Hi guys,

Im loving this build in Legacy, although its been quite expensive and has eaten up all of my currency Im not quite sure where to go next, I only have about 3k ES but I have a lot of ES nodes to collect in the next 10-15 levels.
My question is if I should use my bow with 350 physical dps or the Deaths Opus which has the 2 extra arrows and only 178 physical dps.
Does the dps calculation take into account the 2 extra arrows? Because they both seem to clear about the same speed.
Im now working on saving 6ex (the current market price) for a level 4 enlighten so I can run both auras.
My account should be public so I would appreciate any recommendations you have.
Thanks in advance.

dude get ES. f*ck enlighten lvl 4. you gotta have at least 7k ES to run this build.

More of a sidegrade tbh.

I think I have to disagree a bit here. The bow is about 360pDPS, and I've got a 390pDPS bow on Standard and it does a ton more damage than a perfect 6L Death's Opus. Clearing is faster, bosses are faster and safer and generally an overall substantial damage boost.

@linkstatic
38 crit multi makes difference, also your bow does lack APS which is most of the time just a tooltip dps inflater, if your bow had 13% APS, your bow would have 440 pdps(roughly speaking) and on top of that you have 38 crit multi. so when you crit, you crit really... really hard. imagine a 460 pdps - 470 pdps with 13 APS bow without crit multi. thats how your bow hits like per shot.

Having a blast with this build but dont know what should I improve next. Here are my items:

@elucepoe
%ES on rings, +1 at least on helmet, more accuracy, attack speed on gloves. use kiara's instead of atziri flask(don't you get stunned?

Sometimes i do but most of the time nothing gets close to me cuz dmg is crazy

I thought i should save for skyforths first

I play this game about a week. People at this forum show the things and they are very cool. At the moment I even am not able to afford skyforths boots or 6L bow or chest.
Here at some things on 200-300 orb. How to receive so much? At the high levels of maps it is possible to farm much more?
Look at my profile, there can be you will be able to advise me something what to make first of all? (well except 6L on bow and chest armor)

There is my current gear:

That is true too. I've been thinking of a bow upgrade for ages, but nothing really seems worth it. Would a Glyph Mark be a very big boost? Or would my next realistic upgrade to actually feel the difference be in Brood Twine territory?

brood twine and glyph mark has 8-9% dps difference. i used to own both for a while. and compared to your bow any of these bows would buff your damage dramatically. brood twine can't lose any value. so it's more like a investment or / also adding a perfection to already good gear.

The Opus is at least as strong as a 360pdps Harbinger if the player isn't getting extra arrows via Dying Sun/Helm Enchant/Quiver, and if the crit multi is relatively low. For instance if your crit multi is 300 and you only have the base 4 arrows on Barrage, then an Opus is equivalent in strength to a 450pdps (!) Harbinger assuming that the crit chance is equivalent (and you can bridge the gaps in crit chance significantly via a Diamond Flask).

However when crit multi is 450% and you're getting 10 Barrage arrows in total on your Harbinger, the Opus is only equivalent to a ~300pdps Harbinger (less if the Harb has a crit multi affix).

In other words, if anyone here wants to determine whether they should switch from an Opus to a Harbinger, they should do the calculations instead of following general advice. Having said that, a switch to a 360pdps Harbinger (even if your crit multi is high and you have the max number of arrows) is not a significant enough upgrade. I'd suggest using the Opus until you farm up enough currency to get 400+pdps Harbingers since the Opus already is enough to crush content up to T15, and is even strong enough with high levels and good gear to take on T16/T17 content.
