EDIT:
Ok So I tested it..

Same 3 gems in each bow (PA > Conc. Effect > Slower Projectiles)
In the +1 bow gems bow with super low damage, Poison Arrow TOOL TIP DPS = 339.53

In the bow with high physical damage, Poison Arrow TOOL TIP DPS = 644.89

That is a HUGE difference, and not in the favor of the +1 bow gems bow, so what gives? Am I looking at this wrong or is a +1bow gems bow useless for poison arrow compared to a high phys dmg bow? I can see how a +3 bow might have a large effect, but +1 doesn't seem to be doing the job.. AT ALL. Someone help! I know you say the opposite, but I generally don't believe something if I don't see it for myself, and I am definitely not seeing it here.



Dude, you are looking at the wrong DPS stat. We aren't concerned with tooltip as that isn't whats doing our damage. Hover over your poison arrow skill in the action bar and look at "Deals **** chaos damage per second" in the description. +1 is way better


That makes a lot more sense. Thank you!
bye bye PoE
I am running non-jewel tree now, but can somebody tell me, where exactly we should put jewels 1-5 recommended in guide? There is no hint, where to put each one of them. Thanks a lot.

Makes no difference. We aren't using radius-based jewels, so it's irrelevant where you put them.

First one will go Scion branch between ranger/duelist, since that's only a 1 point investment.

Second one will probably go next to Scion proj nodes (depending how you work your tree).

Every other jewel after that is 2 point investments so it doesn't matter.

Only played for an hour today but RNG was much better. Farmed cruel Voll area and got a 14% PA plus an empower and some crap 5l armour which I sold and bought a +2 thicket. Dont know whether to corrupt the empower now or level it over next few weeks to lvl 2 and then corrupt.....or even sell now while they are expensive and help fund a carcass jack. Thoughts?

Empower's already dropping. Went from 15c to 8c today. I'd keep either keep it, or sell it to afford Andvarius, tbh. But if you do keep it:

The gamble is completely up to you. But if you are going to try speed-corrupt it, gcp it to 20% first. That way if it misses, you can still level it relatively quickly. I would also definitely corrupt it while it's level 1. If it bricks from level 2 to 1, that's just frustrating as hell.

EDIT: Lastly, don't forget about the Haku mod (gems in this item get % quality). You can level an empower in your swap slot using that, effectively giving you free gcps on the gem.

How's everyone doing



Thoughts on:

Best auras once resists are capped?
Best support gems on Flame Golem?
Best 4 link on a +3?
thanks Serleth...think Ill keep it and get the gcp to quality it then. No Carcass Jack available on POE.trade so no ones selling at mo anyway.

Ps can you link flasks? ty:-)

Hey, I'm rollin that build, too, and look, RNG said thumbs up:

dropped in mudflats normal.

Lvl 51 now and pretty much breezing through the game. Got a 5l bow (unfortuntately with the hidden does not want to roll +2 modifier out of alts now (120 spent), out of chromes).

So settled for this atm:
:(

Anyway, great guide, I'm having a blast.
