Saint Vitus: Physical crit ranger guide[Always Updated]

Yo, thanks for a nice guide. I'm going to try out this in HC, but I wonder how I should progress in the tree, since it's a different route than the crit build. How early should I go for RT? Some guidelines would be very appriciated.

cool build im gonna start my ranger today using this build :)

Hello. First of all thanks for a grat guide, I'm lvl 50 and so far your build working pretty well, however, I have a few questions.

In the original post you said you've got - Critical strike chance: 335%
while I could only find 280%. Assuming that you already counted 3 nodes next to Bloodthirst there is stil 10% missing.

The actual values, given this skill pathing, are:
265% crit chance
165% crit multiplier

Second thing is, it is really worth to use Iron Reflexes? If yes, could you explain me why?
Thanks in advance!

oh whoops i accidentally caluclated it by the old value of assassination i think, which gave me more for some reason, i have edited that, forgot it :)

And i have psoted that there are not enough points int he skill tree on the site as you actually get in the game, so you must add the second heartseeker node too+ the 15% crit node next to it.

IR is very worth using because you spend a small amount of points for massive amounts of armor, if you were to take pure evasion which is not very reliable to start with, you will have to spend more points in evasion nodes too.

i'd say you start going for RT around cruel difficulty would be the best time to travel to it.

im a bit noobish still so i still dont dominate the mechanincs but id like to ask something about this build if possible .

when u get iron reflexes u get all ur evasion rating transformed into armor and u get 5 % static evasion rating from right then , so if after a while u get reflexes node ( gives 30 % evasion rating ) it applies automatically to the previous evasion rating u had ? , lets say for example 50 % ( so it would be a bigger boost ) or to ur actual evasion rating which should be 5 % ?( wouldnt be a big boost )

i dont know if u should get reflexes node before iron reflexes in case thats true , maybe i didnt explain myself very good , tho id like if some1 could explain that to me before i keep getting more skills points.


thx in advance

first ur evasion number is calculated ( x from gear * y * z dunno what ever u got here )
THEN it gets transformed into armor :)

the 5 % is just the min chance to evade, so this is what u got, even tho uve got IR.

edit: oh and for this calculations it doesnt matter WHEN u get those skills ofc... if i get ur second question right

ty for ur answer , i think i get ur point tho english is not my primary lenguage and i have a lil problems with it , ill try to use numbers to explain myself a lil better :


lets say i have 1000 evasion rating and i get iron reflexes so i get 1000 armor , and my evasion rating goes poof .

after a while i decide to get reflexes node , will i get that 30 % bonus from the previous 1000 evasion rating i had so i would get 1300 armor in total ?


ty in advance

What is the bow's maximum crit chance? I thought it was 5% * 1.3 from the best mod, but I'not sure yet. And also, how much crit chance can you get from decent high level gear? I'm currently trying to make a similar char with better dps, but I've never seen the best ranger gear could offer. Tnx for the info in advance!

Hi im in need of help i was wondering if you could make me a Shadow pure Physical damage build instead of the ranger but a shadow im having troubles committing to playing a girl character if you could help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated! or even a outline to help me or anything would be much appreciated!

Hey Victor I was wondering if it would be possible for you to make a few different passive skill trees to put in the OP. One for about every 30 points or so just so I know which nodes I should be going for first. Ty :)
