Petrov's Elemental Bow Ranger Build(s) (0.10)

Why do you say level 1 - 5 max? I'm pretty new so just trying to understand reasoning for certain things. :)

hi

been following this build, i just have a quick question, not sure if its already been answered. but what what level should you get split arrow to? it says to get lighting arrow to 1-5 max but what about split arrow?

please answer thanks!!

Quick Q, How much HP are you expecting to have with this build? I know its partially dependant on gear but im just looking for a ballpark. Like 4-5k?

I wonder this myself.

Also, what am I looking for in a bow besides speed and sockets?

I would also like to know if LA is the only skill I should keep below lvl 6... and just lvl the rest away?

Because the intent is to only use those skills for the effect; in the case of LA, you are using it for the Shock chance. Once you start augmenting the skills (especially in 5L and 6L builds) the life costs will be very high.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the multipliers are based off of the original cost of the skill.

Assuming I follow this build and complete it... would it be worth getting any of these next?
1. Resolute Technique
2. Blood Drinker
3. The 1% regen by the Duelist

the mana cost for LA in OB was flattened. i think it's ok to max out LA (not just level 5)..

I'm confused, isn't the ability to shock not a factor anymore with LA?

According to the 0.10.0 patch notes posted on Jan.23.2013, LA's ability to shock has been removed.

I'm still a newbie to this game and love the game, but it's hard for me to distinguish advice on what used to work in builds, and what doesn't now in OB.

Hello.

May someone give me a list of active gems I need to make this build work?

And support gems + bandit rewards will be nice to know as well!

Thank you!
