Possible Other Situations
Spoiler


Playstyle
Spoiler

-Move Freely and Utilize Whirling Blade's / Fortify for added defense
-Use Spec Throw to gain power charges at will and severely weaken packs
-Learn your AOE range for clearing packs
- Use Vaal Reave often and be sure to POP it on a pack of monsters, use with Vaal Haste when possible for more effect and clear speed. A few packs later and both will be up and ready to pop again. If you move pack to pack quickly you can keep Vaal Reave up almost indefinitely.
- Watch out for Magic Monsters that drop the exploding elemental orbs on death " Bearer Suffix" and all of the Rare Monsters with Volatile Prefix that explode on death. Those are the only things that will RIP me.

Build/Playstyle/General Frenquently Asked Questions
Spoiler


Why Bino's?
- Affordable, around 1 ex on standard
- Solid Pdps/Crit
- Bonus Life Regen
- You would need 300+ Pdps on a Rare dagger with crit to compare
- Most likely cannot find a better dagger for the price


Utility Gems and their Uses *Update: 01/30/2016*

Why use Utility Gems?
- They give us an edge where dying may cost you hours of gameplay, make the game more fun, and give us the edge to easily take down tough bosses and overcome challenges. The idea is to use strategy and tools to give us a better chance of winning. With some of these you may feel the desire to challenge some tougher bosses you might otherwise skip. For me, this makes the game more fun, while allowing me to take some risk.

The Utility Gems I keep on Hand

Spoiler
*

* Vaal Reave- You definitely want this one. As soon as you see it filled up and approach a rather large pack, pop it! Your Aoe will be off screen, keep your charges up with a little spec throw here and there and keep popping dmg flasks. Sustain as long as possible and greatly increase your clear speed and safety.

* Vaal Haste- Increases Attack and Movement Speed for more DPS and more clear Speed!

* Concentrated Effect - Opposite of Inc AOE - Decreases our AOE but adds an insane amount of damage. Use Situationally and preferably with Vaal reave for insane DPS and larger than normal AOE from Vaal Reave.

* Viper Strike- Nice boss killer, including Atziri, the trio, and Vaals. Works even better if you spec into some dmg over time nodes, and/or the Fatal Toxins cluster. Even better its very fun to use. Swap out inc Aoe for crit multi, and viper for reave! You will see me do this for boss fights in some of my videos.

* Increased Critical Strikes- More Crit chance, I use this while wearing abyssus using viper strike for the Vaal fight in Uber Runs.

* Increased Critical Damage- More crit Multi! Yayy. I used this every single time with viper strike. Take out phys to light, and inc AOE and add in this gem with either PCOC, Added chaos, or crit strikes depending on your Crit Chance for some serious fun, damage, and damage over time with Viper.

* Added Chaos- More chaos damage while using viper strike

* Vaal Lightning Trap - Used primarily in uber runs and specifically for the vaal fight and Atziri form change. Shocks making our enemy more susceptible to damage.



More updates when I have time!

One less frenzy charge keeps the 5th jewel socket while maintaining life, choose attack speed or phys to start, I would choose attack speed personally! If you load up my current ranger tree and the one I just linked in the poe skill tree editor you can switch back and forth to easily see the differences. Hope that helps!

Hi, I'm attempting to use your build on Talisman, what are you gem build with Bino's?

I'm kinda new, so I dont quite understand what the current build benefit from Bino's, would you put a poison gem in the setup or?

Also if you have any tips, please tell :)

If you mean in the bino's 3L I use Blood Rage - Enhance - Ice golem. You may not degen now thanks to the regen nodes but the reason we do that is to be able to quickly weapon swap and kill blood rage if we are losing life too quickly or in a jam. Last thing you want is to RIP from Blood Rage lol. In the 6L chest using binos I would use the same setup I use with loath bane, shown in the video. If using a 5L, I would drop weapon elemental damage.

Binos is good because it has high crit, solid dmg, and its VERY affordable. Im not sure the pricing in the new league but here on standard it runs about 1 ex. It also provides some life regen which can help sustain life! To get a rare dagger better it would need 300+ pdps plus crit, and would still lack the regen bonus plus cost a bit more.

Also, the enhance gem boosts the quality of gems. In my case gives my minion more damage (rather useless), but more importantly gives me added quality on Blood rage, which gives me more attack speed. Attack speed gives us more DPS, and increases mobility with whirling blades.

Hi, I am looking for a new build and this one looks very interesting, can you play it safely in HC too?
And if yes, can you elaborate on when to take what on the tree, plz? :)
Hi what would u suggest for 5l reave I was thinking reave - melee phys dmg - multi strike - inc aoe - inc crit damage.

Also could you post your deeps with bino on a 5l without flasks and charges and with only charges up (5 power, 3 frenzy I presume?).

Thx.

Well, I think it could be a hardcore build but I am by no means a HC pro lol. I have died, but i like to push the limits of what I can and cant do. This build IMO the way I have it is very balanced. Im not too heavy on dps or defense. If you change some nodes around to spec more defense and life Im sure you could do it, especially playing safely. I would assume most HC pros would take armour over evasion but I may check in with one of those guys!
