So I decided my next char in ESC was going to be something using reach, and I was thinking about running this but I see a lot of complaints about cost effectiveness/difficulty in gearing. I managed to make a pretty great hubris and I'm thinking about rolling it, but I only had around 22 ex to begin with so skyforths are way out of budget, and most other rares aren't going to be fantastic. Here's the pieces I have right now: Issues I'm seeing right away are socket colors, accuracy, stun, and power charges. I could deal with stun easily on flaskfinder running a kiara's determination, so thats one setup that could work. Alternatively, an occultist would give power charges nicely and help make up for lower ES. Bottom line I just don't know if this is the build for me given my currency constraint, considering I managed to hit that hubris though so I do think a CI barrage character is probably ideal. I'd appreciate input on where to go from here, would a poison variant with added chaos work well? Assassin is desirable over pathfinder in that case, but rings in particular sound like a headache for a ci poison version (added chaos, %es, resists, accuracy, maybe even %chaos) ign - Zilead Last edited by Nicol#5877 on Oct 13, 2016, 3:41:40 PM	Posted by Nicol#5877 on Oct 13, 2016, 3:32:03 PM Quote this Post

THATS WHY, we convert whole damage pool to ele, to escalade "more" damage chain to max. crit and crit multi arent the best sources anymore. before 2.0, due to lack of enough 'more' damage modifiers, crit and crit mult were the best tooltip dps sources to invest on. that is an outdated approach. as i linked before, just with blood rage + auras i have 271k barrage dps, of course i have full mirrored gear but your gear is really kick ass too, i see much bigger potential than 50k there. those who are using RotC please ignore what im saying in this whole post, all these applies to harbinger bow users. on top of everything with barrage, crit after 70 is okay and enough. In rapid firing builds, you dont need to get 90 crit chance, cause you are bursting 7 to 10 arrows, 70% of them are dealing crit damage is enough to have consistent leech going on. as weird as this sounds I notice a huge difference when i run 70ish crit chance then rotate my tree to the low 80's. I know it sounds weird since we are running lots of arrows, etc. yet for some odd reason mapping feels so much smoother. On a side note: have you tested Increased attack speed with barrage. I am always trying to push the ias yet I am not running BR gem since I am using skyforth so I was just curious what real good base ias would be. Its hard to stack this area on skyforth builds?
