[1.1] Davos Seaworth's Elemental Split Arrow Build - Solo every map with ease!

With anger my anger my DPS on split arrow goes from 694 (with wrath) to 914 (with wrath+anger). But I've only got 37% dmg reduction compared to 55% with Grace on, guess I'll have to wait until I can run 3 to get anger going.

NVM

Davos, why Anger instead of Hatred?

Is it because of the burning damage?

Asking because I've been leveling a SA Ranger and was looking at a VERY similar setup only mine used IG in combination with Hatred vs Anger. I'm curious what the damage difference between the two is.

Here's my planned skill tree

Anger adds flat fire damage. It is a more universal solution for all bows. If the bow you are using has high physical damage then hatred is nice to have. ( Pdam * 0.3x > Fdam from anger that is)

It's got a few less 8% life nodes and starts the evasion/life route in ranger for a bit more survivability than the AS or projectile dmg side and goes for IG after you've circled most of the tree to get to the Static blows and shock node. You could finish the build out by going for the Aspect of the Eagle circle around the Ranger tree and/or more life nodes as needed.

To begin with, there is no burning damage. The only way to ignite an enemy with Split Arrow is to score a critical strike with a high amount of fire damage, and this build does not deal critical strikes.

The reason we don't use Hatred is because it converts a percentage of your physical damage into cold. This build does almost no physical damage whatsoever. You should be using a bow with all 3 elements on it. A tri-elemental bow doesn't have room for increased physical damage mods. This build is about 95% elemental damage and 5% physical damage. Using Hatred would add almost no dps. Anger, on the other hand, adds a ton of damage. For my character it adds about 1300 dps to my Split Arrow, which is almost 1/3rd of my total dps.

It adds the damage. About a third of it near lvl 20 in fact. Which can be a lot if you have a physical bow as Paranormia said.

Sorry if this has been asked before but, is this build viable in HC/Nemesis?
