Hi Sboom,

like Petrov mentionend in his first post, lightning arrow MAX lvl 5 because of its manacosts.

Actually that was for CB. Now you should max it.

Yeah - just missed it :( my LA is still lvl 5 - wahhhhhhhh :D

Petrov,

What do you think about the "Nalaa's Static Blow Ranger Softcore Build (0.10.0f)" in comparison to your "all out DPS - shock stacking" build (0.10.0)" ?


Nalaa's Build

Which one of them excel in Softcore and why?

Hi guys,

I already use The "tankier + shock stacking" build (0.10.0) and I'm lvl 30 and I have to run all over the map to kill the big mobs without stop running. Do you guys do the same tactic or you can kill big mobs in Act 3 without running?

I love this game :D:D:D

Thanks for the answers

The beauty of Blood Magic is that you dish out so much damage that firing off a 5L Lightning Arrow doesn't consume life, net of life leech.

Firing a 5L (5-linked) spell is easy-peasy when you have Blood Magic. I level all my gems up without thinking twice. Just make sure you have high health and enough life regen per second + Life On Hit/Life Leech

Well he mentionend it in his CB Post which i didnt recognized like already said.

You can see it in his comment down the first post :

He says now - i referred to the outdated CB-Version of this build - so im leveling my lightning arrow today...damn, have to reread Guides after updated gameclients :D


Anyone has data about the difference in mid/endgame of Life Leech and Life on Hit ? Ill start getting 3 LoH Gems today, but if life leech is better, i could skip those 3 hours of lvl marauders :D

put loh on split arrow+fork. strike a mob with it, instant potion. thats my right click.

I intend to follow this gemstructure:

"1. Lightning Arrow/Ice Shot + Weapon Elemental Damage + Faster Attacks + Lesser Multiple Projectiles + Life Leech (or Life on Hit, or Culling Strike if you have sufficient Life on hit/kill from your gear). I don't really think you need Chain/Fork with LA given it's inherent AoE attributes."


But, since I'm the noobiest noob in noobville, how do I know how far to level each gem?
