FOR MORE SINGLE TARGET DPS USE LIGHTING ROD + ORB OF STORMS

Lose scattershot on ice shot and move to Lightning Rod when you get an additional projectile from bow and ascendancy

FAQ

Why am I dying?

- This build will take some deaths during difficult content, it's just the nature of the archetype.

- Use a rare body armor with Life, evasion, and resistances instead of the unique body armor

- Make sure you are taking as much evasion as possible

Where do you get lightning/Cold damage for Shock/Freeze?

You need added lighting damage for ice shot to shock and added cold damage for lighting rod to freeze

- Multiple sources

- Flat lighting/cold damage on our bow or quiver (i.e # to # Lighting damage or Lighting damage to attacks)

- Rings can roll Lighting/cold damage to attacks

- Unique Jewel "Against the darkness" (Damage as extra lighting damage or damage as extra Cold Damage)

Why do heralds use the opposite damage type (i.e Lighting on Herald of Ice and Cold on Herald of Thunder)

It creates a massive screen clear and allows you to not have to use the Polcirkeln ring for clear

Heralds are able to proc each other by doing the damage type of the other herald.

If Herald of ice does lighting damage it can shock, Herald of Thunder cannot shock.

When you kill a shocked enemy, it causes subsequent attacks to release lighting bolts. We shock with Herald of Ice, which is considered an attack, get the kill, release lighting bolts with further chains from Herald of Ice

Amulet Annointments

Mana Problems - Conservative casting

Cheap Damage - Heavy Ammunition

Evasion - Careful Consideration

Need Lightning Damage - Essence of the Storm

Need Cold Damage - Essence of the Mountain

Best in Slot - Tainted Strike

Cast on Gems - Same support setup either way

Use Cast on shock for better Boss/Single Target.

Use Cast on freeze if you want better map clear.
