I tried out your suggestion just in POB about the lioneyes and I lose alot of damage. This is considering a near perfect bow, I think you may have not of saw the added physical damage part on the bow im using when enemies are bleeding. It's just frustrating seeing how my idea isn't working out well and I don't feel like playing a different bow skill as I've tried almost all of them at this point.

After thinking more too, I came to the realization that Im doing a pure physical build. Im betting if i did some conversion and added as extra i would probably be alot better off. I guess this shows the problem with physical scaling builds, they're just too weak in the end game.

I wouldn't say that pure phys is not strong, it's just more along the lines of an "all or nothing" commitment. Which you are doing well, we just don't want to sacrifice DPS for additional scaling if the net isn't high enough from the new damage source. So for instance, your Bow automatically maims for you, so lets replace that Maim support ASAP. That will be a net new gain. Also, for bosses, ditch the Mirage Archer. Mirage Archer is fantastic for clear, not so for bosses.

I find Point Blank to be extremely well tuned for RoA, maybe give that a try!

Conversion can help, but only if you go hard on the conversion (50%+). I typically prefer flat ele damage however: Something like Hatred + Added Fire (in place of mirage Archer) + Vicious Projectiles (in place of Brutality).

Well, I might be misunderstanding something about items granting the maim skill on hit. I thought when using an item that grants a maim on hit effect it only applies the slow portion. The support maim gem gives % more phys and enemies take more phys as well. So correct me if I'm wrong because that's the only reason I have the maim support in there because the bow only provides the slow and nothing else.

So I can totally ditch the mirage archer, and I can slap on a vicious projectiles then and let you know how that works on major bosses. Are you sure I won't lose damage though overall with taking that off because mirage archer is great too when having to move alot on bosses.

Lastly, I do already have pointblank on in the tree so that's already in effect. I can try out the conversion after the above suggestions if it still seems lackluster. Thanks for getting back to me.
