In case I missed it in the 260;some odd pages can we start theory crafting the life version? Is there a reasonable alternative to kaoms so I don't have to weapon swap on bosses? Any help in the way of tree ideas or gearing would be much appreciated. I've spent well over 1200 ex on this build and would like to salvage it best I can. Thanks ~Old

you can have 7k life with belly and starkonja + 20% damage reduction barrage build with 90-100k rotc dps.

full conversion idea + global penetration idea is coming from pvp;

history
pvp scene was a bit more populated than it is now, so we were playing very frequently vs each other.

with introduction of 100% elemenetal damage conversion talismans(100% of X damage taken as Y damage implicits), in pvp penetration gems started to be useless. when you deal light damage and use lightning penetration gem, those talismans converts that damage to for example fire by 100%, so your penetration gem was becoming useless.

so i decided to convert damage to 100% elemental damage(instead of dealing pure one ele type that i combine with penetrate gem), add put every "more damage" multiplier gem in 6l, get really high X-Y damage and stack global penetration. people were doing tornado shot builds with 6l eva chests around those days. barrage wasn't even popular.

blast's touch

i was using hrimsorrow first, then switched to signal fire.
my build has been always life base with kaoms or leg kaoms, so this build started as a life based build. it was unefficient cause it was life based.
i dont have pve mindset much, i'm just good with numbers and calculations, BST took full conversion idea, revamped tree for CI and pve usage according to his taste, apparently CI was capable of doing what i could do with 1500ex build just with 500ex. it was a great idea. since baker did in beta, nobody dared to play CI archer seriously. he supported his CI idea with really great streaming and guide support. here we have most popular bow build at the moment.

now it's nerfed.

life?

so, no worries this build works really well with life build too, my char has 7.3k life with belly, i have 8.8k+ life with leg kaoms.

it's not my thread, it's blasting's thread, so i won't be doing any ads of what i do, and what i do not. i can just say that, dont use rats when you are making a life build, stick with belly, use starkonja. get 160% life at least from tree and jewels. it's way cheaper also. it wasnt a good idea to go life build back then, after 3.0, everybody has to consider converting the build to life it seems.
