Revealing the Secrets - LA

the problem of LA having is lacking an answer to 150+ MS and rumi flask + cwdt flame dash initiations of pathfinder.

solutions:

+very high attack speed, to be able to go through rumi flask block. you need high attack speed to be able to have enough time and luck to have a shot which goes through 75 block.
+decree of winter
+conversion amulet + anti shock flasks.
+high HP pool, 8k-9k life, 12k ES at least
+lowering the dps would make things vs casters really hard. casters are mostly ez to deal with, but because we outdps them / outrange them. losing this upper hand is not cool.
+1-3-5-7 arrows to be able to target them


HoT hits like 5k-6k per hit. other than that LA is solid vs casters, melee, EA and all other stuff.

Bow has always done pretty good versus casters for those reasons. It was only pre-bcr gem that bow struggled in PvP because of Tempest shield. Even before the bcr gem bow lacked the support gems we have now...basically bow is on a whole new level since these changes. If LA or any bow skill for that matter was to get nerfed, by design bow would still compete well against casters but casters could be toned down in a few areas themselves. During the time everyone was bitching about crit dagger, I kept saying people are sleeping on bow potential but from the release of this game til current, casters have been among the top 1-2 builds in PvP.


Also yes, I remember when Pathfinder was revealed. I asked Dubilicious if he was going to run that class because of all the amazing passives that fit perfectly in PvP. I just never imagined it would become as strong as it has but just at first glance you could tell it was going to be solid for PvP just like Juggernauts unstoppable.

Can you counter HoT Pathfinder with remote mines and minions? And why not going pathfinder yourself?

our attacks can be blocked, HoT cant be blocked. going pathfinder is not a bad idea yet its not a solution either.

there is a guy called dolchon, whoever convinces to pvp with me, i'll pay him 2ex

lol puttin' a hit out, you gangster!

Do you just one-shot him with BCR gem? Going pathfinder, you will become as fast as him, so he can't catch you.

Don't you lose damage with Elemental Focus? Because you can't shock
