hi I got a ? if you can help-ive asked a few of the top end range build specialists and just trying to get opinions.

but I did have a few questions on my build if youd oblige-
im running a shadow bow, tri ele bow, pretty good gear about 2800 health, my elemental hits tooltip says about 3k dmg, auras (grace,wrath, anger) pretty typical..i swap from LA to SA out of boredom but both do about same facemelting dmg.
was just curious now that im like lvl67 im kind of torn between the route I want to take.
ive about 80 health regen and maxed res depending on rings,ammy I wear

would you recommend going down that bottom path to golems blood and beserking area?
or head over to fury bolts and acceleration?
dump more HP nodes or ele dmg?
last one LOL, was wondering about those nodes by the shadow starting area SHOCK and FREEZE if itd be worth grabbing those to add to the static shock % or maybe an extra freeze boost (I never see anyone grab those in builds)

thanks again for your opinion and feedback very appreaciated

Is Petrovs Build still working well??

Hey Petrov!

Thanks for the build! I got a question concerning the item stats to go for:

You suggest to go for flat damage like +1-20 lighting damage, right?

But when I need to decide between +% physical damage and +% elemental damage: Is it the best way to go for +% physical damage, because:

a) of the damage formula that always converts the base physical damege,
b) what means that it concerns not just one elemental type of damage, but all kinds?

Would be glad to hear some answers!

Best regards,
Peter

I am currently running a lvl 59, Physical ranger and I am thinking of making the move to elemental to increase my DPS. Could someone suggest the build I am best moving too? I currently have enough to respec about 20-30points.

Current Build


Current Gear

this build trades 8% eva from dex and 31% projectile damage 1.5% life per second for % life 3% resist all 30% elemental damage 10 health 4% physical damage . Elemental damage being better because it scales your auras as well as your normal damage. But when running kaoms the extra 150 life per second probably makes up for the loss in damage.

By the way people physical conversion will always do more damage than elemental damage once you run added fire and hatred andiron grip to the mix.

Just a quick and nooby question:

Why do people almost always take Iron Reflexes?

Isnt armor weaker than evasion?
Or is just for the "Cannot be stunned" from Unwavering Stand?


Best regards

Love this build, I've been having a lot of fun with it!

Quick Question, why in the Tank / Shock build do you grab BM but for the Kaom's Heart build you skip BM and rely on Gems?

I can see the advantage of each approach, freeing up gems slots vs having some extra mana to run some aura's but I can't see why Kaom's heart impacts the decision.

Cheers
