[2.2] Arly's Lightning Arrow - Elemental Pathfinder

It would probably be the second. One thing is that I generally just like being able to change up play style a lot. I'm getting tired of spending 4ex on regrets every week though haha. I have my RF alt, but I tried to sit down and level a shadow to be my alt that does whatever my ranger isn't doing (in this case he would be my bow character), but I just hate leveling low level (same reason I wanted to throw up by the time I leveled my 4th character in D3... running 9 acts per character gets old). Having RT on spec throw would probably make for problems without at least using a few regrets, as shocking seems like it's a good thing on your build, right? I guess the main huge bonus is that all the gear is the same spare the weapons and offhand.

I just wanted to share a Scion build I made using 90 points, following the level 74 template.

Post is fixed at the expense of fancy formatting.

so i've been trying this build out and had a lot of fun with this build, but feel like i've hit kind of a wall at level 85 and don't know where to go from here.

my gear:




my tree:



so i feel like i'm lacking in both tankiness and dps somehow, even if my numbers seem decent-okay compared to everyone else who's posted in this forum. slowly working my way up to a better bow and chest, but any help in the meantime would be appreciated.

What about Atrizi ?

Not to be a dick but you can get higher dps than 19k, but good build:)

Doing well with this build level 74 with cheap gear but it seem i can farm pretty easily. Power crit monster seem to be an issue tought they sometime one shot me.

Will you update it for 1.2 ? :)

seems like there are less *reduce mana reserved* , wont be able to achieve 5 auras anymore?

On the previous page Arly stated that this build is for clearing high level maps. There are other better builds for farming Atrizi.

I'm level 87 and followed this build closely. I've never played the Atrizi content. So, right after advancing to 87 I decided to try Atrizi. That way I couldn't lose the 7.5% experience penalty, in case I died. Good thing for that. I got wiped out six times without killing her. I'm a putz so your mileage may be better but I'm going to sell the five sacrificed sets that I have saved up and return to mapping fun. :-)

thanks for the reply

what do you think of the new frenzy nerf ?

I think puncture or barrage would be better single target skill now in 1.2...
