Ranger - 1.3 ✮ The Crit DoT Chin Sol build ✮ Puncture Trap / Ice Shot (Build of the Week S3E3) - Forum

Bit tough on mana when leveling. Lvl 29 shadow here. I have to drink mana flasks a lot to keep the ice shots going. Will it get better? Is there anything i can do to make things easier at this level? Here is my passive tree as well.

It's something on the line of Reduced mana 0.71 (20 gem), tree -12% (0.88) 145% x 0.71 x 0.88 = ~91% reserved Yeah, my bad, I forgot they're not additive. I haven't had mana reserved nodes in a while. But, from what I remember the reduced mana effects act on each aura independently and not as a lump sum. This changes the output due to rounding and yadda yadda. 60 * .71 * .88 = 37.49 * 2 ~= 74 40 * .71 * .88 = 24.992 ~= 25 74 + 25 = ~99% mana reserved A level 85 has 40 + 4 * 84 = 376 base mana and say 110 Int for another 55 mana yielding ~431 mana. 431 * .01 = 4.31 mana unreserved. Not enough to do anything. I think that means we were both right and wrong about this. :) Edit: I chose level 85 because that's roughly the minimum level a player would have for a level 20 reduced mana gem assuming they didn't buy one. But, each level past 85 would only add .04 unreserved mana which is next to nothing.

Herald of ash is 25% not 40%, heheh :)	Posted by Schizo87#6187 on Sep 27, 2014, 10:07:38 PM Quote this Post

Also he probably has saboteur which adds one more trap which is currently still taken in his scion tree. I'm playing scion so I took saboteur. Might get master sapper if I do see a need.

What to do vs vaal boss? He doesn't move so puncture is useless there. Switch to frenzy? Last edited by kompaniet#2874 on Sep 27, 2014, 10:42:29 PM	Posted by kompaniet#2874 on Sep 27, 2014, 10:42:05 PM Quote this Post
