I alt'd about 200, and didn't hit +2 once. Am I doing something wrong?

RNG or the itemlevel is too low.

Eventually got one working. Thanks.

Thanks a bunch for this guide dude. I'm using shitty gear while I work on improving it and I'm amazed what it can do, even in the state I'm running it. Thanks again :)

Full-on damage is probably best done from Occultist so I'd start your search in the Witch section of the forums.

Thanks for the reply!

What would go for between :

does life gained on hit works with CA ?

The +3 silverbough will yield the best DPS; but if you have a bunch of currency, I'd fix up (one of) the Maraketh to make it +3 and to roll some damage mods.

The life gain on hit would apply to your arrow's initial hit and any mobs subsquently hit by the arrow following pierce, but you'll get very little life gained this way; the life gain on hit won't apply to the caustic cloud.

Yeah, I have the currency for the +3 and DoT! I was debating which bow I should do it on!

Thanks for the insight on the life gained on hit!

Hey guys sorry for bumping up the thread again.

I have a specific question in terms of this build's farming ability.

I plan to create this after much deliberation and have about a budget of 3-5ex to work with.

Also the character I'm creating is only specifically for farming shaped strands and nothing else. Just pure shaped strands.

In that scenario, would I require a 6L bow to complete shaped strands in under lets say 50-60 seconds or would a 5L bow be more than enough since 6L bows are really expensive?

And would the 3-5ex as aforementioned be enough to build a character as such? I'm playing on LSC btw.

Once again thank you for taking your time out to read this guys, any help is much appreciated.

This build will not do Shaped Strands that quickly. Period. You're looking at probably around 2:30. Regardless, 5L will be enough as the last gem you add is the IIR gem. The priority is +3 bow.

5L +3's go for 1-2ex, Andvarius rings are 4-5c each, a serviceable rare chestpiece (dual res, good life) won't cost you more than a chaos, Goldwyrm are 1c and the rest of your gear you can probably get for 5-20c (depending on what roll values you want), aside from good jewels which will probably be 20c each.

All told, build shouldn't cost you more than 3ex.

Some nice changes coming for Scion - extra couple of passives for taking path of the Shadow. Trickster gets a 20% boost to recovery for life / mana /es.
