[2.6] SignalShot™ CI Full Ele Conversion TS/Barrage / Shaper & Uber Deathless / with video!
When I was starting off I did Orb if Storms but that shit is slow. Most of my mid-game farming I used Herald of Ice with COH and AM.

" just pointing this out, it's not 90% conversion. Ice Shot was changed to 60%, so with 40 on the tree, thats 100% ele conversion. if you get a rare quiver with chance/multi/flat/AS, you can just use an Added Fire gem in your setup...and suddenly you have all those stats from the rare quiver. frost bomb, cold pen, OOS-CoH-FrostBite...If your argument all stems from "10% less damage", then you need to reconsider. Blasting mentioned he just did a Ice Shot/Barrage character in HC (legacy?) too -- can we get some feedback on the dmg? |

" Orb of Storms is not the greatest way I think, as you have to get close up and personal (except if you took Point Blank, which I'd rather would not on a ranger build) anyway. Not really convinced that this works well while mapping on a non-spell build without a lot of cast speed and the range issue. On bosses ... probably ok. Although a simple Frenzy + PCoC would only be a 2-Link and generates already Power AND Frenzy charges for you on bosses ... |

" He sits with 7k and I am around 8.3, both without melding cluster. Also, he uses 4 arrow reach of council and I use . I am going to check out those skill tree links now. |

" That's good for Ice Shot, what is he using for Single Target - Barrage? You would have 50% from Physical to Lightning and 40% to Cold from Tree? Which makes 90% ... loosing 10% ele conversion and reducing effectiveness of those 3 passives by probably around 40-50% (as they only work with cold damage, Hatred included). Not sure if boosting Ice Shot and reducing Barrage damage makes sense. |

Which is better:
Death's Opus: 190 PDPS Harbinger: 315 PDPS, 25Crit, 0 Crit Multi |

" Check my post about this a few pages back. Short answer: there's no way to tell without knowing how many arrows you fire in total, and what your current overall crit multiplier is. All forms of damage scaling go into diminishing returns, so the more arrows you have (from helm enchant, dying sun, and quiver) and the higher your crit multiplier, the stronger the harbinger gets compared to Opus. You can always calculate how they compare. For instance if you fire 4 arrows from barrage and get +3 from dying sun, then the opus will fire 9 arrows in total and the harb only 7. That gives the Opus a damage multiplier of x9/7 or x1.29 relative to the harbinger. If you also have, say, 400% crit multi, then that will be boosted to 550% with the opus, giving the opus a 550/400 (x1.38) damage multiplier relative to the harbinger. Overall then you can multiply that 190 opus pdps by 1.29 and 1.38 for an overall pdps of 338 relative to the 315 pdps of the harb. However, things are not so simple because you won't crit 100% of the time, and thus the Opus gets worse the lower the crit chance and accuracy. Still, the opus likely wins in this scanario, since a Diamond Flask bridges the gaps in crit chance greatly between bows. Last edited by DicemanX#7029 on Mar 22, 2017, 1:35:52 PM

Thanks for the reply.
One more question: Which should i use for stun Eye of Chayula or Valyrium? |
|
" Use a Kiara's Determination instead. You shouldn't waste valuable dps slots on anti-stun measures, especially on a build that should be rarely hit once you push damage to high enough levels. When mapping Determination should be up 100% of the time. |

these is my gear, BUT IDONT EVEN HAVE 60k dps, can someone help?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLZ
