Need help with Lightning Arrow Deadeye
|
Hey, everybody. In general, the problem is that I started to run out of mana abruptly. I have a jewel for 2% mana per kill and items that also give mana (screenshots below). But when I just reached the endgame and for example killed bosses or rares mana so quickly did not run out. Now it turns out if I don't kill mobs - I have no mana (because it is replenished only after the kill)
I Also have gain mana on kill and leech of physical attack damage as mana on my rings bow quiver and gloves https://imgur.com/a/H48i2vz - all my gear Last edited by Gost448#2723 on Jan 16, 2025, 12:34:17 PM Last bumped on Jan 16, 2025, 8:32:46 PM

Yeah those +10 lvl proj skill will certainly drive up the manacosts, while doing close to nothing for your dps.
Bowskills dont get much dmg from extra lvls and relative the increase of mana costs its not worth it. You can check that quite easily: In case you have a lvl20 lightning arrow gem (unmodified base lvl), grab a lvl10 gem instead and slot that in. Make sure both gems have exact same amount of sockets, so you can use all supports as you currently do. Leave everything else as is. If you do have extra sockets for your current LA gem and dont wanna waste currency on the lowlvl testgem, remove supports in both setup to make sure you dont end up comparing apples to oranges. Then compare dps and manacosts of both setups. |

" Right now I got lvl 19 skill gem of lightning arrow but in total lvl30 of skill |
|

Alright, check a lvl8 LA gem then, which would end up being a lvl19 gem if math serves me correctly.
Its just about removing the extra lvls for comparison, while making sure the gear/supports stay the exact same and therefore wont affect the dps/manacost at all. |

" OK will try this now - after your message was thinking about trying lvl8-10 gems |
|
" tried it with range of lvl 8-15 - works pretty bad cuz now I cant one shot packs of mobs because with lower skill I don't accumulate enough cold to freeze them and then herald of tunder. |
|
" I guess I just need to buy Thief's Torment for bosses |
|
" or actually my bad cuz I was running the wrong map - will do everything again and then test |
|
|
You´d be far better off buying a 300-350 physical dps bow and then test again.
Even 250 pDPS should be an upgrade. You current bow provides something like 100-120 pDPS and thats just a bad joke in endgame. |

" at the end using lvl10 gem (21 total) and for now its ok on mana |
