    Just a heads up it might be a good idea to hold off on trying pconc right now. The quiver jewels are insanely expensive right now. Not 100% sure why they spiked.
    I did see Ruetoo started leveling a pconc character yesterday so maybe that is part of it

      For what its worth - with just a quiver with +2 alone and the passives that give 100% effect total + the widowhail, im getting like +8 levels already so -
      you're PROBABLY fine without the jewels if you cant find some rn

      @@MorbidAnimosity 100%. Completely agree with you I was just mostly excited about absurd quiver scaling.
      Like you can still get insane double magntidue damage jewels for cheap and really silly triple jewels like this

      I’ve been tracking them on trade site and they’ve been very expensive for over a week. I think jungroan used a widowhail quiver bonus maxing build for vine arrow before that got nerfed so that could be the cause

    also tri elemental bow you can get more flat ele from quiver scaling than a bow can roll realistically especially for the cost.

    Might be worth considering that utility stuff that gets ruined by proj speed like eye of winter could just be on a weapon swap, right?

    Wonder if this would work with like lightning arrow just for huge flat phys/cold on quivers. Then just add flat cold runes into widowhail.

    • @poopbutts
      @poopbutts  20 годин тому

      So I actually think that will be strong and I want to try that once I have a really good quiver. But seriously, you will need a super good quiver for that to make sense with good suffixes and at least 2 high tier flat damage prefixes.
      I leveled with the flat ele runes but if you plan on going crit I would definitely use the crit multi soul cores since they literally multiply your crit bonus or the spirit soul cores as well (super pricey though).

      with the current low-ish power from rare bows I would be inclined to say yes if you have a high roll on the widowhail.

    Herald of ice scaling on your weapon damage basically rules it out no? Even with great flat damage rolls on your quiver it's not going to hit hard enough to chain poison shatters.

    • @poopbutts
      @poopbutts  19 годин тому

      So as far as I know it uses your attack damage which means herald of Ice would get all the flat from the quiver multiplied by the quiver effect just like I do. Now, the quiver flat values do not go super high so that still could end up not being enough damage.
      Between Herald of Ice, Herald of Thunder, fiery death or something else there has to be a way to make the clear acceptable. I'll see how it goes once I get into maps with a little more denser areas.
