Sorc.

Guys,

Currently playing Bow Zon for the first time. https://median-xl.com/char/SardonicsBowZon

I am trying to follow a few builds that have the same bow as myself. Now the damage is there, but what I am lacking is survivability. Is there a way to leech with an elemental build? What is the best way to sustain life with this build?

Quick question about empyrean touch. It turns items ethereal so if I were to use it on battlemaiden (sacred war scepter) it would take the base weapon dmg 38-52 and multiply it by 50% so it would be 57-78 and then apply all the min/max dmg, ed, ewd, etc. on top of that right?

You already have Life spark proc on your bow (lvl 6 = 6% life on striking)

To get more survivability you need to get more life and res. Also you can use

Solitude

Solitude
Mystic Orb

Right-Click to Apply
(helm only)
Adds your current mana percentage as Weapon Physical Damage
(Max +100% at full mana)
-25% Attack Speed
+20 Required Level

.
I think your problem is that all your gear is for phys ama.
Enchanced weapon dmg, life stolen per hit, max dmg - useless for elem build

25% but yes. It applies before ED so it's quite a big damagr boost.

Ok so leech works as a function of physical dmg done. Stag bows have no physical dmg so leech, min/max dmg, enhanced dmg and enhanced wep dmg won't work. Instead you want to focus on dex, innate ele dmg and pierce. The trade off here is that all your attacks (namely wyrmshot) will deal elemental dmg now and will scale with the pierce from your dragon lore. You will be hard pressed to find enemies that can resist you but your going to need some sustainable life regen so you don't die which is where life on kill is extremely useful for stag bow builds. Personally I use beads of the snake queen and 2x der nibel rings. Its also a good idea to stack up a little bit of res to counter the pierce from the bow (the pantheon 2 piece works in a pinch). Here's my bowzon you can use as a guide/template: https://median-xl.com/char/ophilia

Can someone share their expirience about great runes drop, please. Whats the average number of runs per rune.

Tried the void for the first time, but I can't find out what kills me.
I can sometimes tank inarius for a long time, about one blood ritual taking him down to about half life, but sometimes he just kills me.
What is his attack that I need to avoid?

I'd say you get 1 great rune out of fautz every 5 or so full clears. The drop rate might increase if you have multiple people in the game. If your farming for a rune you need right now your gonna be there a long time, its best to treat them as a happy bonus and trade for the ones you need.
