Ok... I've followed the build to a T. I'm in Merciless Act 2, and find myself lacking in DPS
So so so so much :( I know it's not the build, it's me, but can you please help me figure out whats wrong?

I am prolly not qualified to answer this since I am only in cruel difficulty, but that bow you are using seems really really weak. Sure it is a 5L, but my much lower level bow does way more damage, definitely upgrade it with something better.

Yeh, I'm really trying to :( that 5L is so Hard to let go of.... /cry.

I'm level 57 now, Act 2 in Merciless and.... it's just... man.. I'm SO weak!

Gotta let go of the bow, man. I know it might be tough to let go of certain items. If my bow at level 30 is stronger than your bow at level 57, that is a big problem.

You will come across another 5L soon, I hope. One that'll really let you open on enemies.

Thanks for the support :) You're right of course. I'm looking for a x4L bow of my appropriate level with at least double element, hopefully I getlucky and find one in the next couple days, for now the best I can do is farm ledge for xp.

actually you don't nececary need good links on the bow - I'd rather try to get 4Ls for the armor slots where you don't have them yet and just take any good bow regardles of the sockest/links - imo far easier to progress that way.

e.g. my equip in A3 Cruel - changed like 3 items in the last 20 levels (weapon, 1 ring, boots) - 51 now - far from perfect equip but as a ranged class you can get away with lower quality 4L Armor easier than with a crappy damage Bow with good links:

I am having a bit of a Question here are there still people that use this build? i encounter at lvl 32 much mobs that have elemental resistance act 3 atm and also what skills do most of you use and what do you aim for on gear? Thanks in Advance, FixtElix

love the game :)

I've been following this build. Level 43 and yes there was some growing pains in the 30's with it. Basically once you get Iron Grip it starts to get a lot better.

Here is my build so far:



About to get Blood Magic, and I have a nice Life Leech gem waiting for me. Got a granite flask as well that has helped with hard fights.

Question I have is after I get blood magic what's next for importance?

Go back up top to fill out more Str/Life and work towards maybe Resolute Technique?

Continue South and get nice stuff like berserking, leather and steel, steel skin and the Golem's Blood?

i use a variation of this and as for gear choices - mine is posted above - not perfect and using Ice shoot instead of Lightning Arrow atm (since i found a nice 16% one) and Burning instead of Ele Hit (still not high enough lv yet).

as for resistances:

I usually go about it like this:
proj weakness, 1 poison arrow (with fork/pirce/cold dam) for the chaos dot
and then AE away with Ice Shoot (LMP, fater attacks/LoH)

and if its a single mob Burning Arrow (Fire Penet, LL, Weapon Ele)
repeat curse/poison arrow 1 ice shoot for ground cold chill kite a bit and Burning arrow again.

usually does the trick

an added Chaos Dam support somewhere might help here too

I would go on something like this for the next few levels (btw removed some sub optimal nodes - you might or might not want to actually do that though)

in general i try to avoid the plain tripple 8% life nodes and go for the 8/8/12 ones for example - you might consider to connect below and get berserk and unwavering stance too and later remove 3 dex nodes that connect to Iron grip on the right side up.

You're gear is awesome! We should play sometime you can show me how the cold shot works! I want to give that a go.

I picked this up tonight. I'm embarrassed to say how much I paid. :( I couldn't let it go I needed a new bow SO BAD!

What you guys/gals think? Hit me up with any tips/help/suggestions in game I'm "Zanzier"
