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.)

Im a shadow because I have lvl 90+ when I decided to play this build and rerolling wasn't an option for me. Regardless I wanted to do more damage while still being somewhat balanced with life. If you want to be more tanky play ranger if not play shadow I have this build posted in the shadow section also.

What is your crit multi & chance at?

Chance is at 32%, multi for frenzy is 715% and LA is 515%

You are still missing a good amount of crit multi and is your crit chance with power charges? What bow are you currently using?

Im not using any power charges. my crit chance s now 32% with gifts from above on LA and im using voltaxic

Whats the alternative to Kaom? High life and armor?

The normal HP/RES/EV.

Anyone with a rare bow can show gear and tell us the dps?
I see many people use Lioneyes/Voltaxic but i cant afford it so i want to know what dps i can get with rare bow.

thanks.

just spec'ed into this build with my lvl 82 ranger, jumped into a 68 lvl map and couldn't kill SHIT. granted i don't have voltaxic, but a pretty decent ele bow

if u want to solo 68+ maps with this build without a voltaxic be prepared to be a little disappointed

rest of my gear for reference:

Your quiver or amulet have 0 multiplier or crit so if you specced into my build thinking you just needed to change your tree around and do damage you thought wrong.

switched out some gear into this, and i still have the same problems:


couldn't single target kill a yellow mob on tropical island map

Bud you need a ton of crit multi and crit chance. You just have crit chance on your ammy and quiver... The 30% increased weapon dmg is nice but you also have no gear with increased attack speed or added light or phys dmg..... other than your bow which isnt really all that good to be brutally honest. Its like you just threw a bunch of gear together without reading the build and hoped it would work. This build requires specific stats to work of which you have 1 required stat of 3 or 4 that you have focused on. You speak as if your expecting this game to spoon feed you like Diablo 3 did. You would be a complete victim if you are expecting this, this game requires thought process and pre planning to make builds that are viable. Based on what I see Im surprised you dont get mobbed the second you enter docks.

Perhaps you should use skeletons to tank for you in single player, something like

Linking faster casting to the totem increases cast speed for you casting the totem and also the totem casting the skeletons.

few questionss:

As I dont have kaoms (and wont have any time soon) I have 5L Lioneyes and this chest . Should I link one 5L with Frenzy+support gems and the other 5L with LA+support gems? Or would it be better to get one 6L item and link it together (frenzy+LA)? Or would be the best option be to get Thunderfists and link frenzy with it (in this case I would have one free 5L, what to link to it)? is the 25 ex+ investment rly worth it for those gloves?

Also my second question, how would Vaal pact work with this build? would it solve the issue with reflect?

thanks in advance

Vaal pact on life is the sketchiest thing in the game I don't recommend it at all. Dont put both active skills in 1 item if thats what you mean once you get a kaoms you would want thunderfists so that frenzy gets a little boost in damage from being in a 4L piece.
