    Wind/Water/Earth Arrows

    Not really too familiar on the finer details of these ammo beyond "They are different from Ice/Fire/Lightning Arrows". Ive used Wind Arrows for the period between 59-63 on Defoliators and was impressed with the additional effect numbers but has anyone else actively used these and had an opinion of them for TP gain?

    Reasons for asking:

    -Ranger isnt quite 75 yet.
    -Im bleeding Dogwood Lumber.
    -Demon Arrows can be a bitch to find up on the AH at times.
    - I would be swapping for stronger ammo for Barrage/WS since additional effects do not proc on them.

    they're pretty decent if you have the build for them. more INT you have, more damage the additional effect gives, havent do much testing on them though since they're hard to get.

    I was never that impressed with elemental arrows. If you're going for something with an easy to obtain added effect holy bolts are probably the easier way to go. If your woodworking is high enough you might try making marid arrows from all that dogwood lumber, they are pretty nice.

    There's been a few threads about these arrows here in the past. Concensus is something like "good, but not THAT good" : Demon will be better overall (especially when you get closer to 75), because an INT build usually isn't as good as an STR/RAttk build.

    Oh and nice to see you level RNG, Spar ^^
