Thanks for getting back to me. I really do appreciate your time and expertise on this. I know this is a silly question. But if you were me (lvl 45 ranger currently following old beta build) would you A) restart B) use the 18 quest respec points + some orbs to convert to new build, or C) continue with old beta version.

I only ask because you have more understanding of endgame and the game in general and I dont want to make a poor choice.

Much love for the help man. You are a rarity.


edit: also one thing to make note of, I do not have spare gems. I would be using only gems I get from quests/find if I were to restart, until I got back to lvl 45.

petrov i have just noticed 1 thing , maybe im wrong,

in the dps build u didnt take the elementalist node ( 10 % extra elemental damage ) ( near the start of templar ) while on the tankier build u did , which makes it kinda strange for me , maybe should have been the other way ?

Based off of the all out dps build I did a few alterations using the same number of points because I wanted to see how iron grip would fit and would like to gets opinion on the changes.

The main difference is giving up 15% elemental damage to get iron grip which according to calculations will give roughly 60% projectile damage which applies I believe to both parts of lightning arrow. Though won't work for elemental damage added from auras.
Using the offline application to compare passive stats the notable differences going from your build to mine are:

+60 str
-50 dex
+10 int
-20 max life node
+8% max life
-12% attack speed
-24% projectile damage
+6 attack speed with a bow
+30% increased physical damage with bows
+60.8% physical damage from strength applying to projectile attacks
-15% increased elemental damage

So a net lose of 6% attack speed, 15% elemental damage, and 10% evasion rating(due to dex).
For a gain of 10 max life(due to str life), 8% max life, +30.8% projectile attacks, and +30% physical damage with bows.
It also gets you close to Vaal Pact in the off chances you want to use it.

This was just to fit within my self-prescribed 100 point limit. There is no rule here - if you'd rather get that node than not, feel free to, just sacrifice something else.

Petrov, both parts of Lightning arrow the elemental and physical damage part scales with physical damage so still seems strong

And yes you are right on the 30.8% being physical damage on projectile attacks.
From the skills you listed the only part that physical damage increase won't effect is the damage gained from anger, wrath, and the flat elemental damage of elemental hit. So maybe its not worth the shift but idk 45% bonus to everything except anger, wrath, and elemental hit seems pretty strong.(subtracted the 15% elemental boost which probably would be less than 15% damage due to some damage still being physical but whatever)
