[1.0.1] HvR's Ranger (Level 100) - Updated for Release

I dont have an Alfa Howl, and i wont have it for long time, its too epxensive for me.
This item has 8% reduced Mana Reserved. If i take 2 perks with 4% reduced Mana Reserved from templar tree insteed that, will i be able to use 3 60% auras linked to 20 lvl Reduced Mana gem? Or game mechanics calculate it in diffrent way?

So what do I need in order to not 1 hit myself to death from reflect mobs? I know it's going to happen if I proceed with this:

Do I need Blood Magic + Life Leech + LMP + Chain + LA (5L) before I can start? I know you posted the Blood Dance boots but I was curious if it was possible to do this prior to lvl 44'ish + 5L.

Edit - Obviously items like:

Won't help because that is physical damage only and I'm sure it won't work with the LA 4L I'm equipped with. 5L's are too hard to come by, was hoping to stop using Rain of Arrows around lvl 42 in Cruel...is it possible without a 5L?

Bringing this to the top, very good stuff

Im doing lightning arrow with a Lionseye with the hopes of upgrading soon to voltaxic and I dont have many physical dps nodes so which auras should I use? I can run 3

Should I run hatred grace wrath or grace wrath anger?

Hi, Hvr.

Can u tell us how many dps u got w/o charge and with all frenzy charge (and why not with Power charge, but without a 6L i can't play power charge :p) ?

Got another question (Build 3), u don't take Iron Reflexes, u r enough tanky without armor bonus ? u keep playing dodge with Ondar Guile, what do u think about Acrobatics btw ? All my gear is only Evasion, i don't have gear like Armor/Eva so m wondering if i keep Iron Reflexes or if i play with dodge but m afraid about taking hits after that.
Or simply, this build 3 just need Lightning Coil ?


Btw, thx for ur build, a bit gear dependant at start but look's like amazing with a nice bow and nice rings/ammy.

6 Frenzy Charges:
21,879.8 Frenzy - 86% Accuracy - 27.2% Crit Chance - 797 Crit Multi - 4.74 APS
5,619.1 Split w/ Pcoc - 86% Accuracy - 27.2% Crit Chance - 636% Multi - 3.23 APS
6,601.6 Split w/ Crit Dmg Gem - 86% Accuracy - 27.2% Crit Chance - 794% Multi - 3.23 APS

6 Frenzy + 4 Power Charges:
27,146 Frenzy - 86% Accuracy - 37.2% Crit Chance - 797 Crit Multi - 4.74 APS
6,844.4 Split w/ Pcoc - 86% Accuracy - 37.2% Crit Chance - 636% Multi - 3.23 APS
8,188.1 Split w/ Crit Dmg Gem - 86% Accuracy - 37.2% Crit Chance - 794% Multi 3.23 APS

On All DPS Stats + Shock Stacks (30% Per) + 10% Per Shock Stack / Burn (Fire Dmg on my Ring) / Freeze (Cold dmg on my amulet & hatred from party). This totals to a maximum of 140% increased damage if I have everything stacked.

If you don't go IR or get armour from gear that I believe you should use Lightning coil. I don't like acrobatics that much, I currently get around 10-13% Physical Damage reduction from gear which I would like to keep to add onto my DR from Lightning Coil.

@KouGrizzle

I don't think with that level of gear and/or damage reflect will be an issue for you. Blood dance will satisfy your needs for a long time without needing to use a LGoH/LL Gem.

i have Voltaxic how need lvl for use start build?

Go Build 1 for now and regret later
or
Follow Build 3 and get your crit nodes at the end. Use anger + wrath and than drop anger when you go crit.

Mana Reserved is
Aura Percentage * Reduced Mana Gem * Reduced Mana from Gear/Passives
180 * 0.71 = 127.8
127.8 * Reduced Mana From Gear/Passives = 99.9 Mana Reserved
Reduced Mana from Gear/Passives = 0.7817
100 - 78.17 = 21.83%
To run 3 60% Auras you need a level 20 reduced mana gem and atleast 21.83% Mana Reserve Reduction from Gear/Passives. Hope that helps!

Whatever gives you more dps, which I will assume is wrath + anger over hatred + wrath. You can also swap auras in lets say a fire resist or cold resist map aswell. I would recommend testing both out.

I only am doing 1200 dps with lightning arrow using a lionseye I feel like im not doing that much damage at all. Is this a good dps? I don't see your dps in your main post. Also how much would the dps increase swapping to a voltaxic bow

Also would you suggest picking up crit multiplyer on gear for lightning arrow?

I was doing around ~2500 Chain LMP Lightning Arrow with a lioneyes and build 1

I posted my DPS stats in depth for Build 3

I'm following the basic LA build for my character (81 duelist in nem). Since I have Alpha's Howl and 99% of my mana reserved running Grace+Wrath+Anger, I need both blood magic and leech links. In a 5L LA, would the best 5th link be chain or WED? Thanks for your help.

Yes, you helped me a lot. Thanks a lot for detailed explanation.

Hey I have a question, I've been using this build as a guideline to follow on my newly created ranger and there is one thing that concerns me, while doing for example scepter of god when I use lightning arrow to clear packs I get really, really low on life every time due to blood magic, I'm getting so low that sometime one unfortunate critical hit can kill me, is this a common risk factor with this build or do I need to re-prioritize my gearing choices? (My stats are posted below: )


Currently using this setup: Lightning Arrow - Blood Magic - Weapon Elemental Damage - Lesser Multiple Projectiles - Chain.





Thanks in advance for any sort of constructive response :)
