worthless standtard roa garbage guide

bump

So for my free respec I decided to try out a RoA build, but with dual totems. Problem is, I literally do ~300 tool tip DPS now.

Tree:


My gear is all pretty decent and I'm using a 5 link for the totems, I don't see why my damage is so low. Any help?

Perhaps you should post your gear. It really depends on gear and auras. I run a build with almost no damage in it and my single RoA totem tooltip is 1400 dps using a 4L, which doesn't include point blank or chin sol's damage increase.

Even my pure IIR/IIQ gear has more than 300 so it sounds like you aren't using auras. I run wrath, anger, haste, hatred, clarity. These make a huge difference, especially with all of your WED talent points.

Think I might try this build on Anarchy :)

How?.. .. I tried it too, and I was doing 1800 at level 60.

I had a 5 link though.

Did you take point blank? The totem build really shines with point blank + chin sol.

Edit: I abandon the totem build cause my mana / mana regen was way too wanky.

Nevermind found it

I run Haste, Hatred, Wrath, Anger, and Grace normally. My gear isn't top notch or anything but it still let me run a LA ranger at fairly decent DPS without much trouble.

Edit: Using all my auras gets me to ~700 DPS. Does not having leveled totem gems affect DPS?

use WED instead of life leech in your 5L. Almost all of your dmg is WED so it will be a massive increase. Life leech on a totem link only gives the totem minor life leech due to the rate being dependent on the max hp. You should see your damage skyrocket with WED support.

and once you can afford to drop BM, use faster attacks for even better dmg.

Also, if you want to fully take advantage of totems, make sure you have point blank and the unique chin sol bow. See my above posts for the reasons why.

And Added cold as a support for your bear trap is pretty bad since it barely increases the damage. I'd suggest switching it for another bear trap so that you can spam them. Bear trap-bear trap-added fire (culling strike is also fairly useless since bear trap does so much dmg it will almost certainly kill a 10% life monster regardless of the support. I like to use Item Quantity so that when I kill the bosses with bear trap they drop better items)

A leveled totem affects the HP of the totem, not the damage it does.

Just an update - i'm doing RoA totem, but i'm Blood magic. Just picked up Chin Sol, and now trying to 5L my carcass jack before I throw it on. I still need some resists, and hp to do maps, so just farming docks atm. My totems hit like trucks, but do die fast to voidbears.

Here's my gear

Any my current tree.

I'm going to stay Blood Magic, untill I can get a 6L, so I can slap on BM gem and use hatred, haste, determination, and vitality.

Also, i'm using a Frenzy+GMP+LGoH+Culling Strike link to help with regen and kill speed - may even be an option for no regen/half regen maps for you - just link it to BM (you still get LgoH even if you deal zero damage.)

On a sidenote, i'm kind of confused on what curses to use. Enfeeble I always have on my when needed, but projectile weakness, elemental weakness, or vulnerability?

Is the ideal quiver blackgleams or a nice rare?
