Why are there claw damage nodes specced? The only thing I could think of is that it's for the mana leech but that seems incredibly wasteful.

Neversink gave an answer in the guide.

I'm sorry but no, he really doesn't.

What the guide does say, is "Designed to be used with Lioneye's fall". You have to lookup what the Lioneye's Fall jewel does. Lioneye's Fall converts passive Melee modifiers into Bow modifiers. Not sure why that critical bit of information isn't in the guide itself (surely it warrants an entry at least in the "Q&A" section).

Honestly, speaking as a total beginner who specifically picked a "beginner friendly" build, the 2.6 update to this guide has been utterly bewildering. All the previous skill trees vanished, replaced by a single, markedly different one with no explanation as to the large changes, and no help as to what your skill tree should look like at lower levels. And it contains advice ("MANA - once you get your hands on the spirit void cluster, mana shouldn't be a big deal anymore") which doesn't even apply to the new skilltree anymore. How much of the remaining advice is now obsolete too? I have no idea.

I realize this is marked "WIP" and a bigger update is promised, but still feels like it must've left a lot of newbies very confused in the meantime.

I apologize if this seems negative. I appreciate all the hard work that goes into creating and maintaining a guide like this, and am very thankful for the effort that goes into making it easier for dumb n00bs like myself to get into the game.

Can someone tell me why Neversink is using the Claw Notes in the Skilltree? Is it only because of Soulraker? Or is the tree not actual?

The "Default Life Skilltree" is now dependent on Lioneye's Fall jewel, which converts Melee modifiers into Bow modifiers.

What ascendency points should i look at grabbing for path finder/raider?

The most successful bow builds I've ran, and have seen others run, are flask focused and elemental scaling focused.

Are you playing as one now? Can't see your characters.

Also looking for some help, managed to 6 link my bow and looking to try out barrage or blast rain. Any advice on what to gem them with? Do I still follow the guide in that sense? This is because sometimes against bosses I'm running around like a headless chicken which makes the fight longer than I wish for, looking at Blast Rain/Barrage I might have an easier time?

Also for TS I have Pierce-LMP-PPAD-WED-PTL, is that fine?(I'm using Death Opus)

I'm also curious if I'm using auras etc correctly too;

Hatred
CoH-AM-HoI
Blink Arrow
CWDT-Immortal Call-Ice Golem-Temp Chains

"Default Life Skilltree - Designed to be used with Lioneye's fall in the jewel socket above acrobatics."

Awesome, actually found one of these in Legacy yesterday and had this exact same thought, but wasn't too sure about whether it would work. Going to try it out.

So I have used this build to 67 as a new player and am LOVING it, no problems so far, no issues...

But the skill tree alterations of the last few days have kind of messed me up now.

I try following the old path and it took me into Claws. No need claws. And I was lacking intelligence (ha ha).

(edit: oh right, I just read about the claw thing. Huh...)

Should I a) wait for NeverSink to update it with his game knowledge and know-how, or b) try and think of a way out of this myself (not the best idea, I'm still a new player trying my first play-through, not really ready for buildcrafting.)

Is Neversink ever going to update this Build? Looks like not.

Maybe at the end of the League huh.
