Hello,
First thank you for providing this detailed guide. I've always wanted to try a bow build and i think i'll give this one a go. I have a few questions about the skills you used when you started this league. - What support gems are more important to get first? Could you provide a step by step gem progression? - What skill should i use for single target while leveling? Bow builds often seem to struggle with single target at lower levels, so i'll take any advices ! (assuming i start from zero, which means that i haven't got any uniques/leveling gears) Thank you ! |

" You should devote every resource to first get a storm cloud then a tabula rasa. I have gotten to level 88 on barely anything other than a tabula rasa and death's opus on several occasions. If you can not get to level 70 reliably and easily without detailed guidance then this build will be far too challenging to compose if your expectation is to do guardian/shaper level content. 1. LA + GMP + WED + pierce + added light + ICS Before fangs of frost: 2. Barrage + WED + ele focus + added light + ice bite + slower projectiles End game: 2. Barrage + WED + ele focus + added cold + ice bite + cold pen IGN: Arlianth Check out my LA build: 1782214 Last edited by Nephalim#2731 on Aug 28, 2017, 12:39:12 AM

Hey,
Been playing this build for a bit now and really enjoy it. What are your thoughts on the taming prismatic ring? You lose out on some hp and maybe flat lightning damage and what not but gain a ton of ele dmg %. In the videos you seem to do way more damage than i do even with this ring, any clue as to why that might be? Here is a link to my character: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Stanpey/characters Thanks for the guide and the continual updates/responses!! Also one more thing, elemental focus shows as alot more dps for me on LA over ICS. Should i use that instead or do you have a specific reason you prefer ICS?

" Hey, thank you for the fast answer. I actually have a lot of items available and i could rush to endgame easily but i love to do it the hard way. Have a nice day |

" The taming has always been a terrible item since it's inception. With no ailment stacks it has only slightly more dps than the following ring and no life to compensate. It is also 200 chaos on harbinger. If you use focus on LA then you will not shock and more importantly not shatter with herald of ice making your clear speed expoentially worse. LA is not about dps, it's about coverage (gmp and arrow stacking and aoe propagation (innate chain and herald of ice procs).

is the all res from belly needed, or could we have a 2nd opus for single target and wear a kaoms

" The all res is not vital. Koam's is a great option if you can afford the loss of sockets and get LA links elsewhere either as an offhand or a pseudo 5 link such as tfist or tempest. IGN: Arlianth Check out my LA build: 1782214 Last edited by Nephalim#2731 on Aug 28, 2017, 11:57:14 AM
