comparing dps between different skill isn't reliable, as they are having different mechanics
the dps is based on single hit * aps, not counting the extra chain from lightning arrow
assuming all your arrows hits (e.g. 6 of the split, 3/5 of lmp/gmp LA)
LA-LMP-chain has 3(LMP) * 3(chain) * 4(LA chain) = 36, total dmg would be 36* dps_on_sheet
SA-chain 6(SA) * 3(chain) = 18

(all without auras)
(and all my arrows hits yes)

my gear:

Thanks for this guide! Has really brought me a long way.

Quick question. As my gems are now hitting level 20, I am turning them into Q20. Is it worth it to Q20 the Chain gem?

Again, thanks for a great guide.

Hi Gangsta! Love the guide. Helped me a lot. Just to clarify, I do the 1-40 build first then once I reach 40 I follow the 1 - 80? If there are changes between the 1 - 40 and 1 - 80 then I just use Regret correct?

Also regarding the item trading, 5 gold rings = 1 rare gold ring with the lowest level from the 5 sold right? What about the mods on the ring? Do they carry over to the new item?

Planning on rolling a new char but still an archer. What level should i take blood magic?

When should I go blood magic? I do not go Blood Magic until my Life on hit gem or LL gem is at optimal level. 10-15... Leveling as a Ranger SUCKS. Very mana intensive and you need to learn to Spam abilities off of your mana pots filling up your mana pool.

I've Tried to Go CI! Like new versione Gankstaboo!

Well... it's cool to use blood rage But MANA is still a problem!

I've got

240 INT

Primal Spirit (+20% rigen), Mana Leech 2% and +8% Mana from skill tree

+ 93 Mana from Rainbowstride

+ 89 Mana from Lioneye's Glare

+ 20% Max Mana + 50% rigen from Dream Frangments

+ 40% rig mana from other Ring

But my ROA with (Faster Attack, Added Fire, Conc Effect (15% reduce mana cost from quality), Weapon Elemental Damage costs 58 MANA!!

I can barely sostain it... i cannot spam it as i would like...

I needed to waste 1 potion slot for mana... and it's now super efficient as it should...

SO SAD! :(

Bear Trap + Added Fire Dmg + Bear Trap + Culling Strike (gives you 6 Bear traps to throw!!! INSANE DMG) Obviously you will need a 3 Link with G-R-G-G

or this one: Bear Trap + Multi Trap + Added Fire Damage + Culling Strike?
Which would be better?

Great guide
