so after ascension, what will the usual marksman build be?

Does the HP bonus from Spirit Link stack with HB and Decent HB?

Ya.

with the current free 100% mastery books events, I am pretty lost which book I should get;
My MM is now lvl 155 who passed PA30, SE30 and Snipe 30, so my questions is which book will benefit me most

Mysterious book, 100% Illusion Step or 100% Spirit Link?
(say if the illusion step and spirit link drops by minions and pretty common in FM, I'd go Mysterious book)

Sorry, it sounds I am pretty lazy not checking FM myself, but I really cannot play much these day, thank for help

Spirit Link

Definitely Spirit Link.

Thanks for the suggestions, claimed my books

I just looked a the options...no Marksman Boost. That's what I was wanting to get

Does illusion step really increase the number of misses that you get? It seems too good to be true.

Yes. It's like shadow shifter. It's very nice.

Question about Legendary Potentials. So 120 hats can give you -2 second cooldown. Does that work witn Snipe? If so, how much of a DPS boost is it?

Minimal I'm guessing.

Hi after ascension, was wondering is it possible to achieve 100% ignore pdr for marksman?
As someone wrote that marksman sux after that patch.

Btw vl set - 30% ignore + crusader codex - 30% ignore, + skill ignore 25% + 15% ignore from weapon = 100%

However it seems that they dont stack, your advice would be most appreciated.

The crusader codex one doesn't work (for now I hope).

I don't think PDR ignore works period. I'll retest it soon though

How about using Ult. Inferno on the fire weak mobs in ToT? Would it be worth maxing between 140 - 160?

No. Because it's not worth it overall.

Possibly a very stupid question but I'm asking anyway with the risk of looking like an idiot.

I've got two crossbows; A Neschere with 125 attack and 15% Ignore DEF and a Dragon Shiner Cross with 113 attack, 6 slots and 12 attack (making it 125 attack) + 3% DEX potential. Obviously the Shiner Cross would be better if I actually finished scrolling it (which I won't for a while until I get 50%s/GM scrolls), but as it stands now, which would be better to use?

EDIT: If the former doesn't even work, no point in asking, but let's say that it does. My sniper's 100, so she has to use the Neschere regardless.

Depends on the monster fighting.
Bossing - Neschere.
Training - Shiner.

How feasable is it to get 100% crit. rate and what kinds of gears does it take? Someone said they had reached it before..
