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

Why not greater multiple over lesser multiple? Also I only have 4L gear right now and you didn't include a leach in those, my main attacks should have leaches with this build right?

Also what do you suggest for single target dps? Elemental Hit?

Hi Guys,

I ended up going with the tankier build, and in about 20 hrs of play have hit lvl 53! Its going great, loving the skill choices just go this bow .. figure its good for now, what yall think its worth? Found it, hoping i can trade it off later. Anyways i was going through my gems and found conductivity and thought hmm that could work really well. I have been using proj weakness, should i use both or is it not worth it for the 43 int requirement?

Thanks!

I believe Mr. Petrov recommends Frenzy or Elemental hit for single target. Elemental hit is very nice. As for why not GMP or chain even, well that's just something you kinda need to see for yourself. LMP is plenty! And gmp and chain have higher dmg reducers.

My appologies, I forgot to include the leech gem. But the other 4 with some form of life leech/life on hit is a good combo.

Good points. I use frenzy now but without getting extra passives for it I don't think i'd enjoy it. I'll try elemental hit.

I would use Frenzy at the beginning to apply 3 Frenzy charges and then switch over to Elemental Hit. Even a non-supported Frenzy pushes Elemental Hit with the attack speed bonus.

I've been trying this with a Bow Templar (Started going to the shock node and just now got Resolute Technics) and I'm finding the mana intake REALLY abusive.

Will this become bether with blood magic and life leech/on hit?

I've been heading in the direction of the iron grip/resolute technique build, and I'm rolling along reasonably. I'm primarily using lighting arrow and elemental hit; lightning for multiples, and elemental hit for single target DPS. I have them both linked up to life leech and weapon elemental damage. Unfortunately, my DPS seems to be stuck @ around 400 DPS. I'm about to reach some more elemental damage nodes, but I think I'm missing something gear-wise. I am running with a death harp bow. Could anyone make some suggestions about what I may be missing?

Here's my current tree:

Gear:



So, is there something I should be changing to push my DPS up, or am I just waiting for more +elem damage nodes?

You're killing yourself DPS-wise by using a bow without ele damage on it. Those ele damage nodes aren't being used to their full potential right now.

Ikariusrb you aren't getting enough damage from most of your pieces. Your quiver is nice but your bow has no elemental damage so that mod is wasted until you get an elemental bow. You can also get elemental damage% on a belt when that time comes. Gloves are also a nice source of dps with elemental damage mods and increased attack speed. Finally your jewelry could be much better, you can get a ton of dps from proper jewelry. Just as an example i'll link some of mine. Mine still has a lot of room for improvement but can give you an idea.

Wouldn't Hatred be better aura than Wrath/Anger?

I calculated with my meager math skillz that if you have under 546 mana it would actually reserve less mana than Wrath/Anger and the damage is scaling from your weapon damage.

Average damage from 16lvl Wrath is 55 and 16lvl hatred has 23% damage->cold so if you have average damage over 240 it should be better for damage?

I don't know what kind of numbers high level chars have because I'm just a beginner, but it would seem to me that ranger probably wouldn't have over 546 mana and 240 average damage seems pretty easy to get too?

ps. When does Lightning Arrow actually come better than Poison Arrow? For me it still has less dps in the statistics window and actual dps seems better with poison arrow too, the poison cloud SEEMS to apply any elemental damage to the cloud too since it glimmers with different colors when I have some elemental damage equiped/aura active.

Oh and now I just realized that reserved mana doesn't matter at all with Blood Magic and 30% off from lifepool would be horrible, nvm! -.-
