hey whats your hp and your dps on your RoA? Im debating whether I should regret my marauder into RoA or just make a new ranger.

9K hp and 16.3K RoA... Mauraders are GREAT for RoA. Not sure how they compete in DMG at the moment. i know for a fact Maura's have more STR based DMG. w/ iron grip.

First of all, thanks for this awesome guide, and thank you for sticking with us and asking all these questions; its been extremely helpful! Now, I have a question of my own: I noticed that the lightning arrow build generally doesn't dig into any damage nodes except some elemental damage nodes later on. Does this mean you're relying on your equipment/gems for damage early on? I'm tempted to grab those elemental damage nodes that you pass on the way to iron reflexes(I remember seeing someone else say they had grabbed these nodes as well and it was working nicely for them). Thoughts/suggestions?

Oh yeah, almost forgot...one last question pertaining to this:

Quivers/Ring/Belts: I collect these. and sell 5 at a time to the vendor to get 1 back! Very Effective.

What do you mean ?

if you have 5x ilvl 70+ Quivers. you can sell 5 of them at once to get 1 rare quiver back from the vendor at the lowest ilvl sold.

ie; if you sell ilvl 77, 66, 75, 56, 65
you will get a rare ilvl 56 quiver back.. so make sure what you are selling is ALL around the same ilvl of the stats you want.

you can do the same with belts, rings, boots, gloves, anything to be honest

Do I have to turn in 5 blue items to get a rare in return..or will 5 whites work just fine?

I believe if you sell 5 whites/blues/rares, you get 1 white/blue/rare (lowest lvl) one back.

THIS :)


sell 5 rares, get 1 rare back.

5 X Rare LIGHT QUIVER, = 1x Rare Light Quiver.

same with blue,

then with whites(<---- IDK why you would do this) haha

UPDATE: 17K DPS!!! looking for upgrades for these 2 items!

chance to gain more links on a white?

Nice build. 1 Q, you have purity linked to blood gem? thats alot of hp , no?

Question: If one takes Iron Reflexes, would there be any reason not to get Unwavering Stance, since your evasion rating goes straight to armor anyway? This is, of course, assuming your build brings you past both skills.

Unwavering stance has nothing to do with whether you are Armor OR Evasion... Unwavering stance is AWESOME for "OH SHIT" moments, but if you trust your play well enough. I feel that it is unnecessary to go down to it.

18K DPS!!!!!!!!
