[1.0.3] Vaine's Blood Magic & Critical Frenzy/LA Build

I don't agree that its difficult to play this build using all self found / self purchased gear. I haven't even played that much (couple days a week) and I have accumulated a decent set of gear that works fine:
I picked up this chest today for 1 exalt btw ;D

with this build i can play like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyhqiczOs94

without the 3 auras obvious

Vaine, what is your 4L defensive CWDT look like now?

on the 1st page, i see the CWDT (level 1) is still linked to level 20 max skills

what did you change that combo to?

Right now

I use CWDT (level 1), Immortal Call (level 3), Enduring Cry (level 5), Increased Duration (High level)

is there some CWDT combo that I should be using instead?

Same combo as before, only I switched to level 1 spell totem, summon skeletons and blind, leveling them all up alongside CwDT.

frenzy isn't a pure phisycal skill? why you link weapon elemental damage?

Since we run Wrath and Hatred, we push this by fast attacks and Frenzy's physic component through WED gem.

When are people going to realise that the WED gem affects ALL ELEMENTAL DAMAGE on auras, gear, and weapon regardless of attack used. >_<

Frenzy attack deals 110% of base physical damage, correct, but any elemental damage provided by gear and auras also gets applied to the damage of frenzy, and with my gear that's a considerable amount of flat elemental damage that benefits greatly from WED gem.

FYI; Both Anger and Wrath give more damage than Hatred unless 40% of your base physical damage exceeds the damage of Anger/Wrath.

Also; I specced out of the duelist projectile cluster once again, this time I picked up Influence. Turns out 36% increased effect on selfcast auras had a better impact on my solo dps. :)

i started this game 1 month ago ç_ç

thx for your work on this build! i made a little modify on first skill tree starting from your build:


i modify this(red=removed blue=added):
Open in new tab or you can't see anything.




i change full evasion in armour, added some damage, evasion and res and removed some critical strike multiplier. what do you think about this build? i think is better for survive, without renounce dps.
actually i'm at level 52 and i have about 2000dps with frenzy and 900 with LA (5 frenzy charge). is too low for dominus cruel? ( i think i can reach lv55-56 before dominus with quest).


sry for all this question, but i think this is the best topic of ranger section and i know you can help me with youor considerations ^^

Does anyone who posts builds ever play nemesis? I always see softcore builds posted only. I don't really have the time to come up with my own build. Just want to play the game.


Are there any LA, or Rain of Arrows, or Frenzy based bow builds that are designed purely for Nemesis?

I think for Nemesis, you shouldn't go for CRITS as reflect hits so hard, even with a decent lifepool, evasion and resistances, it may onehit you with a low multiplier even.

Go for the noncrit builds who use Splitarrow / Frenzy or ElemHit and you be fine from my own experience.
