Is it still decent for soloing high level maps? 11k frenzy and 4k split seems low for claiming they can solo high level maps?

What's your kill speed like on high level maps? Any vids?

Cheers, looks interesting, might try this out soon.

You could add something about "cast on damage taken + decoy totem + additional stuff" trick that makes survival much easier. Ok, you need to get hit to cast it... but it's worth it. Buys more then enough time to move to another shooting position if needed, especially with temporal chains in link. Add meat shield in form of skeletons, and you don't have to worry about anything except really hard hitters like vaal, kole, dungeon map boss etc. ;)
It might be useful to get second decoy totem to cast it manually, so you can keep those rare bosses on decoy totem all the time, but it's worth it anyway.
Only thing i'm wondering, is that if i should change temporal chains for endurance cry.. totem by it self usually distracts mobs enough to move away, and enduring charges would be really useful since i don't have much physical damage reduction (only 18% for now :/ )

Before the patch my SA dps was just under 3k and I wrecked any maps up to lvl 76. Lvl 77 maps weren't slow, but my kill speed could've been quicker. Now I'm at 4.6k dps and I'm clearing lvl 77 maps faster than I was on my pre-patch Cleave Ranger with 22k Cleave dps (was using two non-dps gems on Cleave - Increased AOE and Life Leech).

I'm not sure if you've played an archer type character, but 4.5k with Chain is pretty high. The highest dps I've ever seen anyone get with SA + Chain is 6k and that was with near-perfect offensive stats on gear after sacrificing defensive stats.

Yup I plan to do that after I've tested it out myself. I just started playing again after a 2 month break so I need to see what's what. Thanks for the suggestion!

If you're in standard league, I'm giving away my old bow to a new player who has need of it. Please don't be a dick and ask for it if you're sitting on 20 exalts :)



Also giving away a 5L chest

Ey, Davos, big thanks for updating your build! =) It's been the best newbie-friendly build I've tried so far. ( but then, I'm only on my second character, I suppose)

Duuude, that stuff is sweet! Could I perhaps have it? Or is it already spoken for?
can I use RoA+Conc Effect instead of Split Arrow? i really like the concept of the build,but I never felt comfortable using split arrow and LA+LMP
Just started this yesterday on Nemesis can't wait to run it!
