Now my question is; is this build possible on nemesis without voltaxic? I think that if I face a group of ele reflects, I will just 1 shot kill my self with so many crit in this build xD Ofcourse I could be very very observant, but I think that will get really annoying, and there will be a time where I won't see the reflects and just 1 shot myself.. Would like to hear your opinions about this, cuz I wanna try this build but don't wanna waste so much time and just 1 shot my self xD Grtz I'm currently lvl 70 in Nemesis. I'm starting to see the power of the build, but it's VERY gear reliant. I'll let you know how it is once I'm 80-82 and I have most of the crit chance and crit damage nodes. My gear is pretty crappy though. :) Shadow LA/Frenzy Crit Guide : http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/470867 \|\| Best Life Belt on PoE for Mirror : http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/521100 IGN : Blastrophe	Posted by Blastrophe#3071 on Nov 18, 2013, 3:46:49 PM Quote this Post
Okay that's very nice :) Btw, I started lvling already, my ranger now lvl 40 ^^ Will just take it slowly cuz my gear is pretty crappy, I'm only using what I find :) 1 thing I still would like to know is why did you choose for blood magic actually xD Isn't the dmg output like much much higher with a blood magic gem in the 6l bow, and instead use 2 aura's or 3 with alpha's howl?

Single target in a 4L will be relatively weak and to be honest its a hassle to do BM gem since everything will then have to have BM gem curses and I don't think it would work well with how I collect power charges.

Hi! I've been reading for quite a while and would suggest reconsidering the newly placed Iron Grip-Keystone. While playing with Lionseye, i can understand that reflect is an big issue, but since you've been using Voltaxic Rift for a while now, those 2 points seem just to good to be true. So i grabbed my trusty calculator and put up some numbers. -- Current Stats Frenzy Solo - Group 1393 - 2571 ø-damage 5.52 - 5.81 APS 7691 - 14962 BaseDps (*) LA Solo - Group 476 - 955 ø-damage 3.18 - 3.48 APS 1515 - 3326 BaseDps Now what would change, if would spec out of the Attack-Speed-Cluster under the Ranger-Tree, take the path next to the WED-Cluster there and put those two points into Iron Grip? With your current gear and the added 10 Strength-Node, you would gain 46.8% increased projectile dmg. Since you already took those at the Shadow-Starting-Area (24% increased proj. dmg.) it would grant you a nice 37% per projectile increase. -- Stats with Iron Grip but without 9% IAS. Frenzy Solo - Group 1918 - 3542 ø-damage 5.4 - 5.7 APS 10361 (+34.7%) - 20179 (+34.8%) BaseDps LA Solo - Group 655 - 1315 ø-damage 3.06 - 3.36 APS 2007 (+32.4%) - 4421 (+33%) BaseDps Just as a comparison, to achieve a 33% dps-increase via Crit-Multiplier, you would need over 200% Crit-Multiplier or 350% Crit-Chance. I guess that's not as easy available. Those whole calculations are based on the assumption, that projectile-dmg is multiplicative with the attack. I'm currently not rich enough to test it out with out regretting the Regret-Orbs, so any feedback is welcomed, whether I've ridiculed myself or not. Take Care!

For a long time I thought Iron Grip converted strength to physical damage for projectiles I will test it out and let you know! Thanks for the suggestion. Edit tried dropping 8% IAS and 20% crit for it and it didn't add up to it so I tried it by speccing out of 2 8% life passives and it doesn't add enough damage to consider dropping 2 life passives for at my level.

Hey good idea but see http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/23989/page/4 for how iron grip works It is a multiplier, but stack with other increased dmg multiplier and it's not "more:, so you can't just multiply by the base number and is the reason why blast isnt seeing such a big increase.. still good idea tho if you can sqeeze in.

I'm very new to this game, and looking for a build to guide me while I figure out the game and this immense talenttree. LA seems like good fun, and seems to fit my normal playstyle in aRPGs. First of all it seems that you're playing a shadow instead of a ranger. Would that be preferable for an LA build? Second: The main points in the talent tree seems to be life + crit. Wouldn't straight damage, like some of all the elemental damage be really helpfull for this kinda build? (The answer most likely is no, I'd just like to know why.)
