Build-Question: What to do with Deaths Harp?

Hi folks,

few days ago i found this:



It has the top-end +%phys (125%) - but i think that doesnt really matter.

Anyway, i would love to make a build around this unique and i am thinking about an Explosive-Arrow-Crit-Fire-Witch? Am i on the right track? Or is the strength of this Unique somewhere else? Is it even worth, to build around? What kind of build would it need?

Thanks for answers in advance!

Is this unique useful past the midgame? Looks more like a leveling bow to me. Could get you from 32 to 60 or so relatively productively, I'd think.

Anyway, the bow would principally be for users that have access to either weapons or projectile damage buffs, I suspect.

--C

It was used a lot with Diamond Flasks back in Closed Beta. Those have since been removed, but they used to be a flask that gave you 100% chance to crit for a short duration. Pop those with that bow (100% crit multiplier), and you were set. ;)

Nowadays? Not sure :P

I hear they're still good for Totem builds, because of that extra projectile and not bad on the damage either. But like the others are saying, past level 60 you could definitely find some better rares.

so i think a "high-crit-chance-build" would be the best way to use that bow - right?

I think the point of the bow is the extra arrow (when you get late game)...but I may be mistaken....used for spreading curses or status effects?

Yep the "extra arrow" is the main point.
My tip use Elemental hit + Chain + critChance/dmg, this means 2 Arrows can chain up to 2 times, basically increasing the elemental status and ae effects.

The "special" mechanic for EH + chain, is that the element picked can be different for each chain. So with 2x3 hits, u always end up dealing all 3 elemental damage types at once, combine this with crit + Elemental proliferation and u have chill/shock/burn/freeze all at once.
This also means u have a much higher chance to get 2-3 shock stacks at once.

Example: EH + (Ele Wepon Damage, Ele Pro, Chain) + optional (Life Leech, Iron Grip, Point Blank, CritDamage/Chance, Atk Speed)

U also want to combine EH with elemental weakness and temporal chains, since temporal will double the time your freeze/chill/shock effects last.
