Critical Strikes Bow A/R

    • New

    Decided to pick up the: Anniversary Bow "Whisper" during this years event. I have always been a fan of cranking up the Critical Strikes chance and tearing into some enemies! I always make sure to have a 'Condition Ripper' Hero with me just in case I get blinded as well.

    I am absolutely new to making my own Builds, so I am sure there will be plenty of room for improvement as well as several different iterations of this idea. I am going to post my initial Build idea here and am very open to any types of feedback that could help refine said idea.:ass:

    Also, I am planning to use this Build for general Questing and Missions with a party of heroes (non meta, still have several to unlock on my Assassin)

    Hey! :) This works, but

    - it's totally pointless to use volley if you got barrage in your build, better take something else, for example an interrupt or critical defenses for much better defense...

    - as a non-melee, I wouldn't use IAU as 3rd pve-skill, there are much better pve-only-skills (for example Technobabble to daze a castergroup and hit/interrupt them all several times with barrage or just EBSoH for much more damage).

    - you should get enough energy to go for another inscription (15^50/15ench) and another bow grip (for example warrior for more damage or ranger, if you really struggle with energy), but you should never need ench 20% since you crit so often, that this will never run out during combat even without.

    The rest is ok imo, so have fun & good hunting! ;)

    +5 energy inscription wouldn't be my first choice for dealing dmg 😉

    Thank you both for the input!

    After running Tahnnakai Temple with that build I will say, energy management is nowhere near an issue (of course xD)

    So, I absolutely agree that changing up the weapon mods (besides Zealous maybe?) and having more of a 15^50 and perhaps a +30 or 20/20 mod would crank up the dmg output

    Also, yea I definitely need to swap out Volley, I thought the 1 sec downtime of Barrage would be reason for a second attack.

    I really really like the idea of Technobabble because that AoE Caster Interrupt sounds very very nice, and as you said being on the backline IAU is next to useless.

    Overall, this build did perform extremely well (not as efficient as it could) and it melted mobs.

    I just flag my melee heroes to get aggro, send them towards a wall or something to ball as much as possible, and rain death from above!

    Good fun! :D

    The 30hp on Bow shouldn't be needed. Since energy is no problem soulreaping mod is not needed as well. So strength +5 for 5% armor pen would be my choice for maximum Dmg output. 20/20 String is the best choice here also as you mentioned.
