What's better for single target dps?

Also, what do you think about multistrike+dual strike? I find it bit hard to control cyclone on a single target when I have to dodge things (shaper, duh)

I.e. many bow builds claims they are uber elder viable, but they require like 50Ex input into DPS to make the fight viable ("kill it fast or die").

Looking to respec my character with approx 10-15ex worth of budget into an uber elder farmer. Do you deem this build viable then?

Is the pathfinder just for flask uptime? Why not ascendaet with pathfinder/elementalist (or something else)?

yea, that's the problem, I whirl too fast :D I found shaper to be easier with dual strike, because I can just circle him and dish out dps without constantly trying not to whirl in the way of his skills

One more thing, what is Overflowing Chalice for? I killed minotaur and had decent flask uptime throughout the fight without it. DPS boost from base sulphur flask is about 8% for me. I usually have basalt or stibnite for instead.

The full flask setup. What do you think?

Edit: and yes, life flask is quite useful, at least for lab runs

uber elder fight is about knowing the mechanics. it is really really hard to do this fight on the first try with any build. if you know the mechanics, the fight becomes a lot easier. this build is suited well for it and definitely more viable than most 5k hp bow builds because you can actually tank some hits.

with 10-15 ex budget you can kill uber elder with it without too much experience.

i did it a lot of times this league and never failed. But i'd consider myself an experienced player and i have more than 100 uelder kills already with different builds. if you don't know the fight yet, dont expect to do it on your first try.
