I will be switching frenzy for puncture now that my ammy+Vitality Void lets me easily sustain blood rage.

Do we use the exact same 2.1 tree if we plan to run LA instead of TS?

Yes


I try Blasphemy on standard, and for end game it isn't the best support especialy if you are classic bow char(w/o Point Blank) but in early-mid game IMO it is ok.

Guys i am new in this build what aboute bandit quest ? in normal life thats normal what aboute cruel/merc ?

TS is so strong that I'm finding that I don't use puncture. I'm thinking about expanding the split arrow utility shot in its place to include increased rarity and increased quantity gems.

I'm running a half assed MF setup in the dried lakes, split arrow seems to kill stuff with the 4-link, COH,AM setup anyway

I have to say, I don't quite get the preference of TS over LA.

In a 4-link set up like:

TS-GMP-PPAD-FA
vs.
LA-GMP-Chain-PPAD

LA surely has less paper dps, but it one-shots mobs, whereas TS takes quite a bit longer to kill them.
I reckon that this effect will even get bigger as soon as I get a 5 or 6 link as only then will LA get more DMG-supports.

Sure, LA is useless against single targets, but with bow and armor, you have a potential of 2x 6-link setups anyway. Why not use a single target variant.

Am I missing something, or why are still prefering TS over LA?

Cheers

From second post:

"

BANDIT REWARDS:
NORMAL: Help Oak
CRUEL: Preferred: slay all three // Alternative: Help Oak/Kraitlyn
MERCILESS: Preferred: Help Kraitlyn // Alternative: Help Alira/Slay all"

The OP says that he would give us images of the updated skill tree, but i cant find them. Does someone know where to find them???

Cant wait to try this build!!! YUMMY!

I would then advice you to look on other forum thread, i'm pretty sure i've seen some Rain Blast build posted ^^

I'm in the exact same situation. I have TS on a 6L setup and it melts just about everything. My 5L Puncture was getting used once or twice per map, sometimes just because I was lazy and didn't feel like clicking on a monster again.

The issue I've seen is that in the rare situation TS does not kill an enemy quickly, there's a lot of other trouble going on - most likely, I'm running for my life because of some sort of horrifying physical damage vomit all over the screen. So yes, landing 1-2 Puncture shots in these situations helps and is better than nothing, but it's not a huge amount of damage because I can only fire once, maybe miss, then have to run again (probably doesn't help that I only have a 5L setup on Puncture and always forget I have to lead moving targets because I suck).

Anyway, after noticing NeverSink suggests in the first post, I decided to give Siege Balista a try in my 5L setup as my single target/omgwtfpoe skill and it's been doing well so far. Sheet DPS is actually almost as high as TS, although of course in practice it's not nearly that good as it doesn't have 5 explosions after each shot. But in the scenario above, when I'm running away like a pansy, I find it puts out more damage than I could with Puncture (mana also becomes an issue against a single target in that situation, so SB is great for that as well) - plus, the aggro draw is nice.
