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

Quick question would it be at all advisable to use blood magic the gem not the passive skill and link that to lightning arrow and maybe add reduced mana? You could save a 10 points that way but would give up resolute technique and bezerking as well. Bad idea?

Seems like way too much hassle with too little gain. At that point you're taking up 1-2 links just to support blood magic, which cuts into your damage, and I don't think you could recoup that with the extra points you'd save.

Can anyone confirm this build being very safe/viable for HC or would it be better to follow Nugiyen's build listed below instead?

Hi guys i've been studying this thread for couple weeks now and i'm a level 34 hardcore ranger going for this elemental build with a few variations. I just wanted to ask ur opinion on my build and how it progresses as i will level up! All criticism is accepted gladly :P

Note: This build is strictly for survivability since im playing HC. I got the 6 node leather and steel. For all my builds im doing all the bandits quests for the extra skill point

So this is my current build at level 34 (Iron Reflexes)

My build at level 57 (Blood Magic, Iron Grip and Leather and Steel all 6 nodes)

My build at level 75 (Resolute Technique)

My End Game build (and another 3 points from the bandits to add wherever u want)

Similar end build with more elemental dmg but less armor and hp for softcore players

Pros: Lava Lash (30%more fire dmg), Ice Bite (30% more ice dmg) +40 str + 30 dext
Cons: 40% less armour and evation, 20% less life, 8% less movement speed

Please share ur thoughts guys, thanks for taking the time to read!

When I click on the "Show" button for your gear it doesn't show anything is it just me?

The gear doesnt show any more since the open beta reset.


Quick question about the original build:
Theres only 2 passive skill points going into any kind of resists (+ 18 fire and cold to get to the elemental dmg) --> does that mean, reaching the 80% max resists is entirely gear dependent?
Or did I just not see something in the passive tree?

This is my end-game Ranger (Elemental/Blood Magic) build. Feel free to share your thoughts, I want some feedback. (Intel nodes are strictly for requirement purposes, and I may need to add +30 Intel to meet higher requirements, not sure yet.) Thanks for your time.

Hi, I noticed you went for elemental damage in your "All Out Dps" tree, instead of weapon elemental damage, is this intended?

And thank you for updating this thread, its been very helpful, even the old build which I am currently basing my ranger on, helped loads in deciding which things to go for.

Will read up the rest of the updated versions
