IMPORTANT
Use your bow setup in Weapon Set II because we use Rigwald's Ferocity. If you use it in Weapon Set I, the build will be much weaker.
Equipment
Weapon
As much physical damage on the bow as possible and as many levels to projectile skills/attack skills as possible. Nothing else matters
Runes you will want either double runes of
Fenumus' Rune of Agony or have one be a
Talisman of Thruldana to help with map clear.
Quiver
Cadiro's Gambit will be best in slot for mapping. For bossing, feel free to use a normal quiver with the following stats if you don't think you have enough damage.
Prefix:
- Physical Damage to Attacks
- %Damage of Bow Skills
Suffix:
- +2 Levels of Projectile Skills
- % Attack Speed
Helmet
We use
Constricting Command command in this build. It is likely the most overpowered Unique Item in Patch 0.3 because of the Surround Clusters on the Skill Tree. YOU NEED TO HAVE THE LAST LINE SAY 5 FEWER ENEMIES! Anything below that is not worth it.
If you can't afford it/don't want to use it, use an Energy Shield Helmet and run
Subterfuge Mask on the skill tree.
Body Armour
Prioritize as much Energy Shield and Evasion as possible. Also try to get as much Resists as possible. Spirit is not required
Gloves
Hand of Wisdom and Action is going to be the best option for a while because of how efficient it is. You can also use a Rare Glove with Triple Flats (Phys, Lightning, Fire, or Cold). If rolled well enough, it will be better than
Hand of Wisdom and Action.
If you don't want to use
Original Sin, feel free to use
Plaguefinger. It will likely have a lower damage ceiling, but it is a much cheaper alternative.
Socket your gloves with
Courtesan Mannan's Rune of Cruelty.
Boots
Pretty straightforward - as much Energy Shield and Resistances as possible. As high Movement Speed as possible.
Amulet
Serpent's Egg is required in my opinion. Without it, you will not be able to sustain Frenzy Charges well enough.
For single target,
Idol of Uldurn is Best in Slot. Feel free to swap it in if you feel like you need more damage - it will allow you to get 3
Vine Arrow.
Annoint
Leeching Toxins.
Rings
Get as much flat damage as possible. Physical, Cold, Lightning, Fire, are all good. Get as much resist as possible - especially if you are using
Original Sin.
Belt
Darkness Enthroned (Gloves Version) with 2x
Courtesan Mannan's Rune of Cruelty will be Best in Slot for Damage. Otherwise, use a
Headhunter.
Jewels
This build uses a
Controlled Metamorphosis with a Medium-Large Ring on the right side of the tree. It also uses a
From Nothing for
Oasis.
For the Rare Jewels, prioritize the following stats in this order:
1. Magnitude of Ailments
2. Ailments Deal Damage % Faster
3. Energy Shield %
