The Less Evasion and the Projectile damage work since i last used it

But i think vulnerability might work better with this build.

Great, I was using Marauder instead and thinking that with Projectile Weakness I could loose RT instead.

You will have to forgive me with my questions, I have been trying to keep up with the posts but this thread is growing fast so you may have answered them already.

1) Have you looked into a physical build with out crit? Would the change from the crit nodes over to base physical ones be worth it? The only reason I ask is because I have seen others talking about crit not working well (in the game in general) and requiring to many nodes to be worthy.

2) Would a Range totem work well with this build. In particular I was thinking about it with say puncture and lesser projectiles and/or fork to get a rolling aoe DoT.

3) Are you mainly soloing or group play with ur build? Most of my time spent playing is with friends in groups of 3-4 and the amount of health mobs have may make question #2 more worthy.

here is a base of what I am running / thinking for future as well.

-Removing Celerity. You will move at lightning speed already with Haste + movespeed boots.
-Drop the resistance nodes. It's not difficult to hit 75 across the board with just gear.

Not if you're on Merciless with -60% resistance penalty.

More movement speed is negligible, as mobs on merciless with haste, u can't outrun them no matter how much movement speed u have.

My current gear:


Apart from trying to find a Magnate, what else should i be looking for right now?
Working towards capping my resists first, or at least getting enough mana to support high level purity then replace it later along the road when i find better gear.

But, what i want to ask is if i will ever start doing really good dps? Because at the moment is just feels so underwhelming.. I have twice as good gear as some of the other people (with different specs) who i play with and we still do around the same. Just wondering, do i need to get all the +crit nodes first (level 84 or so) to really start dishing out that massive dps or what?

Cheers

Hi, I'm having a lot of difficulty in Cruel Act 2 & 3. I slowly make my way through maps and I'm generally out of mana most of the time (spam flasks). I followed your guide as much as possible, but my damage is relatively meh. Even with flask ticks (infinite mana) I don't do much damage and have to kite around the entire map to kill rares. I'm a level 48 Ranger now, and don't know if I should focus my efforts on other things.

Skills I use: RoA, Frenzy, Grace, HasteAura.

What is ROA?

Probably a good idea to support roa with something other than life gain on hit since this isnt a BM build so really no reason to use it as you have life leech on gear, support it with concentrated effect if you think youre not doing high enough dps with it.

Keep leveling and getting the physical damage nodes+crit at around 77 i had the dps i posted on the bottom of the guide with a decent citadel bow that had around 250 physical dmg and 1.3 aps, considering you can get around 450+ phsyical damage on a harbinger bow, the damage would be quite awesome with a bow like that.

Read through the posts, people always have problems in cruel, some of them may have some suggestions on how they made their run through that act easier.
