" What gloves would you recommend? |

Rat's Nest is surely ok - as is abyssus. My problem with those helmets is that they almost require Kaoms/Belly - or a sizeable increase of %hp on the passive tree.
Well..there are options. Gripped gloves are still there, quite easily craftable (or you can buy a weaker base with the new hybrid roll). Since I'm in the process of purchasing gear for a new doomfletch character, I came across this thing, and bought it for 9c, just out of utter disbelief.. Even for the dedicated doomfletch tree/gear, it came dmgwise close to +1 drillneck. For the regular build, I don't even want to know the PoB result. The most difficult part about the budget bow build is imo the economy problem. A lot of good items jump in price after two weeks or so (or not even one week in 3.0) - which is quite punishing for those who couldn't get the items in time. @shiftedaura: as the budget-version (no 6l, max 1 5-l) thunderfist are great. For endgame, something like on a gripped-gloves base. The most important stats are imo life + attack speed - try to get 2 decent suffixes with it (preferably accuracy or resistances. A hybrid life roll or a flat phys roll are very nice additions as well. EDIT2: forgot to mention hrimsorrow as an option (frostblade-ish). With the cold conversion nodes and frost bomb for single target, it's a decent alternative. Not sure at all, if you can compete with ele conversion or doomfletch prism at the highest level of gear - but imo it deserved to be mentioned as a leveling / mapping option. Pure cold conversion makes it easier to kill bosses (frost bomb + easy Wise Oak balancing) - the disadvantages are the bad vinktar-viability and the missing life roll.

Hey ! I'm sry if the answer is already in these 900 pages but it's a lil bit hard to find.
Since i'm following build 2 (sion ele/ass-eye) i'm having huge troubles to sustain mana costs even with a jewel 0.38% phy mana leech OR 2 mana per hit. I'm runing a 4L only atm, the guide says about picking a mana leech node but the tree present in the guide doesn't pick it and it's still low mana leech. Should i take alira bandits reward ? Manage to use Parix ( wich solve all the mana problems but lack of life / res) ? add more mana leech jewels ? About the bandits btw, isn't alira a good choice since we rely on crit and 15% all res is always good ? |

^^ Mana issue is in the tree section @ rigth buttom part with those nodes you can easily sustain 40+ mana per ts. My bow guy reserve 75% but i dont have mana issue just keep in mind that arrows must hit the mob in order to leech. Hope this help.

People people having issues with this build starter guide, focus more on defense options suggested.
Just completed act 10, and it was a breeze (until Kitava - screw that boss). I focused mainly on defense. At 71 I have 3.4k HP, max resists (before merciless debuff now but and 13k evades/30dodge. Killed using just TS ( 4L 10k DPS, everything dies fast still)for single/AOE and Ballista in 4 socket for bosses mainly (so i can kite and still wear them down). Don't even have CWDT setup until recently, and no COH setup yet at all. I have boots at 72 which will solve merc resist debuf that and need better rings as old are level 20 and crappy). Never felt squishy and even gave up at times due to lazyness and facetanked some bosses. I haven't even picked up Vaal Pact, and did second sewers with -30 chaos and unique decimator bow removing life leach without any issues. I have 5 points not spent as I'm not sure where to put them as this is the furthest I have reached ever, maybe into skills behind acro, or maybe convert 40% to cold in the passive trees. I picked Alira for bandits and don't regret that one bit. Yes, early on you need to pick all the mana leach nodes, but later you can respec out to only 1. |

By the way this guide says will update soon so for all of new players please keep in mind in passive tree focus more on HP nodes you wont go wrong and by the time neversink updated this guide your already tanky enough to keep the ready to fill damage nodes. Hope this help and if you have any question I will try to answer based on experienced.
Just focus more in surviving hits (more hp, max resistance) you wont go wrong then go for more damage. |

the tree and everything works if u take the advice and build around it. it does say build "Guide" not everyone gonna lay it all out for u learn when to grab nodes and gear and such I'm enjoying the build tbh

" Not using TS but LA, does it change mana cost ? Anyway i'll give a try to these nodes and i'll see what happen =) |
|
|
^^ my experienced in LA should be better for leeching mana because the mechanics of 3 lighting projectile auto detecting mob will surely hit something nearby. Moreover if i switch to LA mana leech is performing better due to its mechanic of auto tracking mobs.

^^ SoloSwag said it right and build works not only by passive tree, right gears and jewelries is needed in order to reflect a good results.
