How would you change this (if at all) for onslaught. Seems low on HP nodes

Actually there are plenty of HP nodes in the spec and more then enough. My duelist has 4500 HP using this spec and since the nerfs that's considered HIGH end. If I had a Koams in the regular hardcore/softcore (I have a character on each) I would be 7-8k life.


This spec is good for any leagues. The only thing that's low on this spec is armor, but as an archer, you shouldn't be tanking stuff for long anyways.

Wait, so you use Resolute Technique in your tri ele 110 build while shock stacking comes mainly by doing critical hits? Or is Static blows sufficient?

Did you update this recently? I didn't see it before.

Shock also applies if you do a % damage of the monsters total life. The exact value I don't remember. Even back when I only had 500 LA, chain DPS every monster dead was sparkling with shock.

I've found two Weapon Elemental Damage gems on other characters. I linked them both to get Burning Arrow, Poison Arrow and Lightning Arrow to benefit from it. But i noticed the huge gain in mana use aswell. Will i suffer from this, early on with Blood Magic. Because I will have to have a LoH gem aswell then.

I've said time an time again, like most well planned builds the first half of the leveling experience can be daunting. You will, no matter what, HAVE to spam mana pots in the beginning, and life pots once u switch to BM until your life pool/regen becomes adequate to handle it. Get yourself some instant pots, use a belt with + flask recovery, and try to get flask recovery on critical hits on the actual flask. Be creative!!

Once you reach 3k life or the extra regen talents in marauder/Templar, u should be able to stop spamming as your life regen will be far greater then your skill cost.

The nerf to life nodes last patch only delayed the point which you receive enough regen. So rather then getting comfortable in 50s now you gotta wait till 60-70s depending on the order of passives.

AthenaUS why you take the skill point over the frenzy stack in merciless ???

That's actually cool. I'm lvl 72 now with only 68% accuracy rating, getting those 2 points extra to resolute technique would give me a more than 25% dps upgrade \o/ Still not using chain because I don't have a 5 link yet, and I feel like Life On Hit is more important to guarantee staying alive.

athena do u think Ranger buff will affect us? also is static blow essencial under this build?

Thanks.

No your DPS is not better with faster projectile. Your really killing the builds potential by not using chain. If you need an explanation why see previous 2 pages.

I haven't taken a look at the new ranger talents yet, and I'm gonna wait until official patch launch before making a determination. Regardless I don't think it will be as good as duelist but we shall see.

And yes static blows is necessary..

thanks Athena.

i can't find a chain on the moment, i am using fork and it kills fast. whats your view on Fork vs Chain?
