I agree that we loose the shaper ring benefit, but would this reliably generate frenzy charges and also provide some life gain on hit as well for additional tankyness I strongly recommend not doing this. We already get a 25% chance to gain a Frenzy Charge on kill from Blood Rage which keeps as permanently at maximum Frenzy charges while mapping, and the amount of damage you'd lose for dropping your Shaper ring would make Mark of the Elder not worth it whatsoever. The life gain on hit would be nice but it's fairly minor considering we already have quite a bit of sustain. There's also much more efficient ways of doing this if you really want Poacher's Mark such as simply using a Gluttony belt.	Posted by SkillshotsOP on Oct 8, 2018, 7:40:43 PM Quote this Post

One more question regarding gems: between hypothermia, icebite, added cold damage support and increased critical strikes, which two do you suggest to be the strongest. Because icebite support is really nice for clearing trash mobs. So I was thinking what coloring to do with the bow, whether to do 4G,2R or 3G,2R,1B if 4G,2R whether to go with added cold or ice bite and hypothermia mandatory if 3G,2R,1B, swap hypothermia with icebite for clearing?

Increased Critical Strikes is the strongest out of the 4 due to damage consistency and you should ALWAYS use it, then Hypothermia is the next strongest at least for single target, but you're right that Ice Bite is stronger than Hypothermia for clear so if you want to swap them out in between clearing and bossing that's fine (I simply don't because Scourge Arrow usually oneshots packs either way so I didn't bother).

I am looking at the 121 points passive tree, it's different from your character tree. Should I follow your character's tree instead? Thanks!	Posted by wikiwika on Oct 8, 2018, 9:00:59 PM Quote this Post

No. My current character tree is for the 2nd version of my build (you can see it in the 2nd post of this thread) while the 121 point tree I included in my original guide is for the normal version, so stick to that.

does accuracy / hit to chance matter here?	Posted by naimhairix51 on Oct 8, 2018, 9:58:32 PM Quote this Post

That works? Of course it does -_- damn this game is complicated. So is there any reason you went for int/spell damage in scion area over attack speed then? This would also let you get the more efficient crit multi Last edited by Raggon on Oct 9, 2018, 4:09:56 AM	Posted by Raggon on Oct 9, 2018, 4:09:24 AM Quote this Post
