Stam DK bow build? (vma)

sirrmattus

Im interested in a bow build for stam dk, particularly for vMA. Does anyone know of or have one?

TIA

Dual wield on front bar, Bow on back bar DK Stamina is very viable for VMA.

Unsure how viable Bow/Bow is but you may find Bow/Bow challenging and possibly fun, maybe.

I mean, if you have done so, then you really should have no problem theorycrafting new builds. I guess here's some input: the Master bow gives you a bit of a weapon damage bonus if to poison injection'd targets.

All you really have to do is figure out what DoTs you want to use and what skill is going to be your standard spammable ability for your damage rotations. The other skills stay relatively unchanged from the standard utility you have with typical vMA runs, such as Corrosive Armor and Dragon Fire Scale.

I am not a DK, but I have bowsorc and bowblade and did vma on both. There is not big difference between bow and notbow. Poison injection and endless hail is probably run on every stam character anyway. As bow main you only add snipe to the mix, maybe arrow barrage if you need more aoe. You also need ranged trap beast morph.

Bow ulti is another possibility. It has good use in boss runs, you just need to prepare it properly (stack max hawk eye, get all buffs like minor force)

Using double bow are not best in slot, but you can make it work for sure. I have to add, stam DK might be the worse class to do bow build with, since they dont have any bonus for range or physical dmg.

Sorcs have 5% physical dmg and ultimate reduce cost and high stam pool.
Templars have crit dmg and wpn dmg stats in passives.
Nightblades have crit, crit dmg and good skills that can be used with bow.
DK's have standard of might and venomous claw, which is designed for melee dps.

Very insightful.
