[1.0.0] Level 99 - Arly's Aura based LA bow marauder [9280 dps - 7375 life]

Hello, my name is Arlius and I am the 3rd highest marauder on standard ladder as well as the highest bow user marauder on the ladder (level 99). I wanted to share my build and thoughts on a build I have grown to enjoy very much. This build can be adapted to several other classes as mentioned in the "Class rankings/Build variants" section.

Pros:
- Reworked for 1.0 - one of top Tier 1 end game builds
- High self buffed DPS
- Resistant to reflect due to voltaxic and 79 all resistances
- Runs several auras [purity + 3 additional auras of your choice]
- Highest survivalbility potential of any bow variant
- Easiest access to aura effect nodes, elemental adaptation and unwavering stance
- Massive synergy with blood magic keystones users as you will usually double their dps

Cons:
- Extremely high point requirement for aura reservation nodes
- Requires very high character and gear mark to be fully effective
- Very underwhelming at earlier levels
- Very little flexibility in gem configuration
- Harder to stack crit chance and maintain power charges
- Very weak single target frenzy compared to blood magic users
- Less life/dps/trigger gems than blood magic keystone users who rely on party aurs
- Will get teased by people who think marauders are a melee class





LA damage solo self buffs 9280 dps, 31.7 crit


Keep in mind my quiver and amulet are still far from optimal and my passives are still in flux. I expect this value to exceed 12000 once everything is complete. This is completely self buffed (my own auras and my own charges).


Frenzy damage solo self buff 27713.9


This can be raised to well over 38000 if you replace FA with WED and then 44000 if you replace pcoc with FA. I use FA because its easier to generate charges.


Defensive stats: 7375 life - 53 movespeed - 324.5 life regen


Life regen and movespeed are both incredibly underrated stats. With vitality, life regen is over 500.


Gear




Skills:
Purity - haste - anger- reduced mana
enduring cry - wrath - cast on damage taken - reduced mana
LA - WED - LMP - Chain - Life leech - blood magic
Frenzy - PCOC - Faster attack - blood magic

Bandit quest:
Passive (8% life node > 40 flat life)
Help Kraitlyn (8 ias)
Pick power charge for (50 crit chance) , frenzy for 5 ias or 1 passive for % 8% life

Build/gear optimization/tactics

Character building is about balance. Don't go overboard on dps. Focus on survivability first and foremost.

Overstacking resists: Do not over stack your resistances, this is lazy and unoptimized. Get exactly enough to hit max or a little over and use a gear swap on ele weak maps.

Gem swapping: swap out WED gem for LoH on ele reflect maps and maybe even stasis/half-regen/-max maps because one reflect mob can ruin your day and burn 10 exalts worth of time.

Aura swapping: its a good idea to swap out haste for vitality on half regen maps because your skills cost almost 200 mana to cast. Just replace enduring cry for vitality and dont use haste.





Gear analysis
Bow - Voltaxic is arguably the best bow if you want to level your character past level 92. Reflect is simply too dangerous but remember thorns will still gimp you.
Armor - Koams heart
Gloves - Thunderfist are unbeatable for dps
Belt - A rare belt with tri res and life is ideal, WED is a nice bonus.
Ring/Amulet - Life + wed + ele or some flavor of the 3 and some resists
Quiver - Wed,life,ias and some resists
Helm - personal choice but i love having 20 more movespeed
Boots - life, movespeed and as much resists as you can find


Class rankings/Build variants

Marauder = 10/10
Ranger = 9.8/10
Shadow = 7/10
Duelist = 6/10
Scion = 5/10
Templar = 3/10
Witch = 1/10

All desired mods? Not a single MF mod. This isn't even worth wearing. PoE = item finding, that's it. No PvP scene, nothing. When you put on gear that doesn't have MF you gimp your character. It becomes absolutely pointless to even play when you're not finding anything at all with almost zero MF on your items. Terrible ring. Hope that helps.

You remind, of someone.... you remind me of a lvl 97 who says things like he knows but has no idea. Nessa is waiting for your donation btw

I have chosen rpg games,EXACTLY for the reason to play alone for fun.

If i wanted social party play i would go to some mmo..

With the decreased map drops its almost imposible to sustain alone maps, without spending 200 exalts per day...

The party group policy is such a fail.

It lags. stutters, bugs, disconect all the time( without be able to reenter map.. which is total stupidity)

Crashes, etc....


WHy are u forcing us to play party...

Goal: Wipe out enemies in 1-2 shots before they can harm you, imo, that's how range characters should be played.

Stats: Frenzy 58k dps, 79% crit chance, Split arrow: 18k dps 68% crit chance, 3800 es, capped all resist

Gear:
Spoiler


Build:

Must have item:
Spoiler
A high crit chance+ high dps Harbinger bow, all other items are luxury items, but try to get crit chance on your quiver and ring, get crit damage multiplier on amulet


Reason for the build:
Spoiler
I am tired of getting one shot by Reflect mobs. Vaal Pack is good against it, but then i can't use flask. Since i can't use flask, then i rely purely on life leech, so i decided to use Blood Rage. The chaos damage is a pain in the butt, maybe pure es/ci build can solve that. Since i go ci, i can't use blood magic, but the cost of LA it huge. So i changed to split+frenzy. I changed all the life+blood magic nodes to Es/crit nodes, and the build is complete.


Over coming down sides.
Spoiler
I have barely any armor, but i can 1-2 shot any mobs before they get anywhere close to me. Ranged mobs are usually elemental damage, so it won't hurt unless you have negative resist. You kite around bosses, and you should be able to kill them within a few sec. If you want to be tanky, than build a melee char. This is not a glass canon, but Imo it's how ranged character should be played.


Lvling:
Spoiler
Level up as a LA ranger until lvl 70+, only respec into CI when you have the suitable gear!!! If you want to know how to lvl up a LA ranger, follow ZiggyD's guide on that.
Do what ever you want with the bandit quest, but try to help oak in cruel for the %physical damage.

Video
Spoiler
This is my first time using a streaming software, sorry for the bad quality. It's me running a lvl 74 white map solo. I know i wasted the map for running it white and without any chisels, but i think it exemplifies that this build is viable.


Problems I encountered:
Spoiler
Mana issue, I have the 2% mana leech from passive, but some times I still run into mana problems.
Limited map mods:
Map modes you can't run :
Blood Magic
Map modes you should avoid (not impossible, but can be troublesome):
Physical reflect
No mana regen
Mana regen 50% slower


Why i make this guild:
Spoiler
Lack of physical bow ranger guide in the forum. Beside i just completed my gear set today, and i want to share with people who are interested. I am not here to show off my gear, because some gears are mirrored, there is no honor/point to show off something that i do not own but a copy of it.


Hope you enjoy it, and any suggestions are welcome.
