The build utilizes a skill that alternates between different elemental damages, allowing for easy operation of the Trinity support gem. This dynamic ensures you're always rotating through different elemental types, optimizing damage output.

↖ Crafting the Perfect Bow

↖ - Materials Required

• 25 Divine Orbs (with 10 specifically for the bow)
• Craft materials like Atziri's Promise and more.

↖ - Crafting Steps

• Start with a base that has a 2-level socketed gem mod.
• Press for Attack Speed and Crit Multiplier.
• Ensure you have mods for Crit Chance and Elemental Penetration.

Detailed steps: craft with Crit Multi, use "suffixes cannot be changed", link with prefixes, add physical damage mods, and finalize with crafting techniques to guarantee the desired mods.

↖ Unique Items

• Replica Dragon Fan: Elevates the elemental level and helps with mana management.
• Feral Fur: A hidden gem not often used, it provides all the necessary stats.
• Aspect of the Cat Belt: Packed with a Hunter mod, it helps to recharge flasks via critical strikes.

↖ Flasks

• Use both Dying Flask and Atziri Flask.
• Movement Speed and Damage flasks for increased efficiency.

↖ Jewels

• Lioneye's Fall: Converts melee and claw nodes to bow nodes, enabling more build flexibility.
• Thread of Hope: This large variant jewel allows you to obtain crucial nodes from the skill tree at once.

↖ Special Nodes

• Corrosive Elements: Allows you to inflict multiple elemental exposures, amplifying your elemental damage output.
• Farsight: Requires you to engage enemies from a distance to maximize damage.

↖ Additional Points

Use the "Impossible Escape" jewel to gain access to life and reduce skill cost nodes. This jewel, which was popular in previous seasons, remains a potent choice for our build.
