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

Thanks for the update! Much appreciated. I think Oak gives +40 life now though, not +45. Bah, I ended up taking the skill point. :(

nice builds but i'm so screwed lol sooo different from the one i was following (original)

Btw since i like ice damage more than lightning i made this build

damn this update would take so many regrets to fix at 59 i think it would be better to just start over :(

Why is resolute technique deemed necessary when our accuracy is going to be so high anyway?

Mr Petrov,

I started leveling a ranger following your close beta build yesterday. I have reached level 45 and now I see you have updated your build due to Diamond Flasks being removed. I figured out that I can use all my respec points and 8 orbs of regret to get to your new tanky build. My question to you is this. Is the differnce between the old beta build and the new tanky version worth my respec points? Or is the beta build very close dps wise even without the diamond flasks?

I also would like to know if multiple projectiles works the way I think it does, in that it will out perform lightning pen when there are 2 or more mobs close enough to each other. Say for example there are 2 zombies right next to each other and you fire off a LA with LMP. Each zombie gets hit with a LA. Does each zombie also take the aoe dmg from the other zombies LA hit? Is this how it works?

Thanks a ton for you guide, it really helped me figure this game out. I just started playing a few days before open beta.
Look forward to hearing from you.

What kind of gear should I be using, in terms of type of armor.

Very nice work petrov!
If I might ask a question regarding the "tankier + shock stacking" build (or maybe makea suggestion): why do you, from the first 3 elemental nodes, use the path you've chosen to reach Iron Reflexes? Wouldn't it be a 'smarter' choice to continue left from Thick Skin and go down and pick up Iron Reflexes from that direction? The point cost would be the same either way (only +dex nodes) but you would have the option to pick up Savant or the HP nodes if you feel like playing more safe or if you have some gear that requires int. These can then later be respecced.

erlook - actually when I first built that build I did go that way you suggest. As you say, while levelling it is probably in fact a better way so you can get the +30 Int node. The only reason I didn't go that way finally was that I always had a sneaky desire to head up the east highway to get the Alchemist node - but didn't. I'll update the build with your suggestion, its a sensible one - thanks.

Petrov.

why everyone use lighting arrow?
burning arrow useless?

I don't think head way up to the witch area to get the cold damage nodes are worth it - I'd drop those nodes, personally (109 is not a realistic build, unless you're mouze)
