How to Play this build

I wonder if the new bow, Dragonsong, would make a good fire version of this. I assume itās weaker since the level requirement is lower but who knows. I believe in you Boardman.
edit: completely off topic but I feel like my username has become even cooler. EggBagelā¦yea, it has a certain ring to it.
Would probably work in this setup too and Dragonfire the proc has a much higher base and added dmg effectiveness compared to icicles. Though it would probably work much better with cinder strike because of the buffs to fire skills and bcos Dragonsongās proc is on crit (not on bow attack like icicles) so can proc off burning daggers and volatile flasks.
Dang, I didnāt even notice this part, I doubt crit vulnerability would kick in often during a quick spam to clear mobs. It probably would work better the way you described but flurry/multi is so satisfying, Iāve made so many like this.
Thank you! I really wanted to see it in action, I was hoping it would have a longer range or be a fire projectile, itās interesting but I think Iāll skip it for now since Iāve seen it.
yipā¦ Range does seem a little too close for a ranged characterā¦ Still probably needs some theorycrafting and work to see if its possible to have a really good firebowmageā¦
Yea, it does, was hoping ādragon fireā was a projectile not ādragon breathā which I feel is a more fitting name. Still, glad you showed me because I was planning on making a whole new character before even seeing it in action because I love my rogues that much.
From experience, itās not really an issue. Sometimes you get a string of procs close together & itās awesome, sometimes you donāt (due to the ~34% chance to proc on crit) and youāll feel sad.
Flurry/Multishot seems to be consuing MUCH mroe mana since the patch, or maybe returning less mana. Am I the only one noticing this? I didnāt see anything mentioned in patch notes, but Iām actually running out of mana on bosses, which wasnāt an issue before.
Yea, I was just hoping for something that goes offscreen or to the edge at least. Marksman may be my favorite because I enjoy seeing the widescreen devastation. If you make a projectile go the distance and add in some special effects, my heart is won over.
Flurry is returning less due to the lower attack speed. The devs are aware of it & going to fix it (presumably by either reducing the cost for the Multishot proc or increasing the amount of mana you get back).
It gives 4-7% base crit to all fire skills too and you get some crit chance travelling for marksman so wonāt have to worry about that for cinderstrike atleast.
Does anyone have any other recommendations on how to level Marksman? Iāve tried the flurry/multishot method and it just feels so bad. The mana sustain is awful even when Iām doing my best to aim it, I just donāt find it fun.
