1 to 75 Rogue to Marksman Transitions to Bow Mage | Leveling Guide | 0.8.3E

Video



Summary

  • This Video is a Leveling Guide to get you on your way as a Rogue that wants to master into the marksman mastery and do tons of endgame damage with huge AoE! This build can start out slow so I definitely recommend using another character to farm both the unique bow required at level 70 and for gear to make the early levels go faster!

Main Interactions

  • Stacking tons of hits to proc as many icicles as possible. Stacking Spell And cold damage as a marksman!

How to Play this build

  • Shift around while channeling flurry which will proc multishot and both will do tons of hits with all hits having a chance to proc Icicles which hit for huge damage, Pierce, and travel 2 screens! This build comes together at level 70 once you can wear the Required Unique bow.

Rating

  • Leveling 9/10
  • Gearing 8/10 (1 Unique Needed, farm it on Alt First)

Boardman - I have run this up to 40 with no issues so far. Question - when does multi-strike become viable. Currently it’s not worth using since Flurry out performs it by a mile even on mobs. Am I missing something. Followed the guide to the letter but I feel like I am missing something.

He’s using Flurry to proc Multishot, not manually using it.

Thanks Llama.

Yeah as Llama said using flurry channeled and proc multistot as you want as many projectiles as possible especially once you get to 71 and wear the reign of winter.

Hey there, I tried leveling with this guide but I struggle with mana sustain while using channeled flurry. How do you handle it?

You don’t lose mana if you hit your targets. If you shoot and don’t hit, you lose mana.
Therefore, you need to aim and not to spam Flurry. :wink:

Hello,

Level 34 so far i like it, but i removed the Multishop proc from Flurry, until i can manage mana.

Without it, i perform very well to my taste, can shot forever on a target and leech enough life to almost never need to move vs boss.

With Multishot, i kill faster the trash, but then i must wait and run around until mana is up, and while running i’m not shooting so no life leech neither, so overall i feel it’s way worst than without Multishot.

Not sure how to do it though, but mana is a big issue for me (ie, not enjoyable) with this build if done as Boardman21 does.

Also, i think about staying with Physical bow, not going the Unique 70 icestuff way, but something else, not sure yet.

Alternatives welcome, if you have ideas.
