Gear
Below is a Tunklab Gearplanner link that has been put together from the gear shown in the build video. This gear is not be min-maxed correctly but should give you a basic idea on how to get started.
Is there really that much benefit to procāing MS through Flurry rather than just casting MS itself? Large Quiver kind of seems like overkill between the +8 arrows you get from the Marksman tree and the unique bow, and if you have the unique bow and drop Large Quiver you keep the casting cost of MS very reasonable.
So does this actually improve DPS, or is it just a more interesting method of procāing MS?
I understand this is pretty hard to gauge since there is no DPS meter in game unfortunately.
What i noticed trying both is that it is very easy to keep 10 stacks sharpshooter with flurry (even with 2 out of 5) and near imposible to keep it with just multi.
And 10 stacks are a good damage buff ā¦ further more only the flurry way can take the āstrong pullā node without a real cost and damn that thing gives a huge buffā¦
Edit: after some test runs ā¦ i feel a lot better with the procced multis the damage seems a lot better! the additional strong pull multi seems to be brutal.
how exactly does ethernal arrows work with channeled skills?
Whats the mana cost of a channel? the initial or the āper secondsā part?
Thank you for this very nice build. I was trying a bow bleed build but without efficacy and duration, it just canāt compare to a warpath paladin.
I did want to point something out that I just discovered.
Cinderstrike Oil Coating comes up on the buff bar as bow mastery. You can see it quickly get up to 5 stacks and stay there.
The passive Barrage of Pain also comes up as bow mastery. I noticed that when I use Flurry (channeled) I see 1 stack of bow mastery. It comes up, stays 4 seconds and falls off, never to return until I stop channeling and start again. The tooltip says āUsing a bow attackā. I assume that means initiating an attack which only happens at the start of our channel.
I removed the point in Barrage of pain and confirmed that it no longer comes up.
Since we are pretty much 100% crit in a couple seconds, I know you were trying to achieve 100% crit multi for Flurry for those 6 points but unfortunately, I think you are only getting 20%. Perhaps there is a better use for those points.
Thanks again for the build though. Made it real easy to switch over with a little crafting and arenaās to level up a couple skills.
