How do you people feel about using Increased Critical Damage + Added Fire over Physical to Light + Weapon Elemental Damage? I took the Vitality Void cluster and also have .4% leech on my quiver. With former setup, I notice that my leech is much better. Most likely because a percentage of all my physical damage is being leeched, versus half for the latter. Though, the phys to light + WED combo gives higher dps, but only by about 2k.


By taking WED & PtL in your setup you cripple your leech since you remove a large portion of your physical damage (leech is based off physical damage on most items). The DPS tooltip is more and it does different damage to monsters, sometimes better and sometimes worse depending on the newer buffs to certain monster packs and buffs to bosses resistances. The WED & PtL type setup, however is required in some form of combo for physical reflect maps since there really is no way to run physical reflect maps like before with the new mechanics and values. I just swap an armor to cover Physical reflect maps and I do not run WED/PtL at all yet its each players choice since it does cripple your leech to a point
so my first good bow without multicraft :)

ICD + WED should still be better than ICD + Added Fire?

Daresso 6L or Hyrri's ire 6L ?
I'm currently trying out hyrri's ire and it performs fine

The endurance charges from daresso's do not seem necessary, though the leech loss might be for someone who does not have more leech in items. Luckily I got 1.2 % leech in my ammy :)

My gear right now (im going to update both rings to tri res and life and boots to evasion-tri res-life)

Spoiler


Im trying a new setup in frenzy, cut off wed and trying phys to light, as a guy came and offered a trade for my old glyph mark (20 ex plus his gggbbr for my gggbrr) and it seems just fine, if anything i gained more damage. The issue I had with phys to light was if the leech would be enough as u leech only physical and it transforms it to lightning dmg, but leech seems ok. Plus I rarely even use frenzy as my split arrow one shots everything but the bosses.

Im also trying to reach lv 95 to gain some more life nods as my life pool sucks right now (3700 life lol)
new dps pics :D

SA


FRENZY

Hi Neversink, first of all, thank you for your informative post, I start playing POE and learn all my stuff from this, helps a lot.

since POE is now 2.0, it has some changes, could you elaborate more on skill+support gems?
1. Enduring Cry don't work with CwDT anymore, what could be swap into 4L CwDT-IC-ID ?
2. let's say we have 3*4L (gloves, boots, helms) and 2*5L (chest, bow), what would those links divide among offensive / defensive ? I am running puncture for snipe, TS, SA for COH, and CwDT.
3. we have total 8 active skill slot, I find it not enough for all my skills, they are TS, puncture, SA, two auras, one golem, blink arrow, phase run (for strongbox), blookrage. that is total 8 skills. what is your take?
4. reduced mana does not work for auras anymore, hatred, herald of ash, herald of ice will be 100% mana reserved, what is your take on this? use level 4 enlighten? or just run with 2 aures, which 2 would be best?
5. new skill gems, do they have potential to utilize with this build? for example Ice Bite?


There is a small section on auras in 2.0. He suggested hatred/ash or 3 heralds. Then some combo of grace/hatred/arctic armor for hc characters.

I'd be interested in support set-ups and skill slot management as well. Currently I'm running TS, hatred, and puncture in my mouse slots. Then my keyboard has my curse shot (playing around with SA/chain and gmp/ls), decoy totem, blink, ice golem, and arctic armor. With my new bow and reaching a higher level, i'm using decoy less and less now. I may switch that out with something like blood rage to build frenzy.

I've seen some builds keep the cwdt-ic combo and manually cast ec. Is that combo ic worth it without ec? The guide mentions that some defensive curses would be helpful as well. Which ones have you guys had luck with? I've read enfeeblement is good, but I haven't seen much else.
Trying to figure out what'd be better. What do you guys think Right now I am using
because it's about 1k tooltip dps more in town over my DrillNeck


That's my setup right now. Obviously no pierce gem in my TS setup. Is my setup wrong and I should def be using Drillneck? I put Pierce gem in just to see and it was lower dps than the rest but thinking maybe the effect of Drillneck is reflected in tooltip. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Guys i recently got lucky and a 6L Decimation bow dropped for me. Not sure what i should do with this guy, try to chance an Infractem or trans/alt/regal my way to some good rolls.

I am completely new to crafting bows, reading the guide but it only mentions harbinger bows
