[2.6] SignalShot™ CI Full Ele Conversion TS/Barrage / Shaper & Uber Deathless / with video!

Nothing changed your mana should be close to what it was. The tree posted assumes you use a lvl 4 enlighten gem. With only a lvl 3 your mana will probably be in the 50-60's. Are you sure you did not take any mana reserve nodes or a better question would be did you use a gem before that helped that you are not using now, etc. Yet as mentioned already as for mana reserve nothing has changed in general.

I did same skill path as in blasting_cap's skill tree which was elit version i guess ? Filled tree directly on his own character's , not one in guide. I cant exactly remember if here was mana nodes within paths and i had somehow same set up 117+ mana with level,3 enlight. Im lil bit confused and trying to figure out for hours actually LOL

well I would spec into charisma for now until you get a couple lvl 4 enlightens that will solve the issue. Running his setup without lvl 4's will put you in the exact situation you are having now.

If you have no enlighten and no Skyforth, how do you get powercharges? Is charisma enough to support HoI, Hatred and Discipline? I can maybe try to get a level 2 Enlighten, but definitely not a level 3. I guess PCoC is an option but I feel like that's a HUGE DPS loss. I could also spec into Influence I guess, since that also has a 4% mana reduction node.


Also, are the Links listed in terms of Effectiveness? I only have 2 4Ls atm so I'm not sure for best gem setups. I'm currently thinking:

LA: LA+LMP+WED+Increased Crit or PPAD
Blast Rain: BR + WED+PPAD+Elemental Focus

Finally, why is Barrage used over Blast Rain? I haven't played bow build for a few leagues, but back when I played it blast rain was king. Does the additional projectiles on Reach/Opus make barrage better or is it just that barrage is easier to spam or something?

Edit: Just realized you have to use PTL to get 100% Conversion on Blast Rain/Barrage, so probably replace PPAD or Focus for that?

And for flasks, what would be the best two before Vinktar's and Dying Sun? Atziri Flask because it's cheap and gives a lot of damage, and like a Jade or Basalt for the mitigation?

barrage has more projectiles per shot: better damage. works with point blank slightly better also.

Fixed problem charisma helped a lot now got like 200+ mana also bought a leve-4 enlighten.added like 30+ mana.Probably will close charisma again.

Im following this guide, is there a way to replace signal fire, is still viable for legacy?

Is there a particular reason why we go for Point - Point for Normal and Cruel in Bandits.
Why not % Att speed?

I went for the +8% attack speed on my character, since it's worth more than 1 passive point.

even a mirrored quiver gives 10% less damage than 32-33% non +1arrow signal fire with this build. signal fire is the core item of the build, you cant do it without that

its possible to convert 90% of phys damage without help of the signal fire. now(2 passive points to spend total)

i didnt test it, since signal fire itself also gives good additional damage.
