Yo guys, so it has been few leagues since i played with a bow and also a first build this expensive since I dunno any easy way to make currency. But this league I got lucky and got my hands on few Exalts. So can you suggest:
Leveling path + uniques which are best to use before switching to CI and a bow?
At the moment I basically only have a signalshot I bought for 25c (with 33% conversion) but it is not corrupted for additonal arrow. I might use some ES items from my other build so my main concern right now is a weapon. Rest i can buy for few C and upgrade later on.
Also I can work with aprox. 10-12 ex, what do you suggest I should buy? I think I might get 6L bow or 5L ROTC (non-legacy) + 6L ES armor 700+. I won’t get any cool flasks, 20% gems or great jewels like energy from within with that ammount of currency spent on bow and armor. I can make some during playing and upgrade this as I go but I was wondering what’s the best path to choose so I can farm T16 maps or shaper? I saw a video that face-tanking shaper’s laser is possible with 5L ROTC but I dunno if it was legacy and if non-legacy is even worth buying.
Also I didnt get one thing. We are running 2x 6L so we can use 2 skills together and not swap gems, is it ok to go 5L + 6L and still be able to do T16?
So I read that its not really clear whether ROTC is a good bow anymore after nerf to 2 arrows so 5L ROTC is probably not a great option. ALso 6L is 10 ex which is basically my current budget.
Again I am still leveling up but I wanna do uber atziri, guardians and shaper + uber lab so basically end game content but I dont know how powerfull this build is with 12 ex budget.
thanks
With 12 ex gonna be pretty rough to try to do T16 etc imo. You can easily farm T15 and other content without many issues on that budget. I put together a gear set worth probably 6-7 Ex if that even and chained Strands/Atoll/Reef until 92 where I could finally afford Skyforth.
I'm gonna try Guardians maybe this week after some small upgrades so I will be using 5L LA and 6L Barrage most likely.
So you think that its too little budget? so what do you think I should invest to? 6L bow and 5L armor? i can get away with around 7k CI on my current gear from my first char and thats having 550 es armor so if i can get 700+ which I can i will have enough to get 6L bow. the question is whether to get Opus or ROTC, what will give me more DPS and what I wont have to upgrade for T16 bosses. I am no good at gathering currencies and i have a build that (my 1.) that can farm up to T14 maps pretty easily so I can lvl up my archer and farm maps with the other while gathering more currency for better gear. So I am basically just now wondering about the BOW. I dont think i will get currency to get Sky's coz I am doing smth wrong and dont know how to generate currency. I see ur running low tier maps and i dont understand how u saved up for those :O pm me :)
So guys, what do you think? Opus 6L + 5L regalia? Or 6L ROTC + 5L regalia? So basically I need an advice how to progress with items (i can even wait 2 - 3 days before i farm at least lvl 75/80 then buy but i wanna look out for good deals, dont think prices will go down on those anymore)
Bow 6L: Opus - 150% crit chance, 190 pdps, around 8 ex
ROTC - 260 pdps, around 9 ex, no additonal crit chance
so whats better for mapping and possible for T16 bosses? In the video he did Shaper with 5L ROTC but i guess thats legacy and that is probably a big deal. What do you suggest?
Armor: Do I need 6L right now or should I get high ES 4L one and then upgrade to 6L? I assume armor is basically to get 2 skills without swapping gems. I dont mind swapping for bosses that I need to swap gems for (I assume up until t9 i can kill those with tornado shot)
So I can get 6L bow, high ES armor and items + vinktar (normal) and save up for dying sun and 6L armor?
and one last thing... Tornado shot or Lighting arrow? I assume LA + barrage for single target, but since I wont have 2x 6L then tornado shot is a way to go for now?
new rotc is shit, opus is better. for bosses you definitely need 6l barrage. if you cant afford vinktar, use warlords mark vs bosses with barrage until you get your vinktar.
also for early atziri runs vaal burning arrow traps/mines are very recommended.
Tornado Shot is better vs yellow packs, cause it deals more damage. LA is better for fast clearing and LA gets better after a certain point of high dps/good gear. TS is really good vs very tough targets where you can't totally go single target attacks, like über atziri trio fights.
"You have great power. You're right to be proud. It's unfortunate you have to die now, but I will honor you with 45% of my strength."
