Hi, can i check if dying sun is better or is an atziri promise flask better in this case, and why is that.

Atziri promise *might* be slightly better for damage, but I prefer Dying Sun, because it makes Point Blank more reliable on single target, and also helps with clear (and overall good feel of the build imo).

hi, how about precision VS war banner? i mean we wouldn't want a banner which increase physical damage taken eh?.. if reflect phy even with our little physical damage might jz kill us? haha

Hmm, yeah, Precision definitely looks very good in the PoB. I will be updating guide later today (if I will fix my internet) and I think I will replace banner with precision.

So, as promised in my last reply, updated the post:

- Replaced War Banner with Precision
- Took Throatseeker, Infused and Fervour nodes on tree
- Replaced Phase Run with Frostblink, and added Culling to both Frostblink and Blink Arrow
- Cleaned up PoB
- Removed link to my Betrayal (or Synthesis) character

This increased the overall damage by quite a bit (4.5M to around 6M), what is really really nice.

Main thread is already updated with new PoB.

Might be a stupid question, but I notice that you have 5 power charges and frenzy charges enabled in PoB, so I assume this is a snapshot of power while clearing. You'd untick these for boss DPS I assume? I don't see a Power Charge on Crit setup or a Frenzy, so unless we sat and hard channeled there's no way to get them while bossing, right?

Yeah you would need to channel before fight, and then channel for a bit to maintain them every so often.

hi, im pretty much into the end game area, can u give me some advise on what are the items i can change so i can bump up my damage to the max?

Something for consideration, as I don't yet have access to Aspect of the Spider, I've been running Flesh and Stone as a defensive reservation. Entirely for Sand Stance, enemies closeby being blinded and 10% less damage from non-nearby enemies is pretty sweet.

Also, another question, there's a div card for a 6L Imperial Bow. Slightly less base attack speed (1.45 vs 1.5) but also has the ele damage with attacks implicit. Do you still recommend the Thicket Bow?

is there anything i can do to improve? ive been having a lot of trouble as this is my first ranger-type build (around 50 deaths lvl 76)

I wanted to get your opinion on this before I do it but would it make the build worse if I change out projectile weakness for elemental weakness? Also I was thinking about changing wave of conviction for storm brand and adding a power charge on hit to that setup. What are your thoughts on this curse on hit setup?

proj weakness is about 5% more dps over ele weakness. and sure you can change wave of conviction out but you lose the -25% cold resist buff. you could maybe use frost bomb but wave will probably feel better. you don't need curse on hit as we have generation on kill and while channeling. a bit of waste, imo

Forgive me if I am wrong about this, I'm fairly new to POE. In your Leveling section, you have Shrapnel Shot and Volley, but I do not believe these are available for Shadow.
