Elemental Hit - Ranged Slayer [3.14] | 4 mil. dps no flasks

We got hit with the nerf bat this league, but it's not so bad.

-Flesh and Stone mana reservation increase might mean you have to level precision a little less.

-Crusader explode chest changed from enemies you kill explode to chance to explode, so you might want ignited enemies' corpses are removed on kill from a medium cluster.

Asenath's Chant. That's it. Nothing too complicated here. We use Asenath's Chant to trigger sniper's mark, wave of conviction, and flammability. There's a .3 second delay between each one, so if you're attacking a boss be sure to attack frequently enough so that all 3 can be triggered and kept up

We want an elder or hunter chest with attacks have +# to critical strike chance. This in addition to one of our ascendancies will raise our base crit to a frankly absurd level. Our endgame chest should have enemies you kill explode too.

A tabula is fine until you can afford the upgrade.

Crafting the chest is relatively easy. Take an awakener's orb. Use it on a chest with enemies you kill explode (make sure that's the only Baran mod on there). And then use the awakener's orb on a 6 linked chest with attacks have +# critical strike chance (again make sure that's the only elder/hunter mod on there).

If you can get a chest with an additional curse, anoint your amulet with lava lash instead of whispers of doom.

Ideally, we'd have gripped hunter gloves with chance to intimidate on hit. However, some nice gripped gloves with life, accuracy, and resists on them are fine.

I crafted these by buying am ilvl 84 base and spamming resist and life essences.

Mods to look for are: life, resists, increased fire damage, critical strike multiplier, elemental damage with attacks.

If you can't get an Asenath's chant/anoint whispers of doom you may also want to look for curse enemies with flammability on hit.

Xoph's Blood anointed with whispers of doom.

Mods to look for: elemental damage with attacks, critical strike multiplier, bow attacks fire an additional arrow, life

Mods to look for: life, movement speed, and resists. You can also get elusive+tailwind boots for the higher end.

I crafted mine by essence spamming resistance essences.


Your abyssal jewel should have global crit multi and life.

Your bow is gonna be a lot of your big boss damage. +1 to socketed gems, +2 to socketed bow gems, and bow attacks fire 2 additional arrows. You also want some crit multi and ele/fire pen, but that isn't as big a deal as the other mods. + to levels is a more multiplier for elemental hit, which is why we're trying to scale it.


I used a death's opus until I could afford to craft the endgame upgrade.


To craft this, I bought a base with +2 to socketed bow gems, and bow attacks fire an additional arrow. Then I multimodded with cannot roll attack modifiers to fill the suffixes. Literally every prefix bows can have save 1 is an attack modifier. The one that isn't is +1 to level of socketed bow gems. Once the suffixes have been filled on a bow with +2 to socketed bow gems and bow attacks fire 2 additional arrows AND cannot roll attack modifiers is crafted on, Slam it. You are guaranteed to hit +1 to socketed gems.

We use Flesh and stone, summon skitterbots, and precision.

Precision gives critical strike chance and accuracy. We need critical strike chance to scale our very high base crit and accuracy to hit things.

Summon Skitterbots is about a 30% multiplier for a damage. Elemental hit deals 10% more for each elemental ailment affecting the enemy, and shock increases an enemy's damage taken by 10%. So we get a flat 20% more+however much the shock does in addition to things like sniper's mark or intimidate.

Flesh and Stone is defensive. We use it to take less damage from attacks that aren't nearby and blind the ones that are. In addition to our dodge chance, we won't be getting hit a lot, and taking fairly little damage.

Dash-second wind.

Pretty simple. You can use blink arrow-faster attacks if you prefer.

Blood rage.

If you can fit in a cast when damage taken set up, go for it.
