Archer/Hunter The Bow Firestorm Bellows

Recently, I have been engrossed in the new level 79 bow called "Firestorm Bellows". It is a bow that uses opposite elements (fire and air) which I thought was quite unique and interesting.

Seeing this bow, I decided to try and make a viable build for it since I thought it was quite unique. I ended up making two builds both with the spell spam playstyle in mind (oof negative intel oof). The first build focuses completely on the fire damage and the second build tries to make the fire and air damage equal. Both builds have good mana regen and good intelligence but lack in damage (since the bow is low level). Anyways, here are the builds.

Fire Build 1:

Helmet: Third Eye

Chestplate: Hetusol

Leggings: Fire Sanctuary

Boots: Corrupted Nii Mukluk

Ring 1: Moon Pool Circlet

Ring 2: Moon Pool Circlet

Bracelet: Dupliblaze

Necklace: Royal Stormy Amulet

Bow: Firestorm Bellows (With two t6 Fire Powders)

Fire Air Build 2:

Helmet: Shimmersight or Blue Mask

Chestplate: Hetusol

Leggings: Air Sanctuary

Boots: Corrupted Nii Mukluk

Ring 1: Moon Pool Circlet or Suppression

Ring 2: Moon Pool Circlet or Suppression

Bracelet: Knucklebones

Necklace: Royal Stormy Amulet

Bow: Firestorm Bellows (With one t6 Fire Powder and one t6 Air Powder)

Like I said before, both of these builds have good mana regen and good intelligence but lack in damage because of the bow being so low level. I would like to see other people's take on making a fire / air archer build with this bow or another bow like "Blues Whistle" with three t6 fire powders because of how they focus on using the opposite elements of fire and air. Please suggest builds with this bow or style if you want to. This is mainly just a sharing builds thread on the bow "Firestorm Bellows".

Cyas!​

 

The first build is overall better than the second, despite having lower elemental defenses. Though, bc of the elemental defenses, I’m not sure how viable this is even in PvE.

 

I mean
Why not use geyser
It seems perfect for this

 

Geyser might actually work for this build since you are only losing 1k damage. Geyser gives good mana regen and defenses which are quite nice. Extra damage may be crucial though for such a weak bow like this. What other items have I overlooked / missed? Please let me know :P

 

GUYS, I think I found a new more viable build for this bow. It can do 4.7k to 11k bombs with 9/4 mana regen and decent intelligence.

Here is the wynndata link: https://wynndata.tk/s/YtvebF

 

that's not 11k bombs, and rip thunder defenses, and triple water hive

 

Unfortunately firestorm bellows is just a very bad bow

 

it has the two worst elements for damage and archers in general.

 

I'm sorry
AIR is the worst element for archers?

 

It is stupidly difficult to get 10k avg bombs without air sanc. Air is good for the AGI and ws, but there aren't enough damage items. Makes sense that they have low defenses and all, but it's really bad. Water archers are better and everyone knows it.

 

Yes

 

maybe yknow like
check the level

 

Exactly
I'm not talking about the damage part; I agree with that
I mean generally

 

decent, but archers are known best for their damage. Since it has little damage potential, it defeats the purpose of the archer class as a damage dealing powerhouse. [insert mitochondria meme here]

 

Honestly that's more of an archer problem than an air problem

 

and this is an air/fire bow... so it's a problem with the build too...

 

Not really; you can actually deal some decent damage with a fire-air build with burnout. The problem is that you're trying to make a build with a level 79 bow.

 

exactly the point. Even near max level items only barely start giving comparable air damage. Other builds don't have to sacrifice any survivability for their damage, while air builds drop tons of defenses in order to do damage with items like air sanc and leichtrech makani

________________________________

actually air/earth items were introduced recently. Those could be really good.

 

A. You wouldn't use a level 80 weapon IN GENERAL. You don't use Corrupted Witherhead's Bow, or Rewind, or Spiritshock, or Heracul, because they just don't work in the endgame. (Talking about as a main weapon, Rewind works for a mana regen secondary).

B. Earth air is decent; outclassed by water air though IMO. Earthsky Equinox might work pretty well with clock leggings

 

Torrential Tide, Plague, Infidel, Judas, Mana, Roulette, Empire Builder, Wishing Star, Zero, Tundra Strike, Lunar Spine. All of those are in the level 80 range and are used in end game content all the time, but Firestorm Bellows is just trash. Not because the stats are bad, but that combo of elements are underpowered on archer ATM.

I already said that earlier. Well I said water air is the best, but the air is only for dodge, not more damage. Water is where archers get all their damage.

yea that's what I was talking about
