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

"
how much life leach and life do you need (and possibly DPS?) before BM is viable?


Well, im @ lvl 42 right now, skilled every life / trollblood (1,5% lifereg ?) and will skill BM when i reach it in 2 or 3 levels (or via quest reward skillpoints bit earlier :D) right now i got 17,7 life / s regeneration and every hit collects 20 life for me - that means i can spam LA with even with LMP on it (that increases my manacosts to 29 / LA). Im havin 1300 life atm and fullresists which should work quite well in cruel, just doing ledge atm afraid of losing another char (after lvl 37 / 40 marauder) but my stats should be enough to finish a1 and half of a2.
Hey Petrov! Hey everyone else!

Today was a good day. After more fusing orbs than I care to admit i finally crafted a 6L chest.
Funny thing is, I was really positive I would only get 5. So now I have this problem...
What to put in the 6th link?

Currently using LA > Wep ele > Faster attacks > LMP > life leech.

I saw petrov's post before Open Beta about possibly using +chaos dmg but I dont have that. Im currently trying lightning penetration but i dont really see much difference. Does anyone have any suggestions on what a sweet 6l lightning arrow setup should be?


Thanks all!

P.S. it might not be the most gg ever, but i am damn proud of this b/c i crafted and farmed everything myself. No trading involved.

I would use a quantity gem in it, because you farm really big amounts of mobs and your dmg with 5l LA should be insane ;) Unfortunately i cant see your socket colors right now (damn proxy settings) so cant say if it fits your 6l colors.
Hey guys, i'm new to the game and i just started my ranger. Found this awesome guide and tried to modify the build to maximize dps while sacrifising the least amout of health. I'm still unsure if it's worth the changes. What do you think, would really appciate some feedback.
Thank you Petrov.

The difference between the shock tank and shock dps build for anyone interested.
Tank---------------------------------------||------DPS
50 str--------------------------------------||------50 dex
10 life--------------------------------------||------10 int
5% maximum life-----------------------------||------5% elemental dmg
2.9% life regen------------------------------||------12% attack speed
15% elemental resistances-------------------||------24% projectile damage
30% reduced extra damage from criticals



I think you missed the second +15% elemental resistance node. He has two of them.


So it's actually +30% elemental resistances in the tank build.


Yeah but he also has one +15% elemental resistance node in the dps build.
So the difference between the builds is only 15% elemental resistances.

As a sidenote you get a total of 4.4% life regen with the tank build and 1.5% with the dps build.
If you want more life regen in the dps build you can give up a 8% hp node to take the 1.0% life regen node near the Catalyse node.

Anyone else want to chime in on this? I personally am a fan of the thought that killing faster=more loot. I'd rather have another dps gem tbh.

What do you guys thing for 6L???

currently have:
LA>>>Elemental wep>>>faster attack>>>LMP>>>life leach

What would be the greatest dps gain gem to have in the last slot?
Light pen? Fire dmg? chaos dmg? light dmg? cold dmg? Any thoughts or experience is greatly appreciated.

Bumping with another question, for mr.petrov, or anyone who has an ideea actually. what is better to use, in terms of dps, projectile weakness or elemental weakness? (i am currently using projectile weakness, but got my hands today on an elemental weakness, and just wondering)

I have a witch friend with ele weakness curse and it does NOT come close to projectile weakness + LA arrow.

The pierce with LA arrow makes mobs go away faster than any curse I have tried

imo added Lightning with Quality is the way to go (Quality adds Shock Chance)
