Would Rares be better than the other Unique options available? Maligaros and Shadows and Dust?

and is it worth giving up the Spell dodge?

the problem im having here is the massive lightning resist requirement to replace rings
and the 50+ int requirement from amulet

Im using HoA with AM 4 linked to a LA. would it be better to have AM linked to HoI?

I'm confused (and relatively new player.)

If I want to play pahtfinder as CI, do I have any good options to get frenzy charges?

If I go life, and don't have the leech gloves and instead pick up vaal pact, will bloodrage work sufficiently?

Hi Shinro,

A few things that you could look into.

You are using a drillneck which increases damage based upon pierce chance but then you don't use the pierce support gem in your LA setup or take pierce nodes on the tree. Consider swapping the drillneck for a signal fire and look to scale lots of weapon ele damage or change it for a good rare quiver with lots of crit and crit multi.

With regards to your skilltree consider speccing out of heavy draw and not getting the 2 4% life nodes below Thick skin. Just route from the top and grab one 4% and then the 10% node. Get the 4%'s last if not at all. You haven't gone into the herbalist cluster which would be an extra 20% life for 3 points. Primevil force is a brilliant cluster if you are scaling weapon ele damage at all. I would go into that along the top of it. Grab golems blood when you can along with the 2 point jewels. Consider arrow dancing as you have fully specced into acrobatics. Apsect of the Eagle tends to be an efficient 2 pointer.

A lot of damage comes from flasks. Look to get a diamond flask to hopefully get you close to the crit cap if you are not there now. An Atziri's Promise is a great cheap flask as it gives you DPS and some life leech for survival. A vinktars flask will give you a lot of extra damage and insane life leech. Try to get one that adds lightning damage to attacks or has lighning penetration. The leach from vinktars is so insane you are basically immortal providing you are not one-shot or stunned. You shouldn't need a mana flask as you have a fair amount of mana leech. Consider getting a basalt flask or jade flask to boost defenses if you still need to.

For single target try to get a 5-link up and running. Consider a barrage setup. It is definitely the best single target damage skill for bows with the disadvantage that it works best when you are close to the target. For bosses ideally try to have vinktars and atziri's up so you can leech through any damage you take.

If you are not resist capped at merciless GET RESIST CAPPED!

Be careful what map mods you roll. -max resistances will wreck you. Elemental weakness and damage mods can also increase one-shots if you are not over capped on your resistances.

Lastly if you are not using Path of Building give it a go and import your character into it. It will let you simulate gear upgrades. Tells you what your dps increase or decrease will be by changing passives on your tree for all your different skills. Let you change skill gems around so you can see what setups work best. In short it allows you to play around with your build to maximise it without having to blow any ccy ingame. It's really good!!!!!
