Name: Instantkill
Class: Ranger
Level: 59
Build: Claw physical
After the wipe of stats in the 0.9.10 patch, i've decided
to go with an unusual build, that means claw phys dmg with flicker strike. Looked good on paper. Now it's impossible to kill cruel as a 59 ranger. So go and have some fun :)



HAHAHAHA, you aren't the only one that the skill reset gave htem a character that doesn't work.

I left my ranger with none of my points used since I don't want to screw her up, waiting for another patch.

But have friends that ruined their builds, and took some time to fix or they quit.

My builds usually start on paper, as I level figure out what needs changing, and do so as I go, utlize quest respecs. And then I get something similar to what I planned yet is still fun and useable. Sucks when you just burn all your points into something to realize it doesn't work.

I wonder if the devs will try it so they can feel your pain?


Dude, just farm Orbs of Regret, so easy.

I've got 3 Orbs of Chance, just last week.
Shrubbery is a level 57 Ranger wielding a War Axe and a Crested Tower Shield. The build isn't really special, just a deviation from classic Bow Ranger.




After patch 0.9.10's Passive Skill Points reset I was able to go for +60% Elemental Damage. I realized also the importance of level difference so now I'm trying to be always 3 levels above the enemies. She's doing pretty good atm I reckon. However she was getting "1 shot" by rare Vaal constructs in the Vaal Ruins, so I'm waiting till level 60 or so to proceed further.

This is how I "prep" her in Merciless Act 2 maps:

* Swap Fire Trap with Hatred, activate it, and put back Fire Trap.

* First slot is Flicker Strike, or Molten Shield depending if I need the extra damage buffer (eg. Weaver's Lair, Vaal Ruins, ...)


Usually I gather a group of enemies, drop an Enfeeble Totem which acts as a short time decoy and reduces the damage taken, drop a Fire Trap, and Cleave happily through the lot :) Monkeys in Forest are especially satisfying :)

Cleave + Life Gain On Hit is very useful to survive in those messy fights. When enemies spread then I Shield Charge and use Double Strike. Heavy Strike + Culling Strike is useful to finish rare enemies and life regenerating enemies.

I have been experimenting with Lightning Strike + Chance to Ignite, and now Lightning Strike + Pierce + Weapon Elemental Damage (boring, right), so I don't know what combination will be on by the time you make the backups.

Lightning Strike is for softening up large groups, and/or while retreating if she gets overwhelmed.

She takes a bit getting used to because she's quite fragile, hence Totem and Cleave + Life Gain quite important.

She's got 48% DR now with a 829 Armour shield, so my next goal is to increase Evasion on the rest of the equipment to reach 50-ish%. Hence she is now wearing a mask and I hope to replace the gloves and boots with high evasion pieces.

Resists are a bit low atm. after swapping equipment so Totem's her best friend :)

Once she gets some good CTE and Maxed Resists I'll use Vulnerability with L.S. + Ignite and Fire Trap, should be fun!
Name: Ricdowi (Default)
Class: Shadow
Level: 25
Build: Dual Wands with trap support
Skills:
Phase Run (escapes)
Fire Trap (for AOE)
Power Siphon with Lesser Multiple Projectiles support (main attack skill)
Projectile Weakness curse mostly for the pierce.
Raise Zombie

Play style: Curse enemies in front with projectile weakness and lay down waves of Power Siphone goodness. Follow up with traps if needed and have a few wondering zombies around to draw fire.

Not really the best build but it's fun :)

You could play my HC Bowrauder Coloussus. I will also specifically remake my aura/summoner character for this.
RIP Bolto

I can't see a character on your account like that at the moment :(


He does have a character like that. Or had. I don't know if he still does. He made a thread about it. Don't you remember seeing THIS THREAD?
We've posted the first episode here! Here's a thread to discuss it, which includes a link to the video.

Please keep the nominations coming! Thanks :D
