Ultimate Boomeranger Guide

Boomeranger build by Jhxe added 6 years ago.

This build was updated for
Reeling in the Stars - Hotfix 4

Boomeranger is a top-tier character ever since the changes we're made. His Mysterious Urn skill now has a chance to reroll another Mysterious Urn skill that could potentially break the whole game if rolled a god dice. This means that even a low PR Boomeranger can potentially clear any dungeon to his liking long as he actually deals damage and can survive a whole loop (with Death-Defiance)

Notes: With the changes on Boomeranger, Bow comes up to the very top.

-Melee: 200% > 200% > 250% + DMG Reduction Buff and 3x (300% Cyclone)
-Bow: 200% + 160% DOT > 200% + Slow effect > 200%x3 + 160% AOE Dmg

This doesn't mean Melee is out of the picture, it just mean that Bow is faster for clearing while Melee will save you a lot of potions. If you're already at a point where everything is 1 hit, Melee will probably be your go-to for flash farming.

==Melee==
Pros:
- Good for Flash Farming
- Save a lot of Potion
- Less susceptible to lag
Cons:
- Weaker damage than Bow
- Bad Ring effect

==Bow==
Pros:
- Higher DPS by a long shot vs. Melee
- Boomerang Buffs are kinda OP
- Can use potions for offensive purposes
Cons:
- Might miss boomerang if being chased or knocked back
- Combo is slightly required for optimal DPS
- Lower cooldowns of skills with boomerang CDR

When comboing with Bow, it's best to throw Bombs then pour out all your boomerangs, then work up back to full cd and repeat the sequence while remembering to use boomerang on times that buffs goes to 2sec below

Lunar Lancer Subclass

Sorta Crazy - Chance during combat to transform and receive some power of the Lunar Lancer.

Critical Damage

Notes: If you're already 90-100% crit hit in dragons/gems, just go for AS/MS on all your gear. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. This means you can flash farm and be a menace for delves while keeping your identity as a solo farmer in u11. You get a lot of Crit Damage from Dragons and Gems, so just sacrifice a little of them for faster farming.

Ally and Flasks

Animated Jug still is OK, since Stellar Constellations are expensive
Paragon Marks' are also hard to get, if you're going Earnie.
Jingles is a good alternative if you're going support role in Delves.

Whenever casting ULT or throwing all your boomerang(BOW), always pop a potion, a good combo goes like: Pot > S2 > S1 > Pot > RMB(4x); this combo will auto clear any Boss and deals an absurd amount of damage.
You can fiddle around with the Emblem 2, for Levis, u can try Unyielding if you're the one tanking.

Empowered Gems

Make sure you max out Light on your cosmic gems. A full 3 proc on light on every cosmic gem is mandatory on every class going on to late game. For Empowered, just augment them till perfection as long as they're initially 3-statted.

Since Shadow Towers are practically removed from the game, I can suggest taking Berserk vs Vampyrian. However, due to the nature of a tanking boomer, you can go for Vamp if you're going ham on all content.
