PoE - Shadow - Soul Siphon Bow build

This is a high dps min-max build designed for diabolically efficient farming. It in no way is intended for HC. If you like playing rogues & top dps classes where you sacrifice defense for more offense, this method is for you. It is not an easy, mindless, stand in the fire playstyle. After reading a few dozen replies post OB, I would say this is an advanced build. It is not for everyone.

The OPEN BETA DISCUSSION starts on page 12. I have listed most everything you need to know in the second post. Another option is to hit ctrl+f and search for keywords in your browser for specific questions you have on each page. If I were admin Id consolidate this thread!

I stream frequently on twitch.tv/tyranthal

Past vids, including my CB endgame ele bow shadow in disgustingly perfect elemental gear thrashing endgame maps with ease using this spec @ lvl 74 are here AKA you if you stick with it and trust the ppl who have done it & shared their xp with us so far.

Weapon Elemental Damage is a MUST for all attacks that you want to inflict reliable damage.
Culling Strike is a MUST for this link. I suggest leveling it in the background on your alt weapon until the attack speed penalty gets lower. It will eventually give 10% increased attack speed.

Ice Shot as a totem is great for systematic kite/tanking insane rare mobs and bosses. Elemental Proliferation or Increased Crit Chance works extremely well with Ice Shot totem. Mix and match to find what works best for your build.

I suggest dropping the totem in tandem with Raise Spectre. The spectre can do the tanking for you. Watch any of my vids to see what Im talking about. Ice Shot totem is a very serviceable method to utilize the coverage of chilled dmg to mobs, knockback from using Projectile Weakness & application of status effects. Damage wont be knockout quality, but this is used for disruption. Were Ice Shot NOT linked to Ranged Attack Totem, you would want to replace the totem gem with Weapon Ele Dmg and Faster Attacks for Culling Strike.
