Description

Let's say I went full
Fire Arrow
tree and I have a
Flame Rift
so I don't have much issue with immune monsters.

I have a few skill points in my
Valkyrie
just to have monsters regroup around her so I can spam Immolation
Arrows
and Explosive
Arrows
.

I have some free skil points available and was wondering if I should go
Magic Arrow
or
Guided Arrow
and wanted opinions.

I don't have much experience of
Magic Arrow
,
Guided Arrow
always seemed pretty good to me, but I know a few folks from the physical bowa thread were extolling the benefits of
Magic Arrow
for those pesky physical immunes.

How are you finding the fire /
Exploding Arrow
build? I am currently in NM with this setup (lvl 39) and was planning to switch to freezing but am enjoying the fire, is it viable all through hell with the sunder charm?

I have a FA Amazon non-ladder and as my first and only ladder char I wanted to do different so I went fire this time. It works but it is slow with fire immunes because yeah they are no more immune but they are like 99% fire res and I'm not geared like I want. Once I will get a
Vex
to do Flickering Flame it should be much better. I think?

Personally, I find guided to be relatively underwhelming since the
Strafe
buffs. Though your build may fall short on capitalizing on those for lack of skill points.

Except for PvP of course..GA = baller for that.

Magic Arrow
is a very solid cleaner of phys immunes for a bowzon (mine will certainly never waste a charm slot on a phys sunder) and works just fine by itself, without any extra skills needed for synergies.

Though if you're using a fire sunder anyways...why even bother with magic or GA? Just get a bit of -res to add to the Rift and you're probably fine with full fire. Ele zon tends to gear quite differently anyways, resulting in sub-par comparative phys dmg, meaning magic and GA both will kinda blow as compared to a real phys zon.

i would go for fire + full
Magic Arrow
with merc and without valk until i get equipement that lowers resistances. then i would reskill to fire + valk.

Yes but being my only Ladder char I need to find the gear! I'm getting there, got Lyc for +4 bow and traded a
Razortail
yesterday, Would be incredible if I get a
Vex
from Hellforge.

That was my plan and needed confirmation between Magic and Guided. I know Guided would be VERY usefull on
Blood Raven
, man she don't stop moving like crazy, it's hard to aim on her with ranged weapons.

I have a
Strafe
Zon build, and
Magic Arrow
will take down anything in the gane that physical
Strafe
can't. I have
Guided Arrow
maxed out since it boosts
Strafe
damage, while I've added just +10 to
Magic Arrow
, but it's far more effective at +10 than
Guided Arrow
is maxed out.

Please post offer in item trade before adding me on Bnet, I'm in EST time zone (E Coast U.S)

Not with
Strafe
.
Strafe
auto targets everything in a straight line from the center front, side, and back.

I haven't tried a Pure
Fire Arrow
build, but I have had a few
Freezing Arrow
builds that splashed
Exploding Arrow
for cold immunes and magic for both, and found the mavina's set is a excellent budget gear set for one. (Gloves in the set give +20% Cold skill damage when the set is complete) The
Freezing Arrow
has great crowd control utility.

I have one not ladder, it works great but of course won't go M'avina's for this pure fire build.

Here’s another vote for
Magic Arrow
!

Yes it deals the sought after magic damage, which is awesome, and it tends to take out bosses faster on my physical bowazon than
Guided Arrow
, but for me the real benefit is that after a certain level it costs zero mana!

It’s great if you get hit by something with mana burn and instead of chugging pots or just running away just pull out
Magic Arrow
and your still killing.

Guided Arrow
still isn’t bad, it definitely has uses for fast moving things and scouting for off screen targets.

My recommendation is enough points into
Magic Arrow
so you can cast for free, and maybe 1 point into
Guided Arrow
for scouting/off screen targets (all assuming you have at least +6 to bow skills)
