Key Mechanics
Piercing Shot: The primary projectile pierces through enemies, making it excellent for clearing packs.
Secondary Projectiles: Upon reaching the target location, it splits into secondary projectiles that spread out in all directions, dealing significant area damage.
Projectile Speed: Increased projectile speed ensures that the secondary projectiles cover a larger area, hitting more enemies.
Gear and Weapon Recommendations
Bow: Choose a bow with high physical damage, increased attack speed, and critical strike chance. Added elemental damage, particularly lightning or cold, can significantly boost your damage output.
Quiver: Look for quivers that provide additional arrow, increased critical strike chance, and increased elemental damage.
Armor: Prioritize evasion gear with added life, resistances, and critical strike multiplier.
Jewelry: Amulets and rings with added elemental damage, life, resistances, and mana leech are ideal.
Passive Skill Tree
Focus: Invest in nodes that increase projectile damage, attack speed, critical strike chance, and critical strike multiplier.
Keystones: Consider using keystone passives such as Point Blank (for increased damage at close range) and Acrobatics (for increased evasion).
Playstyle and Tips
Mobility: Use movement skills like Blink Arrow or Dash to maintain distance from enemies and reposition quickly during combat.
Positioning: Aim Tornado Shot at dense packs of enemies to maximize the effectiveness of the secondary projectiles.
Auras: Utilize auras like Hatred (for added cold damage) and Herald of Ice (for added cold damage and shatter effects) to boost your damage.
