[SC/HC] Deize's CI SPLIT ARROW Build. 1.0.2 ADDED GAMEPLAY VIDEO!

Hello every fellow ranger, a lot of people have been asking about my build so here it is. I will make this "Guide" more complete later on but I'll just paste my current build here for people to check.







If your ES isn't 7k+ I suggest you take out some dmg nodes off and take more ES.



MY GEAR ON SOFTCORE IS NOW FOR SALE:http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/747515

=======================================================================
-My current ES is 8,2k
-46% Chance to evade + Ondar's Guile = Almost immune to proj attacks
-Running Discipline + Grace

DPS with 6xPcharges & 4xFcharges
- Split arrow 15,8k (Pcharge on Crit, self buffed)
- Frenzy = 58k (Selfbuffed)

=======================================================================





=======================================================================




Bandits:
normal - +1 Passive
cruel - 18% PhysDmg
merci - +1 Power Charge

I will update this thread when I'm not feeling this lazy.

ps. Feel free to contact me ingame or PM on forums for more info.

My old bow, sold for 240ex in SC:



- Current hybrid roll Eternaled

Will be #2 Crit Bow on SC if manage to hit top Hybrid % roll

pretty standard style passive tree.

my only grip is that Mental Acuity is almost certainly not worth it. 3 points for 40 int + 30% crit chance? Spec out of that.

use the points you gained to start heading towards Heartseeker

70% crit multiplier for 4 nodes is just too good

DPS wise sure, I'm looking more for ES+Mana+DPS. You don't need anymore Crit multi atleast for my gear, would only make it harder against reflects. So your reply is kinda pointless.

40 int = 20 flat mana + 8% ES

A single 8% mana node beats out the 20 flat mana (yes, even if you calculate in all the %mana you already have)

Two 6% ES nodes beat out the %ES by 50%.

For DPS, the empty 15% physical bow damage node almost certainly beats out the 30% crit chance node (which would only give you a whopping 1.5% crit chance....)

So, it's hard to see how my reply was "pointless"

I was just pointing out an obviously inefficient 3-node sequence in your skill tree. Take it or leave it.

Most people prefer optimized builds.

- it's 3 nodes
- My point
- Even a bit higher crit chance = more DPS, than higher crit dmg because everything gets 1 shotted anyway when I crit

the 4 was a typo.

if you have "too much DPS" then you should spec out of DPS anyway and take more survive, rofl.

you make zero sense.

all i was doing was helpfully pointing out that you have a flaw in your build, if you are going for optimized.

those 3 points can be put to better use.

edit: by that logic of "everything dies when I crit anyway", you should spec out of the other 15% phys damage node you took........

Flaw in my build, wow :D come to my lvl bitch. jkjk no offence, your talking about optimizing, that's exactly what i've done for my gear and lvl. If you even think I haven't though this through with my lvl and play time, well ...

The 15% Phys dmg node is for little better life/mana leech.

Ondar's guile + Lioneyes's glare = bad combo.The mod on that bow 'Hits can't be Evaded' means that your reflected projectiles can't be evaded aswell and you take full reflected damage. Imo that's the main reason to get ondar's guile in the first place. Having it only to avoid enemy projectiles being a ranger shooting from far back is useless so you might aswell drop it and maybe get iron reflexes grace combo.

okay so i guess you are aware of that. it's one point i guess why not take it right but wouldnt IR+grace give you more survivability overall playing in HC. im planning an archer myself it would be nice to hear your opinion since you have played archers alot
