Sorry if i didnt see thsi answered in the past 50 pages ;) But, Windforce. What are ur thoughts about it? Personally i really like it, the tornadoes a grand. And since movement speed has been removed from estatic, you get 30 movement speed from the bow.

no doubt the ms and proc are cool, but the problems are:

  • the dex scaling on it is 0.11 compared to reflex's 0.15. To give you some perspective, it means that at 5000 dex (common lategame value), windforce would give you 550ewd when reflex would give you 750ewd.

  • its also a slower base: you'd need 360ias to reach max breakpoint instead of 292.

  • windforce reaches 350max dmg at lvl 140 (which is similar to a common 200ed-300max craft), but the moment you find a 200ed-100min-300max craft, it instantly dethrones this very rare SSU. thats why i didnt mention it in the weapon list. its very very hard for a rw or unique to compete with crafts: theyre too good.

  • it doesnt have 200ed and only has 40lvl worth of mo space. so if you want to cap ed on it (which you always should), it means you'd lose some ds and max dmg.

So you put for the bow MO "ed 195" with a link to a picture that i have no idea what it means, nor what that means. tot he point the bow as 195 enhanced damage before gems?

Use MO(Mystic Orb) on your bow until you have atleast 195% ED(Enhanced Damage) (before any gems). If you have 195% ED then it's not worth to MO another ED, better to use those "levels" on another MO.

what yeahsper said.

its simply to show the dmg value of each 1ed. going from 195ed to 200ed isn't worth the +4 lvl spot. better off using a max dmg mo instead.

I’m currently sitting at lvl 121 with a beautifully crafted reflex bow and honorifics or good SU’s or SSU’s for every single piece. I can farm duncraig for xp, but I die frequently there and can’t kill the last boss yet.

My question is regarding my merc and what the best one to use for survivability is. Its painfully obvious to me that he cant tank explosions no matter what gear I equip him with, so what should I use for a new sidekick?

Also, thanks for the guide, i started playing this game less than 2 weeks ago, and this character has been my most successful yet!

Referring to my last post:

I just re-read and saw that you recommend abjurer as your end game merc, but not to bother until then. I am willing to go a little slower to die less often than I do right now, does that merc have the CC needed to help me out with that? The shapeshifter makes things much easier when he stays alive, but it doesn't seem like that's possible because all of the explosions they have in duncraig, which is where I have been farming at.

A merc will not rly help you die less in dunc. as you said, he will die as easily as you.

once you get enough dmg (200ed-300max craft), id say its just a matter of: 1) not teleporting into packs, 2) to not walk where the barrels are, 3) and to constantly move and stack a bit of fire resist against assur (ammy/rings/quiver MO's).
