worthless standtard roa garbage guide

nice OP update. I'm using LG so the fix doesn't do anything to those that also do.
I did find it hilarious however after looking at the post you made in Akira's thread, to find yet another GIF in the OP, then another gif in response to one of the many people that have overreacted to the patch ,,, haha love your work.

This is bullcrap. Just get Resolute Technique and you are good to go. 2 skillpoints doesn't ruin the build.

The only advantage RoA had over LA was that it did not need any accuracy in order to utilize critchance and critdamage.
With that advantage gone, sure you can go ahead and get resolute technique for two points, but the important thing here is the critchance and critdmg lost when compared to a LA build.
There is no reason NOT to play a LA build under these circumstances.
Playing a hands down worse version of another build pretty much means its dead.
You guys dont even understand that the 2 point investment isnt whats breaking the skill apparently.
When it comes to LG, basing a whole build on a unique is fine, but its not accessible to everyone, and on top of that LA would still be superior given the same items.

You can take the exact same skillbuild pretty much, and play it on LA (with your 2 point resolute adjustment). You now got a stronger and more flexible build.
You gear for pretty much the same stats once critchance and critdmg is gone, so there is no reason NOT to switch to the superior skill.

keep your solo standard shit to your thread please

Impressive argument. And how about... no?
Openly saying that you have "no respect for the other RoA build" without naming that it is mine, is borderline pathetic.
Whats that jab about anyways? Are you hurt that your build is actually inferior to mine or that your build was a blatant copy of mine in the first place? Borderline pathetic.

hey im not looking to cause any drama since this looks like a touchy subject but I started playing a couple days ago and after looking at all the builds, I decided to go with Rain of arrows.

I am really enjoying it however I am hearing after the patch it might not even be viable/as good as other top builds. I have read the patch notes and it's kinda confusing for a new player.

I would love to stick with this build im having a good time I just don't want to be weak later on. Without the experience I can't judge how big this nerf is. I am only doing softcore ATM if that matters at all.

thank you ghoun for your clear answer.
guess i ll check other gems :p

Borderline pathetic because you're not able to say pathetic as a whole ? that's the gayest thing I've ever seen and I've been exposed to gay porn

Yah I'm so jelly of your character who run away from monkeys, with a dps so bad you can't post the tooltips and with deaths way more regular that you'd like to be, because you can be talking big on your thread but the last time I checked you on poestatistics there were some days with negative experience.
If you see similarities outside of the skeleton going from marauder to duelist in the skilltree (which you know you're the only one who came up with that shit so I had to take it from you) you should check your vision or your ego, because I despise how terrible your guide is and that some people who discover the game inspire their character from your piece of shit. You have terrible ideas, kill your physical damage to get some imaginary dps with blackgleam, but I don't go in your thread because retards like you are attached to their delusions. "can solo each map" more like solo only thread, too bad that path of exile is a game where it's anything but optimized to play solo. The worse thing about it is how you used to pat yourself on the back that you were better than teams who skipped piety at some point and congratulating yourself on the use of topaz flask. Well guess what, people are terrible at video games and standard allows more of these people into maps than hc so stop comparing yourself to others and try to look at your char/build for what it is. RoA might be slightly damaged by the patch but that's nothing compared to what your brain suffers.
So how about you gtfo my thread and keep doing your retarded business in yours.

Nothing personal of course, same as la I'm just sad that people are choosing or considering bad options.

it's kinda wierd that u keep harping on crit chance n dmg when ur build only takes a grand total of 3 crit chance nodes.

u can remove ur 3 crit nodes and will hardly notice any dps diff lol.

15.7% overall critchance with a 325% critdmg multiplier translates to about 40-50% more overall dps against bosses and rares or very high resistance mobs (since everything else is instagib).
You can recuperate some of that by going for other stats on items postpatch, but they will only work as additive scaling factors (additional WED will only be added on top of your existing WED), while critchance and critmult function as another MORE damage multiplier.

Basically you wont be able to recuperate anything close to 50% more damage.
The best bet to recuperate the lost damage here is to go for a lot of additional attackspeed if you dont have any yet, because then it will function as a true more damage multiplier, but it will also function as a true "less survivability" multiplier because it increases your health drain.
Considering the patch already lowers health regeneration due to health node nerfs, this will make a lot of attackspeed hurt even more so.
