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.

Concerning phys reflect, I run them all the time with zero issue. Am I missing something?

To be honest I just re roll reflect maps. With winter spirit, the amount of physical damage the build outputs is very small. So it's possible but I don't want players to die intermittently from generalized advice.

Subbing in phys2light will also basically grant immunity to phys reflect.

Fair enough, thanks.

I just ran a phys reflect and indeed it does not do barely any damage on LA since most of it is converted via LA+spirit of winter but it will still kill you on barrage without p2l.
