Dont listen to this bullshit build. Act 2 is pain with no skills it will take forever to lv up and fight basic monsters. Default bow skill is strong my ass.
Thats the most atrocious levelling I have ever experienced. I had quite a few Exalts invested into levelling gear. This build just sucks while levelling. Rain of arrows is DOGSHIT. Autoattack doesnt get new Sockets it sucks too with only 2 sockets. Only thing that deals damage is Snipe and clearing with that also sucks ass.
Guys dont ever level with Bows. Its horribly expensive and 10 times slower as Crossbow or Staves!
Looks really fun. I want to transition away from my witchhunter grenadier and do sth more active. I guess the gems you use are in the order of priority? Am lvl 53 right now, does it make sense to transition now or should I wait?
im lvl 49 and you are only 46 and yet i cant fully copy your skill tree without running out of points, what am i missing?
Following the written guide, respecced my guy to this at lvl 45 and my dmg is completely garbage with rain of arrows. I have the gems done correctly, my freezing salvo, bow is not great but it's a lvl 39 rare and I'm doing like nothing – what am I missing? freezing salvo tooltip is 199 dps, snipe is 495, and rain of arrows is 226, bow shot is 147
telling people to level with bow default attack should be a war crime when the lightning combo exists, gotta be a troll unless you enjoy bossfights taking 1 hour
would this work on a deadeye ranger?
How did you manage to put sockets extra on bowshot? icannot createt he gem and is a basic attack skill so i cannot use the jewellers, thanks
ive tried using a lesser jewel on the basic bow shot but it wont work… what am i missing?
to any1 feeling like they dont have dmg around act 3:
i started my adventure as crossbow merc and instantly got drawn to bleed, i tried everything to make it work, either i missed something or the crossbow is just not the greatest for bleed. so i decided to go bow. now the bow is much better, but this build feels lacking, atleast for me, ive currently just swicthed over to it at the final stage of act 3 and ive found that using the basic bow skill and rain of arrows is the best pairing when u pair armor break and poison. by act 3 u shouldve gotten a jewelers orb to increase a skill slot on ur gems, this increases the basic skill aswell even when u use it on another skill. so with that envenom, corrosion and bursting plague make the basic bow skill insane, paired with rain of arrows with splinter, pin and conc effect. this has helped my ad clear a lot. salvo, snipe and escape shot i havnt seen a massive impact from. but looking at hopw everything works this build does make sense and i can see how itll work when all the pieces are available. but if you are having a dmg issue, atleast around act 3 since that is when i started this build, then i suggest this. other than that thanks for build video homie, saved my ahh
Im an avid bleed enjoyer in any game that has it so ive been brewing my build up with shock since its a 20% extra damage not sure if its good though
Does chance to inflict aliments affect bleeding chance ?
it's very painful early, like how do you get 100% to bleed? with the bleed gem my basic shot had 72% basically taking out chain. boss damage is also abysmal. my friend with lightning arrow did definetely waaaaaaaay more dmg.
The bleed really doesn't scale well, Act 4 is absolute menace with this build. Unfortunately this is even less viable than a my initial crossbow bleed build from which I respecced.
I wouldn't recommend this…
build guide link is down
Does bleed only deal damage with the highest bleed on an enemy like poe1 or can you have multiple bleeds dealing damage? None of the bleed info mentions only having 1 bleed so I wasn't sure.
Still using Salvo after the nerf??
Love the build. What crossbow skills would you reccomend for a bleed build ?
When I saw Snipe was 100% crit and had extra crit bonus I decided to do a blood mage snipe bleed build making use of the free crit bonus from the ascendancy and potentially the ele bleed node. Glad to see it’s performing well
hey bro, so everyone is playing GEM MASTER, granade build due to fact that in gem master u can have the same support gem for both skills – not only one. I guess? Im lvl 35 and thinking about rerolling. shitting with nades its not my way to play.. I got interested in your bow build. Does it really work? did u test it already?
i started this, it has quite high dps and it's very fun. but it's also sad we don't have any bleed ascendacy in ea. i hope we don't fail in endgame lol
Was Smooth leveling Jay? Also whats the Act 1 or Act 2 do you recommend?
Idk, bleeds so far imo, don't seem to be worth it, atleast yet
I rolled ranger but really bricked my build by not reading tooltips properly and it's too expensive to respec so Im going to go with a new character with your build and see if I have better luck 🙂
