What specifically seems to be your problem? Are you running low on mana or just tanking to much? Are you always using your totem? It looks like you aren't using grace.

I would definitely recommend going with 3 auras attached to reduced mana (grace / hatred / haste). I would died a couple of times farming docks but it was because of fighting those damn multiple projectile versions of voidbearers or whatever they are called.

How much HP are you doing? How much DPS? In general you have ok gear (although your jewelry seems slightly week to me). You should also be upgrading all of your armor to 20% quality which is overall very cheap to do.

As a reference (I am lvl 75 but my gear hasn't really changed much) here is my gear.

I know I need a new belt but I need to pick up more int as well. When I was around lvl 65 I believe I had about 2300HP.

Thank you for the reply!

Im running hatred only , and can get 3.4k Frenzy with max charges on single targets. Forhe AoE i just switched to Split Arrows and its doing around 2k as far as i remember.

My damage doesn't seem to be to be the biggest problem. I run out of mana, and i die in 3-4 hits and i feel like my decoy totems dies way too quick. Ill try the 3 auras but i need some more base mana ? And thanks for the quality tip, totally forgot that lol :) And yeah i have been lucky with 5 links but they are not the best :/
Oh and i have around 2k hp and good resistance except chaos
Brace for impact guys, the mana flows nerf is coming tomorrow, might not be pretty.

Just to confirm what do you consider good resistances? At this point in the game you really should be very close to 75 resistances to all elementals. For the docks the good thing is you can ignore lightning and chaos at least.

I am going to make the assumption you have mostly followed the guide and grabbed the evasion nodes, leather and steel and iron reflexes. Grace will help here quite a bit. If you cannot use haste yet don't worry about that so much.

If you are having an issue with mana then this is going to be a fairly large problem. I have no mana problems right now but I did grab 2% mana leech passive, my bow is also a little slower. I think you will need to get more mana leech on items. Using Rain of Arrow in 4L I do not even have reduced mana or mana leech and I can currently sustain this with 4% total mana leech. My frenzy is being sustained with 4% + mana leech in the link. Just as a reminder if you are shooting and you don't have the mana to support the skill it is going to be a normal auto attack at best. What I mean by this and from my understanding you basically will get no bonuses from any of your gems in the link nor the primary skill you were trying to use so your DPS will be horrible in this case.

Definitely try and get that decoy totem leveled up more so it will last a bit longer.

You didn't answer one of my earlier questions. What is the problem you are actually experiencing? Are certain mobs almost killing you?

Another option is you could spend a little more time in fellshrine ruins to get a couple more levels.
Shieze first of all thank you a lot for the feedback!

I'm at work at the moment and cant check my resistance. Could we maybe have a ranger on ranger talk in game later :)? u seem to have a good theory insight
Sure hit me up in game I will probably be playing in about 4 hours or so, although not for very long. My IGN is Shieze.
Ill add you, and find you dont worry :3

It is a nice bow. You may spend a lot of fusing though. At some point you need to decide if you are going to stick it out to get the 5L or if you are going to save to buy a 5L. I know I have burned a lot of fusing on items too, but I think I might continue down that path:p


ill try to make it 5L until i have enough currency to buy lioneye LOL

Thanks
