What do you think I could use my next upgrade on? I'm not particularly rich, and my budget is about 110c.

Also in my tree, I have yet to path into 2 jewel sockets. I suspect they're vital, and I'm planning on doing it ASAP, after I reach Coldhearted Calculation for +20 Int so I can finally respec out of my +30 int node.

I have about 170 fusings to work with if I were to 5L my bow.

I have 2 jewels in socket right now in passive tree.

First jewel:
16% Increased Lightning Damage
18% Crit Multi to Lightning Skills
14% Fire resistence
12% to Fire and Cold resistence

Second jewel:
8 - 13 Cold Damage to Bow ATK
3 - 34 Lightning to Bow ATK
7% Inc. Atk Spd if dealt Critical Strike recently
2% Dodge chance if been hit recently

My resistences are 80 / 76 / 76. But capped at 75.

I'm having a bit of trouble surviving against bosses on T7 T8 and some T6 maps.
I usually get 2-3 hit. Maybe I could swap my jewels around for some % max hp?
And possibly more flat HP on Rings / Ammulet

What do you think?

I have a quick question. What's the purpose of Mirage Archer support?

I watched a video on a build that utilized this gem, and he basically said it helps him clear while all he has to do is run around?

Wondering if that was your intention.

Edit: I watched one of your recent videos, looks like Mirage Archer just helps a lot with clear speed, and possibly helping out when you need to two shot a pack?

I can see why it's useful. But is it possible if you still give a brief explanation on your choice here?

It basically attacks while moving which is something very few skills can do. It also cleans up stragglers not dead on the initial volley allowing you to clear faster.

At high gear levels you will already one shot packs so there is really no better gem than mirage as the 6th.

Obviously, you can replace it with a dps gem if you prefer. I am giving you what I believe is the most optimal version of elemental bow raider with this thread but your build is not going to suck if you swap 1-2 gems around.
