Any updates for 1.2? Or is this still viable?

Or should we try the reworked bow?

Working on it, recording untwinked ubers this time as well. Might take a while though. Much of this guide is outdated for 1.1, let alone 1.2. Ricochet is usable throughout the game now which should mean Curare is more viable as well. The FR buff gives us a skillpoint sink as well as buffing

more attractive. We'll have to see how the Lightning Fury set goes.

Basically the changes aren't insignificant but you'll still play the same - so if you want something new then yeah, play Bow/Trapsin/UHM Pally.

It's true, but my problem is that most of them are strong slots, so you're always giving something up. I think the only real option for a partial is

. IMO the boots should've been kept instead of something else, but maybe that makes it too easy.

if you can overcome -2% base block, maybe, but there's way better options thta don't have a massive penalty like that.

At a lvl 140 character, you're looking at a difference of about 4200 dex on 5% base block vs 7000 dex on 3%.
