I play on HC, now ending the 1st difficulty. But i realized now that i would have RT and i don't need crit chance and damage. Thats why i'm thinking now about what the best supports for frenzy are. I thought for example about added damage-faster attacks-manaleech, accuracy does not fit, because my hits can't be evaded. Can you give me an advice for that please.

Cheers


Yes, thats good enough for frenzy on a 4link.

I will post suggestions for HC skills too now



Thanks for the fast answer ;)

1 Qestion:
What do you think about Melee Physical Damage Support Gem for Frenzy or RoA? Will it stack as ranged attack because of Iron Grip?

No, it wont stack, that gem is for melee only

Just curious, how the hell did you get 17k dps?

I'm sitting at 73 atm with pretty decent gear and my dps is ~5k with 7 stacked frenzy


i had around 7.1k single target, with around ~18k hit damage on crit, not 17k.

You can get more now with a good bow, i had about the best physical bow ive seen in CB, which is kinda shit/mediocre compared to the ones im seeing in OB, i see very high potention in dps now.
i hope i get to craft a massive damage harbinger later in the ladder so i can start my ranger again and post some videos, im missing playing this build already.

Although, 17k dps is child'splay compared to some of the other builds i did XD (reached 220k with my shadow last ladder)


hmm, weird that I am doing way less now with the buffs to phys, I have almost all of the phys damage/crit chance/crit damage nodes now and this is my gear



other gear is junk/doesnt add any phys damage, maybe i need rings/neck with phys?

Physical on quiver+rings and ammi helps a lot, i should specify that i had 7.1k(charges up, 6 charges) with a bow kinda like yours on a 5link, with a 4link you would expect to do less dps.

Hello Victor,

please your opinion on my current state if you will:
Only a few skills to get RT now.

And my gear, please if you could help me choose where to focus and what to change immediately:


I'm annoyed by all my: "incr light dmg %"-items, looking to change to manaleech/physdmg asap ofc..

Looks pretty solid, id go for the 3 life nodes near center after you take RT then to Perfect Aim and Greater impact, some more life nodes then frenzy charges.

As Gear goes, it doesnt look to bad, id try to get more life on belt and morre resitances in general, try to get life on every item, and physical damage + leech+life + res on rings(those would be the PERFECT rings for this build) amulet id go for life, crit chance, crit multi, res and preferably ontx base type. Quiver needs physical damage, leech, and life with crit chance + crit multi.

I bet you can trade those light dmg stuff to a ele ranger, they love those

No crit-gear for me, I'm playing HC and getting RT as you know, otherwise thanks for the input! :-)

hmm im at 65 now, i got around 2k DPS with frenzy, 1k2 DPS with RoA (full frenzy charges)

i still have to use my lv 50 bow, cuz nobody is gonna sell me 1, i have spammed Trade channel for days, and still no upgrade :|

anyway, back to the main point, I got around the same DPS as my friend's elemental ranger (both 1 target-attack and AOE), it takes the same time to kill boss with a 1-target-attack (frenzy - elemental hit), but he kills a group of mobs way faster than me

ok i do the Fellshine Ruins - Church runs, he almost 1-2hit everything with LA, but i have to spam RoA more than 3-4 times to kill a group

I really need advices here Victor :( in ur guide, u said we now can deal MORE physical dps becuz of the buff

Everything seems to melt quickly (becuz ur physical build is decent), but is it true that Elemental Ranger is STILL far stronger than Physical Ranger with AOE, or i just missed something ??

Its far stronger cause elemental bows are everywhere now and its very easy to get a decent one, until people keep doing maps and finding great physical bows to sell, you will be on par or sub par with elemental, but when you do get that physical bow you can bet you will leech all of your life and mana back in hit, and when you crit, you will feel it.

Just to provide some insight, a friend, moosifer is using lioneyes for his elemental dualist build, yeah, a physical designed bow, and he does more damage with it than with a tripe elemental thicket, just because of conversion from physical with gems and items.

Also, link concentrated effect to your RoA, close to 70% more damage when leveled, and the area stays the same as RoA levels, with quality it gets even bigger. You will up your dps substantially with concentrated effect, just swap out crit strikes or crit dmg for it until you have enough links for all of them!
