What would be the optimal gem-setup for crit split Arrow? (5L and 6L)

I went Split-Chain-Ppad-Crit multi-Weapon ele-Added fire. full dps setup with power charges.

I want FA, don't wanna Chain. Many people like phys to light as it shocks.
1 optimal setup each

Not 100% sure, but I think it influences the time it takes for monsters to respond to your presence. So it takes them longer before they start attacking you.

Wiki says:
"Monster Response time: Phase Run causes monsters to fail to respond to your presence for slightly longer than normal."

I've never tried it though, so don't know how usefull it is for a bow build.

probably more than blink arrow since you can use it solo while blink arrow (usually) needs faster attacks linked to it. I don't have phase run (yet) but running through mobs sounds great to me in case you get swarmed or brain fart.

Don't think it's more usefull than Blink Arrow.
Blink Arrow allows you to jump ledges, and over obstacles. Phase run does not. As a nice side effect, Blink Arrow leaves behind a clone to distract enemies. Can be usefull in boss fights.
Phase run may have a cool effect of moving through mobs, but it has 2 big downsides: a 4 sec cooldown, and it consumes all your frenzy charges.

For Melee Phase Run gives a nice dps boost of up to 30% at lvl20, but does nothing for ranged besides the movespeed.

So I think I'll take Blink Arrow over Phase Run.

Has anyone ever tried Phase Run for this build?

Guys what is your opinion on the Warband Trapper boots (20%phys - Up to 40% proj. dmg). Is it worth investing in ?

I've tried phase run and its not good enough, a crit quicksilver flask is better tbh. Blink arrow is way better, its basically everything the build needs. U got high mov speed so u only need something to get out of difficult situations or jump on ledges and stuff

The optimal setup for split arrow surely does not contain inc crit dmg, it got nerfed to the ground

The optimal setup is SA-Chain-PPAD-WED-Added Fire-PCOC

And when one takes power charges from herald of ice what goes in pcoc place? Faster attacks? Crit dmg gives way more dps.

Then one should not get power charges from HoI :P

If so yes u play what gives more dps, if inc crit dmg does then play that

Though id highly advise for pcoc, i hate all setups with heralds and curse on hit cause they are sub-optimal, with this build i never had all the charges all the time, now i do and still dps is 180k

I don't know,i never run out of charges this way. There are some basic guidelines but no universal optimum setup. Except from fully mirrored gear.
People should check all possibilities and find the best for them. For me it's what i play with now. For you another.

Pcoc doesn't make any sense until you have 4 or more power charges, as incr crits gives you 167%crit chance.

edit, sories, forgot that q on pcoc gives 20% chance at 20q

still I like incr better tho, more comfy
