It took me a few tries on Ghom post patch, but I have it down now. I'm about to head to work, so I'll just give a quick breakdown of skills and stats.
1. 102k Damage with SS
2. Full set of Nats, digger pants, high dex rare gloves and shoulders
3. 1110 Damage 2 hand bow.
4. Skills: Caltrops (Tortorous), Preparation (Backup), Smoke Screen (lingering), Mark of Death (whatever one generates hatred), Elemental Arrow (Ice), Hungering Arrow (Devour). Archery, SS, Precision.
The biggest issue in the fight is the clouds of noxious gas and your attempt to keep them from spreading everywhere. I did this by moving in a counterclockwise circle around the room, dropping caltrops to slow Ghom, and hammering away from him just outside of each new cloud he drops. The caltrops also had the added benefit of stopping his little slime balls in place and Elemental Arrow Frost would often hit on its AOE and kill them. If you time things right the clouds will start to evaporate just as you make your first full 360 revolution around the room.
I hit smoke screen whenever I start to run out of room or in emergency situations.
I can't tell your xbow stats, but I would look to upgrade it to something in the realm of 1k damage. You can find some of the lower end 1k+ damage weapons for a decent price on gold or RMAH (if you have that option).
The problem is that 1 handers just look so much cooler than the damn 2 handed bows. Jango Fett or Legolas.....I'll go with Fett. Now I just need two perfect 1 x handbow drops with tons of dex, crit, and oh yeah + disclipline. Should be cheap and easy drops to obtain
Hey guys. I was wondering if there was anyone out there legitimately dual wielding. I'll define legitimate as those who have progressed to ACT IV and beyond. Mr./Mrs. Dual Wielding, if you are out there, post your build, stats, and gear and let us know how you are doing it.
Right now I'm a 100k damage (with SS) using a 1 handed bow, set up in 4 piece Nat with some other random rare gears. Getting bored of the 2 hander.
I am at 98k Damage post nerf with SS and have been playing around with ACT I Butcher runs to test different playstyles (though admittedly, this is not an ideal test because ACT I is easy mode). So far BL has suited my playstyle the best and replicated how I was playing prior to the nerf (standard build, devouring arrow, NT, smoke screen, preparation, and caltrops). I completed ACT III last night using Frost Arrow and hated it the entire way. I'll test out BL tonight in ACT III and see how it goes.
