worthless standtard roa garbage guide

Hello, I have been waiting since patch 0.11 with my full passive skill reset. I was waiting to see if I would still like RoA, and I still like it. I think I can go ahead and full reset, but question remain what I could improve. What I got so far look like this :



my gear


Running 7 aura (grace, anger, wrath, determination, vitality, hatred, purity)

7.2k tooltip dps, 10.8k armor, 4k life, 80% all res and -13% chaos

There many version of passive tree for RoA, not sure what is more up to date


Thx for help!

I haven't seen any discussion around the new unique The Blood Dance, am I the only one wearing a pair? I guess that people with 6 links don't need it as much, but I've been struggling to get a RRR on my 5L Carcass so I can use BM + LL + WED on my ROA, and after 500 chromes I don't have it yet. So I've bought a pair (good roll) for 4 gcp to see if it allows me to replace LL by WED. And untill now it works quite well, I go from 107 health regen second to 257 with 5 frenzy charge; right now I only have 3k hp. And max resists (running Purity Grace Wrath Anger). Any opinions?

My gear (I'm level 82):




edit: Hmmm for half regen maps I have to put LL back.

Yeah, that unique is really good, but I don't think it can compete with life leech on its own
What's your hit chance ? you have some acc on your gear. If you're playing without RT, how bad is it on enfeeble maps ?

I'm playing without RT, my hit chance is 79%. I've tried quite some maps, and I think it does not compete with LL, especially in HC. However, for low level and easy maps, it works pretty well. It allows you to gain a lot of dps if you only have a 5L without sacrificing too much survivability. Your health does go down a little bit, but not that much (with 4 a/s). Some pots help but against trash they're not necessary if they die fast cause your health goes up fast between two waves.

It's also not viable in Reflect maps and half/no regen ones. I haven't tried enfeeble ones yet.

All this was about do these boots can replace LL. But they can also complete LL very well. Running both LL and this regen is pretty awesome. So for now I'm really satisfied with them.

My build:

@grahf can you tell us the difference the patch makes about monster evade ?

Otherwise I'll update once I feel like I have something solid

I can't say for sure, but I've gained a huge 10% chance to hit, and that's vastly noticeable. So all I can say is that I hit a lot more (89%). Besides that the +20% more proj speed is great like most of the buffs. Post patch I've lost around 6% damage reduction, which was not too bad but then I've decided to respec pure eva + acrobatics. At the beginning I was quite satisfied with 10.5k eva (with lvl 21 grace and the buff from the 6 frenzy charges), but I've experienced some hits that almost 1 shot me (stupid boss of dunes map...), so I'm starting to consider moving back to IR... damn, this ranger has cost me so much in regrets (at least 60).

Gear, some new




Still loving The Blood Dance.

guide updated, the 108 points build is probably the most relevant
It's not perfectly refined but it should be a start

I see no point in using Blood Dance shoes, unless you are killing bosses - which is, what, 5-10% of this game? You would lose overall DPS by using them. Since RoA already 1, 2, or 3 shots everything, your 'extra damage on low life' would never trigger. So, what's the point? Or do you just use them to get free frenzy charges?

As I've said before, I haven't been able to 6 link my Carcass, neither RRR it while 5L. So I'm unable to use WED. With these shoes, I can remove LL from my ROA and put WED instead, which is awesome. It's not safe on high level maps, 50% regen/no regen or reflect ones, but it works very well to farm low level ones.

On another note, I came back to IR, I was so squeashy with EVA.

Linking your bow and matching those sockets would be easier then the chest.
