IllustriousDjinni's RoA IR Ranger. HC Viable, Beginner Friendly UPDATED: 2.3 patch

yeah i noticed that about RoA it takes a few volleys but because it hits hard and stuns it doesnt really matter. i died tho due to power outage :(. so im holding off on RoA now. im trying TS now on rampage the shotgun effect is awesome :D

Damn, that sucks. Good luck for that. The amount of attack speed you end up getting at higher levels makes the extra attack or two hardly noticeable.

Updated for Patch 1.3 Bloodlines and Torment Leagues!

Passive Skill Tree is not working.

Working now

Doesn't vaal pact disable life regen, how does this affect build survivability?

Yes it does. It doesn't effect it much at all. The Instant leech is probably more helpful. Vaal Pact is optional though as it isn't really required except vs high amounts of reflect.

so would you recommend going less into the regen passives?

also what you recommend replacing vitality with since vaal pact would make it uesless?

The only regen node that could be worth replacing is Sanctity and replacing it with Elementalist to connect the Life and Increased AoE areas. This is probably worth it especially if you do either of these to choices to replace Vitality. Firstly you could Run both Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder instead, putting one in your spare 6 socket item full of utility skills. Alternatively you can get a level 22 Reduced Mana (Hard) or swap out 2 life nodes on the Scion life wheel for a 4% reduced mana reserved node by Sovereignty (Easy). This allows you to run Hatred. Both these options get more damage going the Elementalist route over Sanctity but you will lose a small amount of defense from the 20% increased armour. Option number 3 is to just replace Vitality with your chosen purity aura depending on what kind of damage the zone you are going into uses.
