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

I grabbed Conditioning instead of the aura skills, between its life and strength bonuses it gives me +200 life to have that node. And well, another +20 STR to level up all the red gems this build is based on. Cuts my INT some, but who cares, really. Just ditched critical weakness and lightning warp... and wrath.

hmmm in your "full maxed tree" listed, the passive tree skips the entry nodes into Deadly Draw...

something bugged with that tree?


also for your level 84 build, wondering approximately how much DPS this build was nerfed...

I'm gonna update the maxed tree soon. As for the lost dps, LA went from 3,8k to 3,6k, Frenzy 28k to 26k.

I am thinking of doing an IR version with 1 aura and maybe BM if I can get the 5-6 links to do it

This is what I came up with for 101 points

If you go IR, cant you just simply unspec out of the acrobatics and such, and put 1 point into IR?

do you really need to change the entire build? since evasion rating nodes still affect evasion gear just the same?

DPS didn't actually go down, it's just the game displaying it differently now.

No, DPS actually did go down, as neither LA or Frenzy was affected by misleading dps in the same way, for instance, cyclone was.

Hi,

I want to go with your build cause it seems great.

Can you guide what direction should i go (in passive skill tree) as I am leveling?
Because there is no level-by-level skill pick guide.

Should i first go up and left or down then left?

thanks

Go full damage at first for quicker progression through normal and cruel. Then pick up life/eva and in the end crits. I'd also get all the +30 STR and +30 INT nodes on the way, even if they aren't in the final build. You'll be using a lot of red gems especially.

Also make sure you have a good high DPS bow for the end game, or you'll hit the wall on late merci when you won't be able to damage anything even with crits.

I know what you mean. DPS on paper is ok with my Ranger but the problem is, the DPS are mainly caused by Attack speed (7 frenzy charges, fast bow). Sadly, in PoE Attack speed does not mean much if the base DPS is not good, Mobs Armor can neutralize little "needle stabs" pretty well, no matter how much hit them.

I still think about what new build I use for my Ranger after the free passive reset I've got. Crit yes, Blood Magic no if ever possible with onl 4l items. Mana drain maybe is to much with a LA/Frenzy build if you don't invest in manaleech or use BM support gems.
PoE sometimes really makes it hard to find a matching build for your needs. ^^"
