Big Disclaimer: I am not trying to create an actual end game character. I already have something planned for serious Shaper/Uber Elder clearing. Also forgive me if I make any glaring mistakes in general for Bow builds, it's not really my strong point when making builds.

​

Hey all, I noticed the new Unique Bow coming with Betrayal called The Crimson Storm. Got me thinking of a fun way to use it since I barely play Bow characters and wanted to play one. Didn't want to take the typical ele conversion method of using Bow skills, so I decided to go pure Physical.

The theory is just to inflict Bleed on everything to take advantage of the pretty ridiculous base damage from The Crimson Storm to just scale Crit + Phys Damage %.

Here's the PoB: https://pastebin.com/FHDL6Vmi
I used random items I had and also made up items with realistic/random rolls to try to simulate proper gear. I'll break down the build offensively and defensively to illustrate my choices. Please feel free to give me feedback, I just want to see how far I can take this with reasonable investment (prob max of 5 ex). If this makes it to Shaper I'd be pleasantly surprised, but all in all I just want to try out the new Bow and have some fun with Rain of Arrows. Hoping to at least make it through Red Maps and potentially Guardians.

Defensive Setup

Evasion Based, 19.6k with Flasks up.
Acro + Phase Acro for additional Dodge.
5k life pool.
CWDT Enfeeble (due to being Point Blank)
CWDT Immortal Call

Offensive Setup

I went with Blasphemy Projectile Weakness because I am using a Point Blank setup so I figured I would be next to my targets anyways.
Herald of Purity for additional phys scaling.
Currently sitting at 75% chance to bleed with non-crit, averaging to 93% with crits.
I took the Heavy Draw node because the nodes leading up to it give me additional bleed chance so it was efficient in my eyes.
Using Lioneye's Fall to convert Claw Wheel for damage + leech but have alternative tree without it.
I originally had Chance to Bleed but swapped out for Maim for better damage scaling and opted to use Heavy Draw wheel for the additional bleed chance to compensate.
Haemophilia for better clear speed.
Using Orb of Storms + Power Charge on crit to generate Power Charges and Bloodrage for Frenzy Charges
Not sure whether to get Rupture over Fast and Deadly within Deadeye. I think the accuracy rating is definitely a huge boon but there's so many juicy crit modifiers in Rupture.
