Yellow - Lightning Damage
Blue - Cold Damage
Red - Fire Damage

Depends what your main aim is. Are you an Elemental Damage Ranger? Or are you a Frenzy & Physical Attack Ranger? Because the two require completely different bows.

A good bow for Elemental Damage would be triple Elemental Damage (has 3 stats of yellow, red, blue). You want to avoid the Elemental Bows that have Elemental damage as low as 1-3 or something pathetic. 5 links you can't go wrong with 5 Links. Again, what gems you choose directly relate to the kind of damage you are dealing.

In contrast, high physical damage and critical chance would be good for a single target Frenzy ranger.

I personally have a Grove Bow that is quite good, but only 4 link. I, myself, am looking for a godly Thicket Bow :)

i play without leech or gain on hit just with regen and keep the manacost low.

Hey all!

Well, after toying with LMP+Chain some more I still just cannot get on the bandwagon. Chain w/o LMP performs amazingly! It allows you to hit targets that are more spread out than LA's aoe will hit. LMP w/o chain also handles quite well. It gives you that spray and pray ability for when you need to move. It also supplies superior firepower vs anything close to a wall as well as mobs that are grouped very tightly. But when you put these 2 together you just lose far to much power in your shots to make it worth the crazy arrows flying everywhere effect. LMP and Chain linked together literally drops my tooltip dps by 2/3. And not only does the tooltip say I lost a ton of power, but actually killing things shows this as well. While it is cool, it is simply NOT worth the dmg you sacrifice when 1 or the other can get the job done as good or better by themselves.

My 2 cents after playing around with it for a few days.
edit: Did I mention it doubles the mana cost? 114 mana for a spam ability is quite harsh. Though the build can take it, it leaves less hp from life on hit/life steal to counter dmg taken.
edit2: I'm sorry I just can't help myself :)

LMP Pros:
Less dmg reduction modifier
Spray and pray effect
Shooting against walls triggers the aoe from all 3 arrows
Less mana cost multiplier
Makes your bow sound like a sniper rifle! Suppressed ofc

LMP cons:
Very ineffective vs mobs spread out of aoe radius
Wreaks havoc on your fps

Chain Pros:
Always hits 3 targets in a very big radius
Can hit targets behind walls if original target is within line of sight
Less of fps killer than LMP

Chain cons:
Huge mana cost multiplier
Huge dmg reduction modifier
Requires a bit more attention to aiming

Feel free anyone, to add to this list.
