I'm using grace, wrath and anger.

Ice shot with mana leech + faster attack + add fire dmg + weapon elem dmg.

Do you think this is best in slot for this spec ?

I just don't think I can save enough to ever afford one :P Rolling maps can get pretty expensive really fast ^^ I don't really need to upgrade any of my equipment now, so that kinda helps me to save xD

It's a long term investment.

1. You will run 77maps faster
2. You can resell it later on for the same amount of orbs

I was just wondering if there is a better yellow bow (perhaps roll 150% + critical ?)

There is, if you roll a a big physical harbinger you will do better dps. you can get 430+ physical damage on the top end of a perfectly physical rolled harbinger.

Broadstroke is a clear choice here despite only having 6 more DPS. The rare quiver is pushing calculated DPS by having critical strike multiplier--this means only portion of your damage, critical hits, are increased. That quiver will cause spikes and drops in your DPS. Further, it will make you more prone to kill yourself on physical damage reflect mobs.

I always prefer higher mainhand overall damage than DPS increase via critical hits. I'm currently at 380% critical multiplier. I can get it over 500 with 2 additional pieces but that is suicide because I would 1-shot myself on any crit against phys. damage reflect mob.

VictorDoom - please make a 60-80lvl HC passive - you jumped from 60-100 - which is unfair - currently at 67 and I don't know what to prioritize...

Please for the sake of completeness make a 60-80 passive build - and the put the endgame passive which is currently from 60-100

I have only 4% mana leech from gear/passives, which is just fine for me. I do not have Mana Leech gem on either Frenzy or Split Arrow.

I'm running Hatred, Haste and Grace auras linked to Reduced Mana gem. I have some 230 mana left, which is more than enough for me.

I have Citadel bow with 1.2 APS. I can imagine that higher attack speeds can lead to mana issues.

I had severe issues with mana around lvl35 when I started to use Frenzy. I would use Burning Arrow instead of Frenzy until lvl50 or so if I reroll ranger now.

PS. ensure your hit % is around 80%. Anything less will impact your mana efficiency.

Hi guys, i'm level 82 default ranger so far so good i can do 66-72 maps with no problems. My only mod problem on maps is Physical Reflects,Temporal Chains & Slow hp/mana regen.

Here's my current equips:



Need to upgrade my rings & gloves. :( Currently i have 477% crit damage i'm thinking to get more like 700% crit damage. :D
