every ten quests. that sounds terrible. no wonder you quit.  You're probably going to have to buy a cheap windows laptop and run that with low graphic settings. 400-500 dollar laptop can do heavy use for 2 years before the graphic card goes.

Should be around 200 for normal and 400 for a crit on cocoon ticks at 500 positive and 100+ hamp.

Also, lama comes back up few weeks. Take your toon over and see what you get there.

LGS Vac Longbow. You can use altars there just make sure to bring mats. Use store LGS augment removers if you have them on copy.

Test to see if swapping out to a TF or a better bow is faster than just staying with LGS Vac. It will not take long to stack fully past the first 3 seconds or so on a manyshot. After that the TF has a vulnerable proc that should keep it at 20.

Check LD times without manyshot and 10k.
Check Fury times.
Check DC times. 154 doubleshot on manyshot with +1 crit range.

My CLW question was rhetorical, as I was suggesting it's looney to think you would replace cocoon in LE quests with a 100-200pt CLW.

Rubbinns wrote on Aug 26^th, 2016 at 2:48pm:


Well that's true, but if my fire rate with 10k is is like 1 + .8 dex + .8 dex + 1.2 (doubleshot in 10k) = 3.8 stars/animation * 1.5 animation/sec = 5.7 throws per second. So 5 seconds = 2 stacks from 1st, and 28 chances for a Vorpal, so 1.5 vorpals * 1-5 stacks = 4.5. So on average at 5 seconds that shuriken would do like 6.5 vuln stacks. My TF bow has 1st degree on it, so it will continue to stack for a many shot. I can see your argument for absolute min/max on vuln stacks, bit sure it's worth the mats at this point.

Really a vacuum Shuriken is whats up, because RoF everything will be 20 stacked like immediately.

Vac Bow to TF Bow because you think TF Bow is more DPS than Vac? Can you do double Ligthning procs on a Vacuum? They should be pretty close in damage right?

Rubbinns wrote on Aug 26^th, 2016 at 4:43pm:


I mean can you make a vac item with T1 Electric damage and T3 electric ?

harharharhar wrote on Aug 25^th, 2016 at 7:33pm:


Not replace, the idea was to use as a backup for when cocoon is on cooldown.

Vaultaccount wrote on Aug 26^th, 2016 at 5:00pm:

That interferes with starting with manyshot and going into 10k. I'm suspecting Jake's toon will be able to crack 20 something seconds using vac bow manyshot salvo. That isn't enough time to even get 10k online.

Vaultaccount wrote on Aug 26^th, 2016 at 5:00pm:

Was thinking about this further. The dojo red names have like 500k or so hp. IDk for sure, since I cannot see the hps. But this is what I read on mobos.

The plan of stacking Vac with a shuri to soften up the target before swapping to a toee bow set for 20 ranged power, might be better against anything with a lot more hps, prr, and dr than the lama dummies. A TF would still be optimal on high fortification bosses.

Shame they never made a combat room where you could test on raid boss dummies. have an ee Abbot, LE Sorjek, portal, and LE shroud 2 and 5 bosses. With hps listed so we can haz numbers.

They should make a quest where you go and have an npc at entrace. You talk to npc to choose the hp, ac and fort% of a kolbold. After you are done, he fades and the kolbold you want appears. There should be a shrine near the door too.

Lama is open.

I logged on and tried 2 wolf builds out. The monk version. And a kensei tier 5 version. Using vacuum unholy/shocking burst/ electric spell power. dont have mats to put on unholy blast for tier 3. missing a large glowing arrowhead. Also not included was 7 ins dstrike necklace. dont have that on live either.

Using monk wolf I got 35 seconds.

Damn Rubbins, that is a good time! Impressive!

If you don't mind what was the Kensai wolf times?? Even if not as fast it should have a ton more surviveability in real game-play I reckon?

Hehe sorry for laughing but that monk wolf you used is some serious glass cannon shit right there What do you think it will play like in reality/real LE raid gameplay? Mobs will fart it to death

It was solely for max dps. Best we could come up with for pure numbers. It could be built for quests, but it wont do well in le raids, or some quests, and some champions.

Swapping weapon focus #1 and oc for adept+master gets master earth. Take dodge feat over weapon focus #2 for more dodge and cap in tempest tree because everything else low tier is mostly useless for this build. For the AP it can take some prr in shintao over more melee power in harper. Crocodile Skin and Flight in Nature's Warrior tree. Elaborate Parry and twist in Meld into Darkness. LD clicky is bff. A lot of work to make this durable. But it can be done for a large portion of the content if desired. 

The monk requires constant rotations of monk ki attacks to get high single target times. All together not worth it if youre looking into doing top end content. Kind of not worth it anywhere, really. IMO. I don't mind taking 60 seconds to kill 500k hp. Long as I enjoy the build and can play with least amount of effort. ;p The true art of piking.

They were pretty good. 39-46.  A Much more prr focused build with heavy armor, stalwart stance, and access to tactics and prr feats. The focus is melee power and keeping up Opp ATK. Which was dope and very, very easy at wolf speed to keep up. Tier 5 gives 20 melee power, it is about the only thing you want from there. core crit multiplier works for x1. Was hitting 180 melee power fully blitzed and Opportunity Attack going.

It is more sustained due to Opp ATK being the only required boost. The tempest wolves need 1k cuts to reach that time. I dislike it due to not having DoD. No real aoe for trash clearing speed. But if you want the build to be able to swap ap to either set up then go 9dr/6ftr/5rgr. Dont really lose anything with 10th druid level except some spells. The flexibility to swap to tempest tier 5 or kensei tier 5 is worth it.
