Lightning Bowazon Wtf

[:1]I'm thinking of making a lightning bowazon.

I've made all kind of weird bowazons such as Frostmaiden (C/F Arrow), Firemaiden (F/E Arrow), some other Strafe/GA builds with Brand, Wrath, Faith, poison build with Trang gloves, bramble and the unique crossbow with the % change to cast low res, etc.

So, now I'm thinking to make a bowazon with Lightning dmg.

I've no idea on the gear or skills. Probably few things.

Bow: I'm thinking of Skystrike Edge Bow upgraded to the elite version of the current bow (Adds 1-250 Lightning Damage, 30 ias, other useful bonuses).

Belt: Thunder God (Adds 1-50 L dmg, str, vit)

Amulet: Highlord (1-30 L dmg, ias, ds)

Helm: Griffon with jewel ias/all res, L facet (10-20% L skill/ -L res)

Inventory: Anix, 39 sc's 1-21~81 L dmg (39-800+ L dmg)

Armor: I could put armor of the whale 80+ life with 4 1-100 L dmg jewels or 4 5/x L facets (4-400 or 4-296 and 20% L skill)

She should have around 2k pure Light dmg. At least I hope so.|||Good luck

some ideas:

Wrath-bow gives a little (only little) more lightning damage (41-240). Other mods are better too. Harmony-bow is other good alternative. That Skystrike is not bad either, as you can socket it.

Upped WWS (with two facets) is not bad either.

Dream-helmet does 1-648 lightning damage, so its better than Griffon.|||Dream is nice, but expensive and in the server I'm playing it will takes about.. a-a-lot of time to found one. WWS's DS doesn't work with elemental dmg, and the phisical dmg is too little. There is no ias, and the amplify dmg also doesn't work with elemental dmg. I like your idea of using wrath, because I recently "write" one in MB and there is no hero to use it on.

Hellrack Colossus Crossbow best fits for this build, but all crossbows have lack of ias.

I read before for a "slow target" based build with blackhorn visage (20% slow target), sp web (10% ST) and wrath, but anyway it doesn't have much dmg. On MB it does 20-47 dmg and even on a dexterity bowazon with good inventory (max/ar/life charms), fortitude etc. it does less than 2000 dmg.

My opinion is that "Wrath" is the stupidest rw in the game. I just made one to see what it looks like, because I've never seen once before and it sucks. Only the CBF mod and the chances to cast Life Tap/Decripify are pretty good.

Anyway can you give me some more ideas in what build I can use "Wrath" and to have a good amount of damage as well.

Edit: I've a dilemma:

1) To put 2 soj's (1-12 L dmg), or 2 Wisp Projectors, counting on the 10% Chance to cast lvl 16 lightning, or Wisp + Soj.

2) Put ormus 15% L + L facet instead of armor of the whale with 4 facets.|||Well getting a jewelers armor of the whale is truly going to take forever to shop for. I just tried to shop for a artisans light plate of the squid, and after 12+ hours, I STILL hadn't found it. That by going in and out of anya's portal to reset anya's items, so it's pretty time efficient, yet I didn't get close to what I wanted.

Good luck!|||Quote:

Wisp Projectors offer far and away more damage through the lightning proc. Just be ware that when lightning does proc, it does have the NHD property that might interfere with your arrows.

You might also check out rare rings with the Shock suffix: Rings(50)[1 min][11-23 max]. They could be slightly more useful than SoJs if they have other tasty affixes on 'em.



The +spell damage on Ormus doesn't work with ranged physical attacks, but the -enemy res mod works just fine, so facets are a solid choice for both that stat and their lightning damage. Just be aware that the spell damage will cause the LCS to show incorrect damage (higher than what's real), unless you go hit something in melee! So, 4 facet armor all the way. Or a cheaper option, get 4 jewels ___of Thunder which can have up to 100 max lightning damage.
