Hey BF, this is how I've built my Arch/Elec to 34. Pure PvE. (please excuse my lack of a planner, im posting off my phone on the train - there may also be level mistakes, the bumpiness is mooshing my brain)
1. Aimed Shot
2. Fistful of Arrows
4. Charged Brawl
6. Hasten
8. Blazing Arrow
10. Havoc Punch
12. Explosive Arrow
14. Superspeed
16. Buildup
18. Ranged shot
20. Aim
22. Hover
24. Lightning Clap
26. Stunning Shot
28. Thunderstrike
30. Whirlwind
32. Rain of Arrows
future plans - PowerSink, Shocking Grasp, Elec EPIC.
To go more "mainstream" you could drop Whirlwind and Clap to grab Aid Self, or go towards Stamina, maybe dropping Ranged Shot, as its often left me with a "meh" feeling that my Nrg snipe never did. Think it's the animation.
With a bit of slotting I've found i don't really need Stamina. Archery seems end light, and with PowerSink in 4 bars time, im sure i'll survive.
Elec melee is very powerful (yet End heavy, beware).
Many people moan about the drawtime, and yes it can be a factor, but I've found i stick to Archery for groups, then switch to Elec for ST whoopings.
Took the Elec EPIC to add to my Cone damage of Fistful after RoA. Also conceptual and nice armour (speaking of which, try it with ONE tech robotic arm, looks great and works well. Ie - robotic arm for higher arrow power, coupled with Elec blaps)
Its a fun build, and i whole heartedly look forward to taking it further.
I've heard and seen good things about other Secondaries. Off the top of my head the main pro's would be....
Devices - Caltrops + mines + RoA
Ice - Ice Slick + RoA
Nrg - Boost Range for larger cone and RoA cast distance. Power boost for larger Stunning Shot.
Fire - RoA + FsC.
Im sure there are a lot of other fun synergi's you can find. Good luck!
Thanks Amazing, that's just the kind of info i was looking for.
Much appreciated!
BF
I've been reading a few different posts about archery and various secondaries lately and I am interested in seeing some builds if anyone has any. Arch/elec really appeals at the moment. If you have one handy or can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.
