Mod up the bow however you want, and you should be in really good shape. Their little wand attacks and stuff should be nothing but a cloud of -0's and even stuff like Maelstrom is taken down considerably by this.

I've never seen a bow with that particular mod before; would you happen to know in what quest is it awarded?

IIRC, the quest can be obtained from Captain Grey..? from the Ascalon Settlement.

Why not replace escape with melandrus ressilience?

I don't know if it works but couldnt that get you past the darn heretics?

Anarion Silverhand · Mar 21, 2006, 06:59 PM // 18:59

Escape is used to outrun the Avicara. Tasca's Demise is the easy part.

Excellent guide, thank you very much. My wife now has an IDS.

My build is slightly different, but much like some of the others here.

Poison Arrow [E] (cycle through all targets, keep them all poisoned)
Distracting Shot (trident and spear and maelstrom)
Kindle Arrows (keep it up, it's your only source of damage aside from poison)
Whirling Defense (useful ONLY for trolls, but worth the slot due to its effectiveness)
Storm Chaser
Dodge
Troll Ungent (keep it up during fights)
Elemental Resistance (keep it up against golems/imps)

Expertise 10+3+1
Wilderness 11+1
Marks 8+1
Inspiration 6

I went and got the blankets bow, added a poison string and +5 armor defense grip and everything's just peachy. What fun! With such a low req bow (6) it might be worth shuffling attribute points around.

If you're more comfortable kiting the trolls then you may as well change Whirling for Dual Shot for the extra damage spike.

For me, the only tricky bit is between the two Avarica bridges. Sometimes some of those birds don't want to break aggro. I usually end up dying a horrible death with nowhere to run. But not to worry. After a few practice runs, the whole route becomes very easy to repeat.

And I often end up with a few imps who want to stay in my aggro circle. I have found no way to train them to get out of it. But while I'm kiting the whole group slowly down the hill, I just keep them poisoned and by the time we're at level ground those few are dead.

If more than 2 imps are in spellcasting range, it's better to just poison them if you have the time, and run away to start a fresh aggro cycle.

Thanks Kassad!

Modded with a poison string and a defense grip.

I love you:

P!zza · Apr 11, 2006, 09:56 AM // 09:56

Can someone please post a video of how he gets there?
Because I always die when the first Ice-Golem arrives. He uses knockdown and slow-down spells for the kill.
