Any comments? Want to try something different. Wondering if it will work.

Bump. Still considering trying this over glacial hammer melee splash. Any critiques?

Yes... just do 4-5 68 Maps and you are fine :D

And the Passive-Tree is nearly a Standard LA-Build just with some differences on the bottom right. This is my LA-Mara Build

It's mostly the gem setup that makes it different, it is very similar to LA builds, except you do eventually drop blood magic, which most (good) LA builds do not - only running 3 auras.

The gear that is listed are just uniques to keep an eye out for while leveling or something to aim towards. It's mostly end-game stuf.

This build is horrible.

You are lacking crucial elements to making it work at all, literally.

1) No accuracy and no RT. Good luck hitting anything.
2) You spent most of your 100 pts traversing the tree, not getting strong keystones.
3) You end up without any real damage bonuses AND you didnt take Iron Grip on a str-based Bow build, which is just retarded.
So overall your damage output is horrid. (8% * 5 + 24% elemental dmg = 64% ele dmg // +12% bow dmg // +8% projectile dmg is all you have in the entire build)
4) Shock stacks dont do crap late game, and with 1 and 3 above, you'll be useless against any bosses.

Suggestions:
Why not focus on a bit better part of the tree where you can reap some benefit out of being there in the first place. If it costs you 10 pts just to get over to one part of the tree, so that you can take 1 node - you just wasted 11 points literally.

Also - you can benefit more from pumping phys bow dmg especially with 0.11 changes and turning that greater phys dmg into ele dmg via things like added fire, hatred, and any of the ele shots (LA, cold shot), and using the 25% phys->cold gloves or any of the items that typical ele builds use.

8% nodes on ele dmg will not give you as much damage as the 12% phys damage turned into ele damage nodes will - plus you'll have a greater base phys damage for leech. Which many ele builds forget about, and kill themselves.

A build like this could benefit greatly from Iron Grip + Vaal Pact, making yourself unkillable on reflect.

Try something like this for pure ele, although I'd prefer going more phys:

This build would be quite good for cold shot. With the 25% gloves you turn 75% of your damage into cold and take the 30% cold damage buff at deulist. Using the quiver you can turn the rest into fire, +added fire, justifies the 30% fire damage node.
(It would depend on the % roll on your quiver on how much dmg is fire and how much is cold, of course)

This build wont crit, but your build wont even hit - so its a good tradeoff.

I'm assuming you're talking about Deutonium's build - cause none of your points makes no sense for my build, from the OP.
