Im asking if I have to pick up resolute technique to be succesful endgame....becuase i dont want to use RT at all but some people say i need either RT or Lioneyes to do endgame maps.

Yeah, you need to use RT until you get a Lionseye. If you are not going the crit build.

Thanks for getting back to me by the way, i find it very honorable of you too check on your thread.
SO

Basically Im making an Endgame Lightning Arrow/frenzy duelist (NOT HARDCORE} with a rare 6link bow and stacking crit at the same time. I will not get Resolute technique due to the no crit policy it has. I also will not get a Lioneyes either since the bow i have has better stats. Currently I have rats nest helm, thunderfist gloves, The taming ring, and Blood Dance boots. I am headed straight for Static Blows in my passive tree and use blood magic gems, i run hatred and grace auras and maybe later one i can pick up a third....now my questions

Will a crit build with this stuff work?
Should I get a Berserk Ring? if so which one?
Which Skill should be linked together in thunder fist gloves to get the lvl18 added lightning dmg bonus? frenzy or LA? (LA currently 6 linked in bow)
Last question is...What should my node priority be as far as Crit chance VS Wep Ele Dmg VS physical dmg VS projectile damage?

Again thanks so much for following up

PS I remember you saying static blows wasn't needed for crit builds....if thats the case I could pay you in game currency to design a passive tree path for me but if static blows adds the highest endgame damage then I will want to pick it up right??

One question:

Why no Iron Grip + Unwavering Stance on the 80p build?

They are both very close to Blood Magic, and Unwavering Stance seems like no-brainer if you allready got Iron Reflexes.

Been thinking about this a lot and the more I do, the less I get why IG and US are skipped.

You got two options then - this one is similar to yours with just a few changes - or, THIS ONE is completely different with more life and not crit based. (Which i think is a lot safer considering you don't have voltaxic rift and are pretty vulnerable to reflect.)

Hope that helped.

Now compare that to this bottom line reroute:



You need 6 more points, but these can be taken easily from some of the lesser nodes. In exchange you get IG, US and Blood Drinker. Also, it's much easier to take (for levelling) and drop (later) Blood Magic from the rerouted line.

There is another option duelist archer besides lightning?

Yup, this one:

Is this build still viable? I ask because when I look at the passives a lot of them seem to be missing.

some really powerful necromancy going on in this thread
