K, I'm convinced. The +level to gems is amazing with ED. The bow was my original plan but wanted to believe wand might me better as they look cooler on a trickster

Making the bow seems pretty easy anyway and starting with a 6link one is as well.

What would I use for a quiver then? Craft one or is there a decent unique?

shaper quivers can roll onslaught on kill, movement speed, those are pretty nice on top of life and res

Bow and quiver does do more dmg, but I like shield charge, easier to control on the ps4 compared to blink arrow or w.e, although they did kinda fix flame dash

/E also I put Ed on my gloves with the +area gem +proj gem, and 30 dot dmg, but no balls to corrupt it lol

And I use vaal blight in my 6l

Why blight?

Seems inefficient when ED is insane in 6 link with correct gems

Ed does enuff in my gloves, mostly use blight as a filler for bosses, while Ed is ticking

i use the blight gloves (5.5L) and 6l chest with ED, using staff since its cheap (100 spell dmg, 38 cast speed, 50+ chaos dmg ailment for 10 chaos)

I got my shortbow to +1 socketed gems. Just need to collect enough Exalts to have someone multimod it with the mods I need now.

I'm curious what base I should use for a quiver

every quiver base is useless so really no point in preferring one over another

So much good info on jsp today
