Bringing this back up seeing as how Sharp Shot got a buff and evades a lot less than before.
I'm curious if with the right set up, this could be a viable option for leveling for end-gamers.
I think that with the right gear, autos could still be decent with hard hitting skills. As of right now, in full DL with DL bow and level 180 Haste quiver, 750ish dex and 500ish str, my autos are sitting around 2000, and my Longshot can hit for 3300 on 2 star mobs, Sharp Shot hitting for 2200. Autos on those same mobs are 550-900 depending on mob level.
A good mix of both worlds could be as follows:
Godly Hrung Sharp or Longshot helm (200 dex or str)
Emberdrake Bracers of Longshot/Sharpshot x2 (80+ to dex or str)
Spiderweb Ring(s) of Longshot (8+ to skill + 500+ added damage)
Haste Quiver (+180 str)
Despoiler Bow (up to 400 added Longshot damage)
Royal Spider charm of Needles (+120 str)
Ammy (whatever you can get your hands on, Stargem str ammy would be good to help w/auto damage +200 str)
Occult Vambraces
Occult Legguards
Occult Top
Longshot added damage alone could be 3,000...
Sharpshot added damage 1,000+
For leveling, this could now be a more viable build depending on what items are available. I'm only 188 so I'll only be able to try it out with Alchemical gear, but as soon as I can, i'll report back.
I've only got a Mighty Sharpshot helm so we'll see if I can find a better one to test with.

In addition , i also switch to beastbone gloves for 300 SS , and switch to my one and only godly sharpshot charm for sharp.
Re: Occult Gear + dex build?
#13How quick do you take down same level mobs? Have you tested a more auto build vs. this build when it comes to solo leveling at all?
I know auto damage will be less, but curious if the skills + damage will make up for the difference or be any better.

Re: Occult Gear + dex build?
#14Cooldown reduction gear only applies if you have it equipped permanently. You cant switch to it to reduce the cooldown then swap it out. It doesnt work that way.
I havnt tried the dex build since before the tower update so i am curious as well how your damage output is. Im sure it still wouldnt be able to compete with a dps build on bosses but it may be worth using while levelling since the burst dmg and lower hp of mobs may do too much dmg in quick succession for an auto build to match it in that short period of time.
On the other hand, all those skills have a slow cast with the exception of sharp. Would be greatly appreciated if you could give us some numbers, total time to cast those skills and their average damage so that we can compare it to what an auto build would do.

Re: Occult Gear + dex build?
#17I think this is right, Foool. I've heard of clannies testing it but once the red clears of cool down it is unable to cast. If it is however true, plz confirmI can send you a video of it being done if you like.

Re: Occult Gear + dex build?
#19Yes it works. U have to wait for actual arrow to hit i think before taking off.
Re: Occult Gear + dex build?
#20Edit. You just equip it to cast. Spell reduction is applied then can switch. Seems to work fine for me.
