What chance to hit do you not want to go bellow?
Im currently at 82% and it feels kinda low-ish.


having around 80% at level 75 is ok, if you have that at 75 you dont need anymore accuracy nodes, just be sure to check, the rating will get lower as you level but it doesnt matter because it scales with monster level, highest monster level in the game is 75, so thats what you want to base it off.

This weekend I'll sit down and plan it out better, but my next ranger (or possibly ranged duelist?) will go physical damage, high crit and Frenzy. Apparently crit bypasses armor and I've noticed it utterly destroys even bosses when you land that nice crit. That and Frenzy is a lot of fun. Thinking Iron Grip, Blood Magic with LL and LGoH with gear focusing on crit, attack speed and physical damage (and of course the usual array of resistances and +life).

How does that sound as a concept? I'd post a skill build, but that's yet to be done. Just figured I'd toss the idea out there and see what you think.

got the Broadstroke unique quiver (+50% physical dmg) so guess i'm making a physical bow ranger. I'm not doing Frenzy.

First 19 skill points:
After Perfect Aim node, i'm make a beeline for Iron Reflexes.

Then Greater impact (+18% bow dmg) then Heart seeker (+30% Crit strike multiplier).

Then what?
-Thick skin (+18% max life)
-Diamond skin (+15% elemental resists)

or...?

Thx!

-Greater impact (+18% bow dmg) or
-Heart seeker (+30% Crit strike multiplier)

-Diamond skin (+15% elemental resists)

Thx!


made a walkthrough for it, dont go IR early, armor is bad early game while evasion is good, get IR midgame.

how do i post an image of my gear?

In addition to the Broadstroke unique quiver (+30% dmg), I have a lvl 15 3linked green socket bow with +48% physical attack.

what main gem and 2 support gems to put in it at this low lvl? (I have Fork already so can get another support gem when my Ranger does the Siren's Last Cadence quest.)


and how do i create a skill tree and link it here?

edit:
corrected Broadstroke +dmg

Click the picture of your characters face on the website, go through your stash and just click the items while youre writing the post to link them.

Pretty sure Broadstroke has a 30% physical damage increase.

This build does not use fork or chain. The supports i used are posted in the guide.

oops about broadstroke. corrected my post.

your suggested supports from your guide (since i'm not going Frenzy):
RoA-Inc crit dmg-inc crit strikes-faster proj-faster attacks

but i'm only act 1 normal. Only have RoA. lol.
going to get Faster projectiles in Siren's Last Cadence quest.

I might as use Fork since i have a free slot on my bow.
what happens if you fork RoA? ALOT more arrows fall??


And this is my bow:
Spoiler


ahh.. need spoiler tag to show item.

and thx VictorDoom for being patient with me! :)


edit:
increase Crit dmg + strikes are BLUE gems!? doh...

Absolutely nothing happens if you use fork with RoA, the arrows land in the ground, and are already split when the ranger fires them.

You can get to act 2 without any supports on any build, its easy.
